Congratulations With Inked Occasions ... April '25 Paper Pumpkin Alternative!

Have another Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Alternative to share today!  Need a fun congrats card?  Well maybe you should make one of these also! 😍 I paired the kit, the kits add-on coordinating die set, Hugs Abloom, & the Everyday You & Me Bundle (those cute flowers!) to make this card: 

Some of the fun details: 

• I love that label die (from Hugs Abloom Dies!) for a fun background.  I cut some from one of the cards and some from Basic White Cardstock.  Added texture by embossing some with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder.  
• Die-cut leaves (Hugs Abloom Dies!) in both Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock & Gold Foil to layer those for dimension.  One of the pieces from the kit is behind it also.
• Stamped those flowers in Bubble Bath ink & used the coordinating dies (Everyday You & Me Bundle) to make this focal point pop! 

All supplies are from Stampin' Up! 

And for some close pics of the details ...

It is so much prettier in person than what I could show in the photos.  Haha.  So just trust me on that!  But I love how this card turned out! 

Thank you so much for visiting!  I hope you enjoy this card!  Let me know if you have any questions!  If you are in the United States - I would love to get you set up with your own Paper Pumpkin subscription if you need one!  Or help you with ordering any Stampin' Up! supplies that you need!

Inked Occasions! With Hugs! April Paper Pumpkin Kit Alternative ...

Have you played with your April 2025 Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit yet?!  Do you have a Paper Pumpkin subscription?!  Well I hope so because this kit, Inked Occasions, is FABULOUS!  Oh my heavens!  So much fun & GORGEOUS!  The kit comes with all the supplies needed to make 9 cards ... including a stamp set, ink, & envelopes!  The cards are gorgeous as is ... or let them be a jumping off point to your creativity!  I made a couple alternatives & today I am sharing the first one!  

I used the stamps & elements from the kit ... plus a few other supplies from Stampin' Up!  The Happy Hibiscus Bundle was so much fun to use with this set.  So I used that & the Textured Notes Dies.  I stamped the flowers onto one of the cards that came with the kit & embossed with gold embossing powder.  Then just used to die-cuts to cut them out.  Added some leaves from the Happy Hibiscus Dies, stamping with the butterfly from the stamp set that is included with the kit, and some Brushed Brass Butterflies.  

The greeting was fun to do as well.  I stamped the greeting on a piece from the kit, then added some ink using a Blending Brush.

In real life the gold shimmers & shines & looks just insanely gorgeous! 

I hope you enjoy!  Thank you so much for visiting!  If you need to get your own Paper Pumpkin subscription so you can have perfectly coordinated projects delivered to your house each month - let me know! 💖  Would also love to help you with any of your paper crafting needs!

Arched Wishes & Color Challenge for TGIF Challenge #523!

It is all about COLOR for our TGIF Challenge this week!  Yes ... that's right!  It is a fun color challenge!  Woot!  I played with the Arched Wishes Stamp Set & Everyday Arches Dies for the birthday card I made for this color challenge! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Petunia Pop, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Basic White, Basic Black

Inks: Petunia Pop, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop, Basic Black, Basic White

Stamps: Arched Wishes

Tools:  Everyday Arches Dies, Blending Brush, Heat Tool, Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder

Accessories: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Iridescent Faceted Gems

So fun and peppy, huh?!  I watercolored the balloons for a more muted color.  But here are the official colors for this challenge! 

I love how these colors look together!  Now ... have to admit ... I used the Floral & Gingham Vellum for the background to this card.  I felt like I have to admit that because the blue on that vellum is actually Pool Party.  But ... I felt like it matched with the watercolored Balmy Blue balloon quite nicely.  😃  So just a reminder that these challenges are a jumping off point meant to inspire.  They don't have to be set in stone.  (Or paper in this case.  Hee.)

A few more shots of the details of this card: 

A few notes on the card: 

• The balloons and greeting are stamped in VersaMark ink & then embossed with black embossing powder.  I love embossing before watercoloring & I love embossing in general. 😀
• I purposefully tried to leave a little splatter of the black embossing powder so I could have some black embossed splatter on the balloons. 
• The balloons & greeting are fussy cut out.  
• The vellum patterned paper is just adhered to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue so you don't see it through the vellum.

One more look at the full card! I really love how cheery it all came together.  This would be a fun card to make in lots of different color combos! 💖

Thank you so much for visiting!  Now you can head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog to see what other on the design team made & to play along with us!

She's The Greatest Stamp Set

He's The Greatest Stamp Set

Aren't these so much fun for the men & women in your life?!  Let me share some more pictures of each card so you can see more of the details: 

Here are a few fun details about this card: 

• Use Two Tone cardstock, rip into strips, and layer together to add added texture and detail.  Stamp on one of the colors for added fun! 
• Stamp the floral image repeatedly & then adhere in a circle to make a fun wreath! 
• Watercolor on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  Make it ombre to give it some variation.  Stamp (& emboss in this case) the part of your greeting you want highlighted.  

Now on to the next card: 

A few fun details about this card: 

• Watercolor your colors of choice onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  Let dry.  Stamp & emboss on each color.  Use Everyday Arches to cut out your shapes and add as a fun geometric detail to your card! (See photo below for how I did the watercoloring/stamping.)
• Stamp your greeting onto different colored cardstocks.  Cut out in strips & layer together to make another fun interesting element.  

