Follow Your Art Card

Craft with Beth: Stampin' Up! Card Follow Your Art Stamp Set Arts and Crafts Dies Bundle Encouragement You are amazing I believe in you creative creativity

Today's card features the new It Starts with Art Bundle (Item #151090) - a stamp set and die bundle filled with stamping supply images and die cuts. There are stamps and dies in the shapes of ink refill bottles, markers, Stampin' Blends, buttons, a binder clip, ribbons, a ribbon spool, a bobbin, and even a darling paper clip!

I love being surrounded by and creating with my stamps, inks, papers, embellishments, and dies! I love the colors, the textures, and the patterns! What is better than creating with stamps and dies that look like real stamping supplies!?!

The Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper mat is first cut in one piece. Then it is put back in the paper trimmer with the shorter side along the bottom edge of the trimmer and 3/4" is cut off of the bottom of the longer side. The two pieces should measure 3/4" by 4-1/2" and 2-1/4" by 4-1/2". That way the patterned paper looks like one continuous design and your eye is not interrupted.

I used Mini Dimensionals and regularly-sized Dimensionals on the back of the spool of ribbon die cut. The heart-shaped ribbon portion of the die cut is too small for regularly-sized Dimensionals, so I used Mini Dimensionals on that area. However, the Foam Adhesive Strips (Item #141825) would also work well here. If you are using Foam Adhesive Strips, just be sure to use them all over the back of the die cut to avoid ripples on the top of the die cut because Foam Adhesive Strips are slightly taller than Dimensionals.

I used the stamp with the three sequins to decorate the inside of the card. I rotated the stamp several times while stamping across the cardstock to make the sequins appear more randomly scattered than planned.

I designed this card to be an encouragement card. There are times when we get into a creative slump, especially after a large or longer project or event. It can be difficult to work through. Sometimes we need a little encouragement to rest and refresh our creative spirits and to remind ourselves that we have limitless creative potential that is worthy of sharing.

You can find the measurements and a supply list for this project at the end of the post.

I hope you enjoyed this project! Please leave a comment below (click on the pencil icon)! I would love to hear from you!

Thanks for stopping by!

June's Paper Pumpkin Kit is Here!

Craft with Beth: Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Project Kit June 2019 A Little Kindness Banner Graphic

My June Paper Pumpkin Kit arrived in the mail late yesterday. I was super curious to see how the mini cards worked that I didn't put down the rest of my mail before I cut open the box! The idea of giving out cards of gratitude and appreciation for people we interact with is a fabulous idea!

Craft with Beth: Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Project Kit June 2019 A Little Kindness Kit Projects

I am thrilled with the beach themed kit! The ocean wave and sand patterned papers are beautiful! The layout of the cards highlights both the patterned papers and the stamped images!

The mini cards are awesome! They are just the right size for leaving a special thank you to someone that
  • has been kind to you, 
  • has provided excellent customer service to you, 
  • or even as a tip envelope for a cruise, a hair stylist, a food server, a postal worker, or a contractor.
These mini cards could also be used
  • to brighten someone's day,
  • as a lunch box card,
  • a thank you note to a teacher,
  • attached to a thank you gift,
  • attached to a box of baked goods or cookies for a new neighbor, and more!

I am going to keep a few of these cards in my purse for those unexpected moments ready for giving! There are so many ways we can show our appreciation to others! Who will you give your cards to?

I am also happy to see that the stamp set has a good mix of greeting stamps and images stamps. My favorite greeting stamp is "My day is better because of you!" This kit reinforces how we are all interconnected and are part of a larger community. I love it!
