CAS cards with Kanban MacKenzie sentiments


Kanban MacKenzie and Kensington paper craft collections - foiled & die cut toppers with co-ordinating card.
Here are three cards that I made with sentiment toppers from the Kanban MacKenzie collection, rather more CAS (clean and simple) in style in contrast to all the bows and rosettes on the Cats and Quilts cards!

All are 6 x 6 cream cards, using a sentiment as the focal point, Bouquet Swirls peach printed background card (from the Floral Bloom collection), a band from a Kensington die cut topper sheet and a touch of bling.
The MacKenzie and Kensington die cut topper sheets that I used to make the cards are below:

Kanban Cats and Quilts and Kandi Core card

Kanban Cats and Quilts and Kandi Core paper craft collections - foiled & die cut toppers and versatile double sided card
I've been making a few cards recently from Kanban Cats and Quilts die cut toppers, perfect (or should that be purrfect...) for cat loving recipients!

The toppers co-ordinate really nicely with green and purple Kandi Core background card, which is a nice light weight for card covering and layering and works really well with punches and dies too.

As you can see, I went a bit wild with bows and rosettes, also made with Kandi Core card.

I've also used a few of the Kandi Core die cut and foiled Ornate Flourish mats, which are great for adding a bit of extra embellishment.

I used a Tonic punch on the card below - the Kandi Core card worked really nicely with it, as it is a great weight for  punching.
These are the two Cats and Quilts die cut topper sheets that I used to make the cards:
