You will find the Follow Your Art Suite in the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog on page 52 with a stamp set, coordinating dies, matching designer series paper, plus accessories. What a perfect suite for all of us crafters of many kinds! You can also use the Crafting Forever Stamp Set from last year’s catalog that will work well with this new suite.
I was on a roll one day playing with this paper stamps, and dies. This is a square card, 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. It’s nice to make a card of another size after usually making the normal size. The card base is Basic Gray with a layer of Calypso Coral. The designer paper is a pattern in the Follow Your Art package.
I stamped the stack of ribbons in the It Starts With Art Stamp Set and colored in with Stampin’ Blends markers. Then I was able to die cut these with a die in the Arts & Crafts Dies. To help the ribbon piece stand out a little bit from the paper, I placed it over a large circle of Calypso Coral.
The greeting is in the stamp set and is punched with the Classic Label Punch. Then it is layered on a die-cut oval in the Stitched Shapes Dies. The ribbon adds a little extra embellishment. This Gold 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon is so useful on many cards. It is worth having in your stash!
If you want another idea for this suite, here is another card I made, A Card For Crafters. Sometimes it is fun to just work with one set of stamps, paper, and maybe dies and just see what all you come up with. Then be sure to mail some cards to your crafty friends!
