October's Workshop...just a little behind....

I'm just a little behind posting my latest workshops. So this post will be featuring our October Workshop which features the Huntington paper pack (which retired this month).  We made a 2-page layout, a set of 6 tags (2 each of 3 designs) and a "thankful" banner.

The 2-page layout was inspired by CTMH's Artbooking cartridge.  I had taken the woodgrain 1/2 overlay to each side of the layout.  Then using my Gypsy, stretched one of the photo mats across the bottom of the page for the title.  I also stamped the woodgrain image all over the stretched photo mats.  Using the Gyspy I welded the word "Leaves" for my title.

the woodgrain stamp is exclusive to the Huntington Workshop On the Go (sorry it is retired)

the right page....I used Real Dial Size for the twig & leaves...

The tags used the Thank you single stamp that were new this year.  I just love the outlined letters...ended up purchasing the whole alphas so I could stamp any word I wanted like this.  I used the Champagne cardstock for the base which was cut out by the cricut - I used my Gypsy so I could tell it how tall and how wide I wanted the image to be because I wanted to be able to put all six tags on one 12x12 cardstock so I think the final size ended up being 3x5.  I also cut out several leaves (2 different styles) from CTMH's Art Philosophy cartridge and the "tree" is actually using the "vein" layer of one of the leaves.



Stamped the "thank you" in first and second generation all over the base.



used 1", 3/4" & 1/2" circle punches for the "leaves"



used the negative woodgrain from the overlays to create the background

The banner also was created using the Gypsy.  Again, I wanted to only use one 12x12 cardstock, so I sized accordingly to get all my pieces to fit.  I think the final size was 2 1/2"x5 1/2".  The banner, letters & swirls were all cut from CTMH's Art Philosophy cartridge.



the wood elements are from the Huntington Accessory pack



Thanks for stopping by!  These colors are out of my element to work with, but I really liked how the projects turned out.
