Trees

I had a stray tree on my desk for quite some time.  I finally decided to put it to good use! When I received my Rooted in Nature stamp set, I played around using daubers trying to blend different colors (Mint Macaron and Tranquil Tide).  The next level back was using Tranquil Tide, and the back tree was Tranquil Tide stamped off once.  The tree trunks were inked with Early Espresso.  I die cut my panel of whisper white with the Blended Seasons (no longer available) shape and then did the same with a piece of Wood Textures dsp.  The pieces were mounted on a Mint Macaron base embossed with the Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The sentiment is from a Paper Pumpkin kit.  I tied some baker's twine from Share What You Love embellishments.  Twine is my favorite embellishment!  What is yours?  Is it ribbon, buttons, rhinestones, enamel shapes?

Tin Tile love

I must confess, I buy every embossing folder that Stampin' Up! comes out with. They are very affordable and they give a wow factor to a card.  I bought the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder from the Holiday Catalog which went live yesterday.  I didn't buy the Galvanized Paper.  It's on my list, but didn't make the cut this time.  This folder is gorgeous in any color!

I keep seeing cards posted using the galvanized paper and the Tin Tile Embossing Folder.  I decided to see how the Frost White Shimmer Paint would work.  I used a Stampin' Sponge and dabbed it on. Here is the outcome.  I used two different sets on this.  I needed a sympathy so I used the Thinking Of You from Rooted in Nature.  I decided to frame it with the Swirly Frames photo polymer set.  This is a versatile set!  I can't wait to play more with it.

Thinking of you

I saw this awesome fold on a Facebook live  by Karen Titus (Stamping on the Back Porch).  I’m not sure I did it exactly like she did, but I started with a panel of Tranquil Tide cut at 4-1/4 x 5-1/2.  Then I cut a piece of Share What You Love dsp.  This is an amazing card stock weight dsp.  This fold shows both sides of the pretty paper.  I cut it at 8 x 4” and scored at 4 and adhered it on the panel. I stamped the stump from Rooted in Nature in Crumb Cake and edged it with Early Espresso, then I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed with Stampin’ White embossing powder.  I fussy cut it and adhered half of it on the dsp and added some Nature's Twine.  A 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Whisper White was added to the inside for my greeting and I finished by stamping a leaf.  The Rooted in Nature is such a versatile bundle!   Check out my previous post here: Rooted
