A Paper Pumpkin Thank you!

March 7, 2018

Some of these products came from the February Paper Pumpkin

This card was created with the help of our Monthly Subscription kit "Paper Pumpkin." Paper Pumpkin is like receiving a surprise in the mail each month. It is a kit with all the products and the instructions to make whatever is inside. Most of the time it is a set of cards. Occasionally it is a 3-dimensional item. We never know what it is until we get it. In February we some of received the products used to make this cute card. It is not the card that was intended for this kit. I like to take it apart and use it for other ideas. I used One Big Meaning stamp set to create a Thank You card.

MEASUREMENTS:
Whisper White - 4 1/4 x 11 (scored at 5 1/2), 3 1/8 x 4 1/2
Flirty Flamingo - 4 x 5 1/4
Paper Pumpkin - 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 (Black)
Basic Black - 1 1/8 x 2
Vellum - 1 x 3
Sweet Soiree DSP - 5/8 x 3 1/2

In Color Enamel Shapes - I found out after using these that they had retired. They were available last year so if you have some laying around this is a good time to use them. No wonder they were such a good price when I purchased them.

If you have been following me you know that I love the Berry Burst Metallic Edge ribbon that came out recently. Well here is a way to have every color with that metallic edge!! Purchase a roll of the Whisper White with Silver edge ##144213 or the Very Vanilla with the Gold edge #144146 and use either the Stampin' Blends (which are alcohol based makers) or the Stampin' Write Markers (which is what I used here) and color the ribbon. The markers take a little longer to dry so if you plan ahead you could color today and attach the bow tomorrow or before you send the card. This ribbon works so well for this technique!

Happy Stamping!

Let your Christmas wishes take wing with this beautiful Four Wing Christmas card!

This cheerful fall fun fold card combines pretty plaid, textured layers and a trio of colorful pumpkins! I used Calypso Coral and Basic White cardstock with Painted Patch Designer Series Paper for a fresh, welcoming autumn look. The Basic White panels are embossed with the Stone & Leaves embossing folder, adding a lovely leafy texture that complements the pumpkin patch theme. The diagonal cut give the card extra interest while allowing the layered focal point to take center stage. For the centerpiece, I layered a plaid panel over a Calypso Coral arch, creating a frame for pumpkins die cut from Calypso Coral, Timid Tiger and Crisp Cantaloupe. I love how these three shades work together, giving each pumpkin its own personality! Old Olive leaves and curling vines weave around the pumpkins and extend up the arch, bringing a touch of greenery to the design. A Basic White label with the “Warm wishes” greeting finishes the card beautifully, making it a sweet way to send a little autumn happiness to someone special.

This card is such a fun way to say “Oh, Happy Day!” It could be used for a retirement, birthday or any special occasion. I started with Basic Black Cardstock, which creates a bold frame and really makes the softer colors stand out. The beautiful watercolor background comes from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper, with a little black-and-white pattern peeking out for added interest. The balloons from Balloon Festoon add the perfect touch of whimsy and dimension, while the greeting from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack makes creating the focal point quick and easy. I love how all of these elements come together for a cheerful card that could be used for a birthday or just about any happy occasion!

This cheerful Stampin’ Up! card features a soft, monochromatic color palette with Crisp Cantaloupe from Painted Pattern Designer Series Paper, using the playful polka dots and coordinating horizontal strips. The oversized “Thinking of You” greeting that is die cut in Crisp Cantaloupe using the "Thinking of You" dies takes center stage, layered over Basic White for added dimension. Adding Crisp Cantaloupe Bordered Ribbon, a delicate White Baker's Twine bow, and 2026-28 In Color Gems provide the perfect finishing touches to this sweet card that is sure to brighten someone’s day.

This fun easel card features a beautiful mix of warm, earthy colors. The flowers from the Lovely Arrangements Bundle were created using the no-line coloring technique with Pecan Pie, Basic Beige, and Golden Glow, then layered with leaves from Nature's Symphony Dies against a rich Peaceful Pine background. Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake cardstock add softness, while a striped piece of Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper brings extra pattern and interest. Peaceful Pine Bordered Ribbon, tied in a simple bow, and coordinating embellishments complete the card front. The birthday greeting inside serves as the stopper that holds the easel open, making this card as fun to display as it is to receive!
