First is my entry for Poppystamps Make it Magic October challenge. I thought that would mean things like elfs or witches or mermaids. Lucky for me, the challenge is actually to add some sparkle--right up my alley! 
I die cut Poppystamps 2014 Twirly Whirly Tree 3 times from white cardstock and once from the white/iridescent glitter cardstock from Memory Box Holiday Glitter pack. All the pieces remained in place when I removed the tree from the die. It was so beautiful, I decided to make the top tree green using Distress Oxide rustic wilderness. Then I paper pieced the glitter cardstock pieces into the green tree. So glad I did, as it's truly beautiful in person. You can see the sparkle in my IG post. Simple framing using Gina K rectangle dies and a favorite W&W sentiment finished the card. I'll make another card with the glitter cardstock outline tree. Can't let it go to waste! I'm also entering WAW.
My other card is for the October Papertrey Ink Challenge with the color combo Classic Kraft, Vintage Cream and Scarlet Jewel. 
The PTI products I used are Joyful Florals stamp set/dies, Vintage Cream and Classic Kraft cardstock, Scarlet Jewel printed paper, Classic Kraft and Scarlet Jewel ink cubes, Scallop Stackers: Small and Delicate Circle die. The sentiment was gold embossed and the poinsettia centers were colored with a Pental gold Color Pop pen. You can see the shimmer and shine in my IG post.
Such elegance on the first and beautiful blend of colour on the second.
