Spiced Paisley in the Park

Another New York layout, again using Spiced Paisley stamps and the Spice Cake papers.  I love how these papers have a mixture of colours and patterns that are both suited to masculine and feminine projects.

The photo is taken at Battery Park, New York where we took a boat to see the Statue of Liberty.  It was a pretty grim day, a little damp and dreary and those hot nuts were just too inviting!  The park was full of squirrels which were amazingly tame and very cheeky!

We used the Fun Flowers die to create the flower rosette in the middle of the layout adding some of that gorgeous spotted scallop ribbon in co-ordinating More Mustard.

The word "Park" is die cut using the "Alphabet Simple Letters" set which is perfect for Scrapbooking.

Petal Cone Die

Here is the first project from this month's Big Shot Class, we concentrated on using the Petal Cone Bigz Die and in total we created two cards and this gorgeous cone shaped box.

My colour combo was inspired by the new "Spice Cake" designer papers and consists of Soft Suede, More Mustard and Pool Party.

The greeting flag is also part of the Petal Cone die and is I have used this so much recently on my projects.

More new products here, the Spiced Paisley stamp set which is just so versatile.  Here we stamped and layered two different stamps in Soft Suede and More Mustard, punched them out using co-ordinating Circle Punches then die cut that gorgeous Scallop Circle from the Perfect Penants Bigz Die in Pool Party cardstock, just so simple but perfect for this cone.

Here is how it opens:

The Pool Party scalloped edges around the top of the cone are also die cut from the same Petal Cone die, it couldn't get easier!!

To finish we punched holes and threaded Seam Binding ribbon through to secure.

Back later with the other Big Shot projects.
