Pumpkins and Ornaments!

I'm finally getting caught up here after several challenges recently, and realized how far I am behind in sharing the cards I've made! It's long past Halloween, and practically Thanksgiving (hard to believe), but I really wanted to share the pumpkin card we made in Club last month.

Here's what you need to make this card:

• Chocolate Chip cardstock - cut 8.5 x 5.5, score at 4.25; 1 piece cut 2 x 5




• Dusty Durango cardstock - 1 piece cut 5.25 x 4; 1 piece cut 1.75 x 5




• Naturals Ivory cardstock - 1 piece cut 3.5 x 3.75; 1 piece cut 1.50 x 4.75




• Dusty Durango polkadot ribbon




• Black Stayz On ink




• Dusty Durango Classic ink




• Chocolate Chip Classic ink




• Old Olive Classic ink




• Blender pen




• Stampin' Dimensionals




• SNAIL




• Scallop Edge Punch




• Texture Plate for the Big Shot that resembles woodgrain




• The More the Merrier stamp set
  
  

First I ran the larger piece of Naturals Ivory through the Big Shot with the Texture plate, then adhered that to the larger piece of Dusty Durango cardstock. Then, you can tie your ribbon around that and adhere that whole piece to the base cardstock.

Our second card featured a Christmas theme. Here's what you need to make this one:

• Delightful Decorations stamp set




• Greeting from Snow Swirled stamp set




• Baroque Motifs stamp set




• Versamark pad




• Irridescent Ice embossing powder




• Heat gun




• Real Red Classic ink




• Old Olive Classic ink




• Ornament punch




• Gold cord




• Ticket Corner punch




• Real Red cardstock, cut 4 x 5.25




• Whisper White cardstock, cut 3.75 x 5, and one 2" wide piece for stamping the ornament




• Old Olive cardstock, cut 8.5 x 5.5, scored at 4.25




• Paper piercing tool (I didn't have one, so used the tip of my Paper Snips)




• Stampin' Dimensionals




• SNAIL
  

Stamp the ornament of your choice using Real Red ink on Whisper White paper. Cut out the image using the awesome Ornament Punch! Yep, no cutting!

Stamp the viney image from Baroque Motifs across the top of the Whisper White piece. Stamp the greeting using Real Red ink on the bottom left side. Stamp a small snowflake from Delightful Decorations around the piece using the Versamark pad. Apply Irridescent Ice embossing powder, and set with the heat gun. I love this technique for added sparkle to projects!

Poke a small hole in a place on the viney image where it would like like an ornament could hang. Using a couple of Stampin' Dimensionals, stick the punched out ornament at least an inch below the hole. Tie gold cord around the neck of the ornament, and thread the tails of your bow through the hole. You can stick the tails down to the back of the White cardstock using SNAIL. Finish the edges of the stamped image and the Real Red piece using the Ticket Corner punch. Adhere the pieces together and you've got a unique holiday card!
