Splits: Giving Thanks

Hi! Welcome to day three of the August Papertrey Ink countdown.

Today I bring you another look at the Splits: Giving Thanks stamp set. The is the 7th set in the Splits collection.

I am loving the movement that the swirls of this frame create. Here I've contrasted that with a few solid stripes behind the frame die cut, in a color combo of Scarlet Jewel, Smokey Shadow, and Simply Chartreuse.

I switched out the coordinating sentiment for a "hello" from the Tropics stamp set.

The focus for these two next cards is on using this set in ways other than its original "splits" frame form.

Here I've used both the bottom and top parts and stamped them along the top edge.  It adds such movement! Color combo here... Smokey Shadow, Autumn Rose, and Simply Chartrues.

Also included in the Splits: Giving Thanks stamp set are lots of little leaves and acorns.  These can be used to accent the swirls, embellish the sentiment or on their own. Lots of mixing and matching can happen here!

Here I've taken just one of the leaves and stamped a sort of border on either side of the sentiment. I have a feeling this little figure would make a wonderful bit of hand stamped pattern paper too!

Well, there's a quick look at the Splits: Giving Thanks. Just remember... this stamp set and its coordinating die will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning August 15th.
