Hi crafty friends!
Crystal here again on this wonderful Saturday celebrating National Ballpoint Pen Day(I'm not kidding)! What better way to celebrate than making a card, writing something in it (with your ballpoint pen) and sending it out.
I chose to make a card without stamping! I can't believe that's allowed on a stamping site, yet it turned out pretty cute. For this, I am mixing some newer and older
Cutaways from
Winnie & Walter.
First I started by trimming a piece of patterned paper and adhered to the card base. Next, using Winnie & Walter's
Cover Model: Multifaceted Cutaway I die cut on white card stock using my Big Shot. I did not take out all the triangles, just the center ones. Carefully placing adhesive on the back of each triangle so they don't fall out when I mail this. Then adhering the die cut to the patterned paper.
To continue with the no stamping, I die cut vellum using "ticket" die from
Essentials: Lana Cutaways, and wrapped silver thread and white twine to it, then glued that to the base.
The "
congrats" is from the Spring release
In a Word: Congrats Cutaway using black card stock, and then placed on card base with 3D foam adhesive. Voila, the card is ready for some penmanship and be mailed out!
Don't forget about the ongoing giveaway! Comment on my corresponding
Winnie & Walter post on my blog for a chance to win a $30 gift certificate. There will be 4 posts for the month of June, giving you 4 entries to win.
Thanks so much for your time today!
Hope you have a great week!
Crystal
Such a pretty and fresh card! I love the no-stamping look. When you have such fabulous die-cuts, who needs stamping? :) Super-cute card with the clean colors and the wonderful way of using vellum and twine! Love the little leaves, too!!
