A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Hope Box

Hello and welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Thing monthly blog hop. This hop is all about creating and sharing alternate projects for the current Paper Pumpkin kit. This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is called ‘Hope Box’.

The suggested cards for this kit are beyond cute. There are 3 cards with coordinating envelopes and a belly band to turn the packaging box into a gift box.

I created three alternate cards, two have a monochromatic color theme (pink/purple & blue/teal). The only additional product pulled in is Versamark & White Emboss powder.

This last alternate project uses the envelope as a belly band to hold and package three cards together as a small gift.

Stamping Society - Fall / Spring (Gorgeous Leaves)

Hello, hello! Welcome to another Stamping Society Monthy tutorial. This month we are sharing ideas for Spring or Fall cards. Here in the United States Fall is upon us and so I opted to create a leaf THANK YOU card for the season.

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.

Fall just might be my favorite season. I love the changing leaves and all the color they bring. I also adore stamp sets with leaves … who am I kidding, I love all stamp sets, lol. For this card I am using the ‘Gorgeous Leaves’ bundle of products. The ‘Gorgeous Leaves’ stamp set is full of fantastic leaf images but it does not include any verses so I pulled the THANK YOU form the ‘Little Delights’ stamp set. Below are instructions on how to recreate this card.

Fall THANK YOU Card using Gorgeous Leaves

Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 11” x 4.25”. Score and fold in half to create easel card base.

2. Dry emboss the front side of the card using the Timeworn emboss folder.

3. Cut a piece of the black and white stripe Pattern Party Host DSP to 3.25 x 4 and mount to card front.

4. Cut a piece of Fluid 100 watercolor paper to 3.25 x 3.5. Lightly mist paper to dampen.

5. Stamp the wood grain image from Gorgeous Leaves in Crumb Cake onto the Fluid 100 watercolor paper. See card for placement.

6. Stamp the small speckled image in Soft Succulent onto the Fluid 100 watercolor paper. See card for placement. Set aside to dry.

7. Once dry, center and mount stamped background to Pattern Party DSP. Leave .25” on top and bottom.

8. Die cut the large maple leaf and tiny leaf in Soft Succulent cardstock. Die cut tall skinny leaf in Mint Macaron cardstock. Die cut the 3 petal leaf in Calypso Coral.

9. Arrange and adhere the four leaves to card. See card for placement.

10. Stamp the 'Thank You’ sentiment from Little Delights set in Versamark on a piece of black cardstock.

11. Pour white emboss powder in stamped Versamark ink. Clean up excess with fine tip paint brush if needed.

12. Heat set using white emboss powder.

13. Trim sentiment out and cut apart the ‘THANK’ and ‘YOU’.

14. Mount sentiment to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Arrange onto the stamped wood grain image. See card for placement.

15. Tie a bow using linen thread and adhere to card from using Glue Dot.

16. Add epoxy embellishments to card front.

Hello friends! Welcome to the SAB Aug-Dec #1 Edition of Stamp Review Crew. How fun is it that Saleabration is happening twice this year! Bonus for all of us. The Stamp Review Crew are sharing some of their favorite Freebies for this SRC blog hop. One of my current favorites is the Penguin Playmate Designer Series Paper. I love that is coordinates with the Penguin Place stamp set and punch. My card really focuses on the cute paper … both penguins have been cut from the paper and various patterns are shown on this one card. Hope you enjoy!

At the end of this post are a couple more projects featuring the newest SAB goodies.
