Paper Pumpkin I’ll Bee Yours

I love getting my Paper Pumpkin box in the mail every month.  Sometimes it may take a while before I have a chance to play with it but this month I opened it right away.  I personally don’t use 3″ x 3″ cards often so I like to change them into my regular size of 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.  This kit also coordinates with the new heart punch pack in the mini catalog that I’ve been busy making cards with for Demos Galore.  The ink and stamps came with the full kit which is no longer available but the twine and dimensionals are part of the refill.

Here are my alternates:

Winter Gifts Paper Pumpkin

I love getting my Paper Pumpkin box every month, the latest was for tags.  I save most of my Christmas tags and reuse them each year so I don’t always have a use for them.  I decided to take these gorgeous tags and make some cards out of them.

To see the Paper Pumpkin kit, check out this YouTube video:

Here are the tags I made according to the directions:

Another Paper Pumpkin Card

Happy Independence Day to everyone in the USA!

Yesterday was my son’s birthday and I used some of the leftovers from my June 2019 Paper Pumpkin to create a card for him.

The Crumb Cake base is 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″ and cut off 2 3/4″ from one end because that’s what you use for the focal point image.

It’s hard not to make extra cards from Paper Pumpkin kits, I mean look at everything I had left over after making the cards.

Supplies:

120953	Crumb Cake 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock
100702	Old Olive 8 1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock
100730	Whisper White 8 1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock
147097	Coastal Cabanna Classic Stampin’ Pad
147116	Crumb Cake Classic Stampin’ Pad
141337	Stamping Sponges
104430	Stampin’ Dimensionals

A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin Kit

I really love getting Paper Pumpkin kits in the mail every month.  Even if I don’t exactly like the designed project, I can come up with alternate ways to use the items.  Not to mention the abundance of leftover pieces to keep creating with.

I think the cards in the June 2019 kit are adorable, just too small.  I haven’t broken out of my comfort zone enough to hand cards to random people so I changed the mini cards to regular size cards.  I only added Crumb Cake cardstock, Crumb Cake ink, sponges, and Vellum Cardstock.  I inked all the edges using the Crumb Cake ink.

Here are the cards made as directed:

And here are the cards I was inspired to make based on ideas I saw on the Paper Pumpkin Fan Club Facebook Group:

Stamp-a-Stack Card 4

I didn’t use a specific stamp set for this card, instead I used sentiments from the April 2019 Paper Pumpkin and Floral Phrases stamp sets.  I love the Delightfully Detailed Laser-cut Specialty Paper and the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I’m down to just a few bits left over in both.  Thanks to Susan Campfield for the inspiration.

#MinneapolisOnStage2019 Make & Takes

Not only do we get to hang out with other crafty folks and see the new products at OnStage but we get to use them too!  These are the make & takes designed for us.

And here is what I actually created:

So I haven’t finished this card yet because I’m waiting for the dies, we didn’t have them at OnStage.

This card is a sneak peak of the May Paper Pumpkin kit.

Throwback Thursday with the March 2019 Paper Pumpkin

The March 2019 Paper Pumpkin was designed to use numbers on the cards but since I don’t know who these are going to yet, I decided to use a cake stamp.  Cake Soiree was a little too girly and I wasn’t sure it would fit well.  Sooooo, I pulled out “Birthday Whimsy” from the 2008 Sale-a-Bration.  Anyone else still have that set?

Check out the YouTube video for how the cards are designed to look.

This is basically the same as the designed card except I used the cake and moved Happy down to the bottom of the label.  I also used gold Wink of Stella on the candles, another throwback.

I did try one with the candles from the stamp set but it was hard to get them lined up:

This is the inside which is as designed.

Here is the second card with just the cake change:

I didn’t like the confetti stamp on the front so I changed it to a strip of Bermuda Bay embossed in the Sequins 3D embossing folder with the same inside:

As usual, the March Paper Pumpkin kit came with extras that I haven’t finished using up yet (maybe I’ll have another post) but I did make two more cards out of them with a pop up in the middle.

Bottom: 1 1/2″ x 6 1/2″, scored at 2″, 4″, 6″

Middle: 1 1/2″ x 5 3/4″, scored at 1 3/4″, 3 1/2″, 5 1/4″

Top: 1 1/2″ x 5″, scored at 1 1/2″, 3″, 4 1/2′

Along the tops I used some strips from the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper.

Supplies:

131197	Cardstock 8-1/2″ X 11″ Bermuda Bay
140272	Cardstock 8-1/2″ X 11″ Whisper White Thick
