Paper Pumpkin alternatives
Pink Pirouette and the Go Wild DSP?
Sounds like an unlikely combination to me. When I think of pink pirouette, I think little girl’s pink tutus and dance costumes, not wild animal prints. At least that’s what I thought when I was thumbing through all the Go Wild DSP patterns to see what colors to pair them with for what type of card. You know I love […]
Hello You to another great year
One of the patterns in the Another Great Year kit was a Smokey Slate “heather” look, very plain and subtle. I tried to use this pattern with many different combinations of other Stampin’ Up! DSP and cardstock, but I couldn’t come up with a solution that I liked. So off to Pinterest (isn’t a great place […]
Start another great year with a flower garden
This past weekend I decided to do use my December 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit to make a variety of cards to showcase the versatility of Paper Pumpkin kits! I was going to put the album together, but decided I really needed some pretty flower cards. The different sheets for the album all measured 5″ x 7″ and […]
Spring flowers a bloom
I wanted to create some spring flower cards and decided to continue using my June 2016 Banner Surprise Paper Pumpkin kit. As I said on Friday, I love the neutral striped card base. This first card uses the FMS270, which I loved, set see my previous card here. I thought it would work perfectly with my […]
Banner surprise, but where’s the banner?
Today’s cards were made from my June-2016 Banner Surprise Paper Pumpkin kit (you know I’m almost always behind)! I love the cards in the kit, but didn’t think too many on my birthday list would appreciate a banner for just one day. So off I headed to Pinterest, isn’t that just the greatest invention since […]
Millions of alternatives? Well, not exactly!
But I do have quite a few still left to share with you from my 2017 February Paper Pumpkin Many Happy Birthdays kit. When I first got the kit, I loved the colors but wasn’t sure how I would use the slider cards. I need birthday and thank you cards, but didn’t need party invitations […]
A frustrating couple of weeks…
The last several weeks have been nerve wracking for my family and me. We are dealing with not one, not two, but three family members with major medical issues – UGH!! Two of them require my attention and management, the third one I wish I could do more than just sympathize. Needless to say, keeping up with doctors’ […]
Easter bunnies, and a lot more ideas!
It’s officially spring and who doesn’t love spring time? Well, maybe not the time change we had several weeks ago, and the snow some of you still have on the ground. But blooming flowers, green trees, sprouting plants, Easter bunnies, and candy, it’s such a lovely time of year. In keeping with the Easter bunny & treats theme, […]
