Hello and welcome to STAMPtember! There’s a huge Blog Party happening today to celebrate the launch of STAMPtember, and everyone participating has a graphic for you to claim a free gift with purchase, or a free gift with a certain dollar amount, so join the scavenger hunt for all of the deals!
Over the last couple of months, I have created cards by taking the smallest die from a set and repeating the pattern. Today’s card is another example of this. While I love this new Mail Call set, I thought it would be cute to grid an envelope grid, so let’s go through the deets!
NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.
I began this project by die cutting the envelope several times from quite a few different colors of cardstock. I wasn’t sure how many I would need, so I just went ahead and cut a bunch. I then added these tiny heart stickers, which are from Doodlebug Designs, that I’ve had forever.
The background was created using the new A2 Postage Rectangles along with some black splatter. The sentiment was stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat set using clear embossing powder. I trimmed it out several times using the coordinating die to create that stacked sentiment that we all love.
I decided on the sentiment placement and adhered that with foam strips, while the envelopes were adhered with foam tape. A super simple card, but I love the way it turned out, and I’m so glad that I took the time to do all of the die cutting.
That does it for this project! Do you like creating grids or repeat patterns on cards? Don’t forget to check out the entire STAMPtember release over on Simon’s website, and stay tuned all month for those long awaited collaboration sets! Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!
