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!

  • Christmas card swaps!


    I love sharing the cards my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps.  We had a great turnout for the October meeting and swap. 

    Marilyn made this first card using the Welcoming Woods stamp set.  Her colors are Soft Succulent, White & Evening Evergreen.

    Products used are all from the 2021-22 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

    • Wintry 3D embossing pair seen here
    • Hippo & Basic Border dies
    • Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP 
    • 2021-23 In Color Shimmer Vellum
    • Soft Succulent ribbon

    And here's the inside. She punched a strip of Evening Evergreen CS with the Evergreen Border punch and then textured it with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder! 

    Next is a card made by Paula featuring the Tidings & Trimmings bundle in the Annual catalog.  

    Her colors include Real Red, Evening Evergreen & White. The star is cut from the Be Dazzling specialty paper in the previous Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    I love how she wove the ribbon through the scalloped openings in the die-cut.  This die is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here.

    Next is a pretty card made by Mary featuring the Evergreen Elegance stamp set; also in the Annual Catalog.  

    It's a fun fold card where you fold back the front flap of the card.  

    The designer paper is also the Tidings of Christmas and that nice large White die-cut is from the Seasonal Labels dies seen here.  They coordinate with the wonderful Christmas Season stamp set.

  • Nature’s Harvest card with embossed vellum


    I just realized I hadn't shared this pretty card we made in September at my Card Clubs.  It features the Nature's Harvest bundle seen here in the 2021 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. 

    The colors include Bumblebee, Just Jade, White, Gold & Vellum. When I use vellum I always think 'Why don't I use it more?'  It can be the perfect layer without adding 'too much'. 

    Details:

    • The Vellum card stock is embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder.
    • The coneflowers are colored with Stampin' Blends markers. 
    • That glitzy wheat stalk is part of the Harvest dies and from the Be Dazzling specialty paper that was available during Sale-a-Bration. 
    • The greeting is from the Delicate Dahlias (Sale-a-Bration) stamp set on a Tasteful Label die-cut 


    Measurements:

    • Bumblebee card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
      • Vellum CS 3 3/4" X 5"
      • White scraps for circle, greeting and flower
      • Be Dazzling paper scrap for stems
      • Penguin Playmates DSP 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"

    And here's the video!

  • Christmas Season Gatefold card with a Designer Paper twist; FB Live video!


    We're making these pretty cards tonight on FB Live 'Stamp with Me'.  It's at 7:30 pm CT here.  

    It's actually a gatefold card but the front panel is a piece of designer paper that leaves a reveal of the right edge of the card base which is textured. 

    For these two cards I chose to use the In Good Taste DSP (Annual Catalog on the left) and Cork paper on the left from the Holiday catalog. 

    Or see it on my YouTube channel here on Tuesday. 

    Details:

    • Ink – Mossy Meadow & Blackberry Bliss
    • Card stock – Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, Very Vanilla, Cork & In Good Taste DSP
    • Stamps – Christmas Season, Heartfelt Wishes – both from the 2021 Holiday Catalog
    • Other – Gold 3/8" Fine Art ribbon, Banners Pick a Punch, Mini glue dots

    Measurements: 

    • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each end on the long side
    • DSP 3 1/4" X 5 1/4"
    • Stamped front 2 1/4" X 4 1/4"; inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • CS layer 2 1/2" X 4 1/2"
    • Greeting strips 3/4" X 4"

    Here's the recorded video.
