Paper Pumpkin Alternatives March 2019 - Yellow

The envelope lining for this month's Paper Pumkin (Poppin' Birthday) was super cute & I found myself making more alternatives with it than the items that were supplied!

~Enjoy


This one looks really close to the pink one I made - it is - I CASEd myself! I loved how the pink cupcake one came out so I decided to replicate it again in yellow.

The cupcake is from the Hello Cupcake set stamped in So Saffron & then I hand traced it with Soft Suede. I topped it off with a generous helping of Wink of Stella and popped it up with dimensionals. I peeled off some sequins from the Mini Sequin Trim & applied them to the frosting.

I applied some Daffodil Delight to a sponge & very lightly tapped around the edge of the white cardstock giving it a slightly speckled appearance as well as adding some color. Happy Birthday is stamped with Soft Suede.

All of the background papers are torn, some top & bottom. The background is again from the envelope liner and the edges sponged with Daffodil Delight, the plaid is made using the Gingham Gala paper & then I added additional thin & thick lines using Soft Suede markers. The hat stamp included in the set is inked in Daffodil Delight on Daffodil Delight cardstock and the white is embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder. Soft Suede is applied to all of the pieces to dirty up the card a bit more. Tying the whole thing together is some Yellow and White Baker's Twine and some Mini Sequin Trim in gold!!!

The envelope is stamped with Daffodil Delight and Soft Suede using the Amazing Life & Hello Cupcake stamp sets.


This cute cupcake card uses the envelope lining as the background. The bottom section is a two inch swatch trimmed from the inside of the card with the presents / cake trimmed away. The light yellow was embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder. Both were scuffed with scissors and sponged with Soft Suede & it is topped off with a strip of Mini Sequin Trim to hide the seem & add some glitz! The whole card sits on a Soft Suede base.

The Cupcake from Hello Cupcake is stamped with Daffodil Delight and topped with a Soft Suede sentiment. I added some rhinestones colored with Daffodil Delight Blends for a little more sparkle. Another strip of mini sequin trim & some ribbon from my stash completes the look.

The envelope is stamped with the Hello Cupcake stamp set and Daffodil Delight & Soft Suede.


This was the first attempt at an alternate using the packages from the inside of the card provided with the kit. Happy Birthday is stamped in Memento Black ink and all of the packages are topped with Black Mini Sequin Trim. The bow is from the kit with the big border trimmed down. I added some details to the bow with black and yellow markers and popped them all up with dimensionals.

The light yellow background is made from two 2" swatches trimmed from the inside of the card with the presents / cake trimmed away. The light yellow was embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder. This is all layered on Basic Black & Daffodil Delight and I add some retired gold sequins for some added glitz!

The envelope is stamped with the Hello Cupcake and Amazing Life stamp sets and inked with Daffodil Delight and Memento Black ink and small dots were hand done with Flirty Flamingo and Bermuda Bay markers.


I played around with all of these leftover little triangles for a while before deciding on a pinwheel/sunshine element for this card. I trimmed all the leftover pieces to the smallest size / shape triangle I had. I adhered all the triangle to white cardstock & then ran them through the Corrugated embossing folder along the striped lines.

Those were then applied to a Daffodil Delight Card front that was embossed with the Swirls & Curls Embossing folder and the edges are sponged with Soft Suede.All of the triangles are popped up with dimensionals. The center is cut with Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies in So Saffron & Soft Suede and a little circle of white behind them.

Sunshine is cut twice from So Saffron & Soft Suede using the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies, stacked as offset so you see the yellow shadow and also popped up. "You" "are" and "my" are hand drawn, hand cut and popped up as well. Tied up neatly with a double stand of Linen Thread.

The envelope uses the cute border stamp from the Amazing Life stamp set and Soft Suede ink.

Spring Retreat - Wonderful Romance

I borrowed the Wonderful Romance & Wonderful Floral bundle from my friend Shannon to create these beauties below!

~Enjoy!


This one was CASEd from Pinterest & I loved it so much I decided to make it in additional colors below! This one is in Blackberry Bliss - one of my all-time favorite colors!



My friend Diane who was at the retreat was selling off a ton of paper and this one reminded me so much of the paper from Floral Romance DSP, so I snathced it up & with a little help from Pinterest created this one.


This is another version of the one above this time made with Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana.


One last one with Early Espresso, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake.

Spring Retreat - Simply Sketched

I simply fell in love with Simply Sketched that I borrowed from my friend Shannon. Most of these are CASEd from Pinterest, but I love how beautiful every card turned out!

~Enjoy!


My friend Shannon has a ribbon scrap box with all kinds of unique ribbons from past years and she only has these tiny scraps leftover in the box. Luckily she had this beautiful striped velvet that matched this card perfectly, here is the inspiration card from Pinterest.


Here is the inspiration card, I substituted out what I had on hand while traveling. I just adore the colors of this card and its simplicity.


I loved the doily background of the inspiration card, but since I did not have that I used some mottled blue background that I brought with me and an oval die to frame the bird. The leaves are from the Wonderful Floral Thinlits die set.


I was having so much fun with the Simply Sketched set, I had to make an original using the blue & brown cards above as inspiration! This card uses Berry Burst as the background embossed with the Layered Leaves embossing folder.

Stampin' Up! Convention Swap #3

After completing 200 cards for Stampin' Up's! 30th Convention - I found I had some extra time so decided to make 100 more simple Thanks cards using the Warm Hearted set - I just LOVE this set!!!

I started out with a black, red and white version, but after a few tries decides to go with Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. I love the results! The background image is stamped with the star clusters form the set, The red is embossed with my second favorite embossing folder, Swirls & Curls (Corrugated is my favorite) and I roughed up the edges of the red & the sentiment with the edge of my scissors. The banner is popped up in the middle and adhered flat on the edges to give some dimension. The rhinestones were colored with a Soft Suede Blends marker and finished off with a gold metallic-edge ribbon bow.

Don't forget to send out those after Christmas Thank you cards!!!!

~Enjoy




Here are 100 cards in production.

Gently Falling Paper Pumpkin Brown Glitter

The Gently Falling Paper Pumpkin colors are so pretty & I loved the embossed pillow box, although I really had no use for them, so I used them as background paper instead!

~Enjoy!



I cut the pillow boxes apart & added some glitter glue in bronze to enhance the embossed image. I did not get the stamp set with this Paper Pumpkin, I only got the refills, so I substituted the Vintage Leaves Stamp Set instead and stamped the leaves with Cajun Craze and Soft Suede. The card base is Very Vanilla and the sentiment is stamped with Cajun Craze and a "thank you" from my stash. The whole thing is topped with a bow made from Peekaboo Peach Seam Binding Ribbon and some die cuts from the Bouquet Bunch Dies. Here is pinspiration for this one.

Gently Falling Paper Pumpkin Green

The Gently Falling Paper Pumpkin was one of my favorites from September 2017 because of the beautiful leaves!

~Enjoy!



I got a little pinspiration for this one. I did not get the stamp set with this Paper Pumpkin, I only got the refills, so I substituted the Vintage Leaves Stamp Set instead. The background is Always Artichoke stamped on Always Artichoke cardstock. The focal leaf is stamped with Daffodil Delight and the sentiment is stamped with Soft Suede. I layered the focal on top of some brown glimmer paper from my stash and the strings are made from silver & cream Baker's Twine.
