You’re So Square! | Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Good morning!

For this week’s Daring Cardmakers dare, Shabneez is challenging us to feature squares galore on our cards.

Card inspiration from Handmade by Natty featuring The Stamp Market Love and Thanks

Stamps: Flora & Fauna – Brush Birthday
Dies: The Stamp Market – Vintage Slides, The Stamp Market – Love and Thanks, Neat & Tangled – Scored Shapes (r)

Well, many squares I did make! With the aid of the smallest Vintage Slide die in the set from The Stamp Market.

In fact, if you’ve glanced down at the supplies list, you may be wondering where the Flora & Fauna Brush Birthday stamp set even comes into it…

Well each of those colours in the slides is a swatch created using the largest brush stroke stamp in this set. It fit the slide aperture perfectly and adds a little character to the swatches as some have dots of white were still visible. It was quite satisfying to stamp out all those happy colours.

This card was definitely a labour of love – it included some assembly line action to create all the slides and get them laid out on the pink card base. But it also involved a lot of passes of that Love & Thanks die through my big shot for each individual cardstock colour and of course a good time spent glueing down all the die cuts.

But those two elements and the rainbow colours make for such a striking look that all I needed to add were some scored hearts as a finishing touch.

Make sure you also check out the wonderful projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can.

Happy crafting!

About my project supply lists

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK. This means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund, which includes hosting this blog.
Please note that any products marked “(r)” are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.
Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
I also list the stores I regularly use and have affiliate links for here.
