Now, onto my cards. A little unusual this month as besides focusing on 1 stamp kit, Unity’s Simple Blessings kit, I also decided to use a paper I developed over the summer. I developed it Primary Elements pigment and copper glitter. I’d been waiting till the right time, fall, to use it and so... here we go!

The first card I decided to use it as the background paper for this flourish stamp. I heat embossed the flourish and a sentiment from the Ol’ Fashion Holiday Love kit. I added leaf die cuts from a Bo Bunny paper, black and red paper backings, shimmery paper behind the sentiment and crystals to complete the card.

The second card I just white embossed the pumpkins from the kit of the sparkly paper, fussy cut them out and white embossed the sentiment on wood grained patterned paper. I added a a knitted background paper and ribbons. To complete the card I added crystal dots.

For the final card, I took the leaf stamps, the special paper and several colored archival inks and stamped and clear embossed the leaves using multiple colors on each leaf. After embossing the sentiment on another piece of glimmer paper, I fussy cut and adhered the leaves, added crystals and framed the card using gold peel offs. I mounted it on green corrugated paper.

Had fun using up the paper I created! Now, for your enjoyment, on to the next blog in the hop (be sure to leave a comment before you go!):
