This is such a creative use of Pocket Silhouettes! And of course I always like the fresh look of a "clean & simple" approach. I CASEd and tweaked from something I saw on Joanne Friend's post on our demonstrator web site. The sentiment from Welcome Christmas was perfect, suggesting a medallion with a single, simple impression. Cherry Cobbler has become my favorite color this year, but even if that weren't so a simple knot of the scallop dots ribbon gives the composition "pop".
I hope you can find simple solutions to your many tasks in the coming days. -Kathy
As promised, here are a couple more examples of how you might use Pocket Silhouettes. As you can see, the images can easily be featured individually or in a group, and lend themselves to unlimited color combinations (although I must confess that Not Quite Navy with Old Olive is my personal favorite). Both use ribbon in a very similar way, but it's interesting how different the overall look can be.
Thanks to fellow demo Lisa for prepping the pieces for the second card design as we worked with this set one afternoon. -Kathy
The Olathe hostess for April fell in love with waterfall cards, and I can certainly understand why... it's not everyday you find a card that can do somersaults! Guys and kids are especially impressed with these. You can find a nice little review tutorial at dawn griffith waterfall card.
To make a landscape background, we used the branch from Easter Blossoms, the humming bird from Elements of Style, and - did you recognize it? - Pocket Silhouettes for the foliage along the bottom. If you thought you noticed a bit of shimmer there as well, you're correct - I demonstrated the faux mother-of-pearl technique using Stampin' Up's versatile Shimmer Paint on glossy cardstock. It adds just the right amount of subtle shine. IMHO, of course! -Kathy
Our hostess for April asked if we could do two things: First, focus on ways to use the stamp set "Pocket Silhouettes"; and second, create some thank you cards to make available to cancer patients. So we made three cards this month.
The first example uses a quick template created with a punch and a scrap of chipboard to anchor the images in a patch of color applied directly to the card. These single-layer cards are so quick to whip out that we made two, one to keep and one to give away.
We also made the card in the second photograph (using buttons in place of grommits), adding a bit of layering in different colors to give it another look entirely.
Stay tuned and I'll post a couple of additional examples of cards made with this very versatile set.
