Hello everyone! Erum here with a CAS encouragement card featuring Brush Alpha Die Set, Best Dad and Be Strong Stamp Sets.
I will be using January Inspiration Challenge colour palette for my card today. With the intention, that some of you might like non-floral inspiration I came up with this. As you can see, I literally copied the colour bands!
While Altenew has a wide range of encouragement sentiments, I wanted to make one of my own. A sentiment that would cover the whole card front. I started by masking my panel and creating a very simple inked background in stripes using Orange Cream, Maple Yellow and Pinkalicious.
Next, I cut the panel to 3.5×6 inches (since my card size is 4.5×6 inches). Then, I glued it on a white mat which was slightly wider than my stripes panel.
Second, then I stamped my sentiment, from Be Strong Stamp Set, onto a strip of white cardstock. With this in mind that my Brush Alpha sentiment needs to fit, I placed this strip as close to the lower edge as possible.
Third step, arranging the die cut alphas and forming the sentiment “You can do it”. I glued these down with glossy accents.
Lastly, I popped my dumbell from Best Dad Stamp Set on to the striped panel. Then I popped the whole thing onto a card base.
As you can see, this Brush Alpha die set has thin letters. Therefore, you can form small sentences like the one I used or “How are you”, “Miss You”, “Get well soon” etc.
That is all from my side. See you soon.

Erum, I love large sentiments. This is fabulous though against the colourful striped background of this card. I need to invest in the stamp set with the dumb bells, great for dads, boyfriends and sons too. :O)
That is the Best Dad Stamp Set, it has some really cool elements that would work for dads, sons etc. Thank you for stopping by!

YAY! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
I like this card. Change the colours and it could be for my son.
You are absolutely correct! You can make one in rainbow colours as well or an ombre one. There are SO many possibilities.
Love this gorgeous CAS card Erum! Beautifully done!
