Inspiration: Try Stampin’ on Tuesday #556
My favorite suite from the mini catalogue is the Hey Sports Fan collection. I like the vintage feel and masculine vibe. It took me a while to place an order from the mini catalogue and I'm just getting around to finally making a project using the products from this suite (a month before the mini catalogue will retire, but that's okay - this purchase was more about beefing up my options for masculine cards).
I drew inspiration from the Try Stampin' on Tuesday. The three squares became the tickets and banner, and the little circles became the #1 circle and resin stars. The three strips at the bottom were recreated using this little ticket strip from the die set (my favorite!). I used three cardstock colours and stamped the stars and splatter images from the stamp set to make them more interesting.
For the background, I picked the nice striped paper and I decided to use the Shifter Star stencil I had sitting on my desk. I used Poppy Parade ink first, shifted the stencil and used Night of Navy the second time. The blender brushes gave this soft airbrushed look that pairs with the vintage papers very nicely.
I stamped the banner in Night of Navy ink and the sentiment ("Best dad ever") in VersaMark, then embossed it with Pewter powder (my favorite metallic colour - still sad Stampin' Up! retired it). I die-cut it with the matching die, and I used champagne glimmer paper for the overlapping part on the left side. I used the three colours of baker's twine from the suite to tie a bow at the bottom. I repeated the banner on a Very Vanilla medium envelope to finish the set.
This was surprisingly simple to put together, but I like the result.
