Trimming Pears

The Mossy Meadow & Gold Trim is so beautiful on both sides, I decided to feature both. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Perfectly Pears

Paper:

   Darling Duckling A-2, 1-3/8" Scallop Circle

   Secret Sea 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Painterly Pears DSP 1 x 5-1/4, 3 x 5-1/4

   Basic White 1-1/4" Circle, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Secret Sea

Technique:

   CAS

   Punching

Accessories:

   1-1/4" Circle Punch

   1-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch

   Mossy Meadow & Gold Trim 6" Strips (3)

   Low-Profile Sparkle Dots

   Tear & Tape

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I cut a 4 x 5-1/4" panel of Painterly Pears DSP. I then cut 1" from the left side and flipped it. Since, the DSP is two-sided, both sides coordinate and complement each other. Note, I did include the size of both panels above, in case you are using two different DSP packs.

I then adhered both panels onto a Secret Sea matte.

Next, I cut three strips of the Mossy Meadow & Gold trim. I laid them onto the DSP panel and flipped the two outer strips. I added tear & tape on the trim to make it easy to attach. You can use glue dots or liquid adhesive as well. I did make sure the strips of trim butted up against each other to make it look like one piece.

I then adhered the panel onto a Darling Duckling card front.

Next, I stamped and punched the sentiment and adhered it onto a Darling Duckling Scallop Circle. I attached it onto the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few Low-Profile Sparkle Dots and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Amber Trees

You don't have to buy all of the bells and whistles to create a beautiful card. I simply used stamps, markers, and a couple of embellishments. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Autumn Trees

   Amber Autumn

Paper:

   Crushed Curry A-2

   Early Espresso 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Pecan Pie 1-1/2" Sq. 

Markers:

   Cajun Craze

   Crushed Curry

   Early Espresso

Technique:

   Coloring on Stamp

   Punching

Accessories:

   1-1/4" Square Punch

   Streaked Dots

   Irregular Weave Trim

   Glue Dots

   Tear & Tape

   Adhesive

First, I used the markers listed above to color the Autumn Trees stamp. I used Early Espresso on the trunk and limbs of the tree, while Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze were randomly used on the foliage. 

I then huffed on the stamp to moisten the ink and stamped it onto the Basic White panel. Since, I was going to be adding an image on the lower right corner, I moved the stamp as far to the left as possible. 

Next, I used the Cajun Craze marker to color the acorns on the stamp from the Amber Autumn stamp set. I stamped a 1-1/2" square of Pecan Pie with the acorns image.

I then used the 1-1/4" square punch to punch out a square on the lower right corner of the stamped Basic White panel. 

Next, I aligned the acorns image in the square and added a bit of tear & tape to the back of the panel to keep it in place.

I then adhered the panel onto an Early Espresso matte and then onto a Crushed Curry card front.

Next, I added a couple of glue dots: one where the Pecan Pie square meets the Basic White panel at the foot of the tree and the other on the bottom left corner of the Basic White panel. 

I then added the Irregular Weave trim under the tree, using the glue dots to hold it in place.

Next, I added three Streaked Dots: one on top of each of the glue dots plus another at the base of the tree. 

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

North Pole Collage

I am a Paper Pumpkin subscriber. I enjoy opening and putting my kit together according to the instructions that are included with each kit. Honestly, sometimes I need a different sentiment or I just know I will never use the one that comes with the kit. That is no big deal, I just switch it out to something I need or I know that I will use in the future. My only other frown happens when they send tags, or gift bags, boxes, etc. Usually, I can turn the tag into a card front. I think these worked just fine. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   From the North Pole (November, 2022 - Paper Pumpkin Kit)

Paper:

   Cherry Cobbler A-2 (Too)

   Crumb Cake A-2 (North Pole, Tre)

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Cherry Cobbler

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

I followed the instructions, included with the kit to make each of the tags above.

I then attached them to the center of a card front that included a panel of Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum on a Basic White panel along with another Basic White panel for the inside of each card. Here is a closer look at each of the three cards:

The dry embossing on the Grapefruit Grove panel adds beautiful texture to the card. Thoughts?

First, I stamped the sentiment in the center of the Petal Promenade DSP panel, using Grapefruit Grove ink.

I then stamped the sentiment again, moving it slightly to the left and using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. This created a shadow effect. 

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and set it aside.

I then dry embossed the Grapefruit Grove panel, using the Dashing Designs 3D embossing Folder, and adhered it onto the Basic Black card front.

Next, I attached the sentiment panel to the card front, using dimensionals.

I then tied the Grapefruit Grove Thick Baker's Twine into a bow and attached it below the sentiment using a glue dot.

Lastly, I added a few pearls and rhinestones to the card front, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
