WCC Blog Hop - Season's Greetings Pines

Woohoo! It's time for our monthly blog hop, this time featuring products from the new August - December 2020 Mini Catalogue!


This card uses the awesome In The Pines Bundle which includes the In The Pines Stamp Set and the Pine Woods Dies. I used the Watercolour Smoosh technique to make the background for this card. That involved colouring on a Clear Block E with Stampin' Write Markers (Pool Party, Pacific Point & Night of Navy), using a Stampin' Spritzer to spray it with water, and smooshing it down on Shimmery White Cardstock. So fun!


The diecuts are cut in Night of Navy and Misty Moonlight cardstock and the Misty Moonlight/Silver Baker's Twine is from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. The card front was layered on Misty Moonlight and a Night of Navy card base.


The snowflake was diecut using the So Many Snowflakes Dies in the gorgeous Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper. The sentiment is from the In The Pines Stamp Set and was stamped in Versamark, heat embossed in White Stampin' Emboss Powder and fussy cut.

Please enjoy hopping to the other West Coast Creators' blogs to see their beautiful cards!

Autumn Thanks


It's time again for Kylie's monthly contest! Please check out my card and vote for me if you like it!

I wanted to show you some of my favourite new autumn products in the new August - December 2020 Mini Catalogue which goes live on August 4th along with an adorable set from the Annual Catalogue!
Our theme is "Thank You" so I thought that this little raccoon holding a beautiful autumn leaf was perfect!



The large leaf is cut with the Stitched Leaves Dies on pg 49 out of the Brushed Metallic 12x12 Cardstock on pg 45. Did you notice the stitched embossing on the leaf? That is a separate die in the set! 

The patterned paper is the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) on pg 45. The small leaves are punched with the Autumn Punch Pack on pg 46, also out of the Brushed Metallic Cardstock. 


The raccoon and sentiment came from the Special Someone Stamp Set on pg 93 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue along with the Special Day Dies. The balloon string in this set was attached to the leaf and the grass was cut from Mint Macaron cardstock with a die from this set. 

The raccoon was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and Gray Granite inks and cut with the coordinating die. I used Crumb Cake and Mint Macaron Blends around the edges to help it blend into the background. The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso to tie in with the striped DSP.

Cardstock used was Cajun Craze, Mint Macaron and Whisper White.
