Today I am sharing my take on January’s SheetLoad of Cards sketch from Call Me Crafty Al for our creative team hop, and I am mixing it with my Fandom Friday series for a little extra fun. I used a space themed paper pad and matching stamp set to bring that futuristic amusement park vibe to life. Following the sketch, I cut my patterned papers using the two inch measurements so the angles would line up perfectly, keeping the pieces taped together while trimming for clean and even cuts. For the background, I stepped it up by foiling a star design onto cotton cardstock using a BetterPress plate and prism foil, which gave me a subtle shine with beautiful debossed detail.

Once the backgrounds were ready, I stamped and paper pieced my little astronaut mouse so it had that neon sign feel, then stamped and die cut a coordinating sentiment to match. I added dimension by embossing the foiled panels with a star embossing folder, layered everything onto white A2 card bases, and used a mix of liquid glue and foam adhesive to assemble the card fronts. After living with the card overnight, I decided to add a vellum oval behind the image and sentiment to help them stand out more from the busy background. A few shimmer star confetti pieces finished everything off and tied the design together from edge to edge.
