3 unique techniques on these pretty swap cards


I'll be sharing our July Flowerbug Team swaps this week and next.  Our theme was to create our own backgrounds.  They came up with some amazing ideas.  I absolutely LOVE seeing their creativity and style.  

First is a monochromatic card by Annette. I bet you'll never guess how she did this special background…..

She used Orchid Oasis and Boho Blue ink spots and dragged the ink across her white card stock. One color in each direction.  I was shocked at how pretty and evenly colored it is. I think it looks like denim. It's the perfect way to highlight the pretty die-cut. I'm going to try this myself soon! 

Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on a die-cut from this bundle.  

She used the Wonderful Thoughts bundle seen here.

Next is a pretty card that Monica made with the Color & Contour stamp set & Scalloped Contour dies. 

She created a blended and masked background using Orchid Oasis and Daffodil Delight.  She added a bit of Pool Party on the flower and the card base too.  I love these colors together!

And lastly today is a unique technique by Lori. I'm not sure I've done this one! Can you guess how she did it….?  

She first scored her White card stock about 1" apart, on the diagonal. Then she folded the card stock on each score line and sponged Balmy Blue ink on each fold.  I know I've never done this one; at least in my memory I haven't.  So cool and very precise too!  

She used the Circle Sayings bundle for her greeting & punch. The bird is water-colored with our watercolor pencils. 

She used the new Bird's Eye View stamp set seen here.  She also stamped her envelope.  

Stop back in for more Team swaps tomorrow!

  • CUTE Card kit to go with the Storybook Gnomes DSP!! Limited quantities….


    I was going to feature the Snowflake Vellum for one of my December card kits to go but it's already sold out.  So I switched to the Storybook Gnomes DSP and I love how they turned out!!

    Even if you aren't a 'gnome' person you'll love these cards.  They're filled with snowflakes, Iridescent ribbon and sparkly gems; two of the five are fun folds and one is interactive!  The Designer paper has many choices; some with pretty 'wintery' backgrounds plus scenes with gnomes. 

    Because the snowflakes & Fine Sparkle gems are discounted I am able to give even more product in this kit!  I aim for $20 in products in my kits PLUS the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28 plus shipping.  

    I have a limited supply of these available so opt in soon!  I will ship these out before Christmas.  

    This kit includes: 

    • the 10 pre-cut cards, die-cut & punched pieces
    • 1/2 pkg. (6" X 12") Storybook Gnomes designer paper
    • a share of Iridescent ribbon, Fine sparkle gems & Wonderful Snowflakes
    • the PDF tutorial which is emailed to you right away

    It does not include stamped greetings or ink.  I used the Kindest Gnomes & Joyful Flurry stamps but you can easily substitute them). 

    You'll also need inks (Pacific Point, Poppy Parade, White Craft & Soft Suede), a paper trimmer and the PDF tutorial.

    Click here to get the pre-cut cards kit with products for $28 plus shipping.  *Add on a second kit & save $$.

    Click here to get the PDF tutorial only.  $15

  • From the North Pole bonus card; so cute! Refills are available!


    I had time to play with the latest Paper Pumpkin kit this weekend – From the North Pole.  From the hint they gave us beforehand I knew the tags would be cute! 

    If you don't like or need tags, they can easily be changed into Christmas cards.  This kit is available in a refill for just $11 while supplies last. The refill kit does not include the stamp set or ink spot and is only available to current Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  Here's a link to it.  

    Each month I send my subscribers AND my Team alternate projects using elements in the latest Paper Pumpkin kit.  I share lots of ideas for bonus cards or scrapbook ideas.  

    Here's one of my projects using the 'From the North Pole' kit:  

    I always enjoy stamping my own background; the candy cane & dot are stamps from the kit.  I used Sweet Sorbet and White Craft ink. I added the card base and the two card stock strips – the Mint layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder.  Everything else is from the kit. 

    Another bonus product available to current PP subscribers are these awesome Good Things cards and envelopes seen here:

    It includes 20 cards, 5 each of 4 designs &20 matching envelopes – all for just $10!  You must be a current subscriber to get these.  There are perks to subscribing!  These coordinate with the upcoming Good Things come in Small Packages kit – it's filled with gift card boxes.  Cut off date to receive this kit is December 10th. 


    Click here to get a pre-paid subscription or click here to subscribe and get one monthly. 

    Paper Pumpkin facts: did you know? 

    • You are in full control of which kits you receive as a subscriber.  They announce what the upcoming kit consists of – the theme and if it's cards or not.  You can log into your account and skip a month any time before the 10th of the month.  
    • Even with a pre-paid subscription you can skip or pause your kits. 
    • You can give a gift of a subscription too!  What a wonderful Christmas gift for someone crafty.  
    • These kits are all inclusive (except the refills).  They include stamps, ink, adhesives (usually glue dots & dimensionals) and other pre-cut elements. 
    • To activate a pre-paid subscription and begin receiving the monthly kit, the subscription code must first be redeemed at paperpumpkin.com.  You'll receive this in an email after purchase.
