 Hey stampers, welcome to another week of watch it weekly Wednesday I'm Beth Olson a part of the stamping gel creative team, and I am excited to be here with you today I don't know if that feels like fall is in the air where you're at, but it's still about a hundred degrees here So I like to pretend that fall is coming because it's my favorite time of the year I think it's mostly my favorite time of the year because of the colors. I love Regal colors that's always been one of my favorite color groups and When I saw the holiday catalog this year the colors from the come-together suite just jumped out at me They are jewel tones and rich and just beautiful, and I hope you love them I thought it was interesting while I was browsing at Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago trying to fill fall in the air conditioning I Found these pumpkins, and I thought it was so cute because they're velvet which I love you guys know I love texture I talk about that all the time, but they're also on trend with the paper colors that we have in our suite We've got the nice pretty peacock, and I'm gonna pretend that this is perpazazz But it's kind of more old olive but it still goes and works really well and then our very vanilla and so I bought these pumpkins is inspiration to Make a cute display for an upcoming get together that we have and I worked on some cards that kind of worked with These colors, so I want to show you What I've come up with we did a card swap and received this beautiful card from Robin Cardin who is an amazing stamper, and I loved her layout, but I also loved her technique of Doing these big large stamping and kind of making it look like she water colored them So I wanted to take this idea her cute cute idea and make it my own By changing it to the colors from the come-together suite of products So what I've done is I've started stamping a little bit already so that I could save a little bit of time But in the gather together stamp set there is this big leaf It's really cute. It's kind of an open Open colored leaf So if you wanted to watercolor in there you could if you wanted to do there are so many Possibilities and it's a nice big size, which I love so I chose the colors from the paper for these leaves I chose pretty peacock pair pizzazz and Mary Merleau which I think Mary Merleau is kind of an unsung hero I really like it and so with these cards. It's been a really fun one to play with So I'm gonna take and finish stamping I'm stamping right here on watercolor paper if you haven't tried our new watercolor paper since the annual catalog came out this Year grab yourself a pack because it is amazing It just colors so well. It's got kind of a Cotton-like texture to it. It's really beautiful to work with So I'm gonna stamp down two more of these leaves Fill in my space there So I've got my leaf collage made and I use the three different colors and the cool technique I love watercoloring, but sometimes it takes a long time We have these spritzers that we sell and I filled this one with water and I'm just gonna spritz this watercolor paper You can do a little So we'll just start maybe with like one or two spritzes and you can see the water will start to travel around a bit You can do a lot if you like that really really saturated look So maybe we'll do a little of the red in that corner and The spritzers are really nice because they're easy to control. It doesn't do a huge spray. It kind of keeps it concentrated in one area All right, here's one that I did about an hour ago Do you see how the colors kind of run together and give you I don't know It kind of gives me like a feeling like I'm looking out my car window at beautiful changing leaves. Just makes me happy So let me show you the finished project Here's what I came up with I thought it turned out really really cute I love the dyes that go along with this suite of products These dyes that cut out the leaves as well as embossing them at the same time That is so so fun and I found a little tip for that if you take your spritzer full of water and you Spritz your paper before you run it through and cut those out you get a deeper impression and kind of a tone-on tone color It's really cool. So you should try it and see what you think So that's what I came up with I wanted to show you some other cards that we've come up with using this sweeter products because I just want you to love It as much as I do Here's when I made using a lot of the leaf dyes and some of our the designer series paper from this suite It is beautiful that peacock and the mint macaron together along with the Cajun craze so so pretty Aubrey made this one She decided to stamp directly on the tags and feather element right here and then dye this feather element Oh with the pretty peacock it turned out so pretty and this is that designer series paper from the suite It's beautiful. I can't say this card is my favorite I was trying really hard to use all of the things from the stamp set and pumpkins I just aren't my favorite thing in a stamp But I thought it turned out pretty cute for something that I kind of struggled working with this little wheat in the background It's life. It's so so so cute. Love it Jill came up with this one one of these really fun fold cards These little dyes with all of the leaves are just so fun to play with they have two three different sizes You can cut them out in different colors and kind of put them on your cards And again that designer series paper is just beautiful Another thing that I didn't show much of was this ribbon comes with this suite of products It's got like a crumb cake thicker ribbon that has a satin finish on the edge And then it has the Cajun craze twine that you can use kind of like a thin twine And I use that on a couple of my projects. Those are fun to play with together. They worked really well So here's the stamp set in the suite. It's called gather together. It's a photopolymer stamp set I think the thing I love the most about this stamp set are the sayings. They're really really sweet You've got kind of bigger ones that have the script in it And then you have ones that are just more of a block font and lots of different ways you can use these Also, there's this really cute little speckle stamp I love when they have those in stamp sets because you can just add it in so many different places So don't forget to order your come-together suite from us You can visit our blog at stamping Jill calm and find the link that says order now and go there for these Beautiful projects so that you can see all the pictures of them.
