Another Farmhouse Floral Paper Pumpkin Alternative!!

Do you like Petal Pink?! I hope so - cause this one is full of it!  Hee.   This is my second alternative that I am sharing from Stampin' Up!'s Farmhouse Florals Paper Pumpkin Kit.  You can see the first one in THIS POST!  I ♡♡♡ LOVE LOVE ♡♡♡ these typewriter die-cuts that are in the kit.  So I wanted to highlight it! And then how the kit mixes it with beautiful flowers ... well I think it is just stunning!  😃  All supplies are from Stampin' Up! 


Who wouldn't feel they were loved when they got this card?!  I may be biased, but I think most would!  😀😂

Let me share a few details ... 

The kit comes with the paper pieces to stamp & put in the typewriter also - isn't that so adorable?!  I used the Everyday Arches Dies to create the base of the focal point on the card.  Then I also used the Pretty Florals Bundle - Stamp Set & Dies - to add these fun floral accents on the corners.  

The background was stamped in Calypso Coral onto Petal Pink cardstock.  I used one of the stamps from the kit.  Yes - this kit comes with A FREE Bonus Stamp Set!  So you get TWO stamp sets in this kit!  And I love this one ... it is a strip of that fun accent that lines up with itself ... so you can easily stamp it repeatedly!   ***FUN TIP *** I took a Blending Brush and added some Petal Pink ink to the cardstock before I stamped it.  I just did this to get a bit more depth to the color tone and to stand out against the same colored card base.  Fun little detail.  


I hope you enjoy this card!  One more look at the full card ...

August Paper Pumpkin Fun! Farmhouse Florals Alternative!

I hope you have your August Paper Pumpkin Kit handy, because I have a fun alternative to share with you! I used some extra products from Stampin' Up! to add to the beauty of the pieces of the kit and the stamp set from the kit.  And ☆ BONUS!! ☆ ... this kit comes with an EXTRA FREE STAMP SET!  Woot!  So I used BOTH of the stamp sets!  Also ... did you know every 3 months there is a new die set released that coordinates with the Paper Pumpkin kits?  So I also used the die set that coordinates with this kit and is called Circle of Seasons.  


Let me point out some details: 


🌷 The circle die-cut & the "hello" greeting is from the Paper Pumpkin die set.  

🌷The gold floral image & the gold background is all stamped and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.  The stamps are both from the kit stamp sets.  


🌷 The designer paper used here is from the Country Woods paper pack.  I love how the gold embossed detail looks on this paper! 

🌷 The flower over the ribbon is from the kit and the floral die-cut is from the Beautiful Motifs Dies.  

🌷 The ribbon is actually the White 1/4" Ribbon.  However ... I cut off one of the sides of the ribbon and frayed it.  Love how much texture and details this adds.  


I hope you enjoy this card!  Thank you so much for visiting!  If you need help getting a Paper Pumpkin subscription or any add-ons or Stampin' Up! supplies ... don't hesitate to reach out! Would love to help you with all your papercrafting needs!

Label Me Grateful With Stampin' Up!'s Artisan Design Team!

Yay!  Let's do this! Product Spotlight time!  Some of us on the Artisan Design Team are sharing some projects we made with the Label Me Grateful Bundle & we are so excited!  Let's get started! 


Here are the projects I made!  This bundle is so much fun!  It has fabulous greetings and dies that make my heart smile!  Look how cute it is! 

Let me show you the projects I made just a little bit closer.  I mean ... just look at those layered die-cuts!  I embossed the Azure Afternoon back label and popped it behind the white one to add a fun detail.  Love that color pop!  


For some fun texture, I used some Designer Series Paper to cut out the dies, as well as colored cardstock.  


Then a little embossed greeting with some splatter and sponged edges make that greeting pop right off the page.  


Now for the second card! 


Love the impact a greeting can make when you just stamp it repeatedly.  And then mix in this fun label ... it is die-cut with Two-Tone Cardstock, embossed, then sanded to reveal the white core.  Look at that fun detail! 
 


I hope you enjoy!  Thank you so much for visiting!

Artisan Extra! Charming Day Card Set!

