WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT

COLOUR INSPIRATION

Evening Evergreen
Pool
Party
Cherry Cobbler

This month's Colour Inspiration features Evening Evergreen, Cherry Cobbler, and Pool Party. I think you'll love how the rich, traditional colours are brightened with a pop of lighter Pool Party. It's traditional with a twist!

The first card features the stamps, dies, and paper from the Sweet Stockings Suite (#156273). The Sweet Stockings 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (#156281) has lots of images that coordinate with die cuts. The sweet dog and stocking are from the paper. As an unexpected twist, the large and small tag dies are used to create a dog house and the scalloped stocking top die makes the roof for the doghouse. Texture is added to the dog house with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). A bit of sparkle is added with a tiny silver bow using the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766).

The second card features the Whimsical Trees Bundle (#156810) and the Tidings of Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (#155718) from the Annual Catalogue. Sweet details are added with the Everyday Label Punch (#144668), Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder (#153576), Pool Party 3/8" Grosgrain Ribbon (#156290), Silver Foil 12" x 12" Specialty Pack (#156457), and Subtle Shimmer Sequins (#156407).


TIP: This card can be created flat or add extra dimension with this sloped layers technique. Cut the two paper strips to 1" x 5-1/2" to leave space for overlapping. Adhere the far right strip to the card front with Stampin' SEAL. For the next strip and the 3" x 5-1/2" main panel add Stampin' SEAL to the left edge and Stampin' Dimensionals to the right edge. This creates a cool layered effect where one edge is higher than the other, kind of like shingles on a roof.

I'm seeing STARS

I think I was feeling nostalgic for Ruby Red, River Rock, Soft Sky and Bayou Blue when I started this set. I wanted to create something not at all feminine but it didn't turn out as particularily masculine. I only had scraps of River Rock and was lacking in matching ribbon as well so it was a bit more challenging than I anticipated. I planned to use a the inks that matched and a stamp set I really like and have been hanging on to since Spring 2008 {pictured below} but once I got my Big Shot and my Stars #2 Die out all the plans changed. This set was offered with a 5"x5" little album and papers and cardstock stickers in Pumkin and Olive and Bashful Blue which I also still have a few pieces left from now that I think about it. I feel some more inspiration coming on. I enjoyed the kit so much because I made a lovely little album for my elderly cousin Eda with a collection of photos from her yearly family picnics. I put the finishing touches on it in the car on the way there
