See a Silhouette DSP Hexagons

A bonus Tracy day today, we started off with the Tracy See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper since we are trying our best to make sure to use the truckload that we bought!

~Enjoy!

We have been making an attempt to CASE the catalog for ideas, so we found this card on page 132 of the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. I was not happy with the irregular cuts of the hexagons, so I decided to go grab my retired Hexagon Punch and cute the hexagons out of the paper & then I could create a uniform mat with white cardstock. The problem with this was that the punch was slightly bigger than the paper I had already cut out & white borders off, but as the pieces were lying on the table I noticed that some of them were upside down & I could not tell the difference between the trimmed white one & the back, so I grabbed some fresh sheets & cut a bunch of random ones. Trying to conserve some of the paper & not just go for the middle of a 12x12 piece of paper, I found it hard to find the deep green options, so this one turned out with the pinks instead, hence the change in background color to Crushed Curry. 

The background is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder & the edges scruffed & sponged with Soft Suede. I layered a piece of Vellum over the hexagon border to give a little more definition the the flower sprig cut with White Glimmer Paper and the Well Written Dies. The Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon was colored with a Crumb Cake Blends Marker to soften the bright marigold. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso using the Waterfront Stamp Set and punched out with the retired Tiny Tags Punch (I love this punch it is soooo cute!). The envelope is stamped with Crushed Curry & the For All Things Stamp Set.

See a Silhouette DSP Flower

This card uses the See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper focusing on the large flower. Tracy & I CASE-d the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog on page 132.

~Enjoy!

This one pretty much copied the catalog piece by piece. The one exception I had is I did not have the die to create a fake embossing effect that was used in the original. A few weeks ago I came up with what I thought was an original idea to use a die and just mark the paper & not cut all the way through, creating faux embossing. Whoopsie! I must have subconsciously seen it somewhere else first, oh well. At the time when I was doing this I had created a white on white card base with the Detailed Peacock Dies feather, so for this card I started with a lot of the work already done!  A few fussy cut flowers from the See a Silhouette DSP is layered with the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. I replaced the "inspire" from the original with "sympathy" from the Well Written Dies. I added a swatch of  Versamark to Basic Black Cardstock and embossing it with Black Embossing Powder and then cut out the words layered on Vellum.

Magnolia Lanes meets Nature's Beauty

This card uses the 1" x 4" strip from Magnolia Lane for a #onesheetwonder

~Enjoy!

---

The background is embossed with the Scripty 3D on Soft Sea Foam and edge inked with Soft Sea Foam. The frame is cut from Frosted Frames Dies and the fox fis from Nature's Beauty and stamped in Basic Gray. I did a little fussy cutting on the fox & he is layered, but you cannot tell from the picture. He is also sporting a cocat of Wink of Stella to give him a little frosty fur. The sentiment is from Well Written Dies and cut from Silver Glimmer Paper. The holly is cut from Mossy Meadow and the Christmas Layers Dies.

Here is the paper cutting template that I obtained from my wonderful group of North Carolina Demonstrators! For the right column however, we just cut one strip that was used on the pink card. Check out Tracy's card where she used the bunny from this set, she also used the same sized strip for this card as I did.

Spring Retreat - All Adorned

Her are some more ideas from my last retreat day. I borrowed my friend Shannon's All Adorned Stamp Set since I was traveling. It make some really spectacular cards!

~Enjoy!

---

This one I started with a CASEd card from Pinterest. I switched out the colors for Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla. The sentiment is from Hello Cupcake. I used the retired Decorative Label Punch and the Bitty Butterfly Punch. The Ribbon is from the Sale-a-Bration Ribbon pack and the butterfly is topped off with some rhinestones. The navy background is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. I just love how this came out!

I loved it so much in fact, I created a second one in red! This one uses the same elements but in Merry Merlot, Memento Black, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla. I used the Everyday Label Punch for the sentiment & it is topped off with the ribbon from my stash. I colored the butterfly's rhinestones with the Cherry Cobbler Blends Marker & then darkened it with the Soft Suede Stampin' Blends Marker. The sentiment is from Firefly.

This last one was switched up a bit using a single line of medallions. The colors are Bermuda Bay, Memento Black, Sahara Sand and Pool Party. The background is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. Happy Birthday is cut from Well Written Dies. A piece of vellum anchors the sentiment and the copper and white Baker's Twine is from Layer Leaves Paper Pumpkin. The butterfly's rhinestones are colored with Bronze Stampin' Blends Markers. It is oh so pretty!
