September Box of the Month Inspiration with Julee

Hi friends! It's Julee Tilman stopping by with a little autumn inspiration featuring the Not 2 Shabby September Box of the Month. This box is gorgeous, filled with tons of pumpkin spice goodness and fall imagery and I just love it! Today I'm sharing the first three cards I made with the kit.

I started my crafty session by stamping out all the images in the three stamp sets included in the box, then coloring with Copic markers that coordinate with the Pumpkin Spice and Hedge Hugs paper pads included in the box. I selected a few sentiments from one of the stamp sets in the box and stamped them on plain cardstock, then cut and matted with an assortment of EZ Wonder dies and add-ons.

I tried to let my Brother Scan 'n Cut do the cutting, but it's alignment is on the fritz, so I ended up trimming some of the images by hand. There are coordinating dies available to add on that would have made this a breeze, but I didn't have them when I was creating. I chose some papers from the gorgeous Pumpkin Spice paper pad together and then put my cards together, adding lots of sparkle and glossy accents to the stamped mages.  For embellishment I used the Pumpkin Spice Sparkling Enamel Dots as well as a few die cut hearts from the EZ Wonder add-ons.

For my third card, I created my own patterned paper by stamping several of the leaf and pumpkin images from the box randomly all over the card base. The subscription box is currently sold out, but you can add yourself to the waitlist to be notified when a spot opens up.  You can also purchase the papers and ephemera individually in the shop.  Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day!
