Hi friends! Happy Saturday! We just had to reshare this gorgeous make showcasing beautiful Tim Holtz Palette Fabric! Our friend and special guest Nichol Spohr was SO inspired, she used this palette as the previously released Red Palette to make these gorgeous stars! Want to give them a go for yourself? Read on to hear more from Nichol as well as the patterns she used!

I used a couple of different star patterns for these. The patchwork stars were made with one of my favorite patterns from Fig Tree Quilts. The smaller stars were created using a free downloadable template I found online. Of course, you can always use any star template you have on hand, star-shaped dies work great too! I sewed Tim’s Idea-ology buttons in the center to extra embellishment. The stars were sew with right sides facing out, leaving the raw edges showing and then roughed up with some scissors for a rustic, primitive look.

Hi friends! Heather Hoffman here to share a bright and summery set of cards featuring the perfect summer set, and a fresh color combo that just screams tropical vacation happiness! I also used a fun double stamping and heat embossing technique to make these amazing images POP! Keep reading to find out how!

I love the Keep Palm set that released a little earlier this year, and thought it would be fun to feature the main large frame image in a couple different ways. And I knew I wanted to use a tropical teal color, and was trying to pick what to pair with it, and when I noticed that yellow cardstock on my desk that I had die cut with one of the Grandstand Frames dies, I knew it was perfect! I knew I wanted to use both the positive and negative, so I set off to stamp them both. The two cardstocks are Simon Says Stamp Honey and Gina K Emerald Isles.

For the shaker card, I stamped that frame image on a white cardbase with Tropic ink, then using a MISTI for perfect placement, I stamped again with Clear Embossing ink over the top, then clear heat embossed. Then I did a bit of ink blending over the top with Tidepool ink, and a bit more of that same Tropic ink for the very edges for good depth. For the other card, I wanted to make sure that image popped really well on the yellow, so I tried something new! I first stamped over the top with white pigment ink, then using the MISTI again, I stamped right over the white pigment ink with that same Tropic ink, and then clear heat embossed again. The white pigment ink gave it a base to shine over the top of the yellow cardstock!

Next, I created the shaker element for the first card, adding a slightly smaller white frame to help it all pop, then filling it with lovely Baby’s Breath Embellishment mix. For the other card, I die cut a slightly larger layer of white cardstock, then wrapped some May Arts white ribbon around and tied in a bow.

The shaker card felt like it needed some more interest, so I stamped several images from the set the same way as the inside so they were heat embossed, and blended some of the same inks over top after die cutting. I arranged those in one corner and adhered with liquid adhesive. I also stamped a couple of sentiments from the Keep Palm stamp set in Nocturne ink, and die cut those, popping up with foam on each one. Finishing touch was a few Dazzling Clear Gems for a touch more sparkle!

What is your favorite summer color combo? I would love to hear what color combo you would create these cards in!
