Stamp Off Wood Textures Birthday

Greetings crafting friends.  Susan, Buffy and I are

back for our Friday Stamp Off Challenge!

This week, we are featuring our favorite new SU

Designer Series Papers.  There a number of packs

to pick from, on pages 187-189, so let the fun begin.

I LOVE the new Wood Textures DSP pack on page 187.

The pack of 6x6 papers features different wood textures,

in shades that work well with different cardstock colors,

or work together.  They are stunning.  In this example,

I cut up pieces into 1 inch widths, and glued them into

a ship lap configuration.  I love the ship lap look in homes, 

and found that it works great on cards, too!

 I debated using the grey shaded

piece of wood, but decided that they all worked together.

I tried different cardstock, and decided that the 

Copper Foil sheet (p 194) was the best choice for the

Happy Birthday Thinlits die (on page 213).  It blended with

the Wood Textures, but still stood out.  I built it up by layering it on a die cut of Early Espresso, to add more contrast with the Wood Textures DSP.  

1/4 inch Copper Trim (p 199) worked well with the

color scheme and added more texture to the card.

I now invite you to scoot on over to Buffy and Susan's

blogs, to see what they have done with this challenge.

I'm curious as to whether we all selected the same,

or different DSP packs.  Now's your time to find out!
