Although the materials I used were different, I was inspired by the gold framing and making of gold papers in Sandy’s Day 3 class<\/a><\/span><\/span>, when I made the sides gold edged and the gold camera embossed background paper for this\u00a0card. \u00a0I used a die from the\u00a0Simon Says Stamp Stitched Squares Die Set<\/a><\/span><\/span> to cut out the centerpiece globe. I really like the clean, monochromatic but luxe look of this card, and given my niece’s sophisticated aesthetic, I am hopeful she will like it too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n The following is a process video of creating this card:<\/p>\n![\"20151003_155607\"](\"https:\/\/www.craftypaws.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20151003_155607.jpg\")
<\/a>I was so honored when Alice Ledezma, (YT: VintageGal18) the owner of HappyCreating<\/a><\/span><\/span>, asked me to be a designer for her Etsy store. \u00a0Then when I received the American Crafts Shimelle stamp set<\/a><\/span><\/span> that had a travel and photography theme, I thought what are the odds?! My niece is going to go study abroad and her favorite hobby is photography! I also used camera stamps from a Heidi Swapp stamp set (sorry I don’t know the name) and a Snap Studio stamp set called “Snapshots.” I knew I had to make a card for her with this set, and what better day to do that but on World Card Making Day?!<\/p>\n
