Twelve Weeks of Christmas: Week 10 / Garden Walk

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’ll be sharing my Twelve Weeks of Christmas: Week 10 Video along with the individual cards, including a brand new one not shown during the video!! I’m highlighting the amazing and versatile Garden Walk Designer Series paper. You’ll see quick cards, split cards and ways to highlight it. Teamed with the designer paper is the Throughout the Year stamp set. Grab your coffee and let’s take a look at the video ….

Yesterday I shared the poinsettia card, here is a reminder …

Just to help you see different patterns from the designer paper and different styles of cards! Next up is a collage of banners that’s backlit with some brushed color ….

You got to hear how each of these were made so I won’t be covering that here. Our next 2 cards were created when I cut down the 6 x 6 designer paper into 4 – 3 x 3 sheets. Our first is super simple to create and is a great layout when you need to make many cards quickly ….

Next is the second of those 4 – 3 x 3 inch squared and is created with one of my favorite / simple card techniques: Split Cards! Simply cut from corner to corner diagonally ….

And lastly … this card was created with the help of the Patchwork Pieces dies. Don’t ever be afraid to pull out those dies and experiment! You just may fall in love with your creation ….

With yet another pretty pattern, your creativity can soar and choosing a color pattern is easy, just follow what’s in the paper. My card base is the Calypso Coral which was embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder. I wanted some texture on my card, and this made it easy.

Once I die cut the Garden Walk designer paper with the Patchwork Pieces dies, I mounted it onto Pretty Peacock cardstock … I wouldn’t have put these two colors together myself, but they sure do look good together.

My greeting was stamped in Pretty Peacock and die cut with the Stylish Shapes dies. I then grabbed a flower from another die set to embellish my card.

Creating all of these cards with the combined elements of Garden Walk Designer paper and the Throughout the Year stamp set brings out the magic of both the paper and stamp set. Add these to your wish list and let your creativity flow!

Thank you for joining me today … I hope you enjoyed this showcase
