Look at the these beautiful, botanical cards I made with a retired Paper Pumpkin kit.
I redesigned the cards using the many pretty elements in the kit.
In this kit you’ll receive supplies to make 12 cards with envelopes. All card bases and layers are included along with linen thread & sequin gems. You’ll need Old Olive or Mossy Meadow ink, greeting images, a paper trimmer, scissors and adhesives to complete the cards.
You can reserve this kit here for $31. Or if you already own this PP kit you can grab the tutorial here.The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase; check your spam or junk folder. The kit is mailed out at the end of April.
I have three NEW kits this month; be sure to check them all out here. You’ll save $$ on shipping when ordering more than one kit.

Look at this super cute Fun Fold card featuring the Gift Wrapped bundle seen here!
I LOVE the bright, eye-catching colors she choose; Granny Apple Green & Poppy Parade. Can you see that she used both the Light & Dark colors in these Blends markers?
She also used the Wink of Stella on the punched bow and 'ribbon' on the front. See that cute baby tag? That's part of the punch too!
Can you see how the front flap catches on the greeting on the left? Love this!

Clear Block Stamping; a fun & easy background for quick cards!
Have you ever tried Block Stamping? If you have a clear block and ink pads you can do this!
I shared these cards on Facebook Live last week Tuesday. You can watch the replay below. Remember every Tuesday morning at 11 am CT I'm Live on FB here.
I chose a few different stamp sets and inks for the cards I made. I also have a few tips for you when doing this technique.
The above card features Soft Seafoam and In The Pines stamp set. The White layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2". I inked the 'H' block in Soft Seafoam ink and spritzed it with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Champagne Shimmer Paint.
You can use water but that takes longer to dry and I wanted a bit of shimmer. Shimmer Paint mixes well with rubbing alcohol. I added random strips of Shaded Spruce CS across the card. Quick & easy!
This card features Calypso Coral (2" X 5 1/2"), Petal Pink and the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set. The textured layer is from the set of Wrapped in Texture embossing folders.
Can you see the marbling effect here? I inked the block in Seaside Spray ink and then added a few swirls of Misty Moonlight with a Stampin' Write marker. *Watch the video below.
I used the Snowflake Wishes set on this card and the Flowers for Every Season ribbon/twine combo pack. The colors are Seaside Spray & Misty Moonlight. The White layer is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and the Misty Moonlight is 3 3/4" square – a scrap I had.
Tips on the Clear Block Technique:
Use a light color of ink
Choose a block that fits on your card stock
Ink it and spritz with either water or rubbing alcohol until it almost starts to puddle.
Add a swirl of darker color with a marker after inking the block and before spritzing.
Alcohol dries faster than water
Add a bit of Shimmer Paint to your alcohol for additionals glitz!
Whisper White card stock works just fine; no need for thicker papers
