Feminine Birthday Cards

 I'm still working on the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Papers.  These make it so easy to create your own cards.  The coordinating colors are on the back of the papers. 


I know it's hard to read, but I wanted you to know where to look!  For this paper, I could use Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Granny Apple Green, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow, Polished Pink and So Saffron.  Lots of choices!

The first card, I glued my paper to the cardstock and then ran it through the Stampin' Cut and Embossing machine using the Cascading Ruffles 3D embossing folder.  It does change the look of the card, don't you think?






If you have any questions on any of these cards, be sure to leave a comment below.  I'd love to have you in for a card class!

Masculine Cards

Today's share are cards I made using He's The Man Specialty Designer Series papers from Stampin' Up!  Lots of variations and definitely for the men in your life!  With card bases already, I was able to add the embellishments quickly.  Most pieces used were included in the paper pack!





With card bases all ready, I was able to add the embellishments quickly.  Most pieces used were included in the paper pack!

By the Bay Card Class Reschedule

Today's share are cards I had planned for our March class.  It was cancelled due to health issues.  If you'd like to make this set of cards, contact me to schedule a "play date."  I'll be making up new cards for April class. 

I used the By the Bay Bundle for these cards.  I saw a card with this angle layering and started playing with different ideas.  


This second card has no sentiment on it as I was leaving it up to you to decide what to put on it.  I was inspired to make this card by my sister, Marilyn.  



This third card is for the advanced stampers, who like to die cut and dress up their cards.



I hope these inspire you to create your own masterpieces!  

Happy creations,

Awash In Beauty

Who's ready for Spring?  As I write this post, it's pouring rain, which will help my flowers to sprout.  To brighten your day, here are some cards I made using the Awash in Beauty designer series papers.  I was inspired by Tamara S. and Wanda P. when doing a Google search for Awash in Beauty.  Enjoy these cards! 





If you'd like to learn how to make your own hand made cards, leave me a message.  I hold classes in my home so all supplies are available!

Time to Celebrate

Here is another set of cards from the Time to Celebrate card kit.  If you look through some of my earlier posts, you will see where I used up some of the card bases from this kit for my Sympathy cards!

Thoughts & Prayers

Here are more cards I created using the Thoughts & Prayers Stamp set which has been retired for some time.  This is my "go to" stamp set when making Sympathy cards. Again, I used what I had on hand and used the Double Oval punch and the 1-3/4" circle punch.




Do you want to come learn how to make your own cards?  Let me know and we can set time aside to "play together!"

Peaceful Moments

Today I'm using the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set along with the retired Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.  Some of these cards are using scraps from a Paper Pumpkin kit, while I added pieces that were already embossed and ready to be used.  




The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments set. 

I hope you enjoy your day and get to spend time crafting.

Time to Celebrate

Did you know Stampin' Up! has kits that you can purchase without becoming a Paper Pumpkin subscriber?  In these kits, you will get an ink spot, a stamp set, a block, and supplies to make cards or crafts.  Today's share is very masculine.  I'm going to post four cards today and four more cards on Saturday so be sure to come back!





If you would like to come put a kit together with me, let me know ahead of time so I have two of the same kit available!

Sunshine & Smiles

I had a lot of fun using this Paper Pumpkin kit!  I was making these cards in a meeting and wound up giving one of them away to show how easy the kits are to put together.  If you're wanting to dip into card making, this would be a great start.  You're first kit comes with stamps, ink, block and enough supplies to make at least 8 cards or treat boxes.




And who wouldn't enjoy rain showers and rainbows?  These are just adorable.  I did cut mine down and used additional cardstock to finish.   Remember, all my cards are for sale and I'm open to teach you how to make your own cards!

Sympathy Cards

Today's cards were created due to too many people needing sympathy cards!  I used the retired stamp set, Noble Deer, and the new stamp set, Hope & Prayer.  The new set is available until the 30th of April.  I do not know whether it will be carried over into the new Annual Catalog.  





I hope these inspire you to get your stamps, ink, and paper out to create!

He's The Man

Today's share are the last that I have photographed to post of He's the Man Designer Series Papers.  This paper is still available for purchase!  Coordinating colors I used are Crumb Cake, Early Expresso and Cajun Craze.  




All of my cards are for sale.  I start out at $3 a card which includes an envelope.  If you're a frequent buyer, I may give a discount.

More He's The Man Cards

I promised more cards using the He's The Man Designer Series papers from Stampin' Up!  If you don't open your papers, you won't know what you're options are for making cards or scrapbooking.  Inspiration for these cards is from Jackie B., a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I'm trying to get back to basics with cardmaking to bring in new people who want to learn.

Mint Macaron is as close to green that I could pull out of these papers.  To all those Irish, Happy St. Patrick's Day!



  Again, all I did was add cardstock to dress up these cards.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

Happy Crafting,

He's the Man

I'm finally getting into my Spring Catalog papers.  After I cut into the He's the Man Designer Series Papers and cut 4 x 6, I made these cards. Since I had a bit leftover, I added the small piece to the inside of each card. 

And last two pages are cute die cuts. All I did was add Cardstock!  Quick and easy. 





Happy crafting!

Come back tomorrow for more options.  #handmade #stampinup #hestheman
