More Paper Pumpkin Cards - Season Of Gratitude

Here are two more cards I made with the October Paper Pumpkin Kit, Season of Gratitude.  I still have a few more to make using all the lovely leaves that came in the kit.  I love that everything you need is in the kit, as well as directions to complete the project.  For this kit I made all 8 cards as directed.  Yes, the kit contained enough material for 8 cards.  Stamp set, ink block, card base and envelope, twine, foam layering strips and dimensionals, glue dots, die cut shapes, all for $19.99 plus tax.  Shipping is free. 

The card above is altered slightly from the original instructions.  I cut two labels using Lots of Labels die set in Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry.  Added stamp and twine to the layers to completed the card.  The card below is an awesome Autumn card, instructions are provided.  

 

 

1. Start with a Crumb Cake base measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.
2. Cut Crumb Cake layer 3 3/4 x 5, attached 1 x 5 piece cut from kit envelope.
3. Stamp sentiment on 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 Very Vanilla CS with Early Espresso and sponge edges  with Soft Suede.  Attached to Crumb Cake base.
4. Added some linen thread, left over from another PP kit.
5. Colored three leaves with Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede. Attached with Dimensionals and added Clear Wink of Stella to each leaf. 
6. Randomly placed a few sequins from kit and all finished.

Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card - Season of Gratitude

First of all I must say, I really like the Season of Gratitude, October Paper Pumpkin kit.  I love the color, the leaves, the sequin colors (usually not a big sequin fan), etc.  Overall it is a fantastic kit.  I made up all the cards as directed with a few changes and I made this alternate card I made with the  some of the many left over leaves.  This card was inspired by a post on FB from Ann Aylor.  Since the cards will not fit in the envelopes provided I cut them up to use in alternative cards.  Here is my first one.

•  Start with Crumb Cake card base measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
• Use Tear and Tapet to attach a 7 inch strip of Burlap Ribbon to 5 1/4 x 4 Crumb Cake layer 
• Attach Crumb Cake layer to card base with Stampin Dimensionals 
• Sponge a  2 3/4 x 3 piece of Very Vanilla card stock with Cajun Craze ink
• Cut a 3 x 3 1/4 accent piece from kit envelope, attach Very Vanilla piece with glue
• Stamp 2 acorn on scrap card stock with chocolate chip and cut out
• Pick three leaves and sponge them with Cajun Craze and Delightful Dijon, finish off by stamping with background stamp from kit
• Use Glue Dots to adhere leaves, bow and sequins
• Stamps sentiment on Delightful Dijon banner from kit, attach with Fast Fuse and Dimensionals
• All done!!

I love the surprise I get every month with Paper Pumpkin.  This kit is exceptional, perfect for Fall.  Perhaps you will join me.  Check out the links below to order your Paper Pumpkin kit for next month.

DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #189 - Home Sweet Home - Paper Pumpkin!!!

Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a "Home Sweet Home" using the image of beautiful flowers below for inspiration.  I love flowers in the spring and summer.  We saw lots of wildflowers on our recent trip to South Dakota. 

 

 

Today I am sharing a wreath for my challenge project. The wreath was part of the April 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit.  Not being really fond of the wreath kit I set it aside until this morning when I started to cover it with burlap as I watched a TV show on my kindle.  Then I just let my creativity flow and kept it simple.  I used  my Petite Petals stamps and punch to add some much needed color.  Finally I can say this kit is complete and no longer taking up space in my cupboard.  I think this will make a nice gift for my friend that is feeling a little blue. 

Wreath Recipe:

Card Stock: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Basic Black
Stamp/s: Petite Petals and Everything (April 2016 Paper Pumpkin)
Ink: Whisper White Craft, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder
Punches: Petite Petals Punch
Accessories: Dimensionals, Glue Dots, White Perfect Accents

Paper Pumpkin Friday - October 2015 Alt Cards - Blissful Bouquet - Thanks!

Finally, I am getting around to sharing cards I made from past Paper Pumpkin kits.  A kit I truly enjoyed was the October 2015 Blissful Bouquet kit.  Here are two alternate cards I made from the kit. I made several but failed to get any pictures of them before I gave them away.  It was easy to create additional cards with this kit.

DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #185 - Home Sweet Home Challenge - Timeless Textures

Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a "Home Sweet Home" challenge using the picture below as inspiration. Don't forget to scroll down to visit the other Stars creations for this week.   

 

 

 

The butterflies caught my eye in this challenge.  Although, I am not particularly fond of butterfly cards I have found myself using them a lot lately in my card making.  Maybe I like to give butterfly cards, not receive them, hmm... I originally made this card earlier this week for a Pink and Brown themed swap on Swap-Bot. This is the third card I have made with this layout/design and it worked perfectly for this challenge.  The Timeless Textures stamp makes a wonderful random background in Soft Suede.  I chose to use Soft Suede because the Chocolate Chip ink looked almost black to me on the Pink Pirouette.  The ribbon is Early Espresso seam binding (retired) and the butterflies are from the long ago retired Butterfly Wings Embosslits. 

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette
Stamp/s: Timeless Textures, All About Everything (April Paper Pumpkin)
Ink: Soft Suede
Accessories: Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush, Tombow Mono Glue, Dimensionals, Glue Dots

Product List

Chocolate Chip 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [102128] $8.00	Pink Pirouette 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [111351] $8.00	Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad [126978] $6.50	Timeless Textures Clear-Mount Stamp Set [140517] $20.00
Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush [141897] $8.00	Liquid Multipurpose Glue [110755] $4.00	Stampin' Dimensionals [104430] $4.00	Glue Dots [103683] $5.25
