Hello Fellow Stampers ~
We're baaaacck!! LOL And ready for some more fun! I'm really enjoying exploring each of this Summer's Sale-A-Bration products -- and sharing them with you! I hope I'm giving you some creative inspiration and that you're excited to try some of these ideas out yourself.
Today we're going to take a peek at a stamp set that I absolutely love; but as is always the case for me with this style of stamp set, I struggle to figure out how to create with it. And I really shouldn't -- it's a fabulous style of stamp set; with so much to offer!!
The Feels Like Home stamp set is really a lovely set. The fonts to the sentiments are some of my favorite; and the main image has a lot to offer; especially if you love to color! I'm going to showcase another lovely idea I saw on Pinterest for this set very soon -- so stay tuned!!
I also incorporated a number of new products into this card from our new "Holiday" catalog. There are some items here that I am totally enamored with, and I'll talk about each product in turn.
But let's start with something from the Annual Catalog that I was not necessarily so enamored with - the new Layering Diorama Dies. When I first saw these, I was like, ugh! I just didn't think they were my thing and had no interest . . . . until, of course, I started seeing other fellow demos using them! Yikes! Boy oh boy, has my mind been changed about this set of dies! And so, I quickly snapped up a set VERY recently so I could start using them. And today is my first presentation -- and I can truly say I am now enamored!!
Today's card base is cut from Crumb Cake cardstock - a little different of a choice for me. And I chose to work a brown-on-brown style design (what we call tone-on-tone in the quilting world) with a pop of color cut from a piece of designer paper in the Harvest Meadow DSP collection. So here you see a mat of Basic White for the background rather than the main card base - something that is unusual for me in my designing.
The layering behind the Basic White, and behind the NEW Cork Specialty Paper horizontal strip is the new Kraft Paper. It makes for a nice brown tonal variation through the card layering.
As for that NEW Cork Specialty Paper - Yummy!!! Cork is VERY big in the sewing world right now; I've been seeing it a lot and starting to play with a little. So imagine my surprise when Stampin' Up! brought out a paper made from this material. And it really does feel like my cork fabrics. Even the elements within the cork texture are the same! You will LOVE this new specialty paper!
From there I layered in some of the new Diamond Weave Ribbon for some additional texture; and then popped my beautiful "diorama" stamped image (stamped in Staz-On Saddle Brown ink - one of my favorite inks).
It's all finished off with some of those new Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots - another one of My Favorite Things from this new catalog!!
I love this sentiment from the stamp set - "Your Friendship Feels Like Home to Me" -- isn't that lovely?
