Another goodie that arrived with my Big Shot order was the Harvest Home Stamp Set. I’m just crazy for Pumpkins and when I saw that set I knew I’d just have to add it to my collection.

Here is a Thanksgiving card I made using the pumpkin patch scene stamp and practicing a watercolor technique with my Stampin’ Write Markers. I highlighted the pumpkins and trees in the background with a sprinkling of copper glitter to set them off and it really added a beautiful touch.

Recipe: Stamps used: Harvest Home, Holiday Wishes. Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Basic Black and Watercolor Paper. Inks used: Rose Red and Going Gray, More Mustard and Really Rust, Old Oliveand Summer Sun, Close to Cocoa and Creamy Caramel, and Bashful Blue. Greeting is stamped with Basic Black Craft Ink and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. Ribbon is 5/8″ Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon.

OMG I am so excited…my ‘baby’ has arrived!! I have long been a closet fan of my Sizzix, it’s one of the first large investments I made when I entered the world of scrapbooking and card making years ago. Can you imagine my excitement at convention when Shelli announced Stampin’ UP! has partnered with Sizzix to offer their Big Shot and also exclusive dies available only through SU? W-O-W! How awesome to be able to use this wonderful tool and all of it’s accessories on our scrapbook pages and with our cards…Creativity uncorked!

Here is a quick Petite Personal Notecard I put together using my Sizzix Impressions Basket Weave plate…
