Joy of Sets--That's FONT-astic!

Thank you so much for hopping along with The Joy of Sets team this month! If I am your first stop, welcome, and have fun seeing all the creative ways we are using FONTS!

A big thank you Joy of Sets team for such a unique Blog Hop Theme! I had a lot of fun creating my project featuring FONTS and how they can help bring your projects alive. I wanted to create a scrapbook page as it gives you the space to use a variety of FONTS on your project.

On this page I used 5 different fonts, 4 from stamp sets and one from the Playful Alphabet dies! I love the unexpected combo of fonts!

I used the Peony Garden DSP as my color palette and then decided to add in some soft purples to pull in the color from the lilac bush in our picture. I always look at some angle to get my photo to coordinate with the colors of my scrapbooking.

Always is stamped in Smoky Slate using the Field of Flowers stamp set from the Annual Catalogue. Smile is cut in Blushing Bride and is lifted using the Adhesive Sheets. Quite possibly my FAVORITE accessory in the new catalogue, at the moment at least!

I Like You A Lot is also stamped with Smoky Slate ink on Highland Heather card stock. You can find this phrase in the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set. I used a retired scallop boarder punch (gasp, yes, I don’t sell everything! Somethings I love too much to get rid of, even if they are retired!) to highlight the sentiment and paired it on top of the of Label Me Lovely punch that I trimmed down.

The embellishments in the corner are the new Elegant Faceted Gems. Now when you look at them in the catalogue on pg 157, it looks like you get a light green gem, you DON’T—its actually the clear gem appearing that way because of the background it was photographed on. I wanted to point out because I don’t using ‘read’ stuff, I am a visual person!

I decided this page was taking on an elegant feel and it needed something to fill the white space but not be distracting at the same time. I ended up using the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks with the Shimmery White embossing paste. I love the feel and texture it gave the page. I added in a small strip a DSP in a Purple Posy pattern to keep the purple flowing down the page. It is from the Playing With Patterns DSP.

Happy Day is from the much overlooked, in my opinion, stamp set called Friend Like You in the annual catalogue. And the accompanying sentiment is from the Forever Blossoms stamp set. This set holds a special place in my heart as it was one of the stamp sets I used when I presented at On Stage in November of 2019.

The Highland Heather die cut flowers are from the Many Layered Blossoms dies in the Annual Catalogue.
