StampNStencil Mix N Mingle Blog Hop


Hello and good morning friends, new and old!  
We are hopping with the Gina K and Therm-O-Web team for some fun new fall and winter  holiday products, I hope you've enjoyed what you've seen so far!  
You should be coming from 
Hannah's blog.  
I am the last on the list and very much appreciate you seeing the whole hop through, as I loved making today's cards for your inspiration and getting in the holiday spirit! If you are just now joining, you can go back to the beginning starting with 

Two random winners will be chosen from all of the comments on the hop today, so the more you comment, the better your chances! Entries are closed on Monday night and winners will be announced by September 11th at 10 AM Central.  
Good luck to you!

First up we have the Autumn Wishes collection, I so love making fall cards and look forward to it every year!

 Autumn Wishes


Lots of happy little trees and happy little leaves make me very happy! Tree and greeting are stamped in GKD Dark Chocolate and leaves are stamped in GKD Tangerine Twist.  Add some depth and texture with the gorgeous coordinating stencil and a Life Changing Blending Brush in GKD Kraft and dark Chocolate ink. Trace some white highlights with a gel pen for extra pop, and don't forget to glitz it up with the new Pumpkin Spice Glitz Glitter gel and stencil.  Cardstock is Gina K. Pure Luxury Kraft and White.

Next is the Wishing You Joy Collection!

Wishing You Joy Collection

Love a lot of clean white space to go with these bold images! I used the GKD ink cubes Red Velvet, Passionate Pink, Lucky Clover to two step stamp the ornaments and holly and then did a direct to stamp ombre effect with Sea Glass and Tranquil Teal for the greeting, hangers and falling snow.  Holiday Pine Glitz Glitter Gel and the matching stencil make the ornament and holly sparkle! Cardstock is GKD Pure Luxury White and Sea Glass and Lucky Clover envelope.

  18. GORGEOUS ❣❣❣ Love both of your cards, but my fave is the fall card. I love the soft, stenciled blending behind the tree. It gives the feeling of wind blowing the leaves from the branches, as evidenced by the stenciled leaves off to the right of your tree. Very creative and beautiful. I'm lovin' all the sparkle too❣
