Happy New Year Golden Honey DSP

When I got his year's Sale-a-Bration catalog, I knew the very first thing I wanted to get as a freebie was the gorgeous Golden Honey Design Series Paper. Boy, am i glad I did, in person it was even more beautiful that you can imagine! I loved it so much I made my new years cards with it - how could you go wrong with black, white & gold? I loved it so much I had to get a second pack!

~Enjoy!

#simplestamping with Beauty Abounds Color Challenge Fall

For the next project Tracy & had chosen the color combo of Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie for a fall theme using the Beauty Abounds Stamp Set.

~Enjoy!

We did have a small spark of inspiration from a Pinterest pin, but, I really just went where the stamp set sent me. I was not overly excited about how my large circles were stamping with such a distinct outline and no center, but if you do not expect the stamp to stamp as pictured on the box, it gives it a really cool effect. I used the stamp from this month's Paper Pumpkin The Gift of Fall.

For this second one I just decided to keep it simple, using the same products as above and just a clean stripe across the card. I really like how this came out and would be great for a #simplestamping class.

The this card, I had to go for & really dress it up. This takes the original card, turns it sideways and add lots of layers! I stamped the flourish in Crushed Curry on Crushed Curry for the yellow stripe and backed it with Gold Glimmer paper. The leaves are cut from the retired Bird Builder Punch. The tag is cut from the retired Decorative Label Punch and the whole thing is topped off with the Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and a multi loop bow made with the Linen Thread. This works much better as a background over a focal #simplestamping project.

The last card, I used the same products as above & trimmed down the second #simplestamping card to a focal point. I stamped the flourish in Cajun Craze on Cajun Craze for the banner & gave it a fishtail cut. The stripe underneath is stamped with the 3 colors and the Birch Background Stamp. The splats are stamped in Pumpkin Pie on Pumpkin Pie and the whole thing is topped with Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and Whisper White Baker's Twine. Make sure you go see what Tracy did with her cards!!!

Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin Colorful Banner 2

Using my favorite element from the September 2019 Paper Pumpkin: Gift of Fall, the colorful leaves banner, did not result as pretty as I had hoped...

~Enjoy!

---

I started with the Mossy Meadow background and embossed it with the Layering Leaves Embossing Folder. I scruffed up the edges of the colorful leaves banner. I embossed the circle with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder & then lightly sanded to have the white core show through. The additional little sprigs are cut from the retired Bird Builder Punch, which matched almost perfectly to the supplied sprigs. The sentiment is stamped with Merry Merlot and then the edges were sanded & then roughed up with a scissor edge to add a little texture. The Crushed Curry background is stamped with Crushed Curry and the line stamp from Tasteful Textures.

I colored the Ice Stampin' Glitter crystals with some Mossy Meadow Ink Refill and adhered then with Shimmery Crystal Effects. A few gold sequins add just a little sparkle!
