This new stamp set and designer paper will definitely help you make a card for crafters! And not just stampers! You can make a card with these supplies that would suit other crafts besides stamping. Have fun making cards for all your crafty friends!
This card uses items in the Follow Your Art Suite in the new Stampin’ Up! catalog on pages 52-54. The card base is Calypso Coral, but there are many coordinating colors to use with the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper. I first thought I would use the full sheet of designer paper on the front of this card, then changed my mind and thought I would cut it and flip the paper to the other side for the bottom portion of the card layer. Then I changed my mind and decided to only use a portion of the designer paper on the front of the card! You’re allowed to change your mind in papercrafting!
Since the bottom part of the card then looked plain, I chose to stamp some tiny images at the bottom from the It Starts With Art Stamp Set. I think it coordinates nicely with the designer paper.
The ribbon used on the card is the 3/8″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon in Crushed Curry. It’s a great, fun ribbon to use with this suite. I wrapped the ribbon around the bottom edge of the designer paper, but tied the bow separately and adhered it to the ribbon with a Mini Glue Dot.
The greeting at the bottom is made with the stamped design on Whisper White Cardstock with Calypso Coral Ink and die cut with the Arts & Crafts Dies. Then the greeting was stamped on Calypso Coral Cardstock with Calypso Coral Ink and punched with the Classic Label Punch. The greeting is then popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tried various things but I liked this combination the best! Sometimes you have to just play until you get what feels right!
If you like this stamp set, there is another similar one from last year’s catalog that carried over called Crafting Forever. This stamp set has some great sayings in it plus other craft supply images. Use both sets together!
REMEMBER……Today is the day to buy an important craft supply if you have the Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer…..the Cutting Blades # 126995 will be available at 10:00 am Mountain Time! That is 11:00 am Central Time, Noon Eastern Time, and 9:00 am Pacific Time!. I suggest ordering as close to your time as possible just in case! Maybe the supply will last a few hours or days, but who knows! If you need blades, this is your chance! There is a limit of 3 packages. If they are sold out, you will get an error message that they are discontinued. More will be on the way so don’t despair!
With the Follow Your Art Suite in the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog you can make lots of fun cards for your crafty friends or anyone!
