Guest Designer ~ French Style


Melisa Waldorf is our wonderfully talented guest designer for the month of July. You’re in for another treat as she shares her fabulous French-styled ideas featuring Layers of Color!

Wow! Look at this beauty!  For this card, Melisa used Vintage Roses for the focal point and Touch of Elegance for the feminine French patterning. I especially love the details that make this card shine! The glitter on the urn, the fussy cutting, and using lined and printed paper instead of solid background.  I love how Melisa has used a limited color palette  to make this very attractive greeting. …beautifully done!

Oo, la la, I love this very French-styled gift bag! I’d say this is a present in itself! Melisa has embossed Old World Flourish on the body of the gift bag. Royal Birds and Merci Bouquet are showcased on the lightly distressed scrolled tag in a single color, giving them the look of old French Toile fabric.  And then it’s perfectly topped off with sheer ribbon and a delicate punched edge. C’est tres jolie, Melisa!

May your day have many beautiful layers of color,


“Just Another Week” ~ Gina Johnson


Just Another Week

Our June guest designer, Gina Johnson has created another lovely layout using Layers of Color Old World Flourish art stamp set. I like how she added interesting details like splatters, distressed edges and pen doodling. Notice how she cut around just the bottom half of the stamped design (yellow polkadot paper). So creative, with a cool effect!  Love the layers. Fantastic layout, Gina!

Vintage Rose Paper Shoe


For Mother’s Day I made this vintage style paper shoe

with hand-stamped designer paper made with Layers of Color art stamps.

Vintage Paper Shoe  (6″ long from heel to toe)


Paper shoe template is designed by Ellen Hutson.

I printed the pattern on ivory cardstock.  After cutting out the pattern I stamped each piece with Layers of Color Vintage Roses and Touch of Elegance stamp sets.  I used Martha Stewart decorative scallop edge punch on the heel and upper toe, then distressed the edges and assembled per instructions.  For Vintage Rose Designer Paper tutorial to match this project, see post below.

I placed the rose stamps across the toe like a garland. And added a wired beaded flower as an accent. Glitter would be a sparkling touch!

This vintage shoe makes a great gift container for a sachet, a small bag filled with treats, a note, or a diamond ring, I mean a special gift. You could make one for each place setting at a bridal shower! But this one is for a special mother on Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day! May you be showered with love and feel celebrated!

God Bless,

Thank you, Nina for sharing these fresh Spring cards with us! Now we’re inspired to fly away into our studios to see what emerges from our creative cocoons!
