Welcome. I’m so happy to be joining today’s blog hop showcasing projects created with this kit…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The October Card Kit can be found HERE<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I have several cards to share, so I hope you don’t mind this long post. \ud83d\ude42 For all three cards, I started with a 3×4 card as my jumping off point.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the first card…<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

…I used the hello die-cut that is included in the kit and die-cut it from of THIS<\/a> toner paper. I added some of THIS<\/a> gold foil on top and ran it through my Minc Machine<\/a>, creating a gold foiled embellishment. I backed it with some black fun foam for added dimension and adhered it to the center of one of the 3×4 cards. For the background of the card, I die-cut a sheet of the patterned paper from the kit using THIS<\/a> die. After adhering everything down to the black card base, I finished the card by adding some of THESE<\/a> gold sequins and adding some Wink of Stella<\/a> and Glossy accents<\/a> to the flowers for some shine.<\/p>\n

Here’s a closer look…<\/p>\n

For the second card, I chose a 3×4 card with a pick typewriter (how cute is that!?). I heat embossed a sentiment on the typewriter’s paper from the stamp set included in the kit. I cut it out and adhered it to a black panel cut with THIS<\/a> die. To create the background, I cut several, random sized strips of the patterned paper and adhered them to a piece of cardstock at an angle. I die-cut the entire piece using THIS<\/a> die.<\/p>\n

I bent the corner of the typewriter paper, applied glossy accents to the typewriter keys, and added an epoxy heart for a few finishing touches…<\/p>\n

For my final card (are ya still with me?) …<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I chose a butterfly die-cut piece to start with and used the opening to let the gold ink shine through. The gold pigment ink included in the kit is beautiful. I smeared some on a piece of cardstock and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder<\/a>. I also used the ink around the edges of the sentiment strip, Speaking of the sentiment, I stamped it with THIS<\/a> ink and then clear heat embossed it. I really like how this makes sentiments and images pop.<\/p>\n

A closer look..<\/p>\n

\nTo finish the card, I die-cut some striped patterned paper with
THIS<\/a> die and added some gold splatter. I created the gold splatter by dabbing the gold ink on my craft sheet and adding a small amount of water. I picked it up with my paintbrush and flicked it on.<\/p>\n
