Hello there crafty friend!
Today I'm sharing a bit of inspiration for the October 2023 Whit Kit from Unity Stamp Co. I made four quick cards featuring this fabulous kit. A set of three cards featuring the gorgeous papers in the Fallen Elegance paper pack with some of the ephemera pieces from the kit and a fourth card using the awesome Burlap Stencil along with the Harvest of Gratitude stamps. All goodies from this month's card kit!
First up... the cards featuring a few pattern papers from the Fallen Elegance paper pack from the kit. I just fell in love with these papers. So delicate and pretty! I couldn't pick just one piece so I thought it would be fun to cut them up and combine them on each card.
I cut each pattern paper down to 3-3/4 x 5". And then I cut them to 1-1/4" strips. I adhered the pattern papers to a scrap of card stock measuring 3-3/4 x 5" and then adhered them to a kraft A2 card base measuring 4-1/4 x 11"; scored at 5-1/2".
I combined three ephemera pieces for the focal image of each card. There are so many beautiful pieces. It was hard to narrow it down, but I love how they turned out.
I then heat embossed the sentiment from the Harvest of Gratitude stamps using white pigment ink, white embossing powder and I melted it with a heat tool. Three very quick and easy Thanksgiving cards ready to send!
The card kit has a pretty Champagne pigment ink included that I thought would make a lovely background. I tried it on kraft first but it wasn't very visible so I decided to give it a try on white and I love it! So delicate and beautiful!
I blended the Champagne ink over the Burlap Stencil using a blending brush. Blended heavier in the center of the card front and lighter on the edges leaving some white for a border.
I then stamped the pretty pumpkins using Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink first. I cleaned the stamp and added some Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide on the bottom portion of the stamp. I cleaned the stamp again and then I inked just a touch of Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink on the bottom portion of the stamp. I fussy cut the pumpkins leaving a skinny border. I stamped the sentiment directly on the card using Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink. And then adhered the pumpkins to the card.
Easy peasy and I love the dimension the different colors of oxide inks gives to the stamped image.
Here's a look at all four cards together. All so quick and easy!!
