WCC Blog Hop - Open If You Dare!
Welcome to the West Coast Creators Blog Hop!
Our theme this month is Fall/Halloween so I've made this little treat box!
I used a Mini Paper Pumpkin box and sponged it with Blackberry Bliss, So Saffron and Smoky Slate inks.
I added some Metallic Mesh Ribbon and some Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon. I topped it off with a sentiment from the Hallows Night Magic Stamp Set, stamped in Versamark on Basic Black Cardstock and heat embossed with Silver Emboss Powder. I die-cut the sentiment with a label from the Hippo & Friends Dies. I added 3 bats die-cut out of Black Glimmer Paper with the Halloween Magic Dies.
I filled the box with Halloween treats! Yum!
Please enjoy hopping to the other blogs to see some great Fall/Halloween themed projects!

A Friend That Makes Me Smile
It's time for Kylie's blog hop again with demonstrators from around the world!
My card today shows you how you can use the beautiful Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper for something other than Halloween!
The cardstock is Magenta Madness, one of the In Colors. I used the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and a die from the Forever Flourishing Dies cut from Silver Foil.
The sentiment is from Forever Fern, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and cut with a Stitched Shapes Die.
Please enjoy hopping to see some wonderful cards from some talented demonstrators!

Ocean View - Kylie's International Highlights
It's time for Kylie's September International Blog Highlights! I am hoping to get your votes over the next week for my Ocean View card! I live in a suburb of Vancouver, BC, Canada and we are so lucky to live so close to the Pacific Ocean! This card reminds me of my last boat trip, watching the sunset through the window!
For this card, I used the Framed For You Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue. It has a great window or picture frame and some wonderful water ripples for the ocean! The background wall was created by inking the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder with Crumb Cake Ink, inserting a Crumb Cake Cardstock layer and running it through our new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine!
I also used the Smooth Sailing Dies and the Layering Squares Dies.
I created the little ocean scene with the help of some Stampin' Sponges!
The sentiment is from the Sailing Home Stamp Set!
I have prepared a FREE PDF Tutorial for you to download and please don't forget to vote!

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.
Thank you for visiting my blog! If you live in Canada and you'd like to purchase any of the products used in this card, please go to my online store and use the Host Code above.