It was a lot of fun making these cards.  I hope you enjoyed seeing them.  Now you can keep hopping along to check out all the projects from the other Artisan Design Team Members that are sharing today!  You do NOT want to miss what everyone has in store for you!

Unbounded Beauty & Botanical Textures Criss Cross Gift Pouch ...

Back in March when I went to Stampin' Up!'s On Stage event, I made a few different gifts.  Finally getting around to sharing one of them!  It's a cute criss cross card that I made into a gift pouch!  I used the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make the pouch.  I then decorated it with the Everyday Arches, Thoughtful Wishes, & Country Flowers Dies.  (The Thoughtful Wishes Dies & Country Flowers Dies are both Last Chance items!  Get them while you can!) Then did the fun tab with the Keeping Tabs Punch & Stamp Set.  The greeting is from the ☆ NEW ☆  Pattern of Friendship Stamp Set!  I LOVE this stamp set! 

But on to the photos ...

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Coastal Cabana, Pretty in Pink, Petunia Pop, Lemon Lime Twist, Gray Granite, Basic White

Inks: Coastal Cabana, Pretty in Pink, Petunia Pop, Memento Black, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Coastal Cabana, Pretty in Pink, Petunia Pop, Lemon Lime Twist, Gray Granite, Basic White, Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper, Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Pattern of Friendship, Keeping Tabs

Tools:  Thoughtful Wishes Dies, Country Flowers Dies, Everyday Arches Dies, Keeping Tabs Punch, Heat Tool

Accessories: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Linen Thread, Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Iridescent Faceted Gems

How cute are these?!  I kinda really love them.  I used the Botanical Textures paper so I could make more of a "manly" version of it.  So you have some floral girly ones with the Unbounded Beauty and the Botanical Textures for a more bold manly one. 

Let's get a closer look at these!  I love using Designer Series Paper and projects that show you both sides of the paper.  This project does just that. 

How cute are these?!  Let me show you all the patterns!  And just say ... MAN I LOVE THIS GREETING!!! ♡

Just a few more ... 

And then one last one ... 

So what do you think?!  I had so much fun making them!  I hope you enjoy seeing them!  Thanks so much for visiting!  I hope you enjoy and please let me know if you have any questions!  Would love to help you with all your papercrafting needs!  And would love to help you get your hands on any Stampin' Up! supplies!

Pastel Polka Dots With TGIF Challenge #521!

Time for another TGIF Challenge!  Woot!  This is a fun theme of pastel polka dots!  Ahhhh!  We, the TGIF Design Team, are excited to show you what we made.  But we especially can't WAIT to see what you make!  

I love polka dots, and decided to make some textured polka dots for my card! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White

Inks: Pool Party, VersaMark BLENDS: Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock/Papers: Pool Party, Basic White, Basic Black

Stamps: Memorable Blooms, Pattern of Friendship

Tools:  Memorable Blooms Dies, Around It All Dies, Everyday Arches Dies, Plaster Painting Embossing Folder, Blending Brush, Heat Tool

Accessories: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Iridescent Faceted Gems

Pretty much love how these turned out.  All the supplies I used are from Stampin' Up! I used the Around It All Dies for the polka dots, embossed with the Plaster Painting Embossing Folder.  And fun fact ... the only blue cardstock I used was Pool Party.  So how are the polka dots lighter than the background they are on if it's also Pool Party cardstock?  Well ... I just took a Blending Brush and blended a little ink onto the cardstock!  I did it this way just to make them "pop" off the card a bit more ... to highlight the inspiration for this card.   

 

All in all ... love how it turned out!  This it is a fun way to make a fun background!  Super love these Everyday Arches Dies also.  Hee.  

Thank you so much for visiting!  Now ... go check out what the other designers made.  Then play along with us!!!  It is all happening on the TGIF Challenges Blog! 

Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help with anything!  Would love to help you with all your papercrafting needs!  Also would love to get you hooked up with any Stampin' Up! supplies that you need!  So please just let me know!

Textured Notes & Everyday Arches Birthday!

Birthday card time!  Here is a fun birthday card packed with lots of little details!  I used the Textured Notes Stamp Set, Everyday Arches Dies, & the Wanted to Say Dies (these are a LAST CHANCE item!  So get them while you can!) from Stampin' Up! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Basic Beige, Pretty in Pink, Pool Party, Basic White

Inks: Pretty in Pink, Misty Moonlight (for splatter), BLENDS: Pool Party

Cardstock/Papers: Basic Beige, Basic White, Gold Mercury Vellum, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper

Stamps: Textured Notes

Tools:  Everyday Arches Dies, Wanted to Say Dies, Exposed Brick Embossing Folder, Forever Plaid Embossing Folder, Heartfelt Hexagon Punch, Water Painters

Accessories: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Summer Splash 3/8" Bordered Ribbon, Iridescent Faceted Gems

Some of the details I want to point out: 

• Arch die-cut is upside down to make more of a pennant.
• Watercolor wash with stamping & splatter over it gives such beautiful texture without a bunch of layers.
• Die-cutting words then using Blends to add some "dipped" color is a fun & easy way to add interest.

What other details do you love?!

I hope you enjoy this card!  Thank you so much for visiting!  Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything!  Would love to help you with all your papercrafting needs!  And if you live in the United States, I am happy to help you get the Stampin' Up! supplies that you need!
