Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #694: Thanks & Giving

Good morning,

I'm so loving all the fall vibes right now, oh so wonderful. It's only fitting with everything fall right now I used that as the inspiration for this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge to make one of the Thanksgiving cards, that's on my To Do list. I also had time to break out the new Stampin' Hot Foil system and thought this was a perfect card to showcase some of this magic.

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Early Espresso cardstock as a mat for the different pieces of DSP from the Autumn Opulence Speciality Designer Series Paper ( I did reverse the layout of the piece just because I thought it worked better for my card).

Next, I used the Stampin' Hot Foil System and the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies to foil and cut out some leaves (using Copper Foil) and also used the Reverse Hot Foil Plate to use the negative image (that's for the Pumpkin Pie leaf).

The greeting is from the Thanks & Giving stamp set and was stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock using Early Espresso ink before fussy cutting and attaching with dimensionals. The final touch was to use some of the Radient Gems and tied a double bow using Linen Thread.

I'm so in love with this card, the foiling is so beautiful in person, it's a bit of effort but so worth it!

Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration, we would love for you to play along and share what you create!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #689: Thanks & Giving

Good morning,

With the arrival of September is perfect timing for this weeks Paper Craft Crew theme challenge, fall. This was my first opportunity to pull out some of the new catalog products I've received but haven't had a chance to play with which is always fun.

This card starts with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then I added a piece of Autumn Opulence Specialty Designer Series paper that's matted with Cajun Craze cardstock. I added another coordinating piece of DSP that's matted with Blackberry Bliss cardstock before adding a piece of Calypso Coral with Copper Border 3/8" Ribbon.

The stamp set is the new Thanks & Giving set and has lots of great greetings and images. I stamped the wreath on Very Vanilla cardstock and colored it in with Stampin' Blends before fussy cutting it out and attaching with dimensionals. The greeting was stamped directly on the DSP with Blackberry Bliss ink and the final touch was to add some Gold Adhesive Backed Dots for a little bling.

I love how this card turned out, it definitely has all the fall feelings.
