Bright Star Stampers : Pick of the Patch Fall Card & Merry and Bright Christmas Card

Today's cards are a mix of fall cards and Christmas cards. Why not? The stores have both seasons out so I can make cards for each season.

The fall card uses Pick of the Patch bundle on page 51 of the mini catalog. It's a bundle with a punch.

I used fall colors, of course. Crumb cake card base and Inked Botanicals Designer Series paper for the color. Cajun craze pumpkins and Pumpkin Pie pumpkin with that cute Very Vanilla and Black Large Checked ribbon adds just the right amount of that fall feel. The pumpkin is popped up on dimensionals. The inside is blank for your message. The supply list is at the bottom of this post.

Cutting Instructions:

Card Base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4. This is a landscape card
Designer Series Paper: 3 x 4
Cajun Craze: 4 1/4 x 3 1/2
Very Vanilla: 4 x 3

My second card today uses some of the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper and that pretty Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon. It is an online exclusive and isn't in either catalog. The supply list for this card is at the bottom of this post.

This card is very easy but packs a punch. The center panel is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to give it some attention. The Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon is wrapped around the panel for about an inch on each side and stuck down. I love the little bit of gold it adds. The circle is die cut with a Stitched Shapes die.

The inside sentiment is done a little differently for this card. I layered two sizes of the Stitched Shapes square dies to bring attention to the sentiment but still leave plenty of room to write a message.
