Card #1 Thanksgiving Centerpiece
The Festive Bouquet Stamp and Die set includes two beautiful bouquets and sentiments with dies. I stamped one bouquet and colored it with fall-themed Copic markers. Then, I stamped the Not Quite Dots background stamp on green cardstock and melted gold embossing powder over it.
I used a Tim Holtz Deckle Trimmer to cut the green and red cardstocks to match. These were layered with some gold mirror cardstock on an A2-sized card base.
Finally, I stamped and cut out the sentiment and added it to the front with foam tape, along with some Orange Leaves Sequins from the last SSS release.
Card #2 - Christmas in Pencils
To make this card, I used the Festive Bouquets Stamp and Die set to stamp and color a bouquet on blue-green cardstock. Then, I embossed the image twice with black and silver powder, slightly offsetting them.
Next, I cut the bouquet in half and attached each piece to opposite ends of a black cardstock panel. I embossed a sentiment in silver and added it to the front with foam tape.
Finally, I added Trinity Stamps' Stunning Silver Baubles Embellishment Mix to the front and glued it all onto an A2-sized card base.
