Super Sunday with Paper Pumpkin

June 2019 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

If you haven't seen one of my Paper Pumpkin alternative videos, now is your chance!  I design these projects on camera, which sometimes makes for some interesting videos.  It also allows you to see some of my design process unfiltered.  

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly paper crafting kit that you can get from Stampin' Up!  Sign up for one or sign up for many.  You can pay as you go, or purchase a prepaid subscription.  Skip a month and come back whenever you'd like.  Kits usually are themed towards upcoming holidays or seasons.  I especially love the January and September kits because they usually feature little treat boxes or bags for Valentine's Day and Halloween.  Like Christmas or winter holidays?  You're in luck, because Paper Pumpkin is a perfect way to do holiday card making or projects.  Many times the kits are intended to coordinate with other products that Stampin' Up! offers.  So whether you'd like just a little something crafty, or want to get as many crafty options as possible, Paper Pumpkin is an excellent surprise you can get in the mail.

Sweet Saturday with Love You To Pieces

Get Together Note Card Tutorial

I love Designer Series Papers (DSP), but I sometimes have trouble using it up!  It's so pretty and I forget I can do some really fun things with it.  But some of those things aren't challenging to do.  Making card bases from DSP is one of the easiest ways to use it, and I forget all the time!  So for the tutorial today, we are starting with the DSP for a card base and then using cardstock to add strength by using it for a panel inside to write a message.

Fancy Friday with Beautiful Bouquet

Flowery Fancy Fold Card Tutorial

Flower stamps are one of my go-to stamps for trying out new designs and styles of card making.  They can build images or patterns quickly and you can stamp them in most any color and they will look great.  How about using them for a fancy fold card then?  This card fold is one of the simpler ones as far as "fancy folds" go.  It's called a "gate fold" card, because the two sections on the front open and close like a gate.  I opted to stamp my floral focal point along the middle, where the two edges come together, but there are so many other ways you could stamp this card.  How would you stamp it!

Sunny Thursday with Beautiful Bouquet

Sunny Wishes Card Tutorial

Yellow and black have grown on me over the last few years.  Well, especially since I joined a Dicken's Era Caroling group called the Oakwood Waits.  Our costume designer worked with me to find a color I would be happy with and we settled on yellow for my dress.  Mine isn't a super bright, sunshine yellow.  It's more a butter color, but it is accented with black, which makes it a "bubble bee" design according to the period attire.  So black and yellow are colors I pair up frequently now, and for this card I find it quite cheerful.  A great sentiment for many special occasions, with warm, yellow flowers in Pineapple Punch.
