This card was fun to make and even more fun to teach! It's cool seeing people's faces light up when they realize how easy something so complex-looking can be.
I've used the very fun Pinwheel Die on this project for a fresh look and paired the bright colours in Sunshine and Sprinkles with black to really make them pop!
The belly band slides off and the card opens like a box – a fun surprise for the recipient!
I love using double sided papers for projects like this. Not only do you have double the selection, but isn't it a nice touch to have prints linside the project as well? Just like a designer lined jacket.
On the belly bank I used the new Wishes Your Way stamp set, which pairs up so nicely with the pinwheel die. It's a long sentiment, perfect for across a card, but for this particular one, it was just too long.
So, one of the advantages of clear mount stamps is you can just cut the rubber! I know it sounds awful, but I cut the image in two pieces and placed them on the block how I wanted them spaced.
It's really not a big deal; you can just position them back as original for use later if you wish. I love the versatility of rubber stamping!
