Evening Evergreen

Boy, I really am behind! Thank you for hanging with me while I catch up on so many things that I have made over the last several months and haven't found the time to write a blog post about. Anyone want to be my accountability partner? I think I could really use one! I am working on being better though~

I did these cards for my In Color Club where you get ink pad, cardstock, markers, blends, ribbon and other goodies each month for one of the new In Colors. Evening Evergreen was the last of the 5 colors this time around and here are 3 cards that I made with this color as the focus.

This one starts with Evening Evergreen as the base color. I then paired it with some Soft Succulent and Sahara Sand for a simple and striking Christmas card.

Tailor Tag Punch

I had some more fabulous fun with the tailor tag punch! I'm telling you, if you don't own this punch, get it! It's so fantastic! I can't believe how long I waited to get it and how many different things I have been able to create with this punch.

I punched a piece of vellum with the punch. I used vellum because I wanted to be able to see where I was lining up the shapes. I then laid the vellum on my cardstock and used the water color pencils to trace around the image to create the beginnings of the background. I then used my water painter to pull the color from the tracing into the image. I did have to add some color as I didn't have enough on the edge.

I love the way this one turned out. I cut the tailor tag punch in half and adhered them to a piece of cardstock so that they would create a circle looking shape. I then die cut them so that they did make a circle. There is a space in the center that doesn't have anything. I covered that with the greeting that I die cut too.

This card was also created with halves of the tailor tag punch. I punched them and then cut them in half. I alternated between the wider part being up and down as well as the patterns on the paper. I adhered these pieces to a strip of Night of Navy.

I've said it before, YOU NEED THIS PUNCH! It's amazing what can be done. I have more ideas that I haven't had time to put together. Maybe soon I can do that but time is not something I have a lot of extra of, neither do you, I'm sure!

Handsomely Suited

Handsomely Suited is an intriguing set to me. There is so much that you can do with the dies. I need to take some more time and play with this set and dies more. I created these cards for a class that I did a bit ago but I haven't done much other than these. Hoping I can find some more time to get this set out and play with it a bit more.

I used the Well Suited designer series paper for the background on these cards. The third tie is heat embossed with white embossing powder on Night of Navy cardstock.

This is a Z fold card. The front flap folds back on it's self. This fold gives a card a different feel without much extra effort. The designer series paper helps take this card to another level also.

Now for more time consuming card. This card is a bit putzy because of all the die cutting and then adhering of those die cut pieces. The Basic Gray part of this card is folded normally. I die cut the V from the front of this card before adding the lapel and pocket.

When you open the card you get the shirt, tie and suspenders. I realized after I had adhered the silver clips that they needed to be lower on the suspenders. This also opens up so you have a place to write your greeting.

Anyone want to come over and play with this set with me? What would you make? I have a bunch of ideas and getting together may help me get them out of my head and onto paper!

The supplies listed below will take you to my online store so you can purchase the supplies to create these and other cards.

Happy Stampin'!
