Dry Emboss It!

Have you ever tried to dry emboss your Designer Series Paper? It adds another layer of texture to your projects.

Here is one done on the Peekaboo Peach patterned paper in the Painted Autumn DSP pack:
Painted-Harvest-6We used the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder…but instead of putting the raised side up, we used the indented side (de-bossing). 

The next pairing is the Christmas Around the World DSP and the stunning Winter Wonder Embossing Folder:
Labels-to-Love-1Snow on snow…I love it!

And finally, a sample using the Quilted Christmas 6″ x 6″ DSP pack and the Quilt Top Embossing Folder:Christmas-Quilt-1Look how much it adds to the original striped pattern?

Painted Harvest

This shelf makes me so happy…it showcases the Painted Harvest Bundle which my clubs worked with this month.
Painted-Harvest-3You really cannot comprehend how beautiful these stamps are until you start stamping with them. The textures on the overlapping images are stunning. Try them in multiple color combinations…which ones do you like the best?

This framed image is cased right from the Holiday Catalogue.
Painted-Harvest-5A little tip when you stamp the leaves in a circular pattern…punch out a circle first and lightly trace it onto your piece of Whisper White Cardstock. Stamp the leaves on top of that pencil line. This makes it much easier to get it looking like a wreath. :) I stamped the first layer in Lemon Lime Twist and then the second layer in Garden Green. It is embellished with the Touches of Nature Elements and the 1/4″ Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon.  The Painted Harvest Bundle includes the Leaf Punch which makes it super quick to create layers of leaves on your project. What a beautiful accent to any display this October.

Check out this card from the oh so talented Kathy Lovell using the spotlighting technique:
Painted-Harvest-4 The pop of color on the black and gray images is quite effective. This set is so versatile.

Time to celebrate fall

The weather is definitely changing. It’s time to celebrate fall. As much as I love all the new Christmas product in the Holiday Catalogue, I am totally in love with the Painted Harvest stamp set and coordinating leaf punch. The pictures are beautiful, but the magic happens when you actually stamp the sunflowers in person. The shading effects on each layer make it super easy to look like a professional watercolor-er. Is that even a word?

Here is the yellow version of the sunflower as seen in the Holiday Catalogue.
Painted-Harvest-1And here is a blue version.
Painted-Harvest-2I must say, I think the blue one is my favorite. It is one of the cards my club members get to make this month. The navy gingham ribbon is a beautiful addition to the card and is super soft and easy to tie. (The ribbon also comes in Smoky Slate.)
