the creation station blog hop - seasonally scattered

I can't believe that November is already here! Seriously...where did October go?! It's the 1st Sunday of the month and that means it's hopping time with The Creation Station, so I hope that you will hop along with us and get a little inspiration today!

For today's hop we were able to choose from the following (any or all):
1. Stamp Set: Seasonally Scattered
2. Theme: Gift Card Holders
3. Accessory: Gift Card Holders using our dies or the Gift Card Enclosure Pack

I chose the Seasonally Scattered stamp set to showcase today. What a fun set this is!! The card I created to share today uses a fun fold. Take a peek in the photo tutorial below.

The front flap tucks underneath the baker's twine.

I used the And Many More stamp set and using a marker colored in just the GIVE part of the "Give Thanks" sentiment in this set. By doing this I could turn this card into a Thanksgiving card. I used this similar technique with this card, as well. This up close picture also shows the two different colors I used on the stamp ~ Tangerine Tango and Crushed Curry.

These Autumn Wooden Elements are such a fun addition to Fall cards!

I can't wait to share some of these fun products with you in the coming months and I am starting that off today with a little Fall-inspired card using the new Seasonally Scattered stamp set. This stamp set was one of our perks from attending Convention. All attendees received this set for FREE!

Seasonally Scattered

Clear Mount / #135023 / $17.95

Wood Mount / #135020 / $24.95

This particular card I created for the Control Freaks Fall Swap. And, just yesterday I received the other swaps in the mail and they are all SO AMAZING!! So many inspiring ways to use the new Fall products in the Holiday Catalog.

 
The "thanks" on this particular card is actually completely covered in glitter (oh, how I love glitter!)

To get this glittered look:
1) Stamp your image in Versamark.
2) Then stamp in So Saffron ink.
3) Using Sponge Daubers, daub the two different colors on the stamp sporadically (I used Garden Green & Tangelo Twist).
4) Stamp image onto Whisper White Cardstock.
5) Sprinkle Heat & Stick Powder onto the image and heat with Heat Tool until it looks kind of glossy and "wet" (this is when you know it is sticky like glue).
6) Sprinkle with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and heat with Heat Tool to help set it.

Here is an up close version to see the look it creates. It's so pretty in person!!

All 20 swaps ready to mail off!!
