Morning!
It’s my turn to set the challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog this week, and well… my inspiration came from a sudden yearning to get one of my favourite die sets out to use up a load of cardstock scraps.
I love the You’re My Type set from SugarPea Designs, I use it often for festive and non-festive cards alike. Sadly it appears to be discontinued, but typewriters are a constant trend in the crafting industry and someone is always coming up with a new product line featuring them.
So I challenged everyone to feature a typewriter or typewritten font on their card.
Here’s one of the cards I made in my craft session, featuring rainbow papers from Lawn Fawn:
Paper: Lawn Fawn – Really Rainbow
Stamps: Mama Elephant – Mini Everyday Messages, The Greetery – Sentiment Suite: Birthday
Dies: SugarPea Designs – You’re My Type (r), The Greetery – Sentiment Suite Basics, MFT – Tall Snow Globe (r)
I started out by assembling lots of typewriters cut from scraps of bright Color Crush cardstock from The Stamp Market. Adding a sentiment from Mama Elephant to the “paper” in the typewriter.
I find the Tall Snowglobe from MFT is a good companion to the typewriter set, so cut those elements from vellum and brown cardstock.
Then I added a smaller sentiment on a sentiment strip to complete the look, then assembled my cards with various papers from the Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow paper pad.
As a finishing touch, I added sequins and a little heart embellishment.
Make sure you check out the projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!
Happy crafting!
