Holiday Catalog Sneak Peak - Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop

Welcome to my first time hopping with the Stampin Dreams  Blog Hop!!
I am Ann Krucek from the United States of America. 

I am happy to join this international group of creative stampers! This month we are doing a Holiday Catalog Sneak Peak.  So you should be inspired by lots of creativity with the new products.

 I chose to focus on fall with this post.  I used the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper in both of these cards.

The first card is actually using a die set that is featured in the Toile Tidings Suite, called All-Around Wreath Dies. I used lots of layering with card stock, foil paper and just a hint of DSP.  

I also added some more texture by using the Braided Linen Trim tucked in with the leaves.  The sentiment is from the Gather Together Stamp Set.

The second card I did was again using the Come Gather Together DSP.  But this time I used the Gather Together Stamp Set and the Gathered Leaves Dies.  

 I inked up my dies when I ran them through to cut them.  So I used Pretty Peacock paper and used a sponge to put white ink on my leaf die,  then did the opposite - I used Whisper White paper and used a sponge to put Pretty Peacock ink on my leaf die.  I love the effect it gives the leaves.

I stamped the pumpkins with Soft Sued on to the wood look paper and used the Braided Linen Trim again for some pumpkin vines.  I wrapped the trim around a narrow paint brush and put a very very light coat of glue on the outer side and let it sit and dry for a long time.  Don't put too much glue on or it will stick to your paint brush!!
