Awesome Add-ons: October Edition

Welcome to this month’s Awesome Add-ons feature! Before we check out today's card, here’s a look at all of the add-on products introduced along with the October kit – 4 stamp sets, 3 coordinating Frame Cuts, 1 Paper Layering die, 1 wood mounted stamp, and 3 Stamp & Cut sets!

Yesterday Michelle shared some beautiful Christmas tags featuring the Santa's Door Accessories set and today Amy is here with some warm and cozy add-on inspiration. Take it away, Amy!

Amy: Aren't the October Optional add-ons fabulous? I couldn't wait to give the Winter Hearth Stamp & Cut a try!

Although this looks pretty simple, I used quite a bit of different products. Let's start from the bottom and work our way up. The base panel is from the Blush Mix Layering Papers. I added an Earth Mix Layering Paper panel that has the Holiday Florals Bold Prints stamped in Soft Brown Shadow Ink.

The Winter Hearth Stamp & Cut is a combo of Blush Mix Layering Papers and Snow Layering Papers. Do you see the mantel? It's an upcycled coffee cup sleeve.

The fireplace has a log stamped in Cup 'O Joe Mid-Tone Shadow Ink. The flames are a combo of Ombre' Butter Bar to Orange Soda with bits of Red Royal Mid-Tone Shadow Ink (that I smooshed around with my fingers before stamping it) and Butter Bar Mid-Tone Shadow Ink on the tips of the flames. The fireplace grate has been heat embossed with Copper.

The stockings have been stamped with Intense Black and colored with Copic markers.

The wall art is from the Santa's Door Accessories + coordinating Frame Cuts. The sentiment is from the Winter Hearth Stamp & Cut and fit perfectly into the frame! The enamel dot is from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Look for even more October add-on inspiration tomorrow!
