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.

  • Two Neat Cheerful Daisy Fun Fold cards by Barb


    Barb was our Artist of the Month for my Flowerbug's team in August and made this super neat card with the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper and the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.

    It uses a long piece of the designer paper, scored and folded to create most of the card.  She cased the idea from Patty Bennett. 

    She added two layers of die-cut daisies to the folds using layered circles as a base for them.  

    Measurements:

    Start out with a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper and score it at 2", 4" and 6".  Adhere the paper together on the score lines. Then add to a full card base measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Now embellish with your die-cuts or punches, layering them in different heights.  

    The inside has a die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies.  

    Next is a beautiful Double-Decker fun fold card featuring Blueberry Bushel and White.  

    I made a card like this on a recent video; see it here.  

    This card looks a bit intimidating – at least it did to me – until I tried one.  It's actually quite easy.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • White front 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", die-cut scalloped rectangle 3 1/8" X 4 3/8" finished, front texture 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" 
    • White box for double-decker 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" score every 3/4" and form into a box 
    • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
    • DSP 4" X 5 1/4"

  • Check out these Cheerful Daisy projects; WOW!!


    Each month I ask one of my Flowerbug's Team to volunteer as our Artist of the Month.  For August it was Barb who chose the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.  They receive the bundle from me free and in exchange I ask them to create a minimum of 5 projects with it.  She did a fabulous job!!  

    This first card is a super neat fun fold card showing off the Countryside Corners dies seen here. 

    She cased it from Debbie Henderson.  The designer paper is Countryside Inn. Stamps include Cheerful Daisies and Sentimental Park

    Measurements: 

    • Navy cardstock – 4 1/4" X 10 1/2" score at 3 1/2" X 7"
    • Designer paper layers – 3 1/4" X 4"
    • Largest White Countryside Corner die-cuts are 4 1/2" tall
    • Designer Paper Countryside Corner die-cuts are 4" tall

    Next is a pretty card with a simple addition of a triangle cut of the Masterfully Made designer paper. 

    She textured the Berry Burst layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder before adding it to the Navy card base. The daisy is heat embossed with White embossing powder.  

    Next is a great desk calendar – these are fabulous gifts for just about anyone! 

    Measurements:

    • Moody Mauve Card base is 4 1/4" X 11" score and fold at 5 1/2"
    • Calendar base 4 1/4" X 5" score at 1", 2 1/2" and 4".  Add to the inside bottom of the card base. 
    • Designer paper 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Calendar layer 3 1/2" X 2 3/4" (add 1/2" to the size of your calendar

    You can purchase these calendars online.  They're called 'mini tear off calendars'.
