May Paper Pumpkin

Welcome to my blog. The May Paper Pumpkin Kit coming out will include the new in colors. This will give you a chance to play with them before the new annual catalog comes out. We will all know the names of the new colors April 24.
 For those that don’t know what Paper Pumpkin is , it is an inclusive crafting kit. This kit has the materials to make 12 cards. 8 are full size and 4 are note cards. They also come with envelopes. You receive a stamp set, ink and all the materials to make your cards. During this time of stay at home this can give you a chance to make cards and send to family and friends that you can’t visit with at this time. With the left overs you can make other cards. I save the stamps and inks and use them for other projects.
You can skip months or quit any time. Check the link below for more information and the different ways to order.

To A Wild Rose Bundle/updates

Welcome to my blog. Yesterday I shared a simple card using the stamp set To A Wild Rose. Today I made one using the bundle.

I stamped the flower image on a piece of scrap paper I had. Then die cut out using the matching die.
I used another piece of scrap to cut out the leaves. I used glimmer paper to cut out the border. I then adhered everything to the card front.

Updates :
There is new product on the Clearance Rack. Check it out.
The next Paper Pumpkin will introduce some new incolors.

To A Wild Rose simple card

Welcome to my blog. Hope your staying well. If your looking for something to do while sheltered in place card making is something you might want to try. With ink, paper and a stamp set you can make beautiful cards to send to those you can’t be with. They will enjoy receiving a hand made card from you. I’ve started to show case some of my favorites from the Stampin Up Catalogs. For this card I used the stamp set To a Wild Rose.

Materials and Directions:
1. Card base. Made from 8-1/2 x 11 Whisper White cardstock. Cut the card stock at 5-1/2 on the 11 inch side. Take one piece and fold in 1/2. This will give you a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 card. The other piece you will need for stamping the image.
2. For the layering piece I used a 5-1/4 x 4 piece of Perennial Essence DSP. I glued to the front of the card.
3. I cut the other piece of Whisper White 2-3/4 x 5-1/4. I stamped the rose image using Pineapple Punch ink for one layer and top layer in Daffodil Delight ink. I then stamped the leaves using Pear Pizzazz. I glued this layer on top of the DSP layer.
3. I used 2 Granny Apple Green cardstock pieces 3/4 x 5-1/4. I glued these to the sides. This gives the  illusion that there is another layer. This saves on paper.
4. I haven’t decided on a sentiment for the inside yet. Probably a Birthday card. Have several May birthdays coming up.
 You can buy this stamp set and other products I used from my website. Remember to use the Host Code 76R7GTXN for orders less than $150.
Tomorrow I’ll show another card using this stamp set and it’s coordinating dies.
