August Paper Pumpkin kit

Hello friends,

I have just received my August Paper Pumpkin kit - Kindred Greetings. What I love about Paper Pumpkin is that you have all the instructions to make the cards as they show, or you can change the designs to suit you.

This paper Pumpkin kit includes supplies for 9 cards & envelopes, stamp set, Gray Granite ink spot, adhesive, twine and die cuts.

I have made a couple of small changes to these cards but will do some alternatives as soon as I get some time.

Scenic Coast Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again everyone,

Another quick & easy card while I am away and a great masculine card.

For the background I used the beautiful Scenic Coast Specialty Paper (#167773) which has a lovely shimmer to it. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The boat was cut with the Sunset Coast dies (#167780), then I used a circle die from the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580). I used the Lunar Lustre paper (#167199) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) for this. The Lunar Lustre paper is on special in the Last Chance products.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I used the Silver Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170067), then cut it with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The sentiment was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Moonlit Flora Suite Collection

Hello friends,

I have used the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper (#167737) on this card along with other products from the Moonlit Flora Suite Collection (#167749)

I dry embossed the Berry Burst card (#144249) with the Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder (#167744) then attached the DSP.

The leaves were cut with the Fern & Flora dies (#168991) from Soft Sea Foam card (#147012), Old Olive card (#106576) and Bubble Bath card (#161727). These 3 cards were backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) making them easy to attach to the card.

“Thank You” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil dies (#170042) and I foiled this using the Light Pink Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170553), then it was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die. This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper

Hi everyone,

A sneak peek today of the gorgeous Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper (#168548) from the upcoming catalogue. This paper is in red, green & gold and has a beautiful metallic shine, and all used on this card. It also works beautifully with the hot foiling which I have used on the butterfly & sentiment. I just love the results which look much better in real life.

I used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066) for the butterfly & sentiment. The butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) and was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die from the same set. “Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil dies (#170042) and also cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The Soft Sea Foam card front (#147012) was Gold foiled with the Swiss Dots Hot Foil Dies (#170075) and I matted this with Real Red card (#106578) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The leaves were cut with the cutting dies also from the Butterfly Flight dies and I attached these to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The butterfly & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone,

Sorry for my absence the last couple of days, but I am away for a few days visiting family. I brought some bits and pieces with me to do some cards if & when I had a chance, so here is today’s easy card.

The scene is from the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper (#167920) and I matted this with Pecan Pie card (#161726). I dry embossed the Shaded Spruce card (#147006) with the (retired) Birch Wood Embossing Folder and attached this to the Basic White base card (#166781). The matted DSP was attached on top.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I used the Copper Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#1700553). This was then cut with the co-ordinating cutting dies from the Classic Greetings dies. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the sentiment.

I have done a range of the sentiments from this set with various colours of the Hot Foil and put them aside ready to use on a card, so I don't have to heat the machine for just one sentiment. Very convenient. Also you can fit a few of the sentiments on the machine at one time.
