Noel Greetings Paper Pumpkin Kit

Hello again & welcome,

Today I have made a variation with the Noel Greetings Paper Pumpkin Kit which is the kit for October.

The only thing not included in the kit which I have used is the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) which I added to the stamped trees to add some shimmer.

The ink for all the stamping is Mossy Meadow. The Stampin’ Spots now included are the new Premium Stampin’ Spots and are a little bigger than the original spots and with the new felt pads.

I used Tape and Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the elements to the card.

These kits are all inclusive, so great for a quick & easy card and also convenient to take on holidays.

Welcome Noel

Hello again my friends,

I love these cute little houses from the Welcome Noel dies (#168464).

The houses were cut from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012), Barely Blush card (#167690) and Basic Beige card (#164512). These were glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to the Basic White card (#166781) which was cut with the outline dies from the same set.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Sunray Embossing Folder (#169834) - (available in November from the Online Exclusives). Th DSP along the bottom of the card is Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168448).

The trees from the Welcome Noel stamp set (#168462) were stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and cut with the Welcome Noel dies. I added Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) to the trees.

The sentiment is from the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies (#170592) and I used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066). The co-ordinating cutting die was used to cut the sentiement.

I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to add the trees, houses and sentiment to the card. The base card is Basic White.

Hot Foiling

Hello everyone,

I have a range of hot foiled pieces already done, so it makes it quick & easy to put a card together like this one, using the beautiful butterflies from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045).

I used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066) for the butterflies on the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548). The brickwork is from the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048) and using the “leftover” foil with the Reverse Plate (#170043). This was matted with the Red from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Timeless Herringbone Embossing Folder (#169736) - available in the November Online Exclusives. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

“Celebrate” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I used the Red Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170552). This was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The butterflies & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Dies

Hello again friends,

I have been playing with the hot foils today for this card, using the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Dies (#170041).

I used strips of the Gold Hot Foil (#170066), Red Hot Foil (#170552) and Green Hot Foil (#170555) and lay them on an angle and alternating, on the die. I used Basic White card (#166781). This was matted with the Green from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548) and attached to the Basic White base card.

“Love & Hugs” is from the Greenery Lane stamp set (#166870) and stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). The 2 arches were cut with the Everyday Arches dies (#164629). The Red card is also from the Timeless Metallic Specialty DSP.

The bow from the Elegantly Wrapped stamp set (#168474) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with the Elegantly Wrapped die (#168480).

The arches were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the bow. The embellishments are the Flower Accents (#165171).

I will be away for the next few days so will be back later next week.
