A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea


The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

  • Save this template! 4 quick cards with the new Iconic Celebrations DSP. Video & free project sheet too


    I have something brilliant to share with you today. How would you like to use two 6" sheets of DSP to make 8 easy but multi-layered cards?  I used an easy template with simple measurements to create some fabulous cards. Here's one of my favorites:

    And here are all of the blue cards in order left to right.  My colors include Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue, Mossy Meadow & White.  

    It starts out with two sheets of 6 X 6" DSP; in this case the new Iconic Celebrations from the Online Exclusives seen here.  *Two sheets of 6" DSP will make 8 cards.  You can opt to use just one sheet and not have any variation.

    You'll cut each 6 X 6" designer paper piece into four 3" squares. Then cut three of those into a few pieces like this (one is left whole):

    The photo above gives you the DSP AND layering cardstock measurement.  You can find the other measurements for the supporting layers on my free project sheet.

    Besides the Iconic Celebrations DSP, I used a few other new Online Exclusives products – the Everyday Greetings stamp set and the Greetings of the Season bundle seen here. 

    Click here or on the video below to watch how these cards are made.  I share a second version in Cherry Cobbler & Mossy Meadow during the video.

    On the project sheet it lists the products I used. The ribbons here are the Iridescent 1/2" striped trim and the Gold & Silver 1/8" trim combo pack from the Annual Catalog.

  • Do you ever make cards made from leftover pieces?


    Today is the last day of the Paper Pumpkin sale – refills and add-ons are up to 75% off! See it all here

    ~~~

    I had a bunch of fussy cut coffee cups leftover from a previous project plus a stack of A Little Latte designer paper layers too.  Here are some of the cards I made with them.  

    Aren't they great?  You'd never know I made these with leftover pieces! It's a fun challenge to put random layers together in a pleasing way. I really enjoyed making these as thank you's for my online orders. 

    Here's a photo of the cute A Little Latte designer paper. There are two sheets of coffee cups you can fussy cut.  Or get the Latte Love bundle that has dies to match. 

     

     I knew I needed a neutral base to add the layers to so I started out with a textured White layer added to my card bases. I chose the So Swirly embossing folder seen here. After adding the DSP pieces & coffee cups I finished the cards with greetings and a twine bow. 

     

    I keep a small bag of White die-cut greeting pieces on my desk so I grabbed some of those for my greetings.  Done! 

    I think they turned out great.  Do you ever grab your leftovers to create with?
