Divine

This card came about because I found I had not used a wine bottle image I had stamped, colored and cut out when working on a bunch of cards at some point in the past.  I must have made too many and forgot all about it...

So since my stamping and coloring was done, I just needed to pick my layout and colors - I chose to add lots of layers including some Joyous Noel specialty paper, Fresh Fig card stock and an embossed piece of Black foil sheets.  

In addition, I added a pearlized doily that has a piece of Whisper White card stock behind it to keep the black from showing through.  Then I completed the card with the wine bottle and some baker's twine from the September Paper Pumpkin kit.

Supplies:

Half Full

Memento Black ink

Stampin' Blends

Joyous Noel specialty paper

Fresh Fig, Whisper White card stock

Black foil paper

baker's twine

pearlized doily

Tin Tile folder

November Stamp Club

This month I am a little quicker to share the monthly stamp club projects with you!  I decided to use some Toil and Trouble designer series paper for our layout but did not want to make it Halloween themed so I used the back side designs that are colorful and patterned.

Our first card uses the Country Home stamp set and coordinating Country Lane designer series paper along with the sprig punch.

Our second card uses the Happiness Surrounds stamp set and some Wood textures designer series paper.  The card was inspired by this one created by Jennifer Frost who is part of Stampin' Up!'s Artisan design team.

Remember we always have room for new members in our stamp clubs!  Contact me for details.

August Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

The next couple days I will still be showing you August things, I just can't seem to catch up during harvest season!  The first two cards are alternative ideas for last month's Paper Pumpkin kit and the last photo is of the cards the way the kit was intended.

On the first alternative, I added a delicate doily and a punched out piece of Frosted Floral specialty designer series paper.  There wasn't too much done differently to change up either of the alternatives this time but I thought they turned out kind of fun.

The second alternative uses some Black foil that is embossed with the Tin Tile dynamic impressions folder.  The rest of the pieces are again from the kit.

You will no doubt see a lot of the Tin Tile dynamic impressions folder on my projects in the future, it is becoming a favorite quickly!
