Let Your Faith...

I was playing around with some of the patterns in the Magic in this night designer series paper one day, using it on cards that were not Halloween themed.  These two cards are a few of what came out of that...

The die cut on the left is from the Stitched Labels collection and the one on the right is from the Tasteful Labels dies collection. They are both stamped with a sentiment from the Ridiculously Awesome stamp set and mounted on a piece of Gold foil paper embossed with the Wrapped in Texture folder.

Here is a quick preview of the August Paper Pumpkin kit.  I will share some samples when I get a little time to play with it!

I just love this stamp set which is called Ridiculously Awesome.  In the next few days (or week if I can't find time to post them right away), I have more cards to share with you using the same set but different sentiments.

I paired the set with some Plaid Tidings designer series paper, the Tasteful Labels dies (again, I am sure you can tell I love the versatility of these dies!) and a piece from a past Paper Pumpkin kit.

Because You're Worth It

I found a little time to make a couple cards between combining, checking the potatoes for size, processing garden vegetables and getting my oldest off to college (by far the hardest thing on that list!).  This is one that I put together using the Press On and Here's A Card stamp sets.  The coffee cup was cut out with a paper snips and colored in with Stampin' Write markers.

The Gold Foil is embossed with the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder and the die cuts are made with the Stitched Shapes and Tasteful Labels dies.  I added some Cinnamon Cider ribbon and Champagne rhinestones to complete the card.

July Paper Pumpkin Alternative Ideas

I am finally getting around to sharing some July Paper Pumpkin ideas with you!  There will likely be more to come in the future as well.

The above picture shows the cards mostly the way they were designed.

Next, are a couple alternative ideas using pieces from the kit as well as bases from the add on kit that could also be purchased which includes lots of card bases and envelopes. I have added a picture and description of the kit below.

For the layout, I chose a piece of Snowflake Splendor designer series paper as the base and some Soft Seafoam card stock for the photo mats.  I also did a little sponging on the piece of luminary bag that I cut down.
