Look for the next blog to hop to at the bottom of my post. If you get lost along the way, you can see all the participants   HERE . I created two traditional cards with this set.   I love the pine cone branch!  It was really fun to work with.  Let's take a look at each card. On this card, I stamped with Charcoal ink on Vanilla Cardstock and used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers for coloring.  Gold shimmer trim and embellishing tread along with Gold Glitter gems accent the card. Creating a wreath with the pine branch was easy.  I traced a circle onto the cardstock and then stamped the pine branch around the wreath creating a perfect circle!  Ag

Since most everyone is already thinking about Christmas cards this time of year, I thought it would be fun to create a Christmas card with this stamp set!   I chose the word Blessings for the sentiment on this card.  Don't you just love that bold writing?  I thought the flower would make nice poinsettias so I stamped two with Ruby ink and then the third flower is actually 2nd generation stamping with Ruby!  And look!!! It's a perfect match with the zip strip from the Mix-in paper pack.  Here are all of the products that I used on this card

This stamp is wonderful for scrapbook pages!  I decided to create a Picture My Life card to add to my Hawthorn layout from the Hawthorn Scrapbooking Workshop kit. First I stamped the sentiments onto the Toffee Cardstock (light side).  Then, I used the base leaves from the Layered Leaves thin cuts to emboss onto the card.  If you have never done this before, it is really cool!  You need a rubber mat for your die cut machine.  Instead of placing the cut side of the thin cut down onto the cardstock, you place the cutt
