Peachy Paper Piecing Layout with Dana Tatar

Hi! Dana Tatar here with you today sharing a layout that features the Dream Embossing Folder from the Couture Creations Fresh & Fun Collection. Every once in awhile, the scrappy planets align, and I'm able to assemble a layout where the page elements coordinate in a fantastic way. As soon as I saw the Dream Embossing Folder, I immediately knew where to find the piece of patterned paper in my stash that was almost a perfect match!

I had a lot of fun piecing together this colorful embossed design to complement my patterned paper!

I selected three colors of Core'dinations cardstock to match my patterned paper and embossed each of them with the Dream Embossing Folder.

I cut the circles, steams and leaves from the colored cardstock with my Sharp Point Scissors and glued them to a piece of white cardstock that I also embossed with the Dream Embossing Folder.

I used the Celestial Doily Die from the Fantasia Collection to cut some pretty doilies for my layout. I love that this die cuts two doilies at once! I cut the larger lace doily in half and used the pieces to frame my photo.

I used the smaller doily as a journaling spot.

For a finishing touch, I mimicked the dotted print along the stems on my patterned paper around the stems of my flower clusters with Vintage Gold Self Adhesive Gemstones.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Wrapped In Joy Week - Magical Card Set with Dana

Hi! Dana here today sharing a set of Christmas cards for the Wrapped In Joy feature this week. I created two cards with one embossed piece of cardstock and one die-cut doily!

The layers of white cardstock make me think of freshly fallen snow! I kept this card set simple for quick assembly. I added a fun pop of color with layered snowflakes and multicolored twine.

Follow these steps to create this card set:

Step One: Embossing a piece of white cardstock with the A Magical Time Embossing Folder. Cut the embossed piece of cardstock into two even pieces and mount each to the top of a white card base.

Step Two: Cut a piece of white cardstock with the Celestial Doily Die. Cut the doily into two even pieces and mount each doily piece under the embossed piece of cardstock on each card base.

Step Three: Wrap a length of multicolored twine around each card front, covering the seam where the embossed cardstock and doily meet.

Step Four: Embellish each card with a festive snowflake.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
