Hello everyone, today I'm sharing clean and simple die cutting ideas using beautiful supplies by Simon Says Stamp.

I used:  Big Picture Book Lion wafer die,  Mini Flowers and Leaves,  Grassy Edges dies +  Folk  Dance stencil.

I initially thought of making a baby themed project but I changed my mind and I made the kind of projects you can share any time.

The card measures  C6 American stand size card ( 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" inches),  and the tag 3 " x 5" inches.

Big  Picture Book Lion die / head,  measures: 3-1/2" x 3-/12" inches.

I first die cut the lion head out of yellow, pink, black and patterned paper to get the different parts I needed in each colour.  I then put the pieces together and glued them on a white piece of cardtsock. I trimmed around the edges.

Next,  I use oval dies to make the body and the little lion paws.

I had the idea to add the lion's body in a different way so he looks as if he were kneeling down in a playful position ...  in this way, I could also add an extra cute tail to the lion. 

To make the tail, I simply made a mini tassel. I wrapped it around the tip of a piece of twine. I was applying glue as I was doing this.

I cut the grass out of green cardstock and I used the Mini Flowers and Leaves die to create tiny florals out of red cardstock.

I used Folk Dance stencil, SSS Surf Blue Ink and a makeup brush to easily create a nice pattern on the front panel of the card base.

To finish, I also die cut a C6 white piece of cardstock using a large scallop oval die and I overlaid all the die cuts behind.

I embellish with Nuvo Aztec Gold Glitter accents and I heat emboss a tiny banner.  The sentiments are from Simple Sentiments and Beautiful Flowers stamp sets. 

The tag was made with the extra die cuts I got from die-cutting the pieces for the card. Easy and quick.
