Today on the Your Next Stamp blog you’ll find this cheery card and the products used to make it. You can find that here
I used the So Many Stars Stencil from YNS for the background and ink blended a rainbow with Concord and 9th Inks. The Pick Me Up stamp set is small but mighty and I used it and the coordinating dies as the focal point for this top folding A2 card – the stencil, stamp & dies are still available at the time of posting this.
I used the inks as my paint and lightly painted in each of the balloons. The letters were stamped in the coordinating colours and cut out with the die. The sentiment is stamped in Versafine and the whole front is matted on a black mat and placed on a white card base. I used the Waffleflower Fancy Dies for the panel and mat.
Crafty Tip: I save my cut offs and opps pieces of white card stock and use them for building dimension. The main image has 3 extra layers underneath it for dimension. I like this method as it really adds stability to an image that has fine cut outs like these balloon strings. It also keeps it from bending during mailing.
Happy Crafting!
