Aspens Of Gratitude Alternative

Hi everyone,

I have used one of the cards from the Aspens Of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Kit to make this quick & easy Christmas card.

I used the Copper Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170553) for the deer from the Graceful Evergreen Deer Hot Foil Dies (#170566) and also the sentiment using the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies (#170592). The deer and sentiment were cut with the co-ordinating dies.

I attached the sentiment and 2 of the deer to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and the other 2 deer were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add some glimmer to the pine trees.

Aspens Of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Kit

Hi again friends,

Each month there is a new Paper Pumpkin Kit available and this month it is the Aspens Of Gratitude. I have made the 2 cards from this kit with a slight variation on each. The beauty of these kits is that you can assemble the cards exactly as shown in the instructions of the kit or change them to suit you.

The card fronts are printed with the trees, then the other elements are added.

I stamped the leaves from the stamp set which is included in the kit with the Early Espresso ink, also included in the kit. I then fussy cut the leaves and coloured them with the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush (#167662).

The sentiments are stamped with the Early Espresso ink. “Best Wishes” is from the Elegantly Wrapped stamp set (#168474) and the “Thank you so much” is from the kit.

The sentiments, leaves and brown die cut pieces were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots, all from the kit. The embellishments are also from the kit.

Pretty Poinsettia Dies

Hello again friends,

I love the poinsettia from the Pretty Poinsettia dies (#168146) so have made the flowers white for this Birthday card for something different.

The flower and leaves from these dies are impressions dies, which means to get a deeper emboss, you use an Impressions plate (#167767) after cutting with the dies. I used Basic White card (#166781) and Soft Sea Foam card (#147012). I daubered some Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) around the edges of the Soft Sea Foam leaves. The layers were attached together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the flower and leaves.

The silver leaves were cut with a Beautifully Celebrated die (#166974) from Silver Foil Sheet (#163387) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The sentiments are from the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies (#170052). These dies include the cutting dies to cut the sentiments. I used Silver Stampin’ Hot foil (#170067).

I matted the Basic White card front with Soft Sea Foam card and attached it to the Basic White base card. I cut strips of the Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167947) and taped them to the card front. The flower was attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) and the sentiments with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108), which were cut in half. The adhesive backed leaves were attached to the card.

I have used Very Vanilla card (#166785). I cut the card front with a die from the Beautifully Celebrated dies (#166974), then dry embossed this with the Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder (#168220). This was attached to the card with the Hot Foil bricks.

The flower & leaves are from the now retired Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack. I coloured the flower with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675) and the leaf with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885). The flower was attached to the card with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional (#144108) and the leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Thinking Of You” is from the Friendly Foliage stamp set (#167021). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). A Stylish Shapes Die (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment and this was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are the Gold Adhesive Backed Dots (#168467).
