Hi, friends! I’m Lauren from Lauren Taylor Made and I’m very excited to share my first project being a part of the Cardstock Warehouse Design Team! I recently taught my daughter how to play “slug bug” and we love when we see a Volkswagen Bus. When I saw the adorable Flower Power dies from A Pocket Full of Happiness, I knew I wanted to make a multi-colored bus and the beautiful Woodstock Cardstock Collection was perfect!
Supplies:
-
Cardstock Warehouse cardstock paper:
- Woodstock Collection 105 lb: Rosa, Rosso, Arancio, Giallo, Verde, Blu Intenso
- White Lessebo 83 lb.
-
Adhesives:
- Liquid Glue
- Foam Tape
- Tape Runner
- Craft Supplies:
- A Pocket Full Of Happiness - Flower Power Sentiments Dies
- A Pocket Full Of Happiness - Hippie Bus Dies
- Spellbinders - Two Way Heart Stencils
- Ranger Ink - Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide Ink Pad
- Dr. Ph. Martin's - Bleedproof White Fine Art Paint
Once I narrowed down which colors I wanted to use from the Woodstock Cardstock Collection, I cut the “Love” sentiment and Hippie Bus dies from the Woodstock colors, and the shadow pieces from White Lessebo. I adhered the pieces and sentiment together with liquid adhesive onto the shadow pieces. I love how the white helps the colors really stand out!
I trimmed down a piece of Rosa to 4x5-¼” and stenciled on hearts with Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide. I also splattered on white paint and set it aside to dry. I cut and scored an A2 card base and used a tape runner to adhere the stenciled background to the card base. I used foam adhesive to attach the die cut sentiment and image to the card.
I love how colorful this Valentine turned out and that I can make many more with my extra die cuts. The Woodstock collection’s beautiful colors and environmentally conscious papermaking process using 80% recycled content and 20% sustainably cultivated pulp not only make beautiful cards, but you feel good using it, too!
