You Are My Anchor - April 2018 Paper Pumpkin Alternates

April 21, 2018

Are you familiar with Paper Pumpkin? It's a monthly box subscription for cardmakers! Every month a new kit is shipped to you, and every kit includes a stamp set, ink and the full supplies to create a unique design. This month's kit is called You're My Anchor and I LOVE IT!!! This kit makes the most adorable love notes and also includes a cute gift box to house those love notes. I made up a few note sets as directed and had a bunch of leftover supplies to create a few full-sized card alternates. The only supplies I added were cardstock and ink.

If you are new to these kits I have a special for you, 50% off your first two months. Use code SAVEFIFTY0418 until May 10th.

I want to share this super fun idea. See that larger Pool Party colored anchor underneath the Island Indigo anchor? Take the negative shape from the anchor die cut sheet and create a little mini stencil mask. I sponged in Pool Party to create this subtle anchor shadow. I love it. The 3x3 cards go a LONG way when you start to cut them apart for accents.

Thanks for visiting!

Beautiful You and Layered Leaves Sept 2017 Paper Pumpkin - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

Beautiful You - Stamp Review Crew

October 1, 2017

Beautiful You is the stamp set we are featuring for this edition of the Stamp Review Crew. When I created these cards I was also creating my September Paper Pumpkin projects and it looks like a little overlap happened. Ha! I did intend to have fall themed cards and it worked out perfectly. Both cards use the same colors: Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry/So Saffron, Early Espresso and Old Olive.

I can't wait to see how the Stamp Review Crew used this stamp set. Next up in this hop is Nikki Spencer. Happy hopping and happy October!

A little background in case you are new to this hop: The Stamp Review Crew is a group of International Stampin' Up! demonstrators who want to show you how much you can do with ONE stamp set. Each edition of the Crew will showcase a new featured stamp set. Each stop along the hop will show you a different idea, or ideas using that set!

Pocketful of Cheer - March 2016 Paper Pumpkin

April 6, 2016

I finished my March kit! It seems like I haven't created many alternates with the past few kits but I think I've made up for that with this March kit. The Pocketful of Cheer kit had more than enough pieces to come up with dozens of ideas. The included stamp set has 4 perfect greetings that work for most occasions. I particularly like the graduation stamp and card created with it. Note: I added a small pop of black to the colors provided. I like the bit of contrast it adds.

Hello Sunshine - February Paper Pumpkin Alternates

March 11, 2016

Alternates ... I finally pulled out my February Paper Pumpkin kit and played around creating a few alternate projects. First, can I just say this kit is awesome! I really love the Hello Sunshine stamp set and can see myself using it often. Second, this kit is packed with tons of supplies. I ended up making 5 projects and barely scratched the surface. I have so much stuff leftover.

This detail view is great as it really shows off the gold line flower embellishment.

I needed a birthday tag for a gift I was wrapping. Somehow my gift contents matched the colors in this kit exactly so I decided to tie up the contents with a simple striped ribbon and attach the tag. The presentation is so matchy, matchy and I love it. I pulled in the Metro Type alphabet stamp set to add a little customization to the tag with a J, and dotted the J with the flower from the kit stamp set. I attached the tag with a gold glittered clothespin. Fun stuff.

Always impressed by the folks over at the Global Design Project I created this alternate card inspired by the super cute sketch from this week's Global Design Project challenge.
