Follow Your Art Rainbow Paper Clips

Hello and welcome again to my blog; my second post today is for Kylie's International Blog Highlights.  There are projects from all over the world that have been submitted.  You can vote for my card here.  If I am one of the top 10 winners I get to take part in her International blog hop again this month.  For my card I used the It Starts with Art Stamp set to create this super fun clean and simple Encouragement card.  Here's a look at my card.

Tips & Tricks: 

I started out by picking one of the images I thought was under used.  I went with the Paper Clip/Binder clip image and stamped it using my Stamparatus with the hinge step technique.  I stamped five of them on a strip of whisper white cardstock (1 1/2 x 5 1/4) so that I could use my Many Marvelous Markers to color them in.   Also lately a little under used.  I colored each one in matching colors in the designer series paper.  I used Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Coastal Cabana, and Pacific Point plus a little Basic Gray for the metal.  Since I was stamping them on such a small piece of paper and the images where so small I really didn't need to blend them.  I added that to a piece of Coastal Cabana Cardstock (1 3/4 x 5 1/4).  

My card base was a piece of Pacific Point cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.  To the front of the card base I added a piece of the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper cut at 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped my sentiment at the bottom right corner.  Above that I added my colored paper clips mounted on the coastal cabana cardstock with Stampin' Dimensionals.  You can see how using the Stamparatus to stamp them I have perfect placement and spacing.  

To finish off my card I added a few rhinestones to add just the right amount of sparkle.  That's my card for today.  If you are in the United States please consider shopping with me online.  You will find a full shopping list below.  Remember to also vote for my card during the voting period and visit the link above and check out all the great projects that were created.

Follow Your Art Suite Day 7 OnStage Sneak Peek Week

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a really fun card that we made last weekend at OnStage Charlotte using the Follow Your Art Suite in the upcoming 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  This catalog will release to customers in June.  I just wanted to share with you a little sneak peek at the make & takes that we made during the week. 
This suite of products where designed with crafters in mind.  You have such fun images both in the stamp set and the designer series paper.  We used both on this make and take.  We will take a little closer look at some of the products a little further down in this post. 

In the stamp set you have this wonderful stack of ribbon that has this wonderful ribbon heart coming off one spool.  This is such a great image to show how much you love crafting.   The images also have a lot of different craft tools in it that you create customized cards for any crafter.  The image below will give you a little look at what's in the suite.  There are some fun products inside.  

You can see how using these products can lead to creating a wonderful card.  Or if you wanted to create a bunch of cards you could use the embellishment kit along with a set of note cards and stamp the sentiment and use the embellishments alone on the cards.  Place them back in the box and you have a great gift to give.  But that's a post for another time; I guess we need to be talking about the make & take I did right.  

You all know if you follow me that I do love stamping the background of the card base sometimes and when we did this at OnStage it just made my heart sing.  I can't wait to play with this suite a little more.  Remember that these products I've been showing you this week are not available yet.  As a customer you want be able to get them until June; but if you join my Kinsmon Crafter Family you can preorder select products in May from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  If you are interested in doing so you can contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions or you can simply click here on the FAQ page on my website.  

Thanks for dropping by today, I hope that you have a Happy Easter Holiday and I hope that you have enjoyed my little sneak peek of the make & takes we made at OnStage over the last weekend.  

Happy Stampin'
