Copper Embossed Sheltering Tree

I love the monotone look of this card made with Stampin'UP!'s Sheltering Tree stamp set.

. . . and the fact it was achieved by combining 3 different color products. The brown paper is Soft Suede, which coordinates beautifully with Copper Embossing powder. The Petal Pink Metallic Ribbon is a perfect compliment to achieve this overall monotone look. A complete list of products is at the end of the post. Its easy to color coordinate a project when the materials all come from the same company.

The copper embossing powder has a rich creamy look when heat set. Embossing powders all work the same, they contain bits of plastic and metal that you heat set to melt into the paper.  You need something to hold the powder to the paper in the desired pattern. This can be glue or a gooey ink.  Most stampers use Versamark ink to stamp the image. Due to the copper metal in this powder it is more granular and ends up with the beautiful creamy look you see in the picture above.

The Sheltering Tree stamp set has been a favorite. . . Check this card that uses the Rock and Roll technique to color the grass . . . or this spooky Halloween card with googly eyes in the tree.

Sheltering Tree is retiring the end of May, when the current catalog expires.   Click here to see all the retiring product.

Coordination: Colors, Stamps & Paper and Bicycles

Whether its fashion or a sports activity or a creative effort - everyone wants to be well coordinated. And this card showcases several ways you can make sure your paper projects are well-coordinated.

Its always fun when you find a stamp set that coordinates with a Designer paper. The sweet little bicycle is from a stamp set called Sheltering Tree.  And it coordinates perfectly with this sheet of Designer Paper from a pack called Schoolhouse.  Check out the other cool designs included with that pack in the picture below. 

It gets my creative juices flowing looking at all those pretty designs.  Just imagine what you can create with these yummy images.  At first I visualized a few scrapbook pages with the number and letters papers, don't you think they'd look cute on a kids page?  Then the dots and stripes caught my eye and I started thinking about little 3D items. (Its the end of February and my mind is already on Easter projects.) But as I'm writing now I'm staring at that last sheet and its bringing up thoughts of ships and nautical related ideas.  How would you use them?

Color Coordinated too!  This picture shows another way this card is coordinated. The Garden Green ink matches the green bicycle in the paper.  And the Pacific Point blue Candy Dots are a perfect color match for the Pacific Point paper framing the images. The chart below shows the product used on this card.

Spooky Sheltering Tree Halloween Card

Did you ever get that feeling that something was watching you?

Here's a Spooky Halloween card made with the Sheltering Tree Stamp Set.

Sorry its a bad photo - it was taken through the lid of a plastic box. 

Hmm? Maybe that makes it even spookier??

FOR THE EYES: If you want to make this you can get the eyes at any craft store. HELPFUL HINT:  put dabs of liquid glue on the tree and set the eyes on the glue. I did this for a class and we found the Tombow Glue was the best adhesive for the eyes.

  

The "BOO!" is diecut from Black Glimmer Paper using a die from the Boo to You Framelits set. Any large tree stamp with bare branches could give this effect, but I gotta say that the Sheltering Tree Stamp set is really versatile. The sentiments and accessories are designed to go with any season. Here's another card I posted using that set.

And if you've been eyeing this set (pun intended hee hee) then now is a great time to buy because right now Stampin'UP! has a 15% off sale on stamps.

But you better hurry . . . . The sale ends Friday the 23rd.
