Pretty Pumpkin projects in out of the box colors with Video too!

On Tuesday's FB Live I featured the Pretty Pumpkins bundle in out of the box colors.  I was inspired by the white pumpkins that are trendy now and by a card made by Deb Crowley.

Isn't it gorgeous?  The colors are Pool Party, Olive & Smoky Slate. I stamped the pumpkins in Smoky Slate onto White Basic card stock and colored them in with our Watercolor Pencils seen here.  A Blender pen is the magic tool when using watercolor pencils!  Watch the video below to see how.

I stamped the greeting directly onto the die-cut stitched rectangle using Smoky Slate ink.  It's cut from In Good Taste designer paper.  I used a blending brush to add a bit of Coastal Cabana ink behind the die-cut pumpkins.

Next is another pretty card in Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Rose Gold.  This pretty specialty paper is in our Annual Catalog on page 134 seen here.  It's also my free gift for orders in October! *see details below

These pumpkin and leaf die-cuts are in the Detailed Pumpkin dies seen here.  *Save 10% when you purchase the bundle – stamp set & dies. I did fussy cut the greeting after stamping it. The embossing folder is called Brick Wall.

Look at this pretty & quick treats box.  It's one of our 3 1/8" square Acetate boxes seen in the annual catalog here.  You get 10 boxes for $6.  Inside can hold either treats or 3 X 3 cards & envelopes.

I added a 2" X 9" belly band of Coastal Cabana card stock, a few pumpkin die-cuts, a wrap of Gold 3/8" shimmer ribbon and a fussy cut greeting.

Did you know we carry 3" square envelopes in the Annual Catalog? Check out page 136. They're perfect for little note cards and they fit in this box too!  

You might wonder where you get 3 X 3" cards….   I made them from a piece of 12 X 12" card stock. It's the best size CS to start with. You'll get 8 small cards from one sheet with no waste!  Watch my tip on this in the video below.

I think these cards would be great at each place setting on the Thanksgiving table!  Think white pumpkins, autumn colored leaves & turquoise ribbon or accents.  Mmm – I think I have a plan!

  • Green & Gold fun fold card with Changing Leaves bundle; & a free project sheet too!

    Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's Live video. My projects focused on new Online Exclusive products.  There's lots of beautiful texture on this monochromatic card.

  • Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder technique; with free project sheet & video tutorial

    I joined quite a few swaps featuring our newest group of Online Exclusives and this is one of the cards I made:

    Changing Leaves 1 Save

    It features the Changing Leaves bundle seen here.  It includes a stamp & die bundle AND a coordinating hybrid embossing folder as well. 

    CHANGING LEAVES BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    I used two different embossing techniques on this card. If you look closely at the die-cut leaf you'll see there's ink in the recessed part of the leaf.  That was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I cut & embossed the leaves.  Please watch the video here to see how it's done. 

    Changing Leaves diagonal. Save

    My colors include the new Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with White. I also ran a piece of Basic Beige CS through the clean folder and added ink with a blending brush afterwards. 

    In the two cards below you'll see that the Beige card stock looks different.  The left card was done by blending Mossy Meadow ink very lightly over the textured CS. The right card was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I textured it. Two totally different results! Again; watch the video below to see how it's done. 

    Changing Leaves both Save

    For the greetings I used another new Online Exclusive stamp set called Everyday Greetings. It's a fabulous greeting set. See it here. 

    The oval die-cut is from a new set of dies called Greetings of the Season dies seen here. They're paired with a stamp set but are great on their own too. 

    Did you know that Online Exclusives simply mean that they're seen online and not in any printed publication? Anyone can order them! See them all here; there are tons of them!
