Stampin’ UP! Leaf Fall 3D and Very Best Trio Punch
It's the fifth Monday of October and that means it's time for the Stamp Review Crew Bonus Hop. We are a group of Stampin' UP! demonstrators sharing a ton of ideas focused on a single stamp set. This week we're featuring the stamp set Cottage Wreaths. You have likely come from Holly Krautkremer’s blog on your way through this amazing hop. If you get lost, simply click on the banner for a list of participants and get back on track.
I hate to repeat myself from my October 25th post, but I’ve always had this thing for wreaths. A wreath can accommodate every season with the right decorations and color choices. Fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas, winter, spring, Easter, summer, Memorial Day, 4th of July - they can all be covered with a wreath and the right accessories. I have bought every stamp set Stampin’ Up! has offered over the years that focus on that circle of leaves called wreaths So why should this set be any different. I did, however decide to make it more modern than in past posts. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Starting from the background, I have several packs of the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper called Silver & Gold. It’s such a versatile neutral color and pattern. And who doesn’t like Silver & Gold? I took a 3” x 5 1/4” piece of the silver dots paper and ran it through the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder. I cut the sheet vertically in half. A 1” x 5 1/4” strip of the silver stripe paper separates the two Silver dot paper.
- Whisper White card stock looked more like Very Vanilla against the stark white of the Designer Series Paper. So I took another piece of the Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper and used the back side for the wreath background and the sentiment.
- The wreath itself is cut from Silver Foil Specialty Paper. The bow is White Glimmer Paper.
- The sentiment is stamped in Silver Embossing Powder. It’s from the Brightest Glow stamp set.
- I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Very Best Trio Punch. Cut your sentiment card stock in two sizes - one in white and one in black 1/8” longer and wider than the sentiment and you end up with the perfect mat for the sentiment. This is definitely a punch you’ll want to add to you stash.
- The accents are Basic Rhinestones.
Very stylish and elegant Mike. Love this.
