Have you seen all of the bold geometric designs out there in the fashion and interior decorating world? Hexagons, chevrons, triangles and circles are popping up everywhere! The new Geometrical stamp set is just one example of how Stampin' Up! is keeping up with the trend!
OK, I have to admit that I wasn't completely sold on the Geometrical set at first, but after playing with it at our Leadership conference, I'm realizing just how fun of a set it is, especially for masculine cards! And, we're always looking for new and different masculine options, right?!
Inspired by Justin Krieger at JK Cards.
We'll be creating today's featured cards at my "Last Thursdays" class tonight. I love that the design features striking colors and elements from Geometrical to give it a festive, yet masculine, feel. Ladies—don't be scared to use bright colors—guys like more than just browns, blues and grays!
Card Base—The Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper coordinates perfectly with the images from the Geometrical set, so I used that as my color guide. The background piece is 2" x 5-1/2" and is matted on a piece of 2-1/4" x 5-1/2" Basic Black card stock. I adhered it to a Smoky Slate card base.
Sentiment Circle—The cheerful sentiment is stamped in Bermuda Bay ink, then die-cut with the Circle Collection Framelits. I used the Chevron Border Punch to create Basic Black chevron accents that I adhered with SNAIL under the greeting. I love that the "hooray for today" phrase could be used for birthdays, a special day, or just the everyday!
Focal Point Accents—I added a short piece of the 1-1/4" Black Chevron Ribbon for a little texture. A few randomly placed Rhinestone Jewels almost look like bubbles floating around the words.
Triangles—Of course my favorite embellishments are the trio of triangles that match the Kaleidoscope DSP. I stamped the three images in Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry and Bermuda Bay, then punched them with the Triangle Punch and popped them up with Dimensionals.
Bundle It & Save—Purchase the Geometrical stamp set and Triangle Punch together in the Geometrical Bundle and save 15%.
I was having fun playing around, repositioning the triangles! So many options for pointing them up or down, or grouping them in an overlapping collage or in a line. Fun, fun, fun!
