Let’s take a closer look at the gratitude themed product collections we are featuring for today’s CreateAthon! Laurie Schmidlin has shared an amazing card to showcase her gratitude.
Just Sentiments: Grateful Heart Stamps
Inside Greetings: Gratitude Stamps
“Sometimes I struggle with adding sentiments to my projects. It’s easy to forget what an impact sentiments can have to a project. I tend to plan the images and then try to fit a sentiment in as an after thought. I have found it helpful to start creating around a sentiment. For this card, I started with the sentiment from the Inside Greetings: Gratitude set and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to design around it! After stamping that sentiment, I thought about pairing it with a die cut sentiment. From there I decided to add a coordinating sentiment (from the Just Sentiments: Grateful Heart set) stamped randomly on the background layer.”
