Paper Pumpkin A Little Smile Alternative Swish Technique

This is a really fast little card made with the A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin kit from June 2019 using the swish technique.

~Enjoy!

To make the background, I dragged Mint Macaron, Coastal Cabana and Crumb Cake ink pads across a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Hold the ink pad so that only the top edge hits the paper then quickly drag the pad across the paper back & forth in a diagonal. The trick here is not to press too hard, take a running start at your paper and do it really fast. I hand cut the banner from one of the envelope fronts. The sentiment is stamped in Soft Suede and a stamp from my stash. I added some sequins from the Heirloom Textures Sequins pack and topped the whole thing off with a bow made from Old Olive / Whisper White Thick Baker's Twine. The envelop is decorated with the Waterfront Stamp Set.

Paper Pumpkin A Little Smile Alternative Sailboats

Whatever do you do with all of the leftovers from the The A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin kit from June 2019? Make sailboats!

~Enjoy!

I had a ton of little leftover bits after using the back of the envelope flap for my sentiments and once I started playing with the shapes, some sailboats appeared, perfect fit for the theme of this kit! The background is Coastal Cabana embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. The "sea" is cut from one of the card fronts provided wit the kit layered over a piece of Whisper White. The boat hulls are hand cut from Old Olive & Coastal Cabana. The Sentiment is stamped with Old Olive and a stamp from my stash on a envelope flap cut down. I then added a bow made from the Silver & Whisper White Baker's Twine. The envelope is decorated with the Waterfront Stamp Set. So cute!

Paper Pumpkin A Little Smile Alternative Rachel Tessman

The wonderful Rachel Tessman created this card from the A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin kit from June 2019 & I just had to copy it!

~Enjoy!

The background was embossed Crumb Cake and the Subtle Embossing Folder. The focal uses a whole card from the kit & the fold is cleverly disguised behind the Linen Thread. I stamped my favorite birthday stamp from my stash in Old Olive. The envelope is decorated with the Waterfront Stamp Set.

Paper Pumpkin A Little Smile Alternative Beach

The A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin kit from June 2019 had so many great options for alternatives, the die cuts were really inspiring!

~Enjoy!

The background was embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder and Whisper White and layered on a card base of Whisper White. I cut apart 2 of the Old Olive Envelopes and placed them side by side to make use of the cute "wood-grain" background. I cut a wavy piece of Crumb Cake cardstock to mimic a sand dune and sponged it lightly by pouncing a sponge on the cardstock with some Soft Suede to give a sandy effect. I did the same thing for the sentiment only with Old Olive. The sentiment is stamped with Soft Suede and a stamp from my stash. The whole thing is topped off with a double bow made from Linen Thread from the kit. The envelope is decorated with the Waterfront Stamp Set.

Paper Pumpkin A Little Smile Alternate Grunge

The A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin kit from June 2019 was really cute. I just happened to have a last minute cruise set up for December, so these little rays of sunshine worked out well for thank you cards for the staff!

~Enjoy!

The background was embossed with the Seaside Textures Embossing Folder and Whisper White and that is layered on a card base of Whisper White for added dimension. I embossed some Crumb Cake with the Subtle Embossing Folder and inked the edges with some Soft Suede and a sponge and also roughed up the edges with a kitchen knife. I inked up one of the medallions with Soft Suede also. The sentiment is stamped with Coastal Cabana and has the bottom bordered in some Wink of Stella. I also sponged some Coastal Cabana ink on the backs of 2 of the fronds. The whole thing is topped off with a double bow made from Linen Thread from the kit and some Sequins from the Heirloom Textures Sequins pack. The envelope is decorated with the Waterfront Stamp Set.

Paper Pumpkin A Little Smile Alternative Embossing

The A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin kit from June 2019 just makes me smile and say ahhhhhh.......

~Enjoy!

I CASED this card by embossing Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Soft Suede with the Seaside Textures Embossing Folder. I cut the pieces & taped them to a piece of copy paper, making sure to seal the seams really well before running it through my machine. That is layered on a card base of Old Olive. The focal is one of the card fronts from the kit layered over a piece of vellum. The sentiment is stamped with Coastal Cabana and a stamp from my collection and the bottom is bordered with a little Wink of Stella. It is topped off with a bow made from Linen Thread from the kit. The envelope is decorated with the Waterfront Stamp Set, Old Olive, Crumb Cake & Soft Suede.
