Prom 2017

Since it is my oldest son, Hunter's, birthday today I thought I would share the scrapbook page I made for his first prom. 

I chose to start off with a Real Red card stock base and then added some designer series paper from the Neutrals color collection.  The letters are cut using the Large Letters framelits and I have added some enamel shapes and some 3/8" metallic ribbon for texture and accent. 

The matted photo is popped up over the designer series paper.

Supplies:

Real Red, Night of Navy, Whisper White card stock

Neutrals color collection dsp

enamel shapes

3/8" metallic ribbon (SAB 2017)

Large Letters framelits

Floral Birthday

When I first saw the Floral boutique designer series paper in the catalog I wasn't sure I wanted to use it, I am not sure if it is because there aren't more colors in it or if it was for another reason.  Eventually I tried it out though because I really love the coordinating stamp set called Floral Phrases and now I am not sure why I didn't like it before, LOL!  I combined both the designer series paper and the stamp set on the birthday card below.

On the background I again used the Delicate Details (SAB 2017) stamp set and then added some flowers from the Floral Phrases set on the die cut label.  The sentiment is from the retired stamp set called Tin of Cards. 

Supplies:

Tin of Cards, Floral Phrases, Delicate Details (SAB 2017)

January Paper Pumpkin Alternative

This is another alternative project you could create using the January 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit.  I started out with a Rich Razzleberry 12" x 12" card stock and added some Tempting Turquoise and Calypso Coral card stock.

I cut down one of the boxes to use it as a pull our journaling card holder and added some banners, enamel shapes and a gold binder clip.

Christmas Stars

Star of Light is one of my favorites from the Holiday catalog this year.  I have tried it in a few different color schemes - this one uses Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake. 

There is a strip of This Christmas specialty designer series paper behind the popped up star layer and I added a metallic enamel shape to the center of the star.

Supplies:

Star of Light

This Christmas specialty paper

Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake ink

Very Vanilla, Early Espresso card stock

Metallic enamel shapes

Embossed Wishes

There is really a lot of different things you can do with the Fancy Frost specialty designer series paper in the Holiday catalog.  The embossed designs on white paper are in six different patterns and I have used pieces for scrapbook pages, card bases (as in the card below) and card layers as well as on 3d projects.  The paper is thicker than designer series paper and holds up well as a card base or scrap book page base.

For this card, I chose to ink part of the front of the card with Soft Suede ink and then added some flowers and leaves using images from the Rose Wonder stamp set.  Next I stamped the sentiment on a separate piece of the same specialty paper and sponged some ink on that as well before popping it up on the card.  The final elements I added were the enamel shapes.

Supplies:

Rose Wonder

Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi, Soft Suede ink
