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!
