March Paper Pumpkin - Daisy Daydream

Hello stampers,

It's been a long time since I've actually played with a Paper Pumpkin kit, I really need to catch up. EEK! This month's kit is called Daisy Daydream & it came with an extra stamp set as March kits always do. Springtime is here with these cards, but today & the next few days I think Mother Nature is a bit confused giving us mid 80's.

Below are the 3 cards this kit made exactly per the instructions.

This is my alternative to the original kit. I started with a Basic White Cardstock layer that I stamped the honeycomb onto using the Crushed Curry Ink Pad, then stamped the bee using the Memento Black Ink Pad. Next, I die-cut a hexagon using the Meant To Be Dies & Crushed Curry Cardstock which I glued straight to the stamped layer, I added a few daisies & a bee from the kit to the hexagon & used the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set to stamp the sentiment with the Memento Black Ink Pad. The stamped layer was then added to a layer of Basic Black Cardstock, before being added to a Crushed Curry Cardstock base. Lastly, I used a few sequins from the Sequins Trio to finish the card.

Memorable Blooms - Thanks So Much

Hello stampers,

Oh my gosh, I swear my cats are planning a revolt against me, I've spent more time at the vet's office in the last 7 days than I care to mention & still have 1 more check-up this weekend *fingers crossed* it's no sooner. I finally just said I'm stamping no matter what last night & the mojo fairies blessed me with an idea.

I started by stamping the floral stamp from the Memorable Blooms Stamp Set with the Memento Black Ink Pad on Basic White Cardstock, die-cut it with the Textured Notes Dies before coloring the stamped image with Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lime Twist & Old Olive Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. Next, I stamped a sentiment from the same set using the Fresh Freesia Ink Pad, then using a circle punch punched it out & added Stampin' Dimensionals. I used Basic White Cardstock for the base, followed by a layer of Beautiful Bokeh DSP before gluing the stamped image & adding the sentiment. I finished the card by adding a few pearls.

Painted Lavender - Thank Your For Your Friendship

Hello stampers,

Today's card was inspired by this week's Freshly Made Sketches #677 sketch using a new Online Exclusive Die & a floral set that I haven't used a lot of.

I started today's card using Crumb Cake Cardstock as the base, then layered it with 3 rectangles from the Perennial Lavender DSP that were die-cut with Textured Note Dies. I used the Painted Lavender Stamp Set to stamp the florals with the Highland Heather Ink Pad & the stems with the Shaded Spruce Ink Pad onto Basic White Cardstock, then took both pieces along with a piece of Shaded Spruce Cardstock & die-cut the pieces using the Painted Lavender Dies, then popped them off the card using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. For the sentiment, I used the Perennial Postage Stamp Set stamping with the Highland Heather Ink Pad onto Basic White Cardstock, then fussy cut the banner ends, before attaching it with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a bow using Linen Thread to the florals.

Wonderful Thoughts Quilt Card

Hello stampers,

It's been a while since I made a quilt card, my grandmother was a quilter, so I like that I can use these quilt patterns in my cardmaking. Today's card was inspired by an old tutorial from Julie Heitz aka the Chirpy Quiltmaker of Quilts. 

For this card, I chose to use Old Olive & Basic White Cardstocks, along with the Serene Love DSP. For the sentiment, I used the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set to stamp one of the sentiments using the Old Olive Ink Pad, then die-cut it using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder to add texture not only to the quilted part but the Old Olive layer behind it. Lastly, I added a few Ombre Dots to finish the card.
