Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share My Galaxy Platform Card using the Galactic Fighter and the Galactic Sidekicks Stamp Sets by Kindred Stamps!
A friend of mine asked for me to create a custom Star Wars Valentine card for her Hubby who is a huge Star Wars fan! As you might know, I have many different Star Wars stamps, but I decided to use Kindred Stamps since I just received them recently and their stamps are the right size for platform cards!
I had fun making another platform card for my brother’s birthday (I will link to it at the end of this post) that I decided to make one as an option from which my friend could choose. I also made a regular A2 card as another possibility and will post that another day.
The Details of My Card
My friend asked for Leia, Hans Solo and R2D2. So, I coloured them with my Copic markers in their traditional colours. When I showed her the stamp set, she loved the sentiment “I’ve searched the galaxy for you”.
I thought it would be fun for the platform to represent the Millennium Falcon’s bridge. So, I used the Foundry Embossing Folder to emboss the Basic Black die cut that wrapped around the card. Next, I rubbed Brushed Iron Wax to make all the details stand out. Perfect for a look of metal that had been cobbled together since the ship had been battered together so many times. Lol! I made the base Basic Gray like a metal floor and used the stitched rectangle die from the Add On to create stability for the pop-up characters.
Since this was supposed to be the Millennium Falcon’s bridge, I used a pretty Nebula paper from Whimsy Stamps for the windows behind R2D2.
The Stamp AnnieThing Galactic paper had the perfect Valentine theme with the word LOVE against a galaxy of twinkling stars. And it matched my Nebula paper!
I added a few red resin hearts to the sentiment but forgot to take another photo. So, you will just have to imagine that! Lol!
