Fine Art Messages

Today I have several cards to share with you all using the Many Messages Bundle and Fine Art Floral designer series paper.

For the first one, I chose Old Olive, Night of Navy and Rococo Rose card stock colors and used a die cut made with the Stitched Nested Labels dies.

The next card also uses the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate which matches the pattern of the designer series paper and is used as an overlay.

The strip behind the sentiment is just another pattern of the designer series paper and for this card I used Old Olive and Balmy Blue card stock colors.

On the last card, I chose to use Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow and So Saffron card stock colors and added dry embossing using the Brick and Mortar embossing folder.

I could use the combination of this designer series paper pack with the Many Messages bundle all day long especially with so many different sentiments and patterns to choose from!

Many Messages

Memento Black ink

So Saffron, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow, Old Navy, Balmy Blue, Whisper White, Night of Navy and Rococo Rose card stock

FINE ART FLORAL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

We then took those canvases, photographed them, and made them into this unique designer series paper. Your heart will grow wild when you get this paper in your hands. The pack includes florals, patterns, colour variance, and all the touches of professional paintings. This papercrafting staple is great scrapbook paper, card making paper, and more!

March Stamp Club Projects

Our monthly stamp club projects this time around are sort of spring themed, although that is not something that was on my mind when I put them together. 

The first card uses the Timeless Tulips stamp set, Stitched Rectangles framelits and Butterfly Bijou designer series paper...

Next, we have used many elements in the Butterfly Brilliance bundle including the stamp set, dies and designer series paper.  The sentiment is from the So Sentimental stamp set and is punched out with the Tailored Tag punch.  We have also used some Opal Rounds for accents.

The layout uses the beautiful Fine Art Floral designer series paper and coordinating card stock colors.

If these projects look like fun, we always welcome new members to our group - beginners or experienced stampers!

Paper Pumpkin Layout Idea

I have again put together a 12" x 12" scrapbook layout using pieces from the February Paper Pumpkin kit.  The base is a piece of Smoky Slate card stock and I added very little extras beyond that.

The triangles on the right side are envelopes that I cut down because I liked the patterns on the inside.  Each photo mats are card bases that were cut down...

I added quite a few of the black adhesive backed sequins that were in the kit for accents...

The foil piece was cut in half so that I could use the other piece on another project and the little triangle was stamped with the Sale-a-bration hostess set Punch Party and punched out using the rectangle postage punch.

Don't miss out on the March kit, order by the 10th!

February Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card Ideas

The February Paper Pumpkin kit was really fun to play around with and I know that the stamp set included in the kit will be one I use quite a lot.  The first picture is the design of the cards as intended...

Below are a couple more ideas using pieces from the kit along with some extra card stock and designer series paper.

The kit contains lots of pieces and by cutting some of them down, you can really make a lot of beautiful cards.  

Don't miss out on the March kit, order by the 10th!
