Got button? This week's Pals Paper Arts Clean and Simple challenge (PPA91) suggests you grab a button(s) and use it on a paper project. Easy. I'm also sharing a few sneak peeks of rubber stamps Sail Away, Best Dad Ever (sentiment) and new Baker's Twine in Cherry Cobbler. All three products will be available May 1 with the launch of the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog.
Check out the handmade card ideas by the PPA Design Team and play along!
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
- The sails and boat hull were stamped separately and paper snipped (love my Stampin' Up! Paper Snips for small details) and bumped up on Stampin' Dimensionals.
- This masculine card is destined for my father-in-law.
- Baker's Twine adds to the nautical feel. I used a Paper Piercer, the Stampin' Up! Mat Pack Piercing Template and needle to sew up this detail.
- I cropped the card base width to 4 1/8 (1/8" less than a standard A2 Card) so that I could hang the sentiment over the and it would still fit in a Stampin' Up! Whisper White Medium Envelope.
