Hello and welcome!
I’m SO glad you stopped by to see what crafty inspiration I have today! I’m up on the Heffy Doodle Blog with “Stretch Your Supplies” card series!!! It means that I’m focusing on how to get more from your craft supplies and think out of boxes, giving new life to your crafty stash! So let start!
Today I came up with an extended A2 size cheerful and super bright rainbow card made from just one small, but nor less adorable Just A Note Stamp Set! Actually I repeatedly stamp only the pencil illustration! This time the coordinating Just A Note Dies set came super useful and saved me a lot of time since I first quickly die cut all the pencil shapes, using leftover scraps of a white cardstock from previous projects, and then made all the stamping in no time with a stamping positioning tool, making the alignment just once with the negative part of the pencil die! I decided to keep the whole card clean and simple, focusing on colorful stamps, and just add a little interest to the layout with a faux stitched details and a bit of fun texture with some raised polka dots.

- Die cut a Stitched Rectangle slightly smaller than the card front.
- Partially die cut in the center of the stitched rectangle a Stitched Circle.
- Cut the straight bottom line by using a Paper Trimmer with Cut-Line or a Craft Knife.
- Tape Let’s Polka Stencil with a Heffy Memo Tape to the partially die cut circle to prevent any movement and apply a white embossing paste all across. Lift up the stencil and let the paste air dry.
- Heat emboss in white onto black the sentiment from Just A Note Stamp Set with VersaMark Clear Embossing Ink. Don’t forget to prep the cardstock with a Powder Tool Applicator to prevent the embossing powder to stick where you don’t want it!
- Arrange and glue in place all the elements, using Glubert – Craft Glue and a foam tape to add a bit of dimension.
