How about a game of noughts and crosses, or rather, hearts?
Last month, we were finally able to throw a surprise birthday party for my Dad's 80th which didn't happen last year because of the enforced C19 lockdowns. Dad received a lot of greeting cards, and I noticed that all are oversized - well, they are very much bigger than the size I make my handmade cards in. So I was inspired to make an oversized card. The finished size of this card is 6"x6". I know if you are mailing the cards, it increases the postage stamp cost, so if you are on a strict budget, probably best to keep these bigger cards for people you will be handing the cards to in person.
I believe the Give It A Whirl Dies, with 21 dies in the set, is currently the most popular SU dies in our Annual Catalogue. It has lots of useful shapes that are handy for projects for any occasion. Definitely a recommended set of dies to have in a crafter's collection.
Thank you for stopping by today - I hope you are inspired to make a square 6"x6" card such as this one.
Why Monochromatic Monday?
Did you know Stampin' Up! offers at least 50 colours for all your
creative work? All with coordinating card stock, ink pads and markers,
and some/most with Stampin' Blends, ribbons and embellishments. Take a
look at the range of colours!
In 2022, my personal challenge is to feature one colour each week on Monochromatic Monday.
I hope you will join me too, and use the #monochromaticmondaycard hashtag too.
Did you know Stampin' Up! has a Color Coach Chart? That is very helpful indeed when you are wondering what colours to use with what. Here is a chart for Balmy Blue when you want to shop for other colours to go with your favourite Balmy Blue.
As always, if you have any questions, I am happy to help you.
Until next post, have fun stamping!
