Membership Wednesday ~ November 2023 KOM Festive Flair with a Vintage Touch ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back for another Membership Wednesday and today I'm sharing a pretty vintage card using the beautiful pinecone stamp in the November 2023 Kit of the Month called Festive Flair from Unity Stamp Co. This month's KOM has got to be a new favorite! I just couldn't wait to play with this beautiful stamp!

I stamped the pretty pinecones on a piece of white card stock using Black Amalgam ink. Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up the pinecones:

Pinecones: E21, E23, E25, E27

Pine Branches: YG11, G24, G46

Inspiration for my card design came from this month's Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 16. I was at a total loss at what to do with these pinecones until remembered this sketch and it just clicked. Love when that happens!

I paired up the pinecones with a piece of pattern paper from the gorgeous Yuletide Memories {paper pack}. These papers were a must have!! So glad I got my hands on them! I die cut a piece of the pattern paper using the largest scalloped die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. And then I tore off the bottom portion.

I splattered the pattern paper and the pinecones using some white acrylic paint that I thinned out a bit with a spritz of water. I heat embossed the sentiment with Sugar Cube pigment ink, Alabaster White embossing powder and I melted it with my Wagner Precision Heat Tool. I adhered the pattern paper to a kraft A2 top fold card base. I added a bunch of foam tape to the back of the pinecones and popped them up on the card.

Here's a look at the whole Kit of the Month for November!! So amazing! Can you believe that you get this full sheet of rubber for only $44.99? That includes shipping! You also get a $6.95 discount on every order from Unity over $45. And you can purchase any past kits for only $34 plus shipping. Such a great value!

I'll be back for one last Membership Wednesday blog post next week. Pretty sure I had said I was going to share a card or two using the November 2023 Whit Kit today, but I totally forgot about it so I think I'll probably do that for next week. I really want to ink up the gorgeous poinsettia in that kit!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
