The February Paper Pumpkin kit is a beautiful set of cards with a 'thinking of you' theme.  Here's how Stampin' Up! is describing this cards kit: 

The Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin Kit provides enough supplies to create nine cards and coordinating envelopes. This soft, sympathetic kit includes patterned card bases, die-cut floral elements, ribbon, embellishments, and more!

The kit’s exclusive Bouquet of Hope Stamp Set features supportive sentiments centered around comfort, care, hope, and love. Such a versatile stamp set can be used throughout the year! 

  • Card size: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" (10.8 x 14 cm)
  • Coordinating colors: Basic Black, Bumblebee, Just Jade, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow, Rococo Rose
  • Coordinates with the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper, an exclusive Sale-A-Bration item.

**Remember that if you purchase a 3,6 or 12 month pre-paid subscription in February you can earn a free Sale-a-Bration item (or 2-4!).  It's what I do each year at this time.  You can see the pre-paid options here.  

Here's what I suggest:  Get a 6 month pre-paid now and then in August get a second one during that SAB promotion!  You'll earn 2 free SAB choices each time!

The kit for January is darling!  It's Valentine themed of course.  Here's one of the alternatives I made with my kit. 

Did you know that my PP customers get a free bonus projects PDF tutorial each month?  And so does my Team!  It has 9 different projects in it every single month!  

Fact: SU gives us a 3 weeks 'heads up' each month on the theme of the upcoming kit. This way we can decide if we want the kit or not!  It's simple to go in to your account and suspend it for that month.

  • More Monochromatic swaps featuring flowers


    I’m sharing more of my Team’s monochromatic swaps today. These pretty cards all feature flowers. 

    This first stunning card is made by Barb who used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set. I was shocked to see it on the Last Chance list and it’s already out of stock! 

    Joan is a master at coloring!  Look at the shadow effect she achieved on the flowers and leaves! It looks like it’s raised but it’s simply stamped and Blends marker was added all around the image.

    The other stamps she used are Sentimental Framing and Textured Notes. The inks are Granny Apple Green & Memento Black. She added Holographic Resin Dots, a linen thread bow and Wink of Stella on the butterfly to finish it off.  

    She gave me measurements I can share with you too! 

    • Lemon Lime Twist 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″
    • Granny Apple Green 3 1/2″ X 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
    • White 3 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, inside is 3″ X 5″, greeting is 3 1/4″ X 1″
    • Season of Elegance DSP 2 pieces at 3/4″ X 5 1/2″

    Here’s a view of the card opened:

    You’ve created a beautiful card Joan!

    Next is a card made by Joan’s mom, Barb. It’s her first time swapping with us and she did a wonderful job! 

    Barb chose the Gallery Blooms stamp set. She stamped the flower in Night of Navy and used Wink of Stella to pull the color into the image. Very cool idea! 

    She used the Textured Notes dies (2nd & 3rd largest) for her blue layers of Night of Navy and Blueberry Bushel. 

    Measurements:

    • Night of Navy card base 4 1/4″ X 11″ score at 5 1/2″
    • Blueberry Bushel 4 3/4″ X 3/4″, scrap for greeting
    • White 2 3/4″ X 4 1/2″ for die-cut, inside is 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″

    Beautiful job Barb!

    Next is a pretty card made by Candace featuring the pretty Charming Day bundle seen here. 

    Her colors include White, Soft Seafoam and Basic Gray.  She added color to the floral die-cut with Blends markers and then added Wink of Stella to all of the die-cuts. 

    The pretty leaf die-cuts also have Soft Seafoam Blends added. The texture is the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here.   I just love the clean look of this pastel color with White.

    Here’s the inside view.  Simply stamping the flower image in the same ink is a beautiful say to finish it. 

    I’ll be sharing our swap cards all week; stay tuned!

  • Beautiful Monochromatic swaps with 3D embossing folders


    This week I’ll be sharing my Flowerbug’s Team swaps for August.  Our theme was monochromatic and they are all wonderful!

    The two cards today are both made with 3D embossing folders. This first pretty card was made by Tracey. 

    Her colors include Petal Pink, Calpyso Coral and Cajun Craze. She used the Happy Hibiscus bundle. It was on the Last Chance list; but only the embossing folder & dies are left but they are discounted and they easily stand alone without the stamp set!  See them here. 

    She started with the Beautiful Bokeh DSP seen here and after texturing it added ink with sponging and the ‘Direct to Paper’ method. This is when you add ink by tapping or rubbing the ink pad directly onto the paper.  She blended Calypso Coral on the large flowers, Timid Tiger on the Medium ones. She finished by dragging White Craft ink across it all. 

    Here’s how she stamped the inside:

    This next card was made by Lori. She used the beautiful Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here.  

    This folder is out of stock right now.  But you can put your name on a list (on the link above) to be notified when it becomes available again. 

    Her colors include Daffodil Delight with Early Espresso.  The card base is Crushed Curry. 

    She sponged Daffodil Delight ink to the raised areas and it looked so much like Crushed Curry she used that for the card base. I love that she added an extra sunflower to the front to give it more dimension!  This one is fussy cut. 

    Her greeting is from the More Messages bundle seen here.   

    I’ll be sharing our swap cards all week; stay tuned!

  • How to use the Sunflower 3D folder on Designer Paper; with video


    The Sunflower 3D embossing folder is so popular I featured it on my team card swap this month.  The theme was monochromatic.  

    What do you think?  Can you guess what DSP I used here?  

    It’s the Country Home DSP seen here.  Once I textured it I chose the debossed side (raised flowers are on the opposite side) to add ink to. 

    I first lightly rubbed Pecan Pie ink across the embossed surface. Then added a bit of Calypso Coral ink over that.  The effect is quite subtle but so pretty.  

    This gorgeous Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here is out of stock right now.  It’s so popular this is the second time they ran out! But you can put your name on a list (on the link above) to be notified when it becomes available again. 

    The greeting is from the Label Me Grateful set and stamped on an Arches die-cut and layered on another die-cut.  My cardstock includes Pecan Pie, Basic Beige and Early Espresso.
