Pretty Daisy Daydream card & sneak peek of upcoming Paper Pumpkin kits


I created this beautiful card using the March Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin kit. It's one of my alternatives made with items in the kit. 

I used the card base and the stamp set but added a few other items such as:

  • Perennial Postage die-cut that I sponged the edges on
  • leaves die-cuts from the Cheerful Daisy dies
  • Daffodil Delight ribbon (adhered loops to the back)
  • a Mossy Meadow layer
  • Adhesive-Backed Metallic gems 

Each month all of my Paper Pumpkin customers (and team members) receive a free tutorial filled with alternative ideas. It's really fun to receive a kit each month and start playing with the items in the box.  

Go here to subscribe to receive a box each month. You can manage which kits you'll receive – skipping or adding an extra.  

Here is a sneak peek of the next three months of Paper Pumpkin: 

And there is an add on just for PP subscribers called Hugs Abloom dies seen here.  This set of dies will work with each of the upcoming 3 months of kits! 

Starting April 15th you'll now earn rewards on your Paper Pumpkin kits!  Host rewards are changing so all orders over $20 earn rewards!  Here's a graph to explain:

  • 2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!


    Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!

    We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.  

    ~~~

    Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.  

    Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.  


    Measurements are: 

    • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP 1" X 4" on the 'binding', 1/2" X 4" strip across
    • Evergreen layer 4" square

     

    Roxann made this amazing Diamond Fold card.  She used the Splendid Day specialty designer paper from the 2022 Holiday Catalog; seen here. 

    Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5" X 10".  Score at 2 1/2" & 5".  You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark.  From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners. 
    • Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark.  Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners. 
    • Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
    • Designer paper squares are 3"

    Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!  

    I sure have some talented Team Members, don't I?  They always impress me with their creativity, colors and ingenuity.

  • Two more fun fold cards today; Penguins & Sun Prints


    Today I have two more unique 'fun fold' cards for you.  Both made by my talented Flowerbug's Team members. 

    First is an easy but quite unique fold made by Annette:

     

    • She used Night of Navy as her card base.  It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and scored on the long side at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" & 6 1/2". 
    • The Sun Prints DSP are 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" on the out side areas and 2" X 5 1/4" on the center.  
    • I didn't show a photo of the back but she added a White layer in the center area for signing.  It's also 2" X 5 1/4" 

    It stands up nicely too.  Here's what it looks like closed for mailing. 

    The scalloped rectangle die-cut if from the Scalloped Contour dies; the greeting is from Charming Sentiments and the pretty stem die-cut is from the Nature's Prints bundle seen here. 

    ~~~

    Next is a cute spanner card made by Jacki. She chose to use the Penguin Place stamp set & coordinating Penguin Builder punch. 

    Can you see how the sides and front greeting are floating in front of the center panel?  It's a neat fold that you'll never see in a pre-made card! 

    She used window sheets across the bottom to hold the greeting layers.  

    The designer paper is from the Tea Boutique 6 X 6" paper in the Annual Catalog.  I love that snow hill curve! 

    Measurements:

    • White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  
    • Then make cuts at 1 1/4" from both sides on the front and cut to the center score line.  That separates the sides from the front panel. 
    • DSP is 2 3/4" X 2" on the center and 1" X 4" on the sides.  

    Here's a link to the Penguin Place stamp set and here's the Penguin Builder punch.

    First is the Sweetest Christmas fun fold cards:  

    This kit includes 10 cards and $20 in products so you can make even more with the leftover designer paper, ribbon and adhesive backed sequins.

    It's $25 & includes the following: 

    • 10 pre-cut cards – all pieces are pre-cut, die-cut or punched (except your new designer paper)
    • 1/2 pkg of the Sweetest Christmas DSP (6 X 12")

    This kit includes 12 pre-cut cards – 3 each of these 4 cards.  Everything is cut or punched for you.  Nothing is stamped but you can use any stamp set you want to finish them.
