Change is Beautiful Paper Pumpkin alternatives; plus discounted past kits while supplies last!

April's Paper Pumpkin kit is filled with butterflies, scenes & fun fold cards.  Each month I enjoy creating alternative designs with the contents in the kits to share with my subscribers each month.  
 
I couldn't wait to play with this kit!  Here's a pretty card I made just an hour after receiving my box:
 
 
I cut the front of a card base to fit on the front of a Crushed Curry card base and used other elements in the kit (butterfly, flower, banner & gems) to create this scene.  I love changing up the cards; the kits are great as is but the challenge of creating something new is fun!
 
This next card uses the other half of the original card base.  The flower layer and the polka dot layer behind it are from the original card.  I did trim them just a bit to fit on a White layer.  
Other Details: 
  • I stamped the butterfly in the kit onto the Granny Apple Green layer with Versamark ink for a soft background. 
  • The caterpillar is from the kit.  
  • The butterflies are stamped on White card stock using Black Memento ink and colored in with Blends markers. 
  • The greeting is stamped on an Oval die-cut. 
Heads up on May's Paper Pumpkin kit – it will feature each of our 5 new In Colors AND they are adding Golden Vouchers worth $25 USD to some of the boxes. The winners will find their Golden Voucher in their May 2022 Paper Pumpkin box.

  • The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video

    I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle.

    You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here.

    Please watch the video to see how to do this.  Here are some tips:

    • I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
    • Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
    • If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink. 
    • I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.  
    • You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image.

    I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.  

    The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to.

  • How I made this neat Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold card

    We made this fantastic Pop-up Gift Bag fun fold card at my January card clubs. It's such a unique and special way to add a gift card or a little something extra inside a card!

    I did turn this card into a fun fold as well with a belly band but you sure wouldn't have to.  It could be placed in the fold of any card you make!

  • Who knew?!

    If someone had told me I'd be doing 8 videos a month 10 years ago I would have scoffed! 

    One of my best friends encouraged me to do videos years ago and I told here I would never, ever do videos.  She loved to remind me about that! *Sadly she passed away a few months ago.

    I've been watching my YouTube subscribers grow and grow and cannot believe that I now have over 15,000 people following me!  Incredible!
