Option add-on products include:
Let's get started, I have 3 cards to share with you today. I decided to focus on the three themes:
Fall
Halloween
Christmas
First up is my Fall themed card. I used the products from the main kit:
I decided to try a different color combo than I would ordinarily gravitate to. I picked:
The leaves and the sentiment are from the stamp set from the main kit. I combined the Soft Purple and Butter Bar shadow inks on the leaves. The 'many' has been stamped in Butter Bar and the 'thanks' has been stamped with the Ombre Autumn ink pad. Do you notice the Floral Mixed Layering Paper strip on the left side of the card? I used a clear block and scribbled some ink from a Zig Clean Color marker that coordinated with Butter Bar and painted my stripes on the Ranger Watercolor panel. The circle tag and twine are from my stash.
What do you think of the colors?
Next up is my Halloween card using the Halloween Trimmings Stamp & Cut set:
Lovin' the big ole Happy Halloween sentiment, how about you? It's been heat embossed with white embossing powder.
I'm a big fan of making my own pattern paper by using various strips of colored cardstock. This one uses the Sunshine Mixed Layering Papers...just say Yes to Candy Corn!
My final card uses the option add-on Merry Christmas Trimmings Stamp & Cut set:
I decided to do a monochromatic card with a pop of red! The circle die (from my stash) has been stamped with branches + berries from the Merry Christmas Trimmings stamp set. The berries have been heat embossed in white. The branches have been stamped with Wet Cement Shadow ink. All the paper is from the Midnight Mixed Layering Paper. The Merry Christmas has been cut from the Blush Mixed Layering Paper.
Do you see the base layer? It's been stamped with the Holiday Floral Bold Prints that was recently released in the 2016 Winter Catalog. Isn't it a beauty? Love all the details. It has also been stamped with Wet Cement Shadow ink.
In case you missed my earlier Countdown to Creativity post, here's a card that uses the beautiful wreath dies:

And the HA kit is sold out, no wonder...
I tried to order this several times yesterday and today. But each time I was interrupted and didn’t complete my order. And now…it’s sold out :(
