Layering Leaves

This card has several elements and layers but is really a pretty quick one to put together. When designing it, I thought about using Very Vanilla for the sentiment layer to keep it all one color but ended up adding some color with Boho Blue card stock.


The designer series paper layers are from the All About Autumn collection, which is retired, and I used the Timeworn Type embossing folder for on the Very Vanilla layer.
The sentiment and leaves are from the Layering Leaves stamp set, it is a very versatile set, and you also have the option to two step stamp your leaves with it if you choose.

This set is refreshing, just like the great outdoors. Get yours today! Also available in French.

This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set; it allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colors you want.

This card came about from some leftover die cuts and scraps that I was trying to use up when I was at a retreat recently. By using the leftovers, I put together several cards similar to this one but with different colors, die cuts and embossed pieces.

I made a few baby cards using some leftover die cuts and embossed pieces a while back, they are not all the same, but below is a sample of one of them.

Wonderful Birthday


Happy Valentine's Day! and Happy Anniversary to my husband and I (26 years) as well. 
I don't have a Valentine's Day card to show you today, but I have a colorful birthday card made suing the Hooray for Surprises 
stamp set.


I used Berry Burst and Bubble Bath ink along with Pebbled Path and Bubble Bath card stock. The sentiment is die cut and layered using the Deckled Circles dies and there are some Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems added as well.


Supplies:
Hooray for Surprises
Berry Burst, Bubble Bath ink
Pebbled Path, Bubble Bath and Basic White card stock
Deckled Circles dies

Send lots of love and wishes with cards you make using the Hooray for Surprises Stamp Set. The playful images are perfect for birthdays, love, and just because. Stamp “Pull” or “Open here” on the front of the card to invite your recipient to open it for a surprise, such as a fun image or a heartfelt message! Also available in French.

Every crafter needs some basic tools, and this is one of them! The Deckled Circle Dies quickly cut basic shapes with a twist—a deckled* edge! What can you do with something so basic? For starters, you can cut several sizes in different colors and layer them to create a big colorful circle. Cut different sizes and scatter them on your card for a fun background. Cut in rainbow colors, then cut the circle in half for two rainbows. The list goes on and on and on. If you have a die-cutting machine, you’ll want these dies! (And if you don’t have a die-cutting machine, this is your reason to get one!)

* Not sure what "deckled" is? Picture the edge of handmade paper. It’s untrimmed and irregular. That’s a deckle edge. The deckle edge on these dies mimics the irregular, uncut edge of handmade paper.

* 14 dies
* Largest die: 5-3/4" (14.6 cm) diameter
* Use with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Dies help you create unique die-cut shapes and paper cutouts with just a quick run through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Detailed dies include ejection holes so you can remove the paper easily.

January Stamp Club Projects

I am finally getting around to sharing the January Stamp Club projects with you! It seems like even though I should have more time to get things done in the winter, I really don't!


We started with a baby card created using the Bee My Valentine Collection and the Cradled with Love (SAB 2024) stamp set.


Next, we used the Lifetime of Love stamp set, Forever Love designer series paper and the Stylish Shapes dies to create a wedding card. I just love the color combinations in this designer series paper collection!


Finally, our layout showcases the Poetic Expressions designer series paper and coordinating card stock colors.
