The Spot 139 Case the Designer

Happy Tuesday to you all! I hope that you all had an amazing holiday last week! We have done a great job eating left overs and the only thing that is left is that Green Beans Parmesan and I don't mind eating them!

This week the The Spot Creative Team is creating designs by theme CASE The Designer and this week that is ME! I can't wait to see what you all decide to case, I will show you the card I chose. It was really hard to CASE my self and I probably put too much thought into it!

I made this card quite some time ago with the now retired Painted Harvest. I remember mixing the textures for this amazing fall like card. I decided to use the Poinsettia Petals Bundles to recreate this card. Let me show you what I have created!

My card started with the Poinsettia created with Cherry Cobbler ink on our Fluid 100 paper. I then used our Watercolor Pencils to finish it off. I decided to do the same technique with Garden Green and the leaves before die cutting all of it with coordinating dies. I used our new Blending Brushes with Bumblebee ink and created a soft golden back ground before stamping the stems on there too. The wood grain DSP from Poinsettia Place was a nice added touch with the coordinating velum piece. This is accented with the InColor Enamel Dots and Metallic Pearls. The sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake. It sits so nicely on a layer of Cherry Cobbler card stock with a base of Bumblebee!

I can't wait to see what you create!! I am so excited to see what designs of mine inspire YOU!

Third Thursday Holiday Debut Blog Hop

Hey, Hey! It has been a grinding couple of weeks! Who knew that with fair being over that I would still  be having to deal with pig stuff and making sure that record books were done or corrected for State Fair!? Throw in a telehealth appointment with Joshua's Neurologist and maybe some kids bickering and I am glad that the first day school is in sight!

It has been a while since I have hopped with my friends on the 3rd Thursday Blog Hop, but what better a time that to show you some of our new Holiday Catalog goodies.. I have so many favorites in this catalog but for today, I am going to show you the Poinsettia Place Suite!

This suite is absolutely amazing. A stamp set and coordinating dies always gets me excited but throw in some Designer Series Paper and the Plush Poinsettia flocked vellum and this suite is to die for. The dies even coordinate with the Designer Series Paper and the Specialty Paper. 

This card started with Early Espresso stamped images that are colored with Petal Pint and Soft Seafoam Blends and die cut with the coordinating dies. I arranged this on a Stitched Nested Label. This is layered over a wood patterned paper in the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper. It is nicely matted with Sahara Sand card stock and sits on a card base of Soft Seafoam.

To coordinate with my card, I again used the wood pattern from Poinsettia Place. You will notice the Vellum pieces from the Plush Poinsettia Specialty. This box is perfect for gift giving! 

I am so excited for you to see what the rest of the team has whipped up for you today!  Kim Fee is next, her designs are sure to inspire you! You can click the next button below to continue on the hop!
