As you may have read Mandy is super busy with her new job, and asked myself and a few of her other scrappy friends to take over her blog until she can get back to being crafty.
Today is Pink by design - design team submission day. Yippee! Part of the challenge was to use this fabulous paper Sarah had 3m sent to everyone on the design team call Post-it Craft. The entire back side of this paper is similar to what is on the 'sticky' part a post it note. I am loving using this in the Cricut!!! It cuts perfectly.
This is going to be post that is heavy on pictures...and light on words. I don't have the same 'way with words' that Mandy does.
Here you can see the back side of 3m's new Post-it Craft paper:
I am a huge fan of Cricut Design Studio. I get all my cuts arranged on the screen, lay my papers down to match, and one run through the cricut...and I am done. (the orange colored paper is the front side of the post-it paper)
I cut this shape from Storybook cartridge at 4 inches.
Peeled up the paper off the adhesive backing..
I decided to use this cut as a mask. You can see in the picture below I put the mask on top of the red cardstock and sprayed it with black Maya Mist from Maya Road. Once it was dry I peeled up the mask leaving the beautiful design you will see on the card below.
Here is the finished card. It is a 'tall' card measuring 9"x4", and will fit in a letter size envelope. I used the stamp "Well behaved women rarely make history" stamp from the Pink by design Shop-a-holic set. Such a fun girlie set!!!
Accessories used -
Satin ribbon, tulle, bling, black & pearl glimmer mists, Swiss dots CB folder.
