Christi's Creative Crew: Layering Leaves

One of the designer paper offerings in the new annual catalog is Calle Frames & Flowers

This is what Stampin' says about Frames & Flowers

The Frames & Flowers Specialty 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Paper is unlike other patterned paper packs. It has three sheets of double-sided designs with floral and greenery designs on one side and all-purpose patterns on the other. And it also has three sheets of die-cut greenery elements that you can use on card fronts or to frame photos on scrapbook pages. As a fun plus, some of the die-cuts are sized to fit card fronts, making it easy to create quick, beautiful cards. This paper is a must for card makers and scrapbookers!

* 6 sheets of patterned paper: 1 each of 3 double-sided designs and 1 each of 3 single-sided die-cut designs
* 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm)
* Acid free
* Lignin free

I decided to see how many cards I could make out of this paper pack

The first card I made was a sympathy card because I needed to get one sent out ASAP

The rest are a blend of sympathy and care along with some birthday cards.

Some cards I cased exactly, some I changed things up and some I created my own

some of the talented demonstrators that inspired me are

After all was said and done I think I made 35 cards with this $10.00 pack - of course I added extra card stock for bases and layers, and some bling - of course!

When I ran out of the little calypso coral flowers, I decided to make my own twist by sponging Calypso Coral ink onto Basic White card stock and then cut them out with the little flower dies from HEARTS & HUGS and I also used the PETAL PARK Builder Punch

The POISED PEONY Stamp Set is a great addition for these cards.

I used a variety of sentiment stamps:

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

SO SINCERE

ROUND WE GO

LAYERING LEAVES

COURAGE & FAITH

UNBOUNDED LOVE

TRANSLUCENT FLORALS

I also have some elements saved aside to create a beautiful scrapbook page. Can't wait for the perfect pictures so that I can put that together.

I love the color scheme - I used Petal Pink and Lost Lagoon for the most part, but I also used some Pretty Peacock and Soft Seafoam.
