In Good Taste

Have you seen the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper? OMG, this is perfection!

If you like texture, fibers, wood, and stone, you're gonna love this paper! One side has photographic images while the other has subtle patterns. AND you get 24 sheets of this fabulous paper - two each of 12 sheets of double sided designs. Let's take a look:

I'm often asked for masculine cards, and I think this fits the bill. I incorporated the DSP with Rooted in Nature and Forever Fern to create a woodsy, natural card.

The background is the DSP, which looks like stone tile. The card base has 1" cut off the right side; this allows the tweed-like DSP to show when the card is closed.

Two of the Rooted in Nature stamps were stamped and cut, and mounted on a Stitched So Sweetly rectangle, embossed with the Subtle embossing folder. Then I stamped and cut extra leaves from Forever Fern and the coordinating Forever Flourishing dies to make sprigs to tuck under the large slice of tree trunk.

Some of the die-cuts are of Vellum; I love how the see-through nature of vellum adds a light touch.

This will probably be my favorite designer paper in the new catalog - I can just envision so many projects on which to use it! Check it out!

A Little Different Card

Here's a card that is a little different from the usual:

At first glance you might think this is a normal, 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" card, but that's not quite right:

When I stand it up, you can see that a triangle on the front of the card is missing and allows the greeting on the inside of the card to show.

This was one of the cards we made at our September Card Club. Attendees learned to make their own background paper (see the lightly stamped images on the Cajun Craze card front) as well as how to make a slightly unusual card.

It's easy to make this "fun fold"--start with a piece of 4-1/2" x 11" Cajun Craze, and measure 3" up from the bottom right corner, and 3" left of the bottom right corner, then cut on the diagonal line it creates. This gives you that "peek-a-boo" corner, just perfect for a lovely sentiment.

We used Mossy Meadow ink to stamp the leaves from Rooted in Nature on the small squares of
Very Vanilla cardstock. These were mounted to a square of Mossy Meadow and adhered to the front of the card. The sentiment from the Magnolia Blooms set (only available through the new Beginner Brochure); I love the font of this greeting.

And that pretty metallic accent in the middle? That is a die from the Nature's Roots die set, embossed and cut out with Copper Foil. SO pretty!

Try this "slice off the corner" card--it's a different kind of lovely!

Deer in the Yard, and Deer on a Card

We've been having some regular visitors to our yard at our new home, and I'm loving it!

Sometimes he brings his mama:

But now that we've started our landscaping (and have a new fence) their visits are a little less frequent. I hope they'll continue to visit once the landscaping is done.

Our little friends have inspired this card:

Sigh...LOVE!

I reached back to an older stamp set (but still in the current annual catalog) - Dashing Deer. I was working with the gorgeous new designer series paper, Brightly Gleaming, and inspiration struck.

Yes, I know there is no such thing as a copper deer, but I love the Delicata Celestial Copper ink on Night of Navy cardstock...so beautiful!

Baby deer is also stamped in Celestial Copper, and both creatures were cut out with the Detailed Deer dies. And see that sentiment? Stamped on Vellum with Night of Navy ink and heat embossed with Clear emboss powder to give a nice shine.

Although it only looks like a few white patches on these trees, they actually are covered in Shimmery Crystal Effects with some Ice Stampin' Glitter and are very glittery. They are from the Rooted in Nature set and cut with the Nature's Roots dies.

A Whisper White layer was layered with two pieces of Vellum, torn to look like snow drifts. There's a thin line of Wink of Stella across the tops of each piece, which when held in the light looks like sparkling snow.
