I wasn't expecting a Make It Monday this week and certainly not on a Wednesday....but there it was posted on Nichole's blog today! MIM #239: Customizing Patterned Paper is hosted by Lizzie and she shows us how to change pattern paper with stamps.
I wasn't sure which patterned paper to use and pulled this box pattern from Chocolate Remix. I stamped the star circles in Blueberry Sky and Pure Poppy inks. To the center of the stars, I added a smaller star in the opposite color ink.
Celebrate is die-cut 4 times in Pure Poppy cardstock, stacked and glued together. I wasn't sure I liked the red on red and die-cut the word again in Blueberry Sky cardstock, slightly overlapping it to show both colors. I placed the panel on a Pure Poppy cardstock card base, leaving 1/4" of the card base showing on the left hand side. I wrapped jute around the spine and rounded the corners.
This sure makes a nice masculine birthday card!

Wow - love this card, Lainey! Great idea to layer the Blueberry Sky "Celebrate" diecut over the Pure Poppy as it looks amazing. What a wonderful masculine card. I may have to CASE it ;-)

ReplyDeleteSo clever! And so cowboy western looking. Always looking for this style cuz I'm a country girl. You hit it out of the park! Love the red and blue celebrate too.
