Creative Inspiration
with a Colour CombinationHere's this month's colour combination. Use this as inspiration to create a card and make sure you come to our VIP Group and share what you make. There may be a gifty from me for you!  And here's the project it inspired:   Create a card perfect for a fellow crafter with the craft-themed images and dies found in the Crafting With You Bundle. The Take Your Pick Tool is invaluable for projects like this that need die cuts with small pieces to be assembled, or for adding die cut pieces as embellishments for your projects with precision.  A paper trimmer element was die cut
from Pebbled Path Cardstock with the die from the Crafting With You Dies. The sentiment, from the coordinating Crafting With You Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped on a strip of Basic White Cardstock using Pebbled Path Classic Stampin' Ink. The stamped strip was adhered to the paper trimmer die cut, and the blade die cut piece adhered to complete the trimmer cutting track. The scissor die was cut twice, once from Smoky Slate Cardstock and once from Basic Black Cardstock. The scissor handles
were removed from the black die cuts and adhered over the top of the Smoky Slate pieces. The two shears were combined and the circle representing the connecting tension screw added to create the finished scissor element, which was adhered to the bottom left corner of the sentiment strip. The whole trimmer element was adhered to a Basic White Cardstock layer using Stampin' dimensionals.
The small heart and star double dies in the Crafting With You Dies were used to create die cut shapes
from Lost Lagoon and Bubble Bath Cardstock. These were adhered randomly to the Basic White layer. Narrow strips of Bubble Bath Cardstock were added behind the Basic White layer at the top and bottom, and the finished panel adhered to a Lost Lagoon folded card base.  Shop my top product picks for this project: Don't forget you can bundle and save! Purchase the Crafting With You Bundle and save 10%.
