Adventure Vignette Tray

Hello Friends,

I am so happy to be here today celebrating the new Palette Multi paper and Palette Ephemera Snippets that were released at the first of the month. I absolutely love the stamps paper that comes in the pack and wanted to show the full rainbow of stamps across the Vignette. If you would like to see the step-outs for this fun project, pop over to the Simon Says Stamp blog for the full tutorial!

Now carry on!

Palette "Snippets" Cards

Hello friends!

The final three colors of our Palette paper series are officially out: Purple, Charcoal, and Multi. Today, I’m diving right into the Palette Multi paper and mixing it with the new Palette Ephemera Snippets.

I'm just going to say it: this may very well be the cutest snippet ephemera we have ever created. There are 135 tiny, intricate pieces in a single pack! (Honestly, I’d buy it just for those darling one-inch tiny slide frames.)

These cards came together so easily using a mix of the new papers and snippets, popped up with foam squares for dimension, and finished off with a few fun extras.

Now lets get started!

I started by cutting Palette Multi paper (8x8") to fit the idea-ology Photo Studio frames. This is a new paper pack that was released along with Charcoal and Purple.

I am making two large and two small. I just used scotch tape on the back to hold the paper in place.

I needed a card base so I am using Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I cut it 1/4" wider and taller than the Photo Studio Frames, then scored it. I sprayed it Antique Linen Distress Spray Stain and used a paper towel to wipe the stain over the surface. Dry with a heat tool to speed up the process.

I also added Gathered Twigs Distress Ink on the edges of the cards to give it a little more dimenson.

Use Simon Says Stamp Tear-iffic Tape to adhere the Photo Studio cards to the card bases.

This is optional...but I took the cards to the sewing machine and stitched around the edge of the Photo Studio frame.

Next I created little clusters with the new Palette Snippets. I just needed a few pieces on each card to make it work. I also added a bit of Cello Sticker Tape and a Clipping sticker to each. String was wrapped around the inside edge and stapled at the top so it stays in place.

NOTE: I placed the Snippets I used, to the right of each card.

This one has an added xo tag from the Word Tags pack. I filled in the tag with Picket Fence Distress Crayon.

I added a purple label and a heart charm to the string on this one.

Here the are - ready for their close up!

You gotta admit - the new snippets are darling!!
now carry on,

paula
