The November Card Kit from Simon Says was filled with great patterned papers and some really cute die cuts. I don't usually create without using the stamp set from the kit, but I didn't touch the stamps for either of these cards.
I love the fall colors of this card--perfect for a November birthday. I trimmed around the die cut so there wasn't so much white, added some brown glitter (I think from a previous card kit) to the cap of the acorn, and a bit of gold pen to the veins of the leaf. The sentiment from Papertrey's "Birthday Style" was trimmed by hand into a banner and tied with some thin twine, also from Papertrey.
I also needed an anniversary card, and love this card by Debbie Hughes where she used a cluster of the die cuts. I added another pear to the group, and created the sentiment on the computer and die cut it with one of the banner dies from Papertrey's "Simple Frames."
I added some Stickles Glitter to the pears and berries.
It was fun to create a couple cards using some different types of materials. Another reason I love my subscription to the card kit.
