Welcome back, Friends! I’m back today’ with a project featuring the new A7 Rectangles from Simon’s latest release, Friend Like You. This is a very large die set, however I only used one of the dies to create this panel. Small die cuts need some love too! I recently created a grid front card using the Delicate Wildflowers, and I pretty much used those same colors for this card. Let’s go ahead and run through the details!
NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.
I began this project by pulling out a bunch of colored scraps and die cutting the smallest rectangle from the A7 Rectangles set. I knew that I wanted to create a large panel, so it was quite a bit of die cutting! Once all of the cutting was complete, I placed foam strips on the back of all of the pieces.
I cut a panel and gold splattered it for a bit of added interest and then began adhering the strips in the pattern that you see. I was able to trim off the excess and use the pieces in other areas. The sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock and once from Neenah 110lb cardstock and adhered together. That was then glued to one of the rectangles and the panel was secured to the card base to finish up.
A super simple card for today, although time consuming. Sometimes I like the process of assembling something like this. This is just an idea to give your die sets another look at a different way tot use them. Thanks again for stopping by, and don’t forget to check out the entire Friend Like You release over on Simon’s website. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Talk about dedication! It sure paid off to die cut the smallest rectangle die and make such a pretty card. The colors of the papers and placement of the die cuts resulted in an impactful design.
