Grade 5

Well, here is the last school picture page for awhile!  For Maddie's page I chose some different patterns from the Presents and Pinecones designer series paper package as my background.

I also used the Chevron border punch - both the punched pieces and the negative part for accents as well as some retired Project Life pieces and an In Color doily.

The dimension and texture of the wooden accents is what draws me to them when I put together scrapbook pages.

Supplies:

Whisper White, Basic Black card stock

Presents and Pinecones dsp

chevron border punch

Project Life

Large Numbers framelits

You Make Me

 

Perfect Pennants is one of the retiring stamp sets so I wanted to make another card with it before its time is over (there may be more before the month is over too!).  

 

I pulled out my Chevron border punch and punched out of some Shine on specialty paper before adding card stock behind it.  I added some little silver stamped images from the All about Everything stamp set too.

 

Supplies:

All about everything, Perfect Pennants

Metallic Silver, Island Indigo ink

Whisper White, Island Indigo card stock

English Garden dsp

Shine on specialty paper

Chevron border punch

Num Num

Today I have another sneak peek for you! This stamp set is called Num Num and I have once again used some of the new In Colors and designer series paper from the upcoming catalog.

Lost Lagoon and Hello Honey are the colors I used on this card and paired them with Pistachio Pudding and Whisper White. The designer series paper is once again the Lullaby collection.

As you may also notice, I used the decorative dots folder that we saw during Sale-a-bration and it is carried over to the new catalog - yeah!!

Party Time

 

I thought I would share the layout I created with the July My Paper Pumpkin Kit.  My daughter's birthday party pictures worked well to fill in the spaces I had created for pictures and all I needed to do was attach those and add some journaling.

 

I just love it when I have premade pages ready to pop pictures into! 

 

Supplies:

My Paper Pumpkin kit

Chevron border punch

Pool Party, Whisper white, Calypso Coral and Island Indigo card stock

 

Perfectly You

The hostess stamp sets in the back of the Holiday catalog are great, but I haven't seemed to use them much so I decided to put together a few cards using the Perfectly You set to share with you today.

 



 

I paired it with the Hearts a Flutter bundle and the Chevron border punch.

Hey there!

Those fun little Paper Pumpkin kits are so much fun, but remember, you can still use them after the project in the box is completed!  I have used a couple different sets of stamps from previous kits on these quick and fun cards.

 

The Chevron border punch is super fun to play with as well and you can use either the chevrons you punch out or the piece you punched them from!

 

The background is embossed with the Alphabet Press Folder on Smoky Slate for each of the cards.

You Make Me Happy

Isn't the new Chevron border punch fun?  On this card, I used Smoky Slate card stock with it and popped the piece up with Stampin' dimensionals to give it a little more depth.

 



 

The Alphabet Press folder went behind the Chevron punched card stock and I used Coastal Cabana for that.  I added a die cut from the Chalk Talk set, some bakers twine and a simply pressed clay flower to complete the accents.

I have been playing around a lot with the Gorgeous Grunge and Hello Lovely stamp sets that we received free at convention.  On this card I added a punched element using the Chevron border punch and placed some in color dsp behind it.

 

I am sure I will be showing you a lot of projects with one or the other of these stamp sets, my Stamp Club this month also uses them both and I will share those projects in the next few days as well.
