Starburst Framelits | The Maui Stamper

I haven’t made a pocket card for ages – good enough reason to make one today!

The Envelope Punch board makes a much more satisfying pocket – no fussing with adhering the sides, just a nice clean envelope! Cut off one side to create an opening for the card inside and assemble the rest as though you were assembling an ordinary envelope.

I used Park Lane DSP for the belly band and the strip across the top of the card, and that’s what drove the color palette. A little stamping, a couple of punched butterflies, and this one is ready for the mailbox!

Well, almost ready – I’m hooked on these Starburst framelits – they make such a great layer! The button and the Baker’s Twine will make this a little bumpy for USPS, but a little cushion – and an extra stamp – should make it all right.

Today is the last day for the Big Shot promotion, and the new Holiday catalog is in full swing! Enjoy your holiday weekend and don’t forget to do a little craftin’.

I earned a free stamp set at Convention 2014 and chose the Larger Than Life Numbers and Letters:

Stamps: Larger Than Life Letters and Numbers, Gorgeous Grunge
Color Palette: Island Indigo, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Typeset Specialty DSP, Honeycomb TIEF, Starburst Framelits, Island Indigo Chevron Ribbon, Handheld Stapler (Holiday 2014 Sneak Peak)

The honeycomb pattern is created by inking the raised side of the TIEF and pressing the paper into it – VERY easy with a big WOW factor. I added a little sploosh of Gorgeous Grunge on this one as I didn’t press as hard on the TIEF.

I’m a big fan of monograms, although I know they’re somewhat outdated. And boy oh boy, am I a fan of the new Handheld Stapler! It dispenses short little staples – oh so cute!

This is the same concept but without the Grungification…I like it grungified better.
