Patterned Paper Stamp Camp

OK - In addition to being a ribbon junkie, I'm also totally hooked on Stampin' Up!'s patterned paper! I just can't get enough of it! What better than to incorporate my addiction into the June Stamp Camp?!?

For this stamp camp we will be working with 3 basic layouts and doing 2 versions of each one. One version will feature one collection of patterned paper and the other version will feature a different collection of patterned paper. I think sometimes we (me included) see a card that we like and get locked in on the specifics of that card. By using the same layout and stamp sets, you get to see just how a simple switch of the patterned paper can change the look of a card.

Here's a first look at one of the pairs of projects we'll be doing. The original (the one on the right) was CASE'd from a card that Jackie Wright posted on SCS. It uses a color combination inspired by the Ginger Blossom collection of patterned paper - Chocolate Chip, Groovy Guava, and Ruby Red. The alternate version - the one of the right - uses the Fall Flowers collection of patterned paper and the coordinating color combination of Old Olive, Sahara Sand, and Soft Sky.

You can't really tell in the pic, but each card base was stamped with the Canvas background stamp and embossed with clear embossing powder. It really gives it a glossy look in real life. Hopefully my gals will enjoy this stamp camp and the variety of projects we'll be making with patterned paper!
