Once again, I needed inspiration to create a post for my “Weekend Inspiration”. I dedcided to go through my Blog Gallery and found a card that inspired today’s card. You can see my inspiration card here.
Now that I had my design, I hadto decide how to use it. I went through my patterned paper and opted to go with the Full Of Life Designer Series Paper. Next was the pattern. If you’ve seen this Paper Pack, there are beautiful watercolor washed designs in all colorss. In past posts, I’ve showcased the color block patterns, but haven’t done anything with the watercolor patterns. As you can see, I went with one of the “full of color” watercolor patterns. I strategically cut ssquares from another sheet of the same paper emphasizing three of the colors. I enjoyed putting this quick and easy design together.
So you can create your own version of this card design, I made a new sketch you can follow. Have fun with it! All of the cutting dimensions are below.
Pieces And Parts
- I cut a Basic Black cardstock card base 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored it at 5 1/2″.
- The patterned paper card front layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
- Each of the Basic Black square mat layers is 1 3/8″.
- Each of the paterned paper squares is 1 1/4″.
- I used one of the sentiments from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. I was able to use the coordinating die to die cut the sentiment. Wanting to have the Basic Black mat layer on the sentiment, I used glue to attach the die cut sentiment to a piece of Basic Black cardstock and fussy cut it.
- The three squares and the sentiment are attached with glue.
- The inside writing layer is stamped with the large “Celebrate” stamp from the new Iconic Imagery Stamp Set.
Once you decide on which patterned paper, colors, and stamped or die cut elements to use, you can create this card in just a few minutes.
Do you have a stamp or die set with smaller images? Stamp, cut, and add your favorite patterned paper. It’ll be fun to see what you design. Most of all, have fun.
… the only limitation is your imagination!
