Happy Monday to you! It’s Make it Mine Monday today! On these special Monday’s I will share with you a lovely card that I’ve seen somewhere and show you how I changed it up to make it my own. Sometimes I change just a little bit and sometimes I change a lot!
Today’s card is made with the Sale-a-bration stamp set Lovely Lattice that you can choose for FREE with a $50 purchase. We demonstrators have a Facebook Page where we can share ideas with each other and this is where I saw today’s lovely and simple card. Thank you Priscilla for sharing it.
I received this stamp set as a door prize at November’s On Stage event. I like coloring but I get a little overwhelmed when there is a lot of it like with this stamp set. I was pretty excited to see this simple card that Priscilla made with it and it gave me hope that the stamp set wouldn’t just sit on my shelf. Ha!
The first thing I changed when making this card my own was to change the card size. Priscilla used a Notecard for her design and the image and sentiment fit perfectly on it. Since I was designing cards for my next class I decided to go with a regular 5 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ card front size. I then heat embossed my image so that it would stand out a bit more.
Then, since I was using a larger size card I needed to add a few layers. I know…shocker! I can never have enough layers on my cards. The strip of Basic Black cardstock in the background is embossed with of the small embossing folders from the Petal Pair Embossing Folders set.
To really make my image pop I finished off the piece of Whisper White cardstock with the stamped image by punching the four corners with the Detailed Trio Punch. Ta-da! The Make it Mine project is complete!
See how easy it is to transform someone else’s idea to make it your own? My challenge to you is to give Make it Mine Monday a shot. Find an idea that you like and make it your own. Of course, I’d love if you’d share that idea with me. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
