A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Layered Leaves

Welcome to our fabulous A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!  Every month I receive a surprise card/project kit from Stampin' Up!.  I love this fall/Thanksgiving themed kit!

I struggled a bit for an alternate project & card because I love the projects & cards in the kit!  Once I finally got my creative mojo going here is what I came up with this month!

 
All the details for my card and my project are below.  I have put an asterisks next to items that were in addition to the Paper Pumpkin kit.

 

Details for the card:

• *Cajun Craze Card base - 11" x 4 1/4" and score at 5 1/2"
• *Whisper White 5 1/4" x 4"
• Used the negative/outline that is left from the leaves with *Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, and *Crushed Curry inks.  I used *sponge daubers for this part.  I tried sponge wedges, but it was too challenging to work with the small outlines and not get extra ink on the card front.
• Added a couple gold leaves to the card front.
• Used the bakers twine included with the kit to wrap around the card front before adhering to card base.
• Stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze on the kit included tags.

I have seen this candle and stamping idea a number of places online.  I picked up some battery operated lights from the local dollar store and decided to try this technique.

Details for the project:

• *Battery operated light from the local dollar store
• Using *tissue paper and stamp leaves on it in *Cherry Cobbler and Cajun Craze inks onto the tissue paper.
• Wrap the tissue paper around the candle and very carefully heat/melt the tissue paper into the candle using your heat gun.  Be careful and I set it on some scrap paper because some of the wax leaked to the bottom of the candle.  Set aside to cool and harden.
• Used the bakers twine included with the kit to wrap around the card front before adhering to card base.
• Stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze on the kit included tags.

I hope you enjoyed my card and project.  Thanks for visiting!
