Nature's Harvest Fall Challenge Tower Pinwheel Card

Hello there! I have an awesome card for you today.

My Upline, Linda Bauwin, has contests for us with the release of every new catalog. She sends us certain products from the new inventory and we are to use at least some of it to make a contest card to send back to her for judging. We have an opportunity to earn $25, $50, $75 or $100 in product if our card is chosen! It's a great incentive to get those creative juices flowing and do your BEST work!

This was my most recent submission. I had a lot of fun making this card and seeing some of the new products that I hadn't purchased - yet ;) LOL! Lemme just tell ya, that cork paper...I had no desire to buy it -until I saw it/worked with it in person. Holy cow!!! It is AMAZING! It really POPs on the projects. I love it so much, I ordered 2 packs for myself!

And...like in my last post, I'm making Purple Coneflowers again with the gorgeous Nature's Harvest stamp set. Can you tell that I love it?! It's hard to see in the picture but behind the stamped image is the Gold Glimmer Vellum. It's subtly elegant!

Linda sent some pieces of Nature's Meadow DSP, Blackberry Bliss Ephemera Pack and the Gold Shimmer ribbon too. I had lots of items to decorate all 4 panels of my tower card.

I really think the one thing that sets this tower card apart from others is that I used the Basic Border dies on every layer. It was so fun to mix it up just a little from the original tower cards and it certainly added a touch of elegance, IMHO.

All that 3D effect and it folds nicely into a regular A2 envelope!

July We Bee Stamping TEAM Blog Hop - Christmas in July

Hello there! The We Bee Stamping Team is excited to bring you more inspiration through our monthly Blog Hop. This month we are prepping early for those Christmas cards 🎄

And to make it even easier, I have a FREE PDF for you! Just scroll to the bottom and click on the button :)

Today's card is a Pinwheel Tower card that I made using some of our Returning Favorites. What's a "Returning Fave?" You ask... It's an item that was in last year's Mini Catalog that is returning to this year's Aug-Dec Mini.

The Heartwarming Hugs DSP and the Red Foil sheets are both Returning Faves. I'm so glad I still had both of them :)

This card is so fun on it's own, but it's even more fun in person!

And the best part is that it's not hard to make at all.

The DSP does most of the work for you

Those little snowmen from the Snowman Season stamp set are so cute and very easy to color. Just snip them out and they make great accent pieces against this DSP.

I die cut the red foil sheet using our Stitched Rectangles Dies. Then I stamped the sentiment on Basic White in Memento Ink, cut it out and glued it on top of the die cut in layers. I think it makes a nice statement without being overkill. What do you think?

The Gold Shimmer ribbon adds a quick touch of class, don't you think?!

I punched the trees out of Mossy Meadow using our new Evergreen Border Punch then I embossed them with our Evergreen Forest embossing folder. I squiggled some white on them with a white gel pen.
