It’s time for another Stampin’ Up! Product of the Month. Meet the Notes of Spring Photopolymer Stamp Set. It features adorable springtime animals like a deer, bunny, and duck, plus some delicate river plants. And, It includes a few all-occasion sentiments to complete your handmade cards for birthdays, thank-yous, and more.
How do you get your hands on Stampin’ Up!’s Product of the Month? When your online shopping cart reaches $75 or more (before tax, shipping, and any redeemed rewards), you’ll be prompted to add the Product of the Month for just $5. Available while supplies last. Limit one per customer per month.
For today’s post, I designed this card in line with Stampin’ Up!’s March creative challenge (#CreativeChallengeSU): to create a clean and simple card. From their Facebook post, I learned that clean and simple isn’t necessarily plain and boring. It actually comes with three principles attached. A clean and simple card includes:
A lot of negative space
Cluster element
Texture
Measurements and Details
Thick Basic White cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Basic White cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4, embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder
Stylish Shapes Dies — circle cut with Basic White cardstock
Stamp the rabbit outline image with Gray Granite ink. Ink the solid rabbit image with Gray Granite and “stamp off” on a piece of scrap paper. Then, align the solid image within the border. This is called “two-step” stamping.
Color some grass with the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend.
Linen Thread
Moody Palette Glossy Dots
