Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Here's to You

April 1, 2021

Hello and welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Thing monthly blog hop. This hop is all creating and sharing alternate products for the current Paper Pumpkin kit. This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is called ‘Here’s to You’.

The suggested projects for this kit are super cute and unique. I decided to create two alternate cards using imagery from the kits that is not suggested for the intended cards.

My first card is super simple. I used the included star stencil to create a simple tone on tone background. The tree die cut has been flipped over to use the white side. The white trees really pop agains the background.

The second card uses the envelope liner patterns as pattern paper in the card. The stamped flowers have been repeated to create filed of flowers. I’ve combined two sentiments and stamped them in black to hide the flower stems.

Thanks so much for visiting and thanks in advance for your lovely comments! Ready to see more alternate ideas for this Paper Pumpkin kit? The full link up can be found below - Click on the link after my name (Charlet Mallett).

Stamping Society - Blending Brushes - Floating and Fluttering - Many Mates

April 1, 2021

Hello, hello and happy April Fools! J/K, no joking here. Today the Stamping Society are sharing fun projects using Blending Brushes and I love the card I am going to share with you today.

What is Stamping Society? We are group of international stampers who showcase an idea monthly through a blog hop and then offer more exclusive ideas through a tutorial. The tutorial showcases 6 exclusive ideas along with instructions and a video. Details on how to get the tutorial at the end of this post.

Like I mentioned, this month we are featuring Blending Brushes. Have you played with them much? These projects will inspire you to play, I’m certain.

FLOATING & FLUTTERING - CONGRATS CARD:

First, I am completely taken with the Floating & Fluttering stamp and die bundle. While there are many options for butterflies right now I am in love the with size, look and versatility of this bundle. I’ve paired this bundle with the Many Mates greeting stamp set.

Let’s chat about this card. This card has texture, layers and so much more. The background is the WOW and ends up becoming the primary image. The vellum stamped butterflies accent and showcase the background even more.

Recreate this card with me. A full list of supplies can be found at the end of this post.

Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 8.5” x 5.5”. Score and fold in half to create card base. Use the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder and emboss the front side of the card base.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 5.5”x 4.25”. Gather Blending Brushes, Magenta Madness and Bumblebee classic ink. Apply ink to brushes and blend into the Basic White cardstock using a circular motion until you achieve the desired effect. Add water splatters with paint brush to the blended background. Cut in half and choose which half you like best for this card.
Using a Stamp-a-Ratus stamp two greetings from Many Mates in Black ink onto the background. Use a black pen to draw a line between the verses if desired. See card example for placement suggestion.
Stamp butterfly cluster from the Floating and Fluttering stamp set in Versamark onto vellum. Heat set with white embossing powder. Cut out using the dies from the bundle.
Arrange white butterflies onto the background piece framing the stamped greeting. Trip off excess butterflies.
Mount background piece to a 2-7/8” x 4.45” piece of Magenta Madness cardstock.
Cut a piece of the B&W stripes True Love Designer Series Papers to 3.5” x 4.25”. Mount Magenta /Background piece to the DSP. Then mount to the card base. Center left and right, top and bottom and adhere using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add three Opal Rounds to card front in open areas.
Tie a small bow with White Bakers Twine. Adhere to card front.
