Stampin’ Up! definitely ended 2023 on a high note. The All the Best Paper Pumpkin kit is gorgeous! This is probably my favourite kit of 2023. The colours are nice and bright and the sentiments are lovely. Plus I love the gold foil and dandelion images! It totally reminds me of a stamp set from a couple of years ago, Dandelion Wishes. That is one set that didn’t make it into my craft stash, so I’m definitely holding on to this one.

I didn’t make too many alternative projects with this kit because I love the original designs so much. But I did make a few. For my first alternative card project I just mixed and matched what was in the kit. I used one of the Balmy Blue card bases and cut up one of the envelopes for my main image. Then I trimmed one of the gold foil circles and added a dandelion I fussy cut as part of another alternative project.

The other dandelions I fussy cut went to make a different kind of project. This could be a framed piece or the focal point of a scrapbook page. To make it, I trimmed one of the other Balmy Blue card bases and popped up the gold foil square with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals, with the dandelions just behind it.

I made one other alternative card project with the All the Best Paper Pumpkin kit. Catch the replay over on my Facebook page where I made it last night.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared some cards from a now not so recent card swap with my team. This card swap was to show off products from the August-December Mini Catalogue. This time around I’m sharing some of the gold foil Christmas cards that were made. I love all the foil and metallic papers! And for the upcoming holidays using foil is a no-brainer.

This first card was made by Moira Sands. She used the Gift Wrapped bundle to create this card that looks just like a present. Along with the foil she used Pretty Peacock. I really like how these colours go together.

One of my other favourite things to do is heat embossing. It’s such an easy way to add something special! Like Moira’s card this card uses foil and heat embossing. Except this time it’s with gold and the Sweetest Time bundle. This card was made by Eileen McAuliffe and I always love her cards. Along with the foil she used some Garden Green cardstock to create some more layers. I really like how she only used a piece of Basic Black for the card. It really make the gold stand out.

Now, last but not least is my favourite of these three cards! It was made by Vicki Howie. Even though you need a die cutting machine to create the layers, this is a pretty simple card. I’m a big fan of simple cards which could be why I like this one so much. I love how she paired the Tis the Season Designer Series Paper (on the left) with the Plaid Tidings DSP (on the right). Plus she included some Gilded Gems “on the side” so we could decide if and where we wanted to use them.
