Every month our team are set a challenge by our lovely upline Mikaela Titheridge – thecraftyoinkpen.co.uk – This month’s challenge was to create a card for a girl and a card for a guy using the same layout. We are allowed to use a different stamp set or dies for each card but the layout has to be recognisably the same.
I chose to use the gorgeous Bottles and Bubbles Framelit Dies for both cards and started by die cutting a number of the large and small bottles from Whisper White cardstock using the Bottles and Bubbles Framelit dies. I also cut out a large bottle in Pacific Point cardstock and Rose Red cardstock.

Taking 2 pieces of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I placed the Pacific Point bottle on one layer and the Rose Red bottle on the other then randomly laid out the die cut white bottles to fill the remaining space. Although the layout was the same I had already decided to have one card portrait style and the other landscape.

Originally I planned to pop up the coloured bottles on Stampin’ Dimensionals but I didn’t like how that looked; instead all the bottles were adhered to the Whisper White panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I used scissors to trim off the over-hanging die cut bottles.

The male, Pacific Point version was added to a Thick Whisper White card base and the Rose Red version to a Rose Red card base in the same way. I stamped the sentiment from the Bird Banter stamp set onto 2 strips of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by ⅜”, one using Pacific Point Ink, the other in Rose Red ink. I banner ended both pieces using Scissors but ended cutting the Pacific Point version down to about 1½”.

I love the simplicity of these cards, hope you like them.
