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 and just can’t stop creating with
it. Today I focused on another of the 12
different designs of DSP I can choose from with this paper pack (12 sheets, 2
each of 6 double sided designs that are 12 x 12”) this one has a base that is
Merry Merlot with beautiful leaf patters in Cajun Craze and Cherry Cobbler. 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, let’s get started with the first page. I started with a piece
of 12 x 12” whisper white cardstock as my base.
Then I added a piece of the Leaf DSP from the Come to Gather paper pack,
that measures 3 x 12”. It was added it
to the far left of my page. I then cut
three photo mats 2 in Cajun Craze (one is 4 ¼ x 6 ¼” and the other is 4 ¼ x 4 ¼”) the third is cut from Merry Merlot and measures 4 ¼ x 6 ¼”.
To
embellish my page, I stamped the largest leaf from the Gather Together stamp
set onto whisper white cardstock using Memento Black ink and die cut using the
die from the Gathered Leaves Dies. I
then stamped the two smaller leaves from the Colorful Seasons stamp set onto whisper
white cardstock (again with Black ink) and die cut them from the Seasonal
Layers dies. I then used my Stampin’
Blends to color those leaves starting with old olive in the center then working
out Cajun Craze and ending with Daffodil Delight (be sure to blend the colors
from one to the next).
The smaller leaves
were die cut from Copper Foil Sheets, Cajun Craze cardstock and Merry Merlot cardstock
using the dies from the Gathered Leaves Dies.
I cut a total of three of each color (Tip, if you spritz the cardstock
with just a hint of water you will get a two-toned look on your leaf). I attached the large leave to the center
where the photo mats intersect and the and medium leaves to the top and bottom of the
left side of the page.
The leaves I
colored were adhered directly onto the page and then layered the Cajun Craze
and Copper Foil leaves directly onto them.
I added a dimensional to the Merry Merlot leaves and popped them
up. I added a little bow made from Linen
Thread to the smaller two leaf clusters and used a bow made from Braded Linen
Trim to the center leave cluster.
So on to page two…
Guess what, it is the exact same design just turned
around (see what I mean) so simply do the same thing as in page one just make it
a mirrored image and change the mats to two Merry Merlot (one 4 ¼ x 6 ¼” and
one 4 ¼ x 4 ¼”) and one Cajun Craze 4 ¼ x 6 ¼” and there you have it.
I hope you enjoy this layout; it really is quite
simple and fun. As always all the
supplies you require can be found on my website at www.craftwithronnie.stampinup.net
or by clicking on the shopping cart at the top of this page.
I am also trying something new and plan to
list the supplies below with a link to them directly (wish me luck as
technology is not my greatest friend at times).
Happy Crafting!!!
