Well, today is another stamp release from A Creative Journey with Melissa! I am just so excited for her. I made two projects using her stamp set, Petals for You. I made a card for Valentine's Day using the print and cut method on the Silhouette Cameo. I stamped the flower and leaves and scanned them into my computer. I then traced them with the Cameo using the Silhouette Studio Deluxe software and made svg's. I cut out the flowers, embossed and colored with Pan Pastels. I used some Stickles and brushed it around the middle petals and then I accessorized with pearls. Papers were from DCWV.
For my next project, I made a two-page layout of my daughter, Jenny. She is now 28, so this was a fun one to make! I decided all white background and then add color. I very much like this look as it is clean and sharp. I used my Cameo to do the print and cut for the flowers as in the card above; I also cut out the letters and numbers on the Cameo using Lavenderia Font.
For the flowers, I softened the paper fibers until I could mold them the way I wanted to. Around the edges of the photo mats, I used distress ink to give it a dimmensional look to the project. I used Stickles on the edges of the flowers. And, of course, I had to use some bling.
The 12x12 white embossed papers were from CTMH from years ago.....does anyone remember them? Around the edges of the 12x12 I used a ribbon tape. Both layouts were "Jenny" approved and I am thrilled at how they turned out.
Please go to A Creative Journey with Melissa and order your stamps today!
