Blueprints 14 Archives - Shannon Kay Paperie

Hello there, Friends!

I’m popping in today to share my second project the other night, using up some random paper. See the yellow striped pattern paper? I built the whole card around using that piece! lol

I realized that the paper would work perfectly with the new MFT Stamps Blueprints 14 Die I just happened to also have out on my table. It’s the first time I’ve used these blueprints dies and they are SO fun!! Just pull up a layout and get crafting! You can see examples of the layouts you can use this die set to create here. (Sorry, I couldn’t get the file converted to a png.)

I paired up some fun colors to make a bright, cheerful card to celebrate friendship. And on the inside:

Cute, right? This stamp set just came in the mail that day and so was ALSO sitting on my work table. See what happens when things stay out? They get used!! Maybe I should pull ALL of my pretties out!! J/K, that would make me nuts!! Oh! Sorry, the stamp set is called Modern Mehndi by Lil’ Inker Designs and you will definitely be seeing more from that stamp set…I super love it!!

I don’t usually make odd shaped cards but JUST realized this die set is for a square card! That made me laugh at myself when I realized that…I guess I’ll be making more square cards in the future! I hope you are inspired by these blueprint dies, I was, and can’t wait to collect some more! Thanks for letting me share the results of my “clearing out and finishing up projects” mode!

And as you read this post, I am enjoying a day at the Scrapbook Expo in Anaheim, California!! I can’t wait to see what crafty goodies I can find!

Wishing you joy and blessings!

I know I’m a bit late with today’s post, but I haven’t been able to stamp for the past few days and this card has been percolating in my head since Wednesday night…it needed to get onto paper, lol!

The inspiration for this project was actually two challenges, the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge:

and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which this week is Things That Fly.

How fun is that?!? When I started through my stamps for something that flies, I came across this set, Special Delivery by Clearly Besotted Stamps, almost immediately and thought it was a cute variation on the theme, yes, it’s a bird, but it’s a stork, we don’t see that one everyday!!

I have oodles and oodles of paper, but finding the right one for this card was tough. My mind set was baby theme, but I tend to shy away from the typical blue and pink, I wanted something a bit different. I fell in love with this subtle pattern paper but had a devil of a time deciding which color to pair it with! I finally settled on Pistachio Pudding ink color and I think it works very well here.

I added in a bit of blue with my enamel dots and then was beyond tickled to find a pattern paper for my envelope liner that is JUST the right shade of blue to compliment the card and the dots…so fun!!

Thank you for stopping by today, I will be back tomorrow with a new challenge from The Paper Players!

Wishing you joy and blessings!
