I’m excited to bring you another installment of Design Infused today!! (formerly Design Inspired, my apologies for the confusion - everything should stay put from now on, lol) In the series I’m aiming to translate my latest design inspirations into projects using the supplies I have on hand. I hope today proves fun 🙂

As soon as I saw the latest Waltzingmouse stamp release (and later on, Claire’s genius of a project), I knew that I will be making my own dream catcher myself. In a card form… Upon a quick Google search, I stumbled upon this gorgeous stationery card which has the truly swoon-worthy colour combination and the mojo kicked right in.

Now, Claire offers digital cut files to make your own dream catcher & which coordinate beautifully with the newly released Fine Feathers and Funky Feathers stamp sets, but I wanted to see if I can make something with the dies in my stash. It figures that I can as well 🙂

I designed two cards, with the colours mirrored since I couldn’t settle down for either alone. I also made the coordinating envies with inserts (this time I did use a Silhouette cut file for this purpose). The cards combine stamping (with Funky Feathers) and die cutting, and for the latter I put to work my MFT and PTI dies. I even played clever clogs, and utilized the circles leftover from cutting the PTI Clock Face die, as pieces of my dream catcher. LOL

The cardstock that I used, has a fantastic honeycomb texture. It’s a piece of my big haul from Doggett (a local paper manufacturer) from a little while ago and I will be using it a lot on my upcoming stationery designs. I wish I could capture this texture, but I’m still learning my new camera and some things still come hard… 🙂
I hope you liked it, see you again soon enough, for another Design Infused project!