You are going to ☆ ☆ ☆ FOR SURE ☆ ☆ ☆ want to check out this fun project that I am sharing with you today!  It is an ARTISAN EXTRA project that I made using the Charming Day Bundle and Fancy Borders Dies from Stampin' Up! & was posted on their social media pages a few weeks ago.  💕  I am so excited to share this project with you!  Spoiler alert ... at the bottom of this post I have a template to share so you can easily make your own!  

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Gold
Inks: Coastal CabanaMelon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Pecan Pie, Tuxedo Black Memento, VersaMark 
Cardstock/Papers: Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Thick Basic White, Basic White, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Gold Foil Sheets, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Basic White Medium Envelopes
Stamps: Charming Day
Tools:  Charming Day Dies, Fancy Borders Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Damask Designs Embossing Folder, Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder, Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders, Water Painters, Heat Tool
Accessories: Basics WOW! Embossing Powder, Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Holographic Resin Dots

Isn't she stunning!  There are so many fun details I want to share, so let's get started! 


This card holder is so easy and fun to make.  You just need ONE 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock for the folder!  (Obviously more to make the cards inside!  Hee.)  And it is so easy!  Remember:  The template is posted at the end of this post that you can save so you can make your own! 


For the closure, I used a 2" x 11" cardstock strip to make a belly band.  I lay the belly band down on my surface (stamped side face down) and place the card holder on top in the middle.  Then I just fold the belly band around the folder, so the cardstock meets at the top of the folder.  I do this because once I add my focal point, you don't see the "seam" of the cardstock and it looks seamless around the whole band! 





So pretty, huh?! These gorgeous die-cuts are so easy to make also! 




A few more fun tips and explanation:

    ❀ Die-cut the floral images from Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  Then add your color with a Water Painter or paint brush and ink.  Use more water when you want a softer color.  
    ❀ After images have dried, splatter them with an ink color that is somewhat similar to gold.  I used Pecan Pie here.  Then quickly add Gold Embossing Powder and heat set for a fun gold splatter! 
    ❀ Two-Tone Cardstock is a dream!!!  Not only do you now have two shades of each Stampin' Up! color, but I love the white core!  Run it through an embossing folder and then lightly sand to add some fun texture! 
    ❀ The gold details adds so much fancy fun!  Simply use as a mat and add some die-cuts from Gold Foil Sheet to fancy it up! 

The the fun to the cards!  I LOVE LOVE the gold detail added to this card set!  It really makes it feel so fancy!  And with the Fancy Borders Dies, it was EXTRA fun and EASY to add some detail! 


How easy and fancy, right?!  But so special!  I really love the look this gives!  Let me show you a close up shot of all the cards: 







And of COURSE ... I had to stamp the envelopes too for this project! 


Well, what do you think?  Do you want to make your own?!  I love the black & white look here with pops of color.  But obviously, you could do this HOWEVER you wanted!  And I would love to see!  😍

Now as promised ... here is the template!  And for those of you that use Metric Measurements ... I have a template with cm listed! 🤟

Sunshine Vibes Meets Textured Notes!

Have a bit of a mashup today for this card.  And spoiler ... it was a super fun card to make! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Coastal Cabana, Basic White, Basic Beige
Inks: Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Coastal Cabana, VersaMark
Cardstock/Papers: Coastal Cabana, Basic White, Country Lace Designer Series Paper
Stamps: Textured Notes, Wonderful Thoughts
Tools:  Sunshine Vibes Dies, Party Banner Dies, Heat Tool
Accessories: Basics WOW! Embossing Powder, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack

A stencil made with Sunshine Vibes Dies & a stamp from Textured Notes are the main bits.  Then the sentiment is from Wonderful Thoughts. And all on a base made with the Party Banner Dies.

The stencil was made by just cutting the rainbow die from a piece of Window Sheet.  Then laying it on the cardstock you want to add ink to and use a Blending Brush to add your ink.  I just used one color here - Petal Pink - cause I wanted a subtle vibe.  



And that's about it on this card.  A really fun and easy card to make! 

This card was made for a very special person.  And I wanted to make sure she knew she truly is wonderful, loved, & matters.  I love this sentiment.  

One last look at the full card: 


Thank you so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed this card!  Let me know if you have any questions on how I made this or how to get any of the products or anything!
