Creative Inspiration with a Colour Combination

Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

All the detailed die cuts you can make with the Just a Note Bundle make fun stationery-themed projects easy. 
 

Two note paper elements were cut from Basic White Cardstock using the die from the Just a Note Dies. One was stamped with the lines image from the coordinating Just a Note Cling Stamp Set, using Smoky Slate Classic Stampin' Ink. The sentiment, from the same stamp set, was stamped on the other die cut, again using Smoky Slate, and this second die cut adhered on top of the first at an angle.

Using the dies from the same set, a paperclip and heart clip were cut from Berry Burst Cardstock. A star and two arrows were cut from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock. The die cuts were added to the layered note paper element as shown.

A piece of Azure Afternoon Cardstock was embossed using the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder, and trimmed to measure 4" x 5¼". This was adhered directly to an Azure Afternoon folded card base. The completed note paper element was added to the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals™.
