Today I am finishing up a layout from the Inspire Create Connect event I attended over the weekend that featured products from the Traditions of Christmas suite.
I wanted to do it at home because the make n take was using one of the DSP sheets from the Traditions of Christmas DSP as the base and it was just too pretty on the other side to hide it behind a layout so I opted to use a Secret Sea two toned 12x12 instead at home. I stamped it with the Lasting Linen background stamp that is coming to the online exclusive in November with Versamark to give the texture of the DSP in the sample. I also made my own Christmas word collage for the background layer stamping in Secret Sea.
Layout design not only showcases the Traditions of Christmas DSP but also the Greetings for You ephemera, the sentiment’s and dies from Traditional Labels bundle and the Traditional Sparkling sequins embellishments for the extra bling!
For my coordinating pocket page I carried over the florals from the Traditions of Christmas DSP by fussy cutting them from the DSP as well as the Irresistible Designs DSP.
A hidden gem in the annual catalog. What is so special about the Irresistible Designs 12" x 12" DSP is that it has UV-coated patterns that resist ink, making it perfect for emboss-resist techniques. Just apply ink to it and the pattern pops out. It's the easiest way to get a heat-embossed look—no embossing powder or Heat Tool needed!
I have used the criss cross pattern and inked brayer with Pool party and then used Secret Sea marker to colour in sections of the design. For the floral design I pulled the colours from the Traditions of Christmas DSP Real Red, Pretty in Pink and Pool Party to colour the flowers which I thought looked at lot like the poinsettias. This will hold some 4x6 photos from our past holidays.
Happy Stampin’
