Creative Construction with Blueprints: Mix it Up

We love Blueprints because they take the guesswork out of crafting beautiful cards (and tags!) in quick fashion when we’re short on time or inspiration. We also love them for their versatility and ability to be mixed and matched when we have the time and inspiration to create something truly unique. Our Creative Construction Challenge focuses on these attributes each month, challenging the team to either assemble a card based on one of the provided Blueprints sketches or design an original design combining elements from the featured Blueprints.

This month, join us as our team explores inventive ways of combining elements from a variety of Blueprints into one beautifully put together look. You can go clean and simple with your design or really step it up with an assortment of die cut details.

Our various Blueprints die sets have so many elements that can work together on a card design. Anna combined the stitched circle tag from the Tag Builder Blueprints 6 collection with Blueprints 31 to create a fun and unexpected, shaker surprise! The adorable hedgehog images and brick detail on the outside panel complete her sweet look.

There are so many great Blueprints elements layered together on Torico's fall-themed card including a fishtail banner from Blueprints 24 that provides the backdrop for her images. We love how she creatively cut her grass from the same fishtail banner so everything would stack perfectly behind her sweet hedgehogs. A sentiment stamped on a curved banner softens her layers and completes her darling scene.
