So Many Books, So Little Time Card by Donna Idlet

So Many Books!

This fun book themed card by Donna is perfect for sending a cheerful greeting to a book enthusiast!

To create this adorable card she started by cutting out books in a rainbow of colors. She used our Bookmark II Die Set for the book silhouettes and cut them out of patterned papers from our Bright Basics Paper Pad. She cut the images out again from solid colored cardstock and layered in the ovals and rectangles on the book ends. She also cut out a cat using our Cat Silhouettes Die Set and she stamped and colored the clock from our Never Enough Books Stamp Set, cutting it out using the coordinating Never Enough Books Die Set.

Next, she created a bookshelf scene using all of these elements. She stenciled a background pattern using our Basketweave Stencil with a light gray ink on white cardstock. She then cut this panel out using the rectangle from our Basic Frames Die Set to give it a fun stitched edge. She also cut out a brown striped patterned paper strip from our Coffee House Stories Paper Pad. She also cut this strip again using the rectangle from our Basic Frames Die Set so that she could layer it over the background and have the stitching match up. Finally, she added the books, cat and alarm clock onto the shelf. 

For a message she added "So many nooks, so little time" from our Never Enough Books Stamp Set. She also framed the whole panel with a black postage edged frame, cut out using our Framework Die Set. 

What a fun way to combine all these great products together! The cheerful rainbow of books is sure to brighten the day of any book lover!
