Paper Pumpkin, April 2021, So Cool Part 3

 Paper Pumpkin, April 2021, So Cool Part 3

Today I'm sharing the cards I made with the Popsicle card bases and stickers in the kit.  The striped designer series paper is actually the inside of the envelopes included in the kit!

I so enjoyed this kit.  I had bits and pieces left over so I pulled some more retired designer series papers and made more cards!  Come back tomorrow to see those.

Happy Crafting,

Today I'm sharing the cards I made with the watermelon card bases and stickers in the kit.  I cut down the cards into quarters to make some of the cards. I also used the retired Watermelon Wonder cardstock and designer series papers.

Come back tomorrow to see the popsicles!  They were my favorite to work with.

Paper Pumpkin, April 2021, So Cool

So this is the kit I chose to take to my husband's first cancer treatment.  At first, I attempted to stamp there and quickly realized that was not going to work.  

So I took the kit back home and stamped everything, put dimensionals on what I knew I wanted popped up and put everything inside each card base.  The next week I was able to put them all together!  Here's one portion and then I'm going to post each card.  Since I made over 20 cards with this kit and some additional papers, I'll spread them over the next three days.

First I'll post the rainbow cards.  The rainbows were part of the kit as well as the sun.  If they were stickers, I mounted them onto basic white cardstock so I could pop them up.  

As you can see, they are colorful, cheery and hope they inspire the person receiving them.  These have already been donated.

Happy Crafting,

Using Up Paper Scraps

Using Up Paper Scraps

Can you guess which parts were scraps?  These are the last of my cards I made using up paper scraps. 

Here's what was scraps - the greenery designer paper on the first card, the framing (from PP tags) on the second card, and the floral bouquet on the third card.

I had fun making these and hope to share some more cards that I made and gave to the Cancer and Infusion centers tomorrow!

Paper Pumpkin, June 2021, Expressions in Color

I've shared some cards previously from this kit.  These are made from leftover vellum, die cut pieces and some card bases that came with the kit.  Sentiments are from the included stamp set.

I used my blends to highlight the different languages of Thanks as well as adding color to the flowers. I love how these turned out!

Monday I will post cards that I made with this kit and some leftover scraps in my scrap bin.

Masculine Cards

 Masculine Cards

These cards I purchased as a kit, but never made them.  I finally got around to making them while going through my incomplete cards. I used Sailing Home (retiring this month!) bundle.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for some more cards I made with the Expressions in Color Paper Pumpkin Kit!

April 2022 Card Class

April 2022 Card Class

These are the three cards I created for our April card class. Please call or email me to set up a time so you can come make them!  My schedule is open after 4 pm every week day.  Most days (T-Fri) I'm open from 10-2 pm.  Saturdays & Sunday afternoon are available as well.

The first two cards are using Dragonfly Garden (which is carrying over to new catalog!) 

The last card is made using the Dragonfly Dreams retired stamp set.  I didn't have the new Honeybee Home stamp set yet.

If you would like to purchase these cards as a kit, you will need to use your own stamp sets, dies, and ink.  Only the cardstock and designer series papers will be in the kit.

I appreciate your patience in scheduling a time to come stamp with me.  We're about half way through treatment, so class will be scheduled when I can.

Happy Crafting,

March 2022, New Horizons Paper Pumpkin Envelopes

March 2022, New Horizons Paper Pumpkin 

Today I'm sharing the cards I made using the envelopes from this kit.  I'm all about getting the most out of my kit.  I donate my cards to Cards for Troops, the Branson Cancer Center, and the Springfield Infusion Center.  

For the first card, I used the Nature's Harvest stamp set for the flowers.  The top portion of the card is an envelope.  The bottom piece is from my scrap bin.

For the next two cards, I used both sides of the envelope.  I had some diecut dragonflies (retired Dragonfly Dreams Bundle) in my scrap bin to add to the card.  The sentiment is from In the Moment Stamp set.

Again, I used both sides of the envelope for these next two cards.  The sentiments are from the New Horizons Paper Pumpkin kit.

These next two cards with no sentiments on them are made with an envelope and the cutouts from the kit.  

The last card was made in the same style as yesterday's cards but using the envelope.  The die cut is also from the kit. The sentiment is from In the Moment stamp set.

I hope these inspire you to make your New Horizons Paper Pumpkin kit!  If you didn't get the kit, I suggest you purchase the papers before they are gone!

Happy Crafting,
