Sneak Peek at Painted Collage

 This month's Team Stampin' Social we met to make some of the projects shown at Creativity Now - a demo-only event where we got to play with the Painted Collage Suite Collection that will be available to purchase in November. So for my swap card, I chose the Painted Collage stamp set. I found this design in the Creativity Now private FB group to CASE. It spoke to me for its use of two colours (Smoky Slate and Hydrangea Hue) and smattering of images. Thought I'd add some vellum and silver foil for more dimension. The greeting couldn't have been more perfect for a team social card!

Stunning Moonlit Flora Hello

These Everyday Arches dies are awesome for layering up a label and especially nice on this gatefold card by Wendy for our Team meeting swap this month. So much texture! And can we all agree that this Moonlit Flora paper is a keeper? The rich Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine colours are warm and inviting. Love how Wendy added the In Color Butterflies to finish it off. Enjoy!

Beatiful and Anything but Ordinary

Back to team swaps with Dawn’s thank you card. Stampin’ Up! is so good at the matchy-matchy with multiple patterns in designer series paper packs, aligning colours on both sides of the paper so well. Dawn chose varying sizes of rectangles to show this off beautifully leaving a little space in between for the card base in Balmy Blue to shine through. One great way to use up small scraps of your patterned papers. I particularly like how there are a few cut from the Perennial Postage dies thrown in for accent. Enjoy!

Birthday Balloon Festoon

Have you tried this? For today’s card, I flipped my embossing layer over to display the debossed side for a change. I think it works really well with the Swirls of Magic folder and definitely worth a try with other folders. Looks great, eh? I’d originally planned 5 or 6 balloons and a greeting, then landed on a heat embossed birthday greeting on the largest. Such a cheery card!

Floral Vignette as a background stamp in Crisp Cantaloupe

Is this patterned paper on the card front? Nope! That’s the collage stamping using Crisp Cantaloupe ink on Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock. Results in a subtle design as a great background for the greeting. I used my cut-apart Floral Vignette single stamp. Yes you read that correctly! I cut the floral image out of the frame to expand its use. Fits right on the Clear Block E or your Stampin' Positioner. This is a layout to tuck away in your ideas folder for a quick card design. Enjoy!
