Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #PCC395: Gather Together

Good morning!

It seems like it's finally starting to feel like fall, I'm really loving this cooler mornings.  For today's Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge I decided to use these fall feelings as inspiration for today's card using the Gather Together stamp set, which I love!

I used Crumb Cake cardstock for the case base and then added Early Espresso cardstock as a mat for the Guilded Autumn Speciality Designer Series Paper card front (I love all the metallic accents on this paper!)

The greeting stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock using Early Espresso ink and then was matted with an offset square of Cajun Craze cardstock.  Behind this piece I added a leaf that was cut out of Mossy Meadow cardstock using the Gathered Leaves Dies (and then I light sponged the embossed leaf to help the detail pop).  A strip of Early Espresso cardstock also helps anchor the pieces on the cardfront.

I stamped the small pumpkin image from the Gather Together stamp set using Momento Black ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then colored it in with Stampin' Blends before cutting it out with the coordinating dies and using Stampin' Dimensionals to attach the pumpkins to the cardfront.  The final touch was to add a bow tied with the metallic ribbon from the Basket Weave and Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack.

I love how these colors work with the Copper Metallic accents, it screams fall, and pumpkin spice haha!  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing using card sketch for inspiration and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #349: Tags Tags Tags

Good morning!

I've just been itching to start decorating for Halloween but the kiddo says I have to wait until October (ugh!) so I'm embracing my excitement for Halloween  in this weeks card for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration challenge.  I decided to mix a little new with a little old products to create this card.

For this card I used Basic Gray cardstock for the cardbase and then added Cajun Craze cardstock as the mat for the cardfront that uses Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper.  I added another pattern of the DSP as a belly band around the center and matted it with Pretty Peacock cardstock.

For the greeting I used the Tags, Tags, Tags stamp and stamped the greeting in Basic Black on Basic Gray cardstock and then cut it out with the Trio of Tags Dies.  To attach the greeting I tied it on with a piece of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon.

To finish off the card I added several little bats that I cut out of Blackberry Bliss and Pretty Peacock cardstock and the Halloween Magic Dies as well as adding several Iridescent Pearls for the little bling.

I absolutely love how this card turned out, this DSP has some great color combinations that I wouldn't normally consider for Halloween but the end result is really classy.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love to see what you create using this inspiration.
