HELLO card with stamps and dies

HEY BLOGGIES,

More rain again today.  Booooo...    I am wishing for clear blue skies, light breezes and dry, firm ground in the pastures.

In the meantime, I made some cards this weekend that I would like to share with you.

I used the card bases from My Paper Pumpkin.  I then used TIMELESS TEXTURES stamps to add more color to my card base with marina mist and crushed curry.  I also used my triple corner punch for the lovely little addition in the bottom two corners.

I punched out of marina mist a tag with my Tag punch and inked the edges before adhering a Simon Says Stamp HELLO die.  I added some cute yellow ribbon and adhered the tag onto the card with Stampin Dimensionals.

I think this is a clean and simple card and I am thrilled with the results of my design. I will share another one tomorrow with similar ideas.  Come on back to visit.

Hope you enjoyed this card.  If you have any questions, let me know.

PAPER PUMPKIN REFILL - MAKING CARDS

HEY BLOGGIES,

Have you heard that this month is the third birthday of PAPER PUMPKIN?  It is, and to celebrate this birthday event, PAPER PUMPKIN will be in a special BLUE BOX as well as be a special kit for this month.

HOW CAN YOU GET IT YOU ASK?  Just sign up BEFORE MARCH 15th and you will be able to receive this special kit directly to your door.  As always it is a surprise what will be inside, but since it is a special birthday celebration, I am guessing it is going to be very VERY special.  They always include a stamp set, ink spots, paper, embellishments, card bases, instructions and so much more.

So, I signed up to get mine for this month and while I was there, I got FEBRUARY'S HELLO SUNSHINE PAPER PUMPKIN REFILL KIT.  It is all the paper, stickers, embellishments, die cuts and instructions.  NO stamp set or Ink, but that's ok.  I have plenty of those.  And you know what?  It was only $8!!!

So, without further ado, here is one of the cards I already made with this refill kit:

With spring almost upon us, I went with blooming wildflowers for my card.  I only inked up one word from my stamp "blooming" and put that on the die cut washi tape shape, and then found a "be" to put onto my tag shape die cut.

 I used a few of the die cut leaf stickers from my kit and even used the "negative" parts for one of the leaves on the lower left.  I also used one of the negatives of the flower for that same spot.

The only other thing I added were some light yellow candy dots for the middle of some of the flowers as well as a pool party candy dot for the "BE" tag.

Hope you enjoyed my card made with this fun PAPER PUMPKIN REFILL KIT.  How economical is this!!  HERE IS THE CATCH - YOU MUST MUST BE A PAPER PUMPKIN SUBSCRIBER TO GET ANY REFILLS.  So that is why as soon as I signed up for the March Pumpkin, I purchased the February Refill.  I have been eyeing that kit since it came out last month, with those beautiful gold foil rose die cut stickers.  I will be showing a card using those next, so stay tuned!!

If you do not currently have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I would love for you to click my signature below when you order your BIRTHDAY PAPER PUMPKIN KIT or any other supplies you need.

See you again in a few days!!!

OH, I ALMOST FORGOT:  I have made a Pinterest site using the FEBRUARY PAPER PUMPKIN for ALTERNATIVE IDEAS from all over the web to help you decide if you NEED that refill before they are all gone!!

SWEET BIRTHDAY CARD FOR SWEET LITTLE GIRL

HEY BLOGGIES,

I HAVE A SWEET BIRTHDAY CARD FOR A SWEET LITTLE GIRL TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY.

The Letter Press embossing folder was used on the front, and I colored the "A" with Mossy Meadow ink because it is A for Adeline.  The adorable alligator is from Zoo Babies set, and the balloons are from the Paper Pumpkin May 2015 kit.  The "to you" is from Endless Birthday Wishes photopolymer set.

On the inside, I used a die cut balloon from the May 2015 Paper Pumpkin kit, as well as the stamp that came in the kit.  I really LOVE this stamp with the swirly string!!

Oh, and I put the smallest rhinestones in his eyes and colored his heart PINK!!

Thanks for stopping by.  Please come back again, won't you?

SMILE DIE CUT CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have another AUGUST PAPER PUMPKIN KIT special project for you today.  Hope you enjoyed the one I posted for you yesterday.  Look below if you missed it so you can see some ideas of creatively using your kit.

 I used mellow moss for my card base and cut the striped designer paper to just fit behind the 'SMILE" die cut.  I sponged around the white card stock with strawberry slush ink and a sponge. I used my corner rounder to round all the corners.

That's it!!  Easy peasy and FUN.  A cute quick card for someone who needs a SMILE!!

thanks for stopping by.

DIE CUT THANK YOU CARDS

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have been making some cards from this month's PAPER PUMPKIN CARD KIT.  I have cut things up, added card stock and generally changed them to be a bit different than the instructions call for.  You know me if you have visited me at all - I love to change things up and make them ...well...ME or MINE!!

The kit had a complete scored card of the striped designer paper, but I cut it to be a layer on top of the card stock strawberry slush card base with first a layer of mellow moss card stock then the striped layer.   The die cut "THANKS" is the top layer, where I adhered some 1/4" pieces of paper stripes.  Then I punched two small scalloped circles to make a flower with a small dot in the center of the flower.

I then used the dot stamp with strawberry slush stamped three times without reinking, then the mellow moss ink the same way.

Hope you enjoyed this AUGUST PAPER PUMPKIN project.  Come back tomorrow for another creative way to use parts of the kit, wont you?
