Welcome to our Creativity Abounds Design Team July Blog Hop! We’re a group of Stampin’ Up Demonstrators from across the world that create two projects a month with the goal of inspiring you to make cards.
Here is our incredible team…
This month the Creativity Abounds Design Team created cards with the theme of Masculine Cards. We selected different stamp sets and products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog to design Masculine Cards.
My son just earned his Ph.D. in Astrophysics from the University of California, Santa Barbara. So there was no doubt that I needed to own the Stargazing Suite in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. The suite contains the Reach for the Stars Bundle, Stargazing Designer Series paper, and some awesome Holographic Trio Specialty papers.
Here is the front of my Easel Card:
To Make My Card:
- Cut a 4 1/4″ x 11″ (10.5 cm x 29.7 cm) pieces of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and score it at 2 3/4″ (7.5 cm) and 5 1/2″ (14.9 cm). Use a bone folder to make crisp folds along the score lines.
- Cut a 3 3/4″ x 5″ (9.5 cm x 13.9 cm) pieces of Stargazing Designer Series paper and attach it to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ (10 cm x 14.4 cm) piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock using your favorite adhesive.
- Stamp the “Reach for the Stars” sentiment from the Reach for the Stars Stamp Set onto the Stargazing Designer Series paper using Blackberry Bliss ink.
- Stamp the spaceship image from the Reach for the Stars Stamp set onto Basic White cardstock using Black ink.
- Use the spaceship die and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut out the stamped spaceship image.
- Use the flame die and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut the flames out of Real Red cardstock.
- Attach the spaceship and the Real Red flames to the front of the Stargazing Designer Series paper using dimensionals.
- Use the oval die and the stars die with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut out the pieces using the silver Holographic Specialty paper.
- Attach the silver oval to the planet on the Stargazing Designer Series paper using dimensionals.
- Attach the decorated 4″ x 5 1/4″ (10 cm x 14.4 cm) pieces of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to the lower flap of the card base to make the Easel Card.
- Cut a 4″ x 5 1/4″ (10 cm x 14.4 cm) piece of Basic White cardstock and attach it to the inside of the cards using your favorite adhesive.
- Stamp the “If I Had A Star For Every Time You Brightened My day I’d Have An Entire Galaxy” sentiment onto a 1 1/2″ x 3″ (3.5 cm x 7 cm) piece of Crushed Curry cardstock using Blackberry Bliss ink.
- Attach the sentiment to the Basic White cardstock using dimensionals.
- Attach two large silver stars to the sentiment.
