Three CAS challenges today!
The inspiration for the treatment of the Michael's sentiment was inspired by this photo on my Inspiration Board on Pinterest:
Put it all together, and this is what I got! I used the new Papertrey set Super Stripes. The stripes are almost 7" long, so that you can stamp diagonally across the front of a 5.5x4.25 card. Here's the question, though - does anyone have an acrylic block that long? I don't - I just stamped away, with the 'tail' of the stamp hanging off the edge of the block. Actually, I suppose you could use a Cuttlebug B or C plate as a block - I'd love to hear if you have any other ideas!
I have a 5" x 7" acrylic block and another even bigger than that one. I've also seen long and narrow ones that might be 7 or 8 inches long. You can also use plastic packaging to mount clear stamps so that might work for your long stamps. I've used a Stampin' Up clear box in the past and it worked fine.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing b.d. card. I just ADORE your design! 7 Gypsies, Donna Salazar, Inkadinkadoo all make a 2x7 block. There is also one in Tim Holtz' block collection. Apple Pie is the only vendor I know who sells a 2x8 blocks. My preference is the thicker Inkadinkadoo block, of which I have two. Good luck finding a block to accomodate the PTI stamp. :)
ReplyDeleteWow. This graphic design is fantastic. Love the way you've played with the text. Really inspiring. Congrats on ALL your successes this week. Jenny
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Ardyth! I like your jumbled sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a long acrylic block, and it drives me crazy. Now that you've given me the idea, I'm going to try my Big Shot plate... :-)
Ardyth, this is total graphic yumminess!!! Loving it! So glad you played along with us in this week's CAS(E) this Sketch!
ReplyDeleteGraphic and so stunning Ardyth. Those stripes are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow again! The sentiment is absolutely clever. What a great way to "use up" space when something bold is needed for balance.
ReplyDeleteJust a suggestion for the block. Auto glass repair shops (like Speedy) can custom cut glass and round the edges. They usually have different thicknesses available as well.
FAB, FAB, FAB card Ardyth!!
ReplyDeletesuch a great contemporary looking card!
ReplyDeleteLove your C&S style Ardyth!
TFS~
LOVE your card!! Know what it reminds me of? Those TV shows or commercials that try to get you to concentrate on them by flashing scenes really quickly ... making your eye try to piece it all together. That's what your card does!
ReplyDeleteAnd I chuckle thinking about using my big shot plate to stamp with. It's all warped and cut. I don't know how that happens to me.
Love reading all the suggestions for your new long stamp! Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteYour card is fabulous as always, Ardyth! Love the colors and CAS design. The sentiment is awesome. Thanks for joining in the fun this week at CAS-ual Fridays!
