And today’s card does just that. Remember earlier in the week I cut apart the two envelopes from the March-2018 “May Good Things Grow” Paper Pumpkin kit and told you to save them? Well here’s the card made from a leftover piece. The card front is one of the card designs in the kit and […]
Best Wishes
Dear Friends deserve gorgeous cards, for any reason!
Today’s cards used the Paper Pumpkin “May good things grow” supplies that were designed for the front of the envelope, not the inside card. But it was too pretty not to be used on not just one card, but 2! Here’s the original envelope design from the kit: I carefully cut the envelope apart (save […]
Another may good things grow card
Today’s card follows the original card ideas (card on the left below) from the May Good Things Grow, March 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit, at least in spirit. Instead of using the Crumb Cake card as a card, I cut it in half and layered it under the Flirty Flamingo dots paper. I layered these on […]
May good things grow, all year round
And fall is a wonderful time to grow all kinds of vegetables and flowers. Unfortunately, I have a brown thumb and whatever survives in my garden is despite my valiant efforts! But I keep trying. Fortunately though, I can make fall cards, and I love doing it. I had one more unopened “fall” Paper Pumpkin kit […]
Fall colors, fall leaves, fall weather and more card ideas
Continuing with my fall theme and making fall cards, here are a few more ideas from Stampin’ Up!’s annual and holiday catalogs. And some beautiful cards from this bundle: The “Rooted in Nature” bundle is gorgeous and works for many seasons, but particularly nice for fall when combined with the Nature’s Poem DSP. Be sure […]
Blissful Blooms for today
Today I made the August Paper Pumpkin cards exactly how the instructions said to do it. From start to finish, including punching out all the green and clear velum leaves, it only took me 15 minutes to make the two cards! And if you did them all at once in an assembly line fashion, it […]
Ah, FMS350 didn’t disappoint me!
I was hoping that this week’s FMS sketch would fit the card idea floating in my head and it did! I was out of town until Sunday, so I didn’t have a lot of time to put my card together in time for the challenge. I made another Animal Expedition card, this time with the […]
Tropical Chic – a CASE for FMS348
I’m loving the Tropical Escape suite of products, have you figured that one out yet?! Today’s cards are a CASE from Amy O’Neill’s FMS348 sketch card from several weeks ago. I loved her idea using the Tropical thinlits dies to create her unique card. I kept coming back to it again and again and finally […]
Sweet Soirée flowers galore
Yesterday’s card (see it here) used the Sweet Soirée DSP, but one of the more graphic patterns. Today’s card uses the bold, large flower pattern with a Rich Razzleberry background. I based my overall design on the FMS328 challenge and a combination of several other cards I’ve seen using this paper. I started out with […]
