It Starts With Art. It seems appropriate that I should start sharing projects from the new catalogue with It Starts With Art. Don’t get me wrong, I know I have shared a few new products with you already, but this is the main launch for me.

This is one of those Suites that I truly did not think I would like that much, but I do! It is amazing. The colours ‘pop’ and it has some really cute elements. I mean, that paperclip die, that actually works as a paperclip. I mean, WOW! But it also covers so many types of art and craft. so if you know other crafters, which I am sure you do, this is perfect for you.

My project today shows how great the Stamparatus is for mass production quickly. Take a look at the video for some time saving tips on the best way to do this. Trust me, it is so simple and so easy.

I did include some heat embossing, but if that is not a technique you are comfortable, you can simply replace the Basic Gray card for Whisper White and then stamp in Basic Gray instead. The only fiddly bit was dealing with all those mini dimensionals for the pens, so all in all, a reasonably simple, but stunning project.

For once I actually stamped inside the card. I added one of the die cuts (watch the video to see how amazing the ribbon die is. As I wanted to have two bottles of ink, I did some easy masking, which is also highlighted in the video.
