Hi everybody! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend and you’re doing something fun! I’m thrilled to be showcasing three more projects created with some of the amazing Paper Goods over at STAMPlorations! I absolutely love these products and I’m having the best time ever! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! For this STAMPlorations feature I have created three card projects using the Artsy Abstract A2 Quick Card Fronts available in the Paper Goods section of the store. These card fronts are so beautiful, and although I created all cards, these can be used to create just about any kind of paper project. My first project is a birthday tile card featuring the Artsy Abstract A2 Quick Card Fronts with several raised tiles and a die cut Skinny Sentiment.
I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel cut from CutCardStock Basis Magenta cardstock which I adhered to the card base. I cut the Artsy Abstract A2 Quick Card Front into 1″ squares and adhered them to the magenta cardstock panel, popping several of the squares up on 1-mm thick foam pads. Using the Skinny Sentiments die set, I cut the letters from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock and the background from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock, assembled the sentiment, and adhered it to the card panel. I added several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Brilliant Citrine Embellishment Mix to complete the front.
I embellished the inside panel with a strip of CutCardStock Basis Magenta cardstock and a leftover strip cut from the Artsy Abstract A2 Quick Card Front, stamped the sentiment in black ink from the Layered Vase stamp set, and layered the panel on the magenta cardstock.

My second project is a set of six 3.5″ x 5″ motivational notelets also featuring the Artsy Abstract A2 Quick Card Fronts with computer-generated vertical sentiments reading Encourage, Believe, Dream, Create, Inspire and Imagine. I cut the card bases from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Royal Sundance Linen Eclipse Black cardstock, and rounded the bottom right corner of each. I layered panels cut from the Artsy Abstract A2 Quick Card Fronts onto the black linen panels and adhered them to the front of the card bases. I cut black linen banners for each card, flagged one end with the square punch, and adhered one vertically to each card front. I printed the Encourage, Believe, Dream, Create, Inspire and Imagine sentiments on the computer, trimmed them and adhered one to each card front. I added black gemstones to complete the card fronts. I embellished the inside panels with leftover pieces of the Artsy Abstract A2 Quick Card Fronts and strips of CutCardStock Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock, and layered the panels on the black licorice cardstock. Since these are notelets, I left the inside of each of these blank to write a custom message.

And my final project for this feature is a set of three inspirational note cards also featuring the Artsy Abstract A2 Quick Card Fronts with negative-space cut-outs for the sentiments using the Beautiful, Charming and Fabulous Word Dies.
I cut the card bases from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Curious Metallic Night cardstock, CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock, CutCardStock Pop-Tone Tangy Orange cardstock. Using the Beautiful Word Die, Charming Word Die and Fabulous Word Die, I die cut the sentiments at an angle into the center of each Artsy Abstract A2 Quick Card Front panel and then adhered them to the layering panels. I embellished the card fronts with narrow layered strips cut from CutCardStock Basis Magenta cardstock, CutCardStock Curious Metallic Night cardstock, CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock, CutCardStock Pop-Tone Tangy Orange cardstock, and added the stamped and trimmed word You’re from the Layered Citrus stamp set. I added gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Morganite Muse Embellishment Mix, Trinity Stamps Aquamarine Ripple Embellishment Mix, Trinity Stamps Topaz Twinkle Embellishment Mix to complete the card fronts. I embellished the inside panel of each card with striped skinny washi tape and layered the panels on the same cardstock used on the front. As these are note cards, I left the inside of each one blank to write a custom message.
