Wonderful Creative Times Lie Ahead

January 10, 2021 Leave a Comment

OK so I’m now at that horrible point when I have new crafting products on the way, but they’re still in transit. I know I have lots of wonderful products already in my studio but like a small child I want my new toys now. It’s not that I don’t want to play with what I have but I can see so many possibilities that lie ahead. I love mixing old products with new ones and getting even more from them But I suppose I’ll just have to be patient a few more days.

So while I wait I decided to make a masculine / gender neutral card for today’s Simple Sunday project. This one’s really all about the large sentiment from the new Wonderful As You Stamp Set.

TEXTILE BACKGROUND

I began today’s project with the textile background from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack.

To create my card base I first used my Paper Trimmer to cut and score some Thick Very Vanilla Card. Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder.

Next I cut three pieces of the DSP. The first piece was 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) I fixed it to the front of my card base.

Then I cut a 2-1/4″ x 6″ piece and glued that to the flap of a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. Once attached, I trimmed off the excess paper with Paper Snips using the edge of the flap as a guide.

My final piece of DSP was cut 1″ x 4″ and I glued that along the bottom edge of a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla Card. Then with the DSP in place I fixed the layer inside the card base.

WONDERFUL AS YOU

All I had left to do now was create and attach the sentiment.

From the Wonderful As You Stamp Set I chose “May your comeback be bigger than your setback”. I thought this sentiment quite apt for so many people right now.

First, using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the sentiment onto a 1-1/2″ x 2-7/8″ piece of Very Vanilla Card. Then I mounted it onto a 1-5/8 x 3″ layer of Cinnamon Cider Card. Finally I attached the assembled piece to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and my project was complete.

The finished card is quite masculine / gender neutral but it would be simple to add some lace or other embellishments if you wanted. What do you think?
