Vintage Papaya Collage

I hope you are as excited as I am for the new Stampin' Up! catalog, which begins today!  It is always fun to refresh your stampin' supplies with new and innovative stamps, tools and colors.

One beautiful new set is Papaya Collage, which works beautifully with the vintage style.

I have used 2 of the new In Colors here as well; Raspberry Ripple & Gumball Green.  I stamped off with the green leaflet, meaning I stamped with a freshly inked stamp, then stamped again without re-inking to get the dark, light and very light images.  I like using the edge of my scissors to rough up the edges before "daubing" on the Soft Suede, as you can see on the Very Vanilla frame.  I used my fingers on the embossed Raspberry Ripple to get the worn look.  There is a little bit of fussy cutting on the bird and rose, but not too hard.

Simply Soft Birthday - Mojo Monday 217

Well, it has been a week full of many things to do, including putting away the fall/Thanksgiving decorations and working on getting the house decorated for Christmas, but I did manage to squeeze in some Mojo.

The frame around the flowers is made with a mini embossing folder.  I ran it through the Big Shot and then cut out the impression.  Need a button, but don't have the right color?  My button is made from card stock!  Stampin' Up! has so many great little tools.  This button is made with the Sweet Buttons Embosslits Die (121813) then I put some Crystal Effects on it to make it shine like a real button.  Then all I needed to do was thread a big needle with the linen thread and poke the button holes as I threaded it through.
