Let's dive into today's creative journey together!
Hello, friends! Justin here, and I am so excited to be sharing my very first project using the February 2025 release! I was immediately drawn to the new Waiting on Karma stamp set. There is something so initially soft and comforting about this stamp set, and then, upon closer review, you start to realize that these sentiments provide a punch of sass and snark that I will ALWAYS love being included in a craft product!
Below is a list of products that I used to create this card:
Waiting on Karma Stamp Set
Classic Hatch 6" x 8" Stencil
Beyond Basics: A2 Rectangles and Cover Plate Dies
Paper Glaze- Landscaping Sampler Set
In Wonderland Gem Mix
Paper Pouncers- Muted Pastels
Let's get into some crafting!
First, I took an A2 panel of alcohol-marker friendly paper, stamped the main image from the Waiting on Karma stamp set in the slight upper center of the card in black ink, and colored the image up with my Copic Markers. Once done, I used a piece of masking tape to mask the bottom edge of the shelf in the image, and blended the bottom using Paper Pouncers with Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink. Then, I sprayed some Pixie Spray on the back of the Classic Hatch Stencil, applied it to my panel, and applied a thin, yet solid, layer of the Daffodil Yellow Paper Glaze included in the Landscaping Paper Glaze Sampler Set below the masking tape. I also, very quickly, used my paper pouncer to pounce Squeezed Lemonade ink on the top portion of my card. I removed the stencil and quickly washed it in warm water. I also removed the masking tape from my panel, and set my panel aside to dry entirely.
Once my panel was dry, I grabbed the 4.125" x 5.375" rectangle die from the Beyond Basics: Rectangles and Cover Die Set to cut the panel down to size. This helped trim the edges of the panel cleanly as well. I used black ink to stamp the sentiment "I know being the bigger person is hard", and then embossed it in clear powder.
I adhered this panel to an A2-sized piece of orange cardstock, and then adhered the entire unit to an A2-sized card base. I finished off the card by adhering a few embellishments from the In Wonderland Gem Mix, and my card was completed!
