From the North Pole bonus card; so cute! Refills are available!


I had time to play with the latest Paper Pumpkin kit this weekend – From the North Pole.  From the hint they gave us beforehand I knew the tags would be cute! 

If you don't like or need tags, they can easily be changed into Christmas cards.  This kit is available in a refill for just $11 while supplies last. The refill kit does not include the stamp set or ink spot and is only available to current Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  Here's a link to it.  

Each month I send my subscribers AND my Team alternate projects using elements in the latest Paper Pumpkin kit.  I share lots of ideas for bonus cards or scrapbook ideas.  

Here's one of my projects using the 'From the North Pole' kit:  

I always enjoy stamping my own background; the candy cane & dot are stamps from the kit.  I used Sweet Sorbet and White Craft ink. I added the card base and the two card stock strips – the Mint layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder.  Everything else is from the kit. 

Another bonus product available to current PP subscribers are these awesome Good Things cards and envelopes seen here:

It includes 20 cards, 5 each of 4 designs &20 matching envelopes – all for just $10!  You must be a current subscriber to get these.  There are perks to subscribing!  These coordinate with the upcoming Good Things come in Small Packages kit – it's filled with gift card boxes.  Cut off date to receive this kit is December 10th.

  • Blossoms in Bloom; another pretty cards duo


    Today I have a pair of cards made with the 'Split Technique'. This is where you stamp or die-cut once to get two cards.  

    I used the Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here, cutting out two sets of floral dies. I'm sharing lots of projects featuring this incredible bundle this week. 

    I sponged the thicker die-cut with Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.  Then I adhered the thin die-cut over the sponged one using liquid multipurpose adhesive.  Next I cut the full, layered die-cut in half so I could place each half on a card.

    What do you think of this color combination?  I like to find unique combinations when I play with Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous variety of colors.  

    The Many Layered Blossoms dies includes two large dies and several smaller flowers.  The two large dies include both a finely cut and a thicker blossom die for effortless layering.  I cut out once of each; both from Whisper White card stock. 


    The Highland Heather layer is textured with the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  It's very subtle and gives a delicate textile pattern. 

    The greeting die-cut banner is from the Tasteful Labels dies; stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.

  • Forever Fern video; an easy trio of gorgeous cards


    I can't stop playing with the Forever Fern stamp set!  It's so easy to make beautiful cards with and with some of my favorite 'go to' color combos.

    If you like this set of cards check out another stunning set here; it has a kit to go option while supplies last! And a project tutorial available here. 

    I made these cards and recorded it on video so you could see how fast they can be.  There are three different card layouts all using the same three colors.  Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay inks with these same card stock colors plus Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.  

    The White greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.  I hand cut the larger one. 

    Measurements for this card:

    • Granny Apple Green 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
    • Gorgeous  Grape  3 3/4" X 5"
    • Whisper White 3 pieces at 3 1/2" X 1 1/2"

    I used a masking & sponging technique here and added a die-cut from the Flourishing Fern dies too.

    Measurements:

    • Coastal Cabana card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • Gorgeous Grape 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

    A simple card base of Gorgeous Grape 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and White at 5 1/4" X 4".  Did you catch that I sponged the corner of the left one?  Which do you prefer?

  • Flowers for Every Season


    The Flowers for Every Season paper pack is the only 6 X 6" papers in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  Many people love the 6 X 6" papers; they find them easier to cut into for some reason.  

    I decided to use them for last week Monday night's Stamp with Me video.  Here's a link to it on Facebook. 

    This is one of my favorite I made so far with this paper; I love the new Misty Moonlight in color.  Paired with Night of Navy and White is quite striking in my opinion.  Monochrome cards can be so soothing! 

    I also used the Small Bloom punch, 2020-22 In Color Enamel Dots and the Pick a Punch. 

    Measurements:

    • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
      DSP 3 1/2" square and 1" X 3 1/2"
      CS layer 5" X 3 3/4"
      CS strip; textured 3/4" X 4 1/4"
      Greeting banner/punch

    Join me here on Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT for Stamp with Me FB Lives and you'll get a ton of ideas and maybe even make a nice group of cards right along with me.
