We used the Seasonally Scattered stamp set at the December club, this time focusing on the MERRY image stamp. We heat embossed the MERRY image onto vellum with silver embossing powder and then created a pocket using Washi tape to create another shaker card. We added the Christmas phrase using the large alphabet rotary stamp.
Fall Fest - Hello Fall
I had a few pumpkins leftover from the Fall Fest - Grateful for You swaps that I made and posted about the other day. I created another card featuring this emboss & color technique for my card a week challenge with Paula. I am about 2 weeks behind on this challenge but am catching up.
I really like the way this card turn out. It's clean and simple, just my style. We may even make this card at my next card club.
A few fun things to note...
1. I stamped the THANKS image from Seasonally Scattered as the background image for this card. I stamped the image in Mossy Meadow.
2. I stamped the hardwood in crumb cake on crumb cake card stock and then cut one plank to create the wood banner that covers up the THANKS phrase in the Seasonally Scattered image. I love how covering up the phrase gives this stamp set so many more uses.
3. I stamped the 'Hello Fall' in vellum and then overlaid the phrase onto the pumpkin and the plank banner.
Seasonally Scattered - Thanks Card
Here is the THANKS card we created at card club this month. I used a similar technique on one of the cards I made for the convention display boards. If you missed it you can see those cards using the Seasonally Scattered stamp set here.
Some tips and tricks: I used Stampin' Write markers to color the image and then turned it into a tag using the scallop tag topper punch and the PL corner round punch. The hardwood background was stamped on the left 2/3 of the card and then I used the delicate designs scallop lace to emboss the right edge of the card. The pearls have been colored with a pumpkin pie blendability marker.
This Fall themed card also features 3 of the new in-colors.
