The following cards are made with the items I chose for my demonstrator preview order from the Holiday Catalog (HC) earlier this month. Products from this catalog will be available September 1, 2017. If you don't want to wait feel free to contact me about becoming a demonstrator.
Every time I receive a new package of patterned paper I cut one of each 12" x 12" pattern into 7.5" x 12" and 4.5" x 12" strips and put them into a 9" x 12" cello bag. It is so much easier for me to experiment with that 4.5" strip than to think of cutting into a whole 12" square piece.
I haven't yet played with each and every pattern but after a stamping intense play date with one of my friends and downline stampers I feel like I have a good sense of the possibilities that lie within the Painted Autumn DSP package.
Here are some of the cards from the past few days:
- Stamps: Spooky Cat, Teeny Tiny Wishes
- Ink: Early Espresso ink for cats' faces, Crushed Curry and Crumb Cakefor sponging the edges of the cats. This gives them dimension and, along with the use of regular and mini dimensionals helps the eye differentiate between the two cats.
- Paper: Painted Autumn DSP, of course; Wood Textures DSP (I love to use this in skinny layers for that perfect little acent.), So Saffron, Early Espresso, Soft Sky
- Accessories: Cat punch, Layered Leaves 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions embossing folder, enamel shapes (soft subltles), 1/4" Copper Trim, Whisper White embossing powder
- Stamps: Painted Harvest,

- Paper: Painted Autumn DSP, Very Vanilla card base
- Accessories: Stitched Shapes framelit - circle, Leaf Punch, Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim

- Paper: Very Vanilla, Painted Autumn DSP

- This card is mounted on a 5" x 7" purchased card base. I couldn't cut of any of the stamped piece I had done so I just put it on a stash of larger purchased card bases I keep on hand.
That's it for today. I hope you've had a nice little escape to my stamping world. Back to our real world - we're in this together!
