Enjoy the Little Things

Howdy, peeps! Happy Happy Friday to you all! I have another amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you created with the awesome January 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I totally love geometric type patterned papers and those in this month’s kit are just awesome. I created a faux shutter card using a couple coordinating prints which I embellished with a chipboard accent piece from the upgrades. I’ve created a couple interactive shutter cards over the past few months and when I saw this faux shutter card on Pinterest, I wanted to give it a go. It’s also called a fractured card but I think I prefer faux shutter. Next one I make will have a smaller shutter area, but talk about easy-peasy!

I cut the card base from Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with a layering panel and strips for the shutter design from coordinating papers in the collection. I adhered a chipboard accent from the upgrades to the center of the faux shutter area and added several Keep It Simple Back To Basics Rose Enamel Dots.

I embellished the inside panel with patterned paper and cardstock strips used on the front and added sentiment and lady bug stickers from the sticker sheet.

Howdy, friends! I hope you are having a most excellent week and you’re having some amazing weather where you are! Our weather here in southwestern Colorado is absolutely gorgeous and I have no complaints! I’ve popped in this morning with a Prickley Pear Stamps sample to share that I created with the new Chicken Wire Background stamp! Just as I did a couple weeks ago with the Woodgrain Background stamp, I created a card that’s not chicken-related to show how versatile this background stamp is as well! I used several Spellbinders Beauty Is Everywhere Die Cut Shapes along with a few Darice white flat-back pearls to make this background come to life!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding landscape card base from 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from Stampin’ Up Watermelon Wonder cardstock, GKD Charcoal Brown cardstock and 80# Solar White cardstock. I cut the white layering panel with a My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics die and then stamped the chicken wire background in Catherine Pooler Do-Si-Do ink. I stamped the chicken wire background again in Versamark over top of the pink ink and heat embossed it with Hero Arts Sparkle embossing powder. I adhered all the panels to the card base and then adhered the die cuts. The finishing touch was adding a few white flat-back pearls.

And one more look… I’m totally smitten with this card! I love the versatility of this chicken wire background stamp!
