Fall into Savings with Paper Pumpkin

Hi, Crafters! I thought I would catch up on my Paper Pumpkin kits I get in the mail. Here I have July's kit that I haven't had a chance to put together. There's four different cards, two of each design. Of course, you can alternate them to your own design with the materials or any extras you have.

Here are two cards from the Positively Picturesque kit from July.
Here a few of my alternate ideas:
This card I die-cut the scallop Lemon Lime Twist cardstock with the Layering Circles Framelits. I watercolored the background in Daffodil Delight before I stamped the tulips.
Here I stamped the tulips on the watercolor design already on the card base. Stamped the sentiment then added washi tape and wooden tulips already included in the kit. 
This one I used the Pretty Label punch and stamped the tulip and sentiment, added a Rhinestone Basic Jewels. I watercolored again on Whisper White cardstock and layered a 3 1/2" x 1" part of the envelope. Then layered on a Powder Pink cardstock and adhered to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

There are so many other possibilities with this kit and my samples are pretty easy and straight forward. New Subscribers get a 50% off introductory discount for one month. This is a great deal to try Paper Pumpkin. The kit will be delivered to your door, complete with everything to make fun, shareable cards and projects. 



Happy crafting!

Hi Crafters! I have a few more Feathery Friends mini cards. I couldn't help it, but I wanted to make a couple of more of these cards. I don't usually color, but this time Feathery Friends gave me a chance to color with my Stampin' Write Markers and relax a little. I used the Subtles Collection, I wanted to tone down the brightness. Although, these cards still look a little bright to me. Again I made the mini envelopes with Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.

Feathery Friends mini card


Hi, Crafters! Today I have a cute mini card and envelope. I originally wanted to watercolor with ink colors, but I decided to use the watercolor pencils instead. Anyway I stamped the image on watercolor paper, but you can stamp on white card stock. I kind of like the texture of the watercolor paper, though. I used a blender pen to smooth out the colors. Then I die cut the image with the Stitched Shapes and layered with Layering Circles Framelits Dies. It's so simple and fun to make, and a nice gift card to add to any gift. I made the matching envelope with Daisy Delight DSP and the Envelope Punch Board.
