If you’re looking for a card that combines bold design with a simple technique, this project might be just what you need! Today I’m sharing a cheerful and modern card featuring the Sunshine Vibes stamp set, paired with coordinating Boho Vibes paper. The clean layout and pop of colour make it ideal for sending a positive message to someone special.

Creating Impact with a Few Key Elements

This card focuses on a few thoughtful touches to make it stand out:

  • A strip of patterned paper from the Boho Vibes collection adds a fresh, contemporary feel.
  • I used the Fancy Border dies to add a decorative edge – a great way to bring texture without clutter.
  • The sentiment “Sending Good Vibes” is framed using the Stylish Shapes dies, and I used partial die cutting to give it a custom fit that really draws the eye.

The colours are bright and happy, with that sunshine theme carried through the stamped background. I’ve added a few subtle embellishments for sparkle, but the overall look stays clean and unfussy.

Techniques to Try

If you’re new to partial die cutting, don’t worry – it’s easier than it sounds! In the accompanying YouTube tutorial, I’ll walk you through the process step by step, so you can recreate this design with confidence.

Using border dies to create interesting edges is another technique worth experimenting with. You can transform any card base into something eye-catching with just a single pass through your die-cutting machine.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking for ways to use your stash more creatively, this card is a great example of how simple design choices can have a big impact. Mix and match your papers and sentiments to personalise it further.

Spinner cards are such fun. You do need to watch the video to get the full effect. You can find the link below. This card features the Hot Air Balloon bundle. It is a two-step stamp which allows me to mimic the stripey paper in the design of the hot air balloon.

There are two sizes of balloons included in this set. I’ve used the smaller one here. You can also die-cut your balloons instead of stamping them first.

I’m back with another project using the Fluffiest Friends stamp and die bundle. I just love all the cute little critters in this set. Which is your favourite?

This beaver is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I do love to colour, it’s so relaxing. I used both stamps and dies in this card. The die set comes with little leaves and branches to decorate the card. The beaver is so sweet sitting on his “nest” of leaves. You can ink the leaves well for extra interest.

This is a very simple Christmas card that we made in October card club. The die cuts layer up to give interest and dimension to the wreath. The lovely red bow sets off the whole design. I have only added glue at the centre of the bow so it fluffs up nicely.

The stamp set is Merry & Bright and is quickly becoming a favourite. I love this font. They are so easy to cut out around the coloured rectangle. Anything that is easy wins my vote.

I love this stamp set. Such cute dinky images. I’ve coloured this little girl with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love them. Really simply colouring. I used artistic licence with the colour of the bird as I wanted the contrast in colours. The paper is from Hugs of Happiness. It’s a rainbow design and you can see the other half of it below.

I adore this Hello Ladybug stamp set and have used it a number of times already. This little ladybird is just so cute. I’ve heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder so that it can be seen against the red patterned paper. Hopefully, this ladybird will make your wishes come true.

Of course, hippos do ballet, or they do in my world at least. This little cutie is coloured using Polished Pink & Granite ink pads with a water painter. I did ballet all through my junior school and I hate it!! Strangely enough, I love ballet now and watch it quite often. It’s weird how things turn out.
