Today we are going to be once again be using the
awesome Come to Gather DSP. I am
actually loving all the paper in the pack but today I was really drawn to the
simplicity of this wood panel paper.
Love it with these colors but love the fact that it could be used with
pretty much any of the Stampin’ Up colors even more. I am again leaning heavily on the Pretty
Peacock for this project, I am really loving this color. Please stay tuned as I continue to create
with this great paper pack (just remember it is from the Holiday catalog and it
will retire on January 2nd so don’t wait to order yours).
Today’s pages…
So lets get started with the first page. I started with a piece
of 12 x 12” whisper white cardstock as my base.
Then I I added a piece of the Wood Panel DSP from the Come to Gather
paper pack, that measures 5 x 12”. It
was added it to the far right of my page.
Next I cut a piece of the checkered DSP (love this pretty peacock check)
that measured 7 x 7”. I then cut that
square directly across to create a triangle cutting from the top right corner
to the bottom left corner (save the other piece of the triangle for page
2). I placed that DSP in the top left corner (see
photo). Next, I ran a piece of the
awesome Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen Ribbon down along side of the paneling
DSP, I love the finished look it gives and the interest it adds.
To
decorate my page, I added a piece of mint macaron cardstock that measured 8 ½ x
8 ½”, this is a nice base for my photo mat and other embellishments. I started with the upper left corner where I placed
two leaves that I had stamped from the Gather Together stamp set onto pretty
peacock cardstock using pretty peacock ink and one onto mint macaron cardstock
using mint macaron ink. Each was cut out
using the largest leaf die from the Gathered Leaves Dies. I attached the two pretty peacock leaves
directly onto my page and popped the mint macaron leaf up with a
dimensional. I added a little bow made
from Linen Thread. In the bottom right
corner I cut two leaves out (one from pretty peacock and one from mint macaroon
cardstock) for these I used the smaller dies from the Gathered Leaves Dies
(hint here, if you spritz them with a little water before you run them through
your die cutting machine they stay two toned like these). I added another little bow made from the
Linen Thread.
To
finish off the page I stamped the sentiment “Simply thankful for all the good
things” from the County Home stamp set
using Mint Macaron ink onto a piece of whisper white cardstock that I cut using
the 4th from the largest of the Stitched Rectangles dies. I added an additional layer of pretty peacock
cardstock under it that was cut from the third from the largest die and popped
the whole thing up using dimensionals.
For the final addition I added a photo mat that was cut from pretty
peacock cardstock that measures 4 ¼ x 6 ¼” (my photos are 4 x 6”).
So there is page 1 now
lets get started on page 2…
For this page I again started with a piece of 12 x 12”
Whisper White cardstock as my base. I
again cut a piece of the Wood Panel DSP from the Come to Gather paper pack that
also measured 5 x 12” and added it to the far left of my page. Now I added the other half of the pretty
peacock checked paper square we cut into a triangle. I placed that DSP in the bottom right corner
(see photo). Next, I ran another piece
of the Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen Ribbon down alongside of the paneling
DSP.
I added three photo mats to the page that were cut
from pretty peacock cardstock. The
horizonal mat measures 4 ¼ x 6 ¼ and the two vertical mats are for smaller
photos and measure 3 ¼ x 5 ¼”. Note, I
did over lap the two mats at the bottom but I did not adhere them where they
overlap so I can tuck my pictures in.
To embellish my page, I started by cutting two of the
smallest of the leaves from the Gathered Leaves dies and three of the smaller
leaves from the same set. I cut one each
of the smallest ones using mint macaron and pretty peacock cardstock and placed
them in the top right corner of the page.
I added a little bow made out of the Linen Thread. I then cut three of the slightly larger ones,
two from mint macaron and one from pretty peacock. And placed them in the center of the photo
mats. I adhered the two mint macaron
leaves directly to the page and popped up the pretty peacock leaf with a
dimensional. I added another little bow
made from the Linen Thread.
Now for the part that I believe makes this
layout. I stamped the milk can from the
Country Home using Memento ink onto a piece of whisper white cardstock. I then masked the milk can (easy to do just
stamp the image on a post-it note and cut it out (be sure to leave the sticky
part attached) and place it on top of the can and stamp the flowers (this way
if they overlap you can’t even see it).
I then went to work coloring. I
used my amazing Stampin’ Blends (I swear they make anyone an artist) to
color. I colored the milk can using the
Smoky Slate combo and the flowers were done with the pretty peacock combo, the
granny apple green combo, the soft suede combo and the light cherry cobbler
blends. I then cut it out using that 4th
largest of the Stitched Rectangles die again.
I layered this (a little off set) onto a piece of pretty peacock
cardstock that measures 2 ¼ x 5 ¾” and then popped that whole thing up using a
dimensional. I added one more of the
little bows made from the Linen Thread (this stuff is great to work with) and
there you have the layout.
