Here are my projects made with the kit:

I used one of the SSS Seasonal Whimsy card fronts for this card. I stamped several of the elements in the Homespun Gratitude stamp set with Cocoa PSInk, colored them with Copics and die cut them out with the matching Homespun Gratitude dies.

I attached all of the images to the background creating a little scene in the center. I stamped a sentiment from the Homespun Thanksgiving stamp set using the stamp set with the same Cocoa PSInk and die-cut it out with the matching dies. I attached some Copper Nuvo Drops around the background.

This card was not meant to look like this. I had one of those experiences where everything goes wrong so instead of giving up you go in a different direction. I embossed the Verdant Wreath EF in the kit using white cardstock. I colored it with Copics but one of my greens was over-filled and leaked all over my wreath twice. I decided to fix it by cutting it out and using a white Uniball over the edges of some of the leaves. I stamped the little blanket image with Cocoa PSInk and colored it with Copics.

I used the Copper Kraft Cardstock in the kit for the background. I die-cut it with the A2 Hand-Stitched Rectangle Dies. I attached the wreath to the center with the blanket image on the bottom of it. I stamped a sentiment with Cocoa PSInk again and glued it to the center of the wreath. I tied some orange ribbon along the bottom of the card. I added some sequins around the wreath.

I applied PSInks to the outside edges of the tags in the kit. I die-cut one of the smaller A2 Hand-Stitched Rectangle Dies from two of the cardstock colors in the kit and attached them to the center of each tag. I stamped some of the images in the Homespun Gratitude stamp set using Cocoa Ink and die-cut them out. I glued the images and sentiments to the front of each rectangle. I tied some ribbon and twine to the top of each tag.

I love this Homespun Gratitude October 2026 card kit for making Fall cards and tags! I hope you enjoyed my creations! Thank you for stopping by! suzy
