Florentine Paper Pack

Florentine is one of my new FAVORITE paper packs!
Florentine Paper pack X7153B
I love the neutral tones that will coordinate with so many occasions!  You could use this paper pack for wedding, heritage, outdoors, family, and the list goes on! J
I was a part of a swap a few month’s back and still have some artwork to share with you! J Yay!!!

These items below were created by fellow consultant Lisa Combs and she used the Florentine paper pack along with some of our new embellishments.

I love the many ways she used this paper pack and the FUN new embellishments she used with the Florentine paper pack. 
My favorite item was the new die-cut card design…take a look.

I love this new style of card, but I loved how Lisa double matted her wording on the front of the card.  The stamp set that she used is on pg. 98 and called “The Best Things”.

Take notice of her closure…

she used a flower from the Bouquet Assortment and some of our new Baker’s Twine!  How clever!

Since this is a favorite paper pack of mine, I did create a few things using this pack as well. J
First, we have a two page layout…the layout pattern is taken from the Magic book, pg.80 the pattern called “Charmed”. 
**Remember, these how-to books are while supplies last!  ***

I used flower 8 from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, and added some texture to it…here’s a close up….

I used the stamp set Universal Backgrounds” to add the wording, and then sponged everything in Crème Brulee ink.  The leaves and the swirls came from the stamp set called “Kick Back”…I LOVE this stamp set!
I used two NEW embellishments for the center of the flowers…Round Durables, and the pre-adhesive Pewter Badges

For the other page, I used more stamped images from the Kick Back stamp set and cut a few of them out.
I had fun stamping the SUN stamp inside the Relax wording…









I also created a notebook with Florentine for one of my secret sister gifts on the Hawaiian Cruise.

The neutral tones go with so much!  I just kept it simple and used the saying from the “Kick Back” stamp set.  I also used the new dark chocolate velvet rub-ons!  I was amazed at how EASY it these were to use!
Inside, I again kept it simple.  I wanted to add a cute jumbo paper clip to the pocket…so I cut out a few scalloped circles using our 2” scallop circle punch.  I then used the Art Philosophy cartridge to cut out the rest of the pieces to create a “fancy” paper clip.  The star and swirls were stamped with our “Love Life” stamp set.

I hope you get a chance to create this week! Feel free to drop me a comment and I’d love to have you share your ideas and work with me as well!
Blessings to YOU,

Here are some more details with the two cards shown above…

March SOTM - Potential cardFor the first card, I used the How-To Book “Wishes”.  The pattern is called “On the Edge” and is shown on page 53. 

For the card base, I used grey wool ink on my image, but used the 2nd generation ink to make it a subtle image. 

Sponging all the edges in grey wool really give it a nice finishing touch.

I love the card SHAPE…and you can get this shape too!  We carry these card designs in a pack of 10…AND it included envelopes!  You will receive these 3 1/2” x 8” cards in a pack of 10 with the die-cut edge for only $6.95!!! 

I also used our NEW Pewter Badge Buttons to finish off the ribbon!  These pewter badges are GREAT!!!  They are self adhesive – with a VERY sticky adhesive!  This badge will NOT be coming off of this bow!  I really appreciate how CTMH has added adhesive backs to sooo many of your embellishments!!!  Yayy! J

I hope you enjoyed the cards and I ENCOURAGE you to create some artwork of your own!!!
