Noel Greetings Paper Pumpkin

 Hi again friends,

Perfect timing with the delivery today of the October Paper Pumpkin kit as I arrived home from a few days away. So here is a quick & easy card from the kit, making one of the cards as shown in the instructions. I like to follow the instructions for the first card, then make variations for the others.

The kit is the Noel Greetings Paper Pumpkin which you will make 2 different Christmas cards.

This kit has supplies for 10 cards of 2 designs, 10 envelopes, die cuts, stamp set, adhesives and a Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Spot. 

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly crafting subscription kit which is all inclusive, so everything is included for that month’s projects. You can purchase the kits month by month, 3 monthly, 6 monthly or 12 monthly. As a subscriber you then have access to refills, past kits and add ons.

It’s always a surprise when you open your kit to find what’s inside.

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.

Shining Stars Dies

Hi friends,

The Shining Stars dies (#168600) are the October Product Of The Month. These are available with a qualifying $125 order (in Australia) for just $9. With such a great deal I’m sure these will sell out quickly so don't waste time if you would like these fantastic dies. There are 23 dies in the set.

The gold stars were cut from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548) and I used the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168197) for the white star.

For the card front I used the Swiss Dots Hot Foil Dies (#170075) and Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170066). This was matted with Real Red card (#106578) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The sentiment is from the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies (#170592) & the Gold Foil was also used.

I attached the larger stars together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). Then these were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The small stars were attached with Mini Glue Dots and the sentiment with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies

 Hello friends,

This beautiful butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) and I have used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066).

This butterfly was foiled onto the Red from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548) and cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The brickwork from the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048) was also hot foiled with Gold on Very Vanilla card (#166785). On another piece of Very Vanilla card I used a die from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies (#166974) to cut the “window”, then dry embossed the card with the (retired) Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder. This was attached to the card with the bricks, then matted with Real Red card (#106578). The base card is Very Vanilla.

For the leaves I used a die from Nature’s Symphony with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I only used part of the leafy image. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the leaves to the card.

“Best Wishes” is from the Elegantly Wrapped stamp set (#168474) and I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and used the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Stylish Shapes die (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment.

Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies

 Hi everyone,

I am back after a couple of really busy days, so I’m sorry for my absence. Today I am using the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies (#170558) with Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066).

I used Peaceful Pine Two-Tone card (#167698), Crushed Curry card (#131288) and Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) for the leaves. I used the Two Tone card for the reverse image as this is smoother and works better for the reverse image. All the leaves were cut with the cutting dies from the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies. When I foiled the reverse image there is some excess gold around the edges so I cut the smaller leaves from that foil. I don't like to waste any of this beautiful hot foil.

The sentiment is from the retired Beautiful Motifs stamp set and stamped with Peaceful Pine ink (#167679).

I used the (retired) Eyelet Blooms Die for the Very Vanilla card front (#166785) and matted this with Peaceful Pine card (#167692) and attached it to the Very Vanilla base card.

I stamped the vertical strip of Very Vanilla card with an image from the Echos Of Detail stamp set (#170046) using Basic Beige ink (#163806). This was matted with Crushed Curry card. The sentiment was matted with Peaceful Pine card.

The leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

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