Gold Wonderland

More Wonderland in Gold this time, so many possibilities with this stamp set and Vellum Stack!

This Dotted Gold Vellum was embossed with Gold embossing powder.  Be careful when embossing Vellum, keep the Heat Gun as far away as possible to avoid scorching.  Softly Falling provides a Snowy background and the Gold Glitter ribbon is stunning!  Peace was cut from Gold Foil paper and Pearls are the perfect accent.

On this card I used the Woodland Embossing folder on Black card stock and then sponged with some White Craft ink.  The Trees were embossed in Gold and then trimmed close and popped up.  Wonderland Washi tape decorates the bottom.  The Sentiment was embossed in Gold and Cut with a Project Life Framelit.  Stunning cards!!

Brighter Leaves

Here are 3 more Lighthearted Leaf Designs.  Perfect for Birthdays and any Occasion!  I'll be focusing on Christmas cards this next week, hard to believe it is almost November and time sure is flying by.  The Royals playing in October is fabulous, but it messes with my SU schedule!! 

I love this color combo!!  Mint Macaron card base, Mint Macaron, Rich Razzleberry and Tip Top Taupe inks.  Mint Macaron Lace ribbon is twisted and anchored with scotch tape. 

Crushed Curry card base, Hello Honey, Pumpkin Pie and Tip Top Taupe ink.  Linen Thread.  Washi Label punch used to flag ends on sentiment.

Pear Pizzazz card base, Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder, Smoky Slate and So Saffron inks.

Lighthearted Leaves Many Ways

I posted a card similar to this, but wanted to show you more color combos and the versatility of this stamp set.  After the late night Royals game I napped the afternoon away with Snoopy in my lap.  By time I made it down to the craft room I was a bit groggy, so decided to go in mass production mode and change up colors and sentiments on this style of card.  My Morning Stamp a Stackers also made this card today and loved it.

You will need Water Color paper.  Random stamp and then mist with Water immediately before your ink drys.  Let your images run and bleed.  Pat with a paper towel to get up excess water.  Air dry or use your heat tool.

After making 6 cards this evening I did discover a tip for using the Thread and Ribbons you just want to wrap around each side.  SCOTCH TAPE!!  I had a roll laying around and it secures your ribbon better than any adhesive out there.  Then you can use a glue dot or dimensionals to anchor your ribbon on the card front.

Smoky Slate card base, Island Indigo, Lost Lagoon and Soft Sky inks.  Silver Doily and Silver Thread.

Rich Razzleberry card base, Rich Razzleberry, Smoky Slate and Soft Sky inks.  Retired Basic Gray ribbon.  Sentiment punched with Washi Label punch.

Smoky Slate card base, Smoky Slate, Wisteria Wonder and Soft Sky inks.

October Paper Alternatives

This Paper Pumpkin kit evoked all kinds of ideas in my head, I could not even make the cards as shown with out tweaking a bit.  Sample 1 and 2 were pretty close and then the Wreath of leaves took over my brain!!  Hope you like?


I tied the Bakers twine under the Sentiment and stamped a few more flowers on this card.

   

  This little Gift card is adorable, but I was not feeling the gold leaves so left as is.....

 

This is the card where the Wreath of leaves took over my thoughts!!  Love it!

This card combines a Leaf Wreath around a few stamped flowers and 2 cut out Flowers.  Rhinestones and some Washi tape add some pizzazz.  This stamp set is very versatile!

And finally the Christmas look!  I stamped 2 circles of leaves and then cut out with Circle Framelits,
Added the Gold leaves here and some ribbon and Sentiment from the Holiday catty.  Softly Falling embossing folder.

This Paper Pumpkin kit has Great Colors and Great Options for more and more cards!
