Exploring In Color cards & envelopes & the Paper Pumpkin refill – both while supplies last!


May's Paper Pumpkin kit was amazing!  It featured our newest In Colors in fabulous scenic themed cards. Here is an alternative card I made with this kit:

I cut one of the card bases into three strips and adhered them onto a Boho Blue card base (5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4").  Each printed piece is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4". The White inside is 2" X 5 1/4".  The greeting, binoculars & pretty label piece are from the kit.  I added a 3/4" strip of Boho Blue CS under it. 

**Each month my Paper Pumpkin customers receive a big bunch of alternative ideas!  

You can't get the full kit anymore; the cut off date was May 10th.  But the refill is still available here.  Here's what you get: 

For $11.50 this refill kit includes:
* 9 printed card bases: 3 each of 3 designs
* Folded card size: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" 
* 9 envelopes
* Die cut labels and accents
* Linen twine
* Adhesive
* Sticker sheet

Below is what the original kit cards look like: it included the stamp set & Copper Clay ink spot.  You can easily substitute other greetings.  However you do have to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to take advantage of the refills & other add ons.

  • Paper Tags Joseph’s Coat technique with video tutorial


    I played with the Paper Tags stamp set and the Irresistible Designs Specialty Paper for last week's video.  Here's my favorite project: 

    The colors include Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Gorgeous Grape in inks.  The card stock is Black, White, Daffodil and Highland Heather. 

    For the colored designer paper panel I started with a piece at 4" X 5" and blended the three inks on it diagonally. This Irresistible specialty paper seen here resists the ink where they printed the resist designs. Once you add ink, it reveals their pattern.  So cool!  

    After I blended the colors on I randomly cut the single panel into 5 pieces on the diagonal. I share how I did this in the video here. I adhered each panel one at a time starting in the corner. You may need to trim one of the pieces slightly to fit the card base.  

     

    For the inside of the card I stamped the greeting and added color to it with coordinating Blends markers. 

    Here's how you do the Joseph's Coat technique:

    1. Sponge or blend multiple colors onto your neutral cardstock. 
    2. Swipe the embossing buddy over this layer; tap off excess powder. 
    3. Ink the stamp image in Versamark ink; stamp onto the layer. 
    4. Immediately heat emboss with Black embossing powder. 

    Once I had my tag, I trimmed it by hand (there are coordinating dies) and added a few extra pieces to lengthen the tag and add more layers. I finished it off with a bow. 

    Here's the free project sheet with directions, photo, measurements and a supplies list: Download Paper Tags Joseph's Coat card

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another I shared in the video:

  • Awesome fun fold swaps by the Flowerbug’s


    Today I'm sharing two neat fun fold cards made by a few of my Flowerbug's for a recent card swap. Our them was to use a new 2025-27 In Color and make it a fun fold.  

    First is a card made by Joan who used the new Online Exclusive set 'It's Okay' seen here.  

    Her In Color is Strawberry Slush and she loves to color; as you can see!  It's a triple fold card; here's how the first panel opens:

    Here are her measurements:

    • card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • White opening panel 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4"
    • inside DSP – large right panel is 3 3/4" X 5", greeting strip 3 7/8" X 1", back of the front panel 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • front white panel 3" X 4 1/4"
    • Front Strawberry panel 3" X 4 1/4"
    • side strip to connect panels 3" X 1" scored in half

    Isn't her coloring gorgeous?  That Bokeh DSP is perfect here!

    Candace made this next card – a double box card! 

    She used the You are Remarkable stamp set seen here.  It's a great 2-step set with lots of possibilities.  Her colors include Strawberry Slush, Black, Gray and White.  The Designer Paper is the Botanical Textures; also in our Online Store here. 

    Here are her measurements:

    • card base 8 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 1", 2", 3" & 4"
    • Strawberry Slush textured layers – 3 at 7/8" X 5 1/4", 1 at 7/8" X 3 7/8"
    • White front 2 7/8" X 3 7/8", back is 3 3/4" X 5"
    • Black 2nd box layer 4 1/4" X 4" scored at 3" & 4"
    • DSP 3 1/8" X 5 3/8"
