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 […]
Thinking of You cards
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 […]
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 […]
Nature’s Poem has beautiful fall leaves
I got this paper, but wasn’t sure I’d really like it. Yes, I do that a lot, especially when Stampin’ Up! has their designer series paper sales. It turned out, I now love this paper! This is my first card with it, but I already have several others planned with other pieces of the DSP! […]
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 […]
Oh my, it’s fall already? How about a card to celebrate?
Well, yes and no. September is traditionally the beginning of fall, but not in Texas with our temperatures still in the high 80’s. And we still have to get through hurricane season…September is usually the most active month for Texas bound hurricanes. Fingers crossed that we escape them this year. I decided to pull out […]
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 […]
Simply Amazing – FMS327
Another card today for the FMS327 challenge. It’s a very simple template and all kinds of ideas came to mind when I saw this week’s challenge. I’m using another of the Delightful Daisy DSP patterns I’ve had out on my craft table just waiting to use it on a card. I started with a Tranquil Tide […]
