Texture and Pattern

 

I always seen to go back to this sentiment that was in the first Paper Pumpkin kit, I love the fonts as well as the words.

 

There are quite a few things going on in this card...maybe too much?  I chose to add a Positively Chevron background followed by some Decorative Dots embossing.

 

Another Paper Pumpkin stamp is placed behind the sentiment and I also used the Gorgeous Grunge set for a little splatter.

 

Supplies:

Gorgeous Grunge, Positively Chevron, Paper Pumpkin

Crumb Cake, Lost Lagoon ink

Soft Suede, Whisper White, Lost Lagoon card stock

Note tag punch

mini stapler

Wonderful Life

 

 

Since I just ordered the floral fusion sizzlit recently, I have  been playing with it a little bit and this card is one of those experiments.

 

I used the Positively Chevron, Gorgeous Grunge and Perfect Pennants stamp sets with the little flowers as accents.

 

I am drawn to this style of card and like to see what different combinations I can work with, but usually Gorgeous Grunge comes into play.

Little Altered Notebooks

 

Our Late Night Stampers challenge that starts today is to make a back to school teacher gift.  I thought these cute little altered notebooks would be great teacher or even student gifts for back to school.

 

 

I found the notebooks at the "M" store in the dollar section awhile ago on clearance and while they looked nice without altering, I thought they would be more fun this way!

 

I used several different designer series papers, but added some 1 1/4 burlap ribbon to each one.

 

 

The "notes" comes from the ABC 123 Sketch alphabet and numbers stamp set and I added the Positively Chevron background stamp over the top.

 

The Delicate Doilies stamp set shows up in two of the designs as well.
