You're My Universe

Kim is sharing this card on the Paper Smooches Blog today. It features four stamps from one of the July releases, Space Cadet. I die cut the map paper in a circle to create the earth for the telescope to stand on. The telescope itself is coloured with Copic markers and the stars are embellished with Stickles.

I also wanted to share a card my son made with this set as soon as it arrived a month ago. Of course, he thought this stamp set was the best! He did all the stamping, glittering and adhering of the stickers as a tribute to his Dad, whom he calls Kwazii from the Octonauts. It makes sense, doesn't it? LOL

Okay, D's cardmaking skills are progressing amazingly quickly! (I can't believe there are no punches or die cuts on it, though. :P)
And your card is perfect -- awesome layout, and what a perfect match between your card base and the patterned paper!

Love the little man's card, fabulous job. Your big globe is fabulous, I just finished reading The Age of Miracles, great read, if you read it you'll understand why the card made me think of it (spilling no beans).

I love your card! I too love how you used the map paper too! As for you son, your little bio says he's 3.5 -- is he still? Because if he is, he has incredible, and I mean incredible hand eye coordination! I love how he got so many images on his card! More fun!
