It's About Time!

Thanks for joining me today! I treated myself to a few goodies from The Stamp Market for Easter and I finally took some time to use them! I wasn't feeling particularly creative and the reason why I bought the supplies in the first place was because of the darling samples, so I just decided to CASE one of the samples! ha ha! I chose a different color combo for my card and got to work. That being said, once I made this card, the creative juices started flowing and I can't wait to use it again with some of the other sentiments for other types of occasions.

I'm an 80s gal so Swatch watches were all the rage so it was fun to create these paper versions. To begin, I used the Watch Band Dies and cut all of the bands from Berry Sorbet, Sweet Blush, White, and Enchanted Evening cardstock. I cut multiples so I would have both sides of the watch. There are two different sizes of circular watch faces and the square one.

Even though I'm not good at shaker cards, I felt confident I could make the shaker watch face, which is just so cute! Sometimes I have difficulty using acetate with dies, but I used the Clear Cardstock from Papertrey Ink and it worked great!

I used the Time To Say Stamp Set for the watch faces and the "it's your day" sentiment. There are quite a few other sentiments for different occasions, which I can't wait to use!

I used Antique Gold cardstock for the watch hands and the brackets at the top of the first watch. I was the manager of the watch department (among other departments) when I was first married, so this brought back fond memories of that time! (no pun intended)

I used silver glitter cardstock for the frames around the watch faces and glued them over the top using liquid glue. Each of the watch faces and bands are added to the card using foam squares. This will be a fun one to add to the stash! Thanks for fluttering by!
