I have seen LOTS of the Foil Techniques and I thought it would be FUN to use Foil for the Die Cuts on my Card!! I've used the Heidi Swapp Rose Gold Foil and then to add the Stitching to the Pumpkins I've used a Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Die!! It fits the Pumpkins PERFECTLY and I LOVE the added detail!! I've also Stamped and Embossed some Leaves from the Newton's Nook Designs Falling into Autumn Stamp Set!! My Sentiment is a "SNEAK PEEK" from an upcoming Reveal!!?? SQUEAL!!

For my Gift Tag I've used a Lawn Fawn Circle Stitched Tag Die Set and Die Cut some Patterned Paper!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Chevron Pumpkin Image onto some Patterned Paper!! Once Cooled I Inked up the Un-Embossed Chevron Parts of the Image added some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker and covered it again with Clear Embossing Powder!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the look!! I Die Cut the Face and added it to the Image added a Stem, Leaf and some Twine and my Tag was done!! For my Last Project I've made some SWEET Little Dum-Dum Sucker Treat Holders!! These Pumpkin Images are the PERFECT Size for the Dum-Dum Suckers!! So I've used a Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Strip Die and Created my Base!! I found I had to fold it in the center in order for them to Stand Up!! I Stamped the Images onto Patterned Paper and then added some Sticky Stuff Powder and the Glitter!! I just LOVE the Look of the Glitter!! You can add as MUCH Detail as you like or have time for as you can see I've made two different Versions!! SQUEAL!! Aren't these the CUTEST!!??
