Stepping outside the box: Creating Alternative Cards with the September Paper Pumpkin Kit - Autumn Abundance

Hi Friends!

Each month I go live on facebook and youtube and create alternative cards using the Paper Pumpkin kit of the month.

The September kit was called Autumn Abundance, and included gorgeous fall cards. 

Fall colours are my favourite for sure, and these ones did not disappoint.

Here are the 3 alternate cards I created with input from viewers last week.

I added some cardstock but most of the supplies came from the kit.  I also used the add on paper pumpkin die sets from July-Aug-Sept and the new one from Oct-Nov-Dec. These are both still available to purchase for only $16.50 in Canada. Click on either image to view them in my online store.

To view the video tutorial on how they were created, click the image below to go to my YouTube channel.

Create Stunning Corner Fold Cards with the Changing Leaves Bundle: A Step-by-Step Guide

Hi Friends!

On Monday I shared how to create this beautiful card on my facebook/youtube live demonstration.

I saw a card by Laura Seki and had to do the fold (the card was also inspired by Laura).

In the video I introduce you to the new Two-Toned cardstock, a new product offered by Stampin' Up!

Petal Pink Two-Toned:

Gorgeous Grape Two-Toned:

And in the video below I use Early Espresso Two-Toned!

It truly does look amazing in either types of cardstock.

I used Berry Burst on the original card, some Old Olive and White Glimmer Specialty Paper, and finished it off with one of the Woven Golden Leaves and some Iridescent Pearls.

Create Festive Christmas Cards with Peaceful Seasons dies and Painted Trees embossing folder

Hi Friends!

The Peaceful Evergreens bundle in the Stampin' Up! mini catalogue is one of my favourites. And it's so versatile, the stamps and dies lend themselves to a lot of different layouts, techniques, and fun folds.

Along with this bundle is the Peaceful Seasons dies, and I do believe they are my second favourite product in the catalogue - next only to the Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments!

On this card I used the Painted Trees embossing folder to add a touch of colour and finished it off with the Peaceful Seasons "Christmas" die.

I shared how to create this card, and how to add colour to the embossed trees, during my facebook live on Monday night.
