Joy to the World Poinsettia Card

Here is the third and last card for my November Card Class. 

For this card, I started with the Vintage Notes Background Stamp using Oatmeal Cookie Ink. I then swiped the edges with the Clear Pigment pad and added Gold embossing Powder and Heated. 

The other piece on the background is a piece of Gold Mirror Cardstock and embossed with the Inspire Embossing Folder. 

Joy to the World is from the Holiday Joy Stamp Set and was stamped with Clear Pigment Ink and Gold Embossing Powder.  It was stamped onto a matching Die from the Special Days Tag Dies. 

The Pine sprigs behind the Poinsettia are from the Branches and Cones Die Set.

The Poinsettia is from the Christmas Sprig Stamp Set and colored with Copic Markers.  I stamped, colored and cut out an extra two layers of the Poinsettia and layered with Journey Foam Squares.

Stay Wild Fall Any Occasion Card

Here is the second of 3 cards for my November Card Class. 

This was such a fun card to make. I used the FSJ Barn Wall Embossing Folder with Hazelnut Cardstock for the background. The Base Card is Butter Cream Cardstock. 

The oval with the image was created with my Gel Press and Liquid Colors. I love the FSJ Gel Press becasue the size is 8.5" X 11" so you can do a whole sheet of cardstock at the same time. FSJ also has an awesome 6" brayer that perfect for this Gel Press. 

After adding the colors you want for the background, I stamped the Stay Wild Stamp with Dark Roast Ink. I used my Misti for this so I could stamp it twice for a darker look. I then embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder to make it POP. 

I used Journey Ovals Die and Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Oval Large Dies. 
I cut out the Pine Sprigs from the Branch and Cones Die in Kiwi Slice CS, The Cones in Oatmeal Cookie CS and backed it with Hazelnut Blend CS and cut it out.
The leaves are Cut using the Pretty Leaves Die Set in Citrus Cooler and Pumpkin Bread Cardstock. 

Now, just put it all together and add a Pumpkin Patch Ribbon Bow.
