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 […]
Paper Pumpkin
Friends like you deserve Blissful Blooms
I wish I could send all my dear friends a beautiful bouquet of flowers each week to brighten their lives and homes! But since that isn’t possible (both because of distance and cost), I created this beautiful card using the leftover piece from yesterday’s Blissful Bloom card. Here’s the diagram I posted of how I […]
Thinking of you with Blissful Blooms
I’m still working on alternative ideas to this month’s Blissful Blooms Paper Pumpkin kit. Today’s card uses the FMS348 sketch from several weeks ago for the layout. I started with the below card base and cut it the front off (be sure to save the back for another card idea). Then I cut the card […]
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 […]
FMS 351, meet August Paper Pumpkin
Oh, so many craft supplies, so little time. Is that one of common things you think to yourself? Me, too! I haven’t been taking advantages of my Paper Pumpkin kits, but I fell in to love with this August’s Paper Pumpkin kit. It’s so simple to make the 10 cards; aren’t they simply gorgeous?! So I decided […]
Blooming Summer savings – a quick way to craft!
I know, I know. A lot of us, including me, just don’t seem to have enough time in the day to get it all done. I still can’t believe that I’m retired and I can’t find enough time to get all the things done that I need to do, let alone find time for crafting?? […]
Last minute weekend crafting reminder!
Actually, it’s several last minute reminders. Sale-a-bration is still going on until March 31 and there are so many wonderful stamp sets and products to choose from by just ordering $50 or $100. One way to do this is to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin kits. Sound like a great idea? It is! Here’s the last […]
On Film, a photographer’s BD card
I’ve finally gotten back into my craft room, cleaned it up, reorganized things and started making cards again after some time off for family and work. One of the things I organizied was all the card projects from previous classes or partially completed cards that I needed to finish. I put them into 3 container […]
Cheers to FMS#309 challenge
I’ve been working on Christmas cards and showing the versatility of the new stamps sets, but today’s card was a last minute deviation of my traditional Christmas colors cards to enter this week’s Freshly Made Sketches #309 challenge. It just spoke to me and I loved how my first non-traditional colors Christmas card turned out […]
