October 2023 Surprise Box

If you haven't ordered the October  2023 Surprise Box yet from Papertrey Ink, I'm here to show you two sweet cards I made using stamps and dies from it (remember...there are also stencils and a tool of some sort as well).

The sentiment was "manipulated" aka bent slightly to fit the banner die. I used this fave snowflake frame as the backdrop and added Crystal Stickles to give sparkle to the trees.

STAMPS: October 2023 Surprise Box.
INK: Pure Poppy, Scarlet Jewel, Honey Nut, Hawaiian Shores, Tropical Teal, Limeade Ice, Pinefeather; Versamark; Bundled Sage, Rustic Wilderness, Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, Ground Espresso, Weathered Wood, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans distress inks; Misty Coast Rocky Slope (PFS).
PAPER: Pure Poppy, White; Bristol Smooth Surface.
DIES: October 2023 Surprise Box, Snowflake Fun Frame, Border bling: Tin Stitch, Banner Builders: Basics.
OTHER: Crystal Stickles, Martha Stewart super fine glitter, Enamel dots, Gold embossing powder.

My next card uses the buffalo plaid stencil for the background.

I added super fine glitter to the snowdrifts and gold gems to the wreath.
