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!

If you love interactive cards, you're going to enjoy this elegant Peek-A-Boo Slider Card! At first glance, the rich botanical pattern from the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper takes center stage with its deep greens, delicate ferns, and warm golden blossoms. But with one simple pull, a hidden surprise is revealed, making this card as fun to open as it is beautiful to display. For this design, I paired the gorgeous Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper with Mossy Meadow and Golden Glow cardstock to bring out the rich colors in the paper. The layered circular slider creates the perfect focal point, revealing the "Thinking of You" at first glance

This beautiful birthday card combines soft, feminine colors with a wonderful fun-fold design. The textured Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper creates the perfect backdrop for the layered die-cut flowers and rich green leaves. A coordinating belly band wraps around the front panel and features a large “Happy Birthday” greeting framed with a Peaceful Pine stitched oval. Scalloped Petal Pink ribbon, a delicate flower, and coordinating embellishments add the perfect finishing touches. This lovely card is sure to make any birthday feel extra special!

This warm and cheerful birthday card features the beautiful Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper layered on a Cajun Craze card base. The detailed flowers and leaves, cut with the Radiant Sunflowers Bundle, are arranged on a Cajun Craze stitched circle and framed by a large circular opening for added depth and dimension. Very Vanilla cardstock softens the rich color palette, while a delicate Baker's Twine bow and coordinating embellishments provide the finishing touches. The “Happiest Birthday Wishes!” greeting makes this card perfect for celebrating someone special!

There’s something about sunflowers and warm fall colors that makes a card feel extra cheerful! I love how this fun fold design creates several different areas to showcase the beautiful Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper while still keeping those sweet sunflowers front and center. The rich Early Espresso card base pairs beautifully with the Cajun Craze and floral patterns, while the Cajun Craze vases and green leaves add just the right pop of color. The two die-cut sunflowers really bring the card to life, and the simple “Hello, Friend” greeting makes this a wonderful card to send for almost any occasion. A few little embellishments from the 2026-28 In Color Gems scattered around the card add just a touch of sparkle without taking away from all those gorgeous fall colors. This is one of those cards that looks impressive when it’s standing up, but is much easier to create than you might think!
