triangles...

Hello there!  I got to make a card today... YAY!  Sometimes that is a hard thing to do in my house.  I have to craft in my kitchen which is connected to my family room.  Now that it is summer and both boys are home that means someone is playing a video game at some point during the day in the family room.  When that happens pretty much all desire to make something goes out the window.  I was determined to not let that bother me today and it worked!  It also helped that I had the idea as to what I wanted to make firmly planted in my little head, lol!  I have had the Altenew Trigonometry stamp set for ages and have only used the happy birthday sentiment in the set.  When I saw the color combo for this month's Altenew Inspiration challenge I immediately knew I wanted to make my card using the Trigonometry set to create a masculine birthday card.  The sketch from Freshly Made Sketches provided the layout and I was able to create my card!   I'm also going to add this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to use a die and/or punch.  I picked out three large images from the set that I wanted to use and stamped them in the blue, light blue and gray colors.  I used a small triangle image and a medium one and all three colors to stamp those as well.   All the images were die cut and then arranged on the cardstock panel so I could figure out where to stamp the sentiment.  I added a strip of silver glitter cardstock to one side.  Hopefully the guy who gets this won't mind that.   I adhered the cardstock panel and then all the triangles using various heights of foam dots.   Another clean and simple design... I seem to be on that kick lately.


Hope you have a wonderful day!

Supplies:  Cardstock:  MFT white, silver glitter; Stamps and dies:  Altenew; Inks:  Stampin Up! (light blue, blue and gray), VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne

  3. Cool, graphic and stylish, Rosemary ... I think with the silver glitter strip, it would do equally beautifully for a girl's card as well as a man's! Hugs, Anita :)
