Hi
Stampers!
I finally had a
chance to take a break from work and organizing my craft room to create a Clean
and Simple (CAS) card using the PPA153 Pals Paper Arts Sketch and the colors
from this week’s CCMC240 Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.
Again, I hope you
will take the time to visit the challenge sites – I cannot say it often enough
how great their Design Team samples are, not to mention the dozens of entries
submitted each week!
This card was very
quick to create! Instead of pulling out the actual stamp set and ink pads, I decided to use My
Digital Studio (did you notice that the
bike is going in the opposite direction?).
I love using the digital program and “mirroring” the image for a
different look- plus you can create multiple cards very quickly.
To create this CAS card:
Using My Digital
Studio (MDS), position the cycle image from the stamp brush set, Feeling Sentiment, reduce to size and “mirror”
the image. Copy and change the opacity
on the second image to 60% and position to give the impression of motion. Position the sentiment on the same page below the
image and print out onto Whisper White cardstock.
Use the Big Shot™
with the Chevron Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece
of Whisper White cardstock. Trim this
piece to size for the horizontal panel in the sketch. Also emboss a piece of Basic Gray using the Fancy
Fan Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder for the background panel.
Layer the
horizontal strip onto Melon Mambo cardstock and again onto Daffodil Delight (**Tip**-
I use small strips of scraps for this type of layer versus a whole piece of
cardstock- saves the cardstock plus reduces the weight of the card for
mailing:-)).
Create the banner
for the sentiment using the 1” Square Punch on an angle to create the banner
tips. Layer onto a scrap piece of Melon
Mambo and use the punch to mirror the banner tips and repeat with the Daffodil
Delight cardstock.
Add the horizontal
panel to the Basic Gray embossed background, carefully "fussy cut" around the cycle image and adhere the cycle along with the sentiment banner using
Stampin’ Dimensionals. Attach the ½” Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Triple
Bow with Mini Glue Dots to finish off the card.
Stamp Sets: MDS Stamp Brush Set- Feeling Sentimental
Cardstock: Whisper
White, Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo
Ink: Printer Ink
Accessories: Big Shot™, Herringbone and Fancy Fan Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder, 1” Square Punch (for banners), ½’ Daffodil
Delight Seam Binding Ribbon
Even though this
card has a bow with pink and yellow- do you think this would qualify as a masculine
card? Don’t real men love pink :-) ?
Thanks again for stopping
by-I plan on working on my February Christmas Card Challenges next :-)-not too many days left in February :-) Have a great week!
