Good Morning Fellow Stampers -
Here we are at Thursday already; and what a week it has been around here. And I'm fighting a cold which is not helping anything! Today is a special day, and I'm just so over the moon excited. Tonight I head off with my honey to the Colorado Ballet's performance of The Nutcracker - one of my most favorite Christmas-time presentations. I have a brand new gown to wear; and I'm being whisked away to a romantic dinner at The Nickel - Hotel Teatro. Very fancy :-) So not feeling well and grumpy or not, I intend to have the time of my life tonight!! :-)
In the meantime, we need a little fun of our own. And I'm excited to have finally found a little time to play with the November Paper Pumpkin kit. I LOVE this kit!! It is beyond fabulous!! This was a very special edition box our kit arrived in several weeks ago; with a very special project inside. Our kits also included 2 ink spots (usually there is only 1); and a beautiful exclusive stamp set that is fabulous.
The kit is an adorable notecard size card set, with these gorgeous laser cut pieces in shades of Pool Party and Whisper White to layer and play. There is vellum cardstock and gorgeous Dapper Denim Envelopes. What a fabulous little kit!!!
I like to play with the kits contents in "out of the box" ways - it's just so much fun! And there is definitely a lot of inspiration out there.
This cute little marker was created with the Scallop Tag Topper punch and cutting apart several of the laser strips, adding some of the sequins from the kit, stamping a sentiment from the stamp set in Dapper Denim ink, and using a piece of the pretty silver twine to finish it off :-)
But this really was my "epiphany" moment -- since it's been All Shaker cards All the Time around here lately -- LOL
Want to see some "shake" action?
I actually layered together the laser cutouts on a piece of the Vellum, which I had sponged first with Dapper Denim ink, and then stamped in Craft White the little snowy image from the stamp set in the kit. I then created a border "window, and filled it with white mica flakes, and just went to town! It's so much fun :-)
Here's another option using Mint Macaron ink.
