Some of us love Halloween with all the cutes kids in their costumes, and lots of candy. I always enjoy making treat holders to give out on Halloween so of course I loved my September Paper Pumpkin kit, see yesterday’s post. But for those of you who don’t celebrate nor make Halloween cards and treat […]

Here’s some stamps to go with your fall papers
Yesterday I showcased Stampin’ Up!’s fall papers and their coordinating suite of products (see it here). Today I am going to tempt your creative side with stamp sets and bundles to go with those fall papers! First up, one of the new stamp set bundles that everyone is going to want! Rooted in Nature with […]
Friendships are to be treasured
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 […]
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 […]
How do you make a 3×3 cards into regular fall card?
Actually very easily! The Paper Pumpkin “Layered Leaves” September-2017 kit supplies were for eight 3″x3″ cards and matching envelopes to accompany a matching gift box. But what if you didn’t need 3″x3″ cards (they don’t meet the U.S. post office minimum size for mailing..hmm)? Turn them into beautiful regular size cards! That’s what I’ve been […]
Wood Textures just perfect for fall cards!
I’ve had my Wood Textures DSP for quite a while, but haven’t used it yet. But fall colors and cards seemed a great way to use some of that paper. I used two different wood textures to make these full size cards using the Paper Pumpkin “Layered Leaves” from my September 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit. […]
Another Blissful Bloom, but this time with FMS352
Yesterday I promised you an interesting Animal Expedition DSP with the Blissful Blooms paper pumpkin kit. But instead, I wanted to show you my FMS352 sketch challenge card. Don’t worry, I’ll post the Jungle animals and flowers card next week. I started out by cutting the Blissful Bloom cards in half and using bottom half on […]
