April Paper Pumpkin - Delicate Wings

Hello stampers,

I'm collecting Paper Pumpkin's again! One of these days I'll actually catch up & have them all done. This month's is a pretty one & so I decided to make my own alternative for it.

When a kit comes in with completely decorated bases, I cut the base in 2 to double the cards that can be made. I chose to use a Lost Lagoon Cardstock base for this card, using one of the bases as a layer, then using the Stylish Shape Dies die-cut a circle. I used one of the butterfly die-cuts from the kit & popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals onto the die-cut circle. For the sentiment, I used the Something Fancy Stamp Set with Basic White Cardstock & Lost Lagoon Ink, then die cut it using the Happy Little Thing Dies. to finish the card, I used a few Iridescent Pearls & colored them using Lost Lagoon Stampin' Blends Combo Pack.

These are the cards that were made using the instructions in the kit.

Submarine Life - Floating By To Say Hi

Hello stampers,

I had to make a card that reminded me of going to Disneyland with the Submarine Life Bundle. It's a fun set & I'm happy it's in the new catalog so I can try to get a few cards made with it.

I started this card with a Basic White Cardstock layer & went to town with lots of ink colors: Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate, Azure Afternoon, Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Blueberry Bushel, Boho Blue, Crumb Cake & new In Color Peach Pie. I used Basic White Cardstock with Daffodil Delight Ink for the submarine & the sentiment which was then punched out using the retiring Cloud Punch, then both were popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals before adding to the card. The focal point was then layered onto a Daffodil Delight Cardstock layer & to a Basic White Cardstock base.

Enduring Beauty - Love Never Gives Up

Hello stampers,

Today's card features a few sneak peeks that will be coming in a little over a week, oh my I can't believe it is that time already.

So the 1st sneak peek, although you don't get to see it much of it on the card, we have a new basic color, Basic Beige. Oh, this might be a new favorite color, it will come in cardstock & ink. I think it will be a great color for the no line stamping technique. I used almost a full sheet of cardstock to make this unusual gate card. I stamped the floral stamp from Enduring Beauty Stamp Set onto Basic White Cardstock with Basic Beige Ink. I colored it in using the Enduring Beauty Masks with Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green & Old Olive Inks using a few Blending Brushes. For the 2nd sneak peek, I used a new sentiment stamp set called Unbounded Love with Basic Beige Ink (this set also comes in a bundle.) I backed the focal point with Daffodil Delight Cardstock before attaching it to the front of the card. Next, I added a few panels of Brights DSP to both sides of the gate fold, then added my inside sentiment using the Perennial Postage Stamp Set with Basic Beige Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Lastly, I added a few Shiny Sequins to finish off the card.
