Tommy Birthday Card #2

The following Tommy birthday card is very similar to the one I posted yesterday in that I used the same stamps sets from the Cricut Artiste bundle. I added a candle from that stamp set this time and a sentiment from a different stamp set, Card Chatter - Birthday, to the inside of the card. I also used pattern 20, on page 42, from Make it From Your Heart, Volume 1.

As I mentioned in my first post of this series, Tommy came out in the Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book so it is on it's second run in the current catalog. That means it will only be available while the Autumn/Winter 2013 Idea Book is valid, until the end of January 2014. If you're interested in it, you might actually want to purchase it before January though. I know some papers which were not being sold anymore after July, like Later Sk8tr, sold out before July was even over!

Tommy Pattern Nine Scrapbook Layout

Believe it or not, I hadn't touched the Tommy papers even though I had bought them with the release of the Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book all the way back in January. I love them. The colors are vivid and the designs are crisp and bold. Sometimes when I really like a paper pack, I'm afraid of cutting into it. My hoarding tendencies come out and I don't want to ruin the paper. Crazy, no? So, I thought I needed to challenge myself. I decided to try to use my whole pack of Tommy...all at once!

 

For the next several days, I will feature the different items I made using the Tommy Paper Pack. Here's what it looks like and what comes in a pack.

6 – 12" × 12" Cardstock Sheets (2 Desert Sand, 2 Outdoor Denim, 1 Cranberry, 1 Honey)
6 – 12" × 12" B&T Duos® Papers (2 each of 3 double-sided designs)

I used Make It From Your Heart, Volume 1, pattern 9 on page 22 for the following scrapbook layout.

I also used the Tommy Assortment pictured below to add some pizazz to my layout.

7 pieces: 4 printed canvas flags, 2"; 3 adhesive-backed cork labels, 1½"; Cranberry, Outdoor Denim, Honey.

 

Here are both pages of the layout. You can click on any picture to see it a bit larger. The first photo mat should say 7" x 5" and not 5" x 7" but you know what I mean!

Here is a closer view of the left hand page...

The only other item I used besides the Tommy Paper Pack, and the Tommy Assortment was a bit of yellow and white Baker's Twine from the Paradise Assortment. I am waiting for my Harvest Assortment of Baker's Twine to get here. Once it does, I may add some Outdoor Denim and Cranberry Baker's Twine to the layout too. We will see. The pattern in the book suggests adding a title to the bottom left side of the layout but I think I will probably put my title in the upper right hand side after I see how it look with pictures. While I don't have my exact pictures for the layout yet, I am intending to add some beach photos to this layout.

 

I used a little more paper than is called for in the original pattern because I added the red anchor paper in the middle of both of my background papers, just because I liked how it looked!

 

Come back tomorrow for my next project!
