Variations on a Whole Lot of Lovely and Just Add Text Theme

While I have featured this paper before I think I better do it one more time with some additional cards. It's plainly a Whole Lot of Lovely!  I just checked before I hit publish on this post and alas it is no longer available.  If you were lucky enough to snag some here are some possibilities:

This first card also features the Jars of Love stamps and thinlets (not retiring) because who couldn't resist putting saving some of those fresh looking peaches in a jar!

• A thin layer of Tranquil Tide polishes the trimmed edge card's front.
• A little bit of Black and White washi tape finishes it off.

Here I used the same layout but added the Just Add Text set which is also retiring. This has been one of my favorite sets to use with this lovely paper.

This color combination is Powder Pink with Basic Black.

These two cards were my swaps at the November 2017 Onstage. They were previously blogged about here. They also use the Just Add Text set with Whole Lot of Lovely paper.

I'm kind of an addict to word sets and this is one of my favorites! While the DSP is gone the Just Add Text set is still available  in clear or wood mount.

 

 

Just Add Text with Whole Lot of Lovely Duo

I'm out in Salt Lake City, ready to enjoy Onstage Live and thought I would share my swaps.

I was playing with these while the DSP papers were on special in October.

I'm usually not crazy about card sketches with diagonals but a card similar to this caught my eye.  It proved trickier than I though to get just the right pattern, angles and proportions but once I hit on this one featuring the floral print from the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Paper Series I knew I would use it for my swap. It also gave me the perfect setting for this sweet greeting from Just Add Text.

Hints:

• Whisper White Thick Card Stock and Peekaboo Peach, Whole Lot of Lovely DSP
• Flower is from Jar of Love Peekaboo Peach + Melon Mambo + Basic Black on Peekaboo Peach CS applied with a dimensional.
• Leaves are from Oh So Eclectic Bundle but you could use another: Pear Pizzazz on Pear Pizzazz
• White layer measures 2" on top, 3.5" on the bottom
• The top part of the Peekaboo Peach layer measures 1.75" though a bit of it is under the white layer.  These triangles were cut from a 3.75 strip of card stock.  Once I got the pieces figured out I used some washi tape on my trimmer to easily replicate the pieces.
• I cut strips of DSP that were 1 5/8 -1.75" - it's not too fussy as the white layer goes over it.

This variation has the same papers and stamps and uses Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Peekaboo Peach and Soft Sky Markers.  There is a little Wink of Stella and  few pearls too. 3/4" is cut from the right edge of the card with a 1" layer of DSP on the inside edge.

 

Already to swap!!
