Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - First Frost Stamp Set

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Welcome to October's Stamping Sunday Blog Hop. This month we are featuring the stunning First Frost Stamp Set. This was one of the first sets to hit my wish list when the Holiday Catalogue was released, I absolutely adore the water colour washed images.

For this months challenge I created a gift box and a couple of cards. All the cards have a whisper white card base. The Gift Box has a Blushing Bride base with a Whisper White Lid.

The Gift Box Lid has been stamped in Highland Heather, Soft Sea Foam, Flirty Flamingo, Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo.

The first card has panels of Soft Sea Foam, Powder Pink and Tropical Escape DSP. The images from Floral Frames have been stamped with Memento Tuxedo onto Whisper White and die cut. These have been mixed with the images from the First Frost stamp set and sentiment from Painted Glass.

The second card has a card front that uses a similar floral display as the Gift Box, stamped in similar colours just more vividly by stamping the images a few times using my Stamparatus.

The centered panel has been raised using white fun foam and then adhered to the card base with Tombow. This allows a little bit of wiggle room, as I eyeball everything when it comes to placement, and I find things with height can be deceiving when trying to get them straight.

The third card is bright and colourful one. I have a whole pack of these gorgeous Coloured Doilies that I wanted to needed to stop hoarding and start using. The inspiration for this card was the Coastal Cabana Doily. I started by cutting one in half and adding bits and pieces until I was happy. A layer of Coastal Cabana card has been used to break up the white layers and coordinate with the doily.

The sentiment from Follow Your Dreams stamp set has been adhered with foam strips for lots of height. To finish the card, a few Grapefruit Grove Faceted Dots have been added.

The last card was fairly quick and simple and probably my favourite of the four. The card front is a piece of whisper white card ripped on an angle and stamped with the sentiment from Floral Frames. A piece of Sahara Sand card was embossed with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder and adhered to the whisper white card base with Tombow.

The two flowers from First Frost stamp set were inked in Berry Burst and Melon Mambo. The rest of the images have been stamped in Soft Sea Foam and Memento Tuxedo inks. The floral elements were adhered to a banner created from Sahara Sand card with dimensionals. To finish the card some Linen Twine was added and a few Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

The Gift Box is a fantastic size, this one holds a mini tea cup candle and its saucer with room for some choccies around the sides.
