Layered Leaves

Don't forget to use the left-over supplies from your Paper Pumpkin kits. Here, I made four cards using left-overs from the September, 2017 card kit. The kit included different tags, as shown below on the cards. I also chose different colors for the card bases. What do you think?

First, I stamped the Basic White panels randomly with leaves using the various colors listed above.

I then used a blending brush to add Blushing Bride onto the background.

Next, I added the cut-out leaves that were included in the kit. I played with the arrangement to make sure there were enough for the four cards. The gold stick on leaf was added last. Only two were left-over.

I then stamped and added the tags using dimensionals. I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set on the round tags, and Through It Together stamp set on the rectangular tags.

I tied the twine into bows and added it using a glue dot.

I then matted the panel with Basic Black and adhered it onto a card front.

Lastly, I adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Straight Face

It's not easy to keep a straight face. How often do you find yourself biting your tongue, digging your fingernails into your palms, or just laughing so hard inside, you are about to burst? My next words are usually, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..." But, we have to be there for each other. Thoughts?

First, I applied Pale Plum ink to the Irresistibly Yours DSP, using a blending brush. I then wiped it down with a paper towel to let the white petals blossom.

Next, I stamped my sentiment and image on the small panel of Basic White.

I colored in the sheep with markers: face and hooves with Blush Blossom, wool with white chalk, and I outlined his eyes, mouth, nose, and hooves with Basic Black.

I then adhered this panel to the center of the DSP panel. This was then adhered to the Basic Black matte and then onto the Blush Blossom card front.

Lastly, I added a few frosted flower embellishments and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Success

The dry embossing shines beautifully on the Poppy Parade paper. It does make an impact. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Full of Life

Paper:

   Poppy Parade A-2

   Bumblebee 3 x 4

   Fine Art Floral DSP 1-1/2 x 4

   Golden Garden Acetate 1-1/2 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Fern 3D Embossing Folder

   Frosted Flower Embellishment

   Star Designer Elements

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed my card front with the Fern 3D embossing folder. I misted it with a bit of water to prevent tearing.

Next, I stamped the sentiment toward the top of the Bumblebee panel.

I then adhered it to the card front, using liquid adhesive.

Next, I adhered the Golden Garden Acetate to the matching Fine Art Floral DSP. I used glue dots underneath the gold, so they would not be noticeable. 

I then adhered this panel onto the lower part of the Bumblebee panel on the card front.

Lastly, I added some embellishments (flower and stars) and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Red, White, and Blue Thanks

Say Thanks to the troops! Our young men and women fight for us every day to maintain our freedoms. We must never forget to say THANKS! Here is a clean and simple (CAS) card to send to anyone who is serving our great country. There are no embellishments, for the true beauty is in what you write on the inside from your heart. 

Stamps:

   For Being You

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Markers:

   Real Red

   Night of Navy

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Stamp-a-ma-jig

   Adhesive

First, I stamped "Thanks" three times. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig because my stamp was on a wooden block. If you are using a cling stamp set, you can use a Stamparatus or MISTI if needed. I stamped the center one first, and then evenly spaced the other two.

I then colored in the top one, using a Real Red marker, and then the bottom one, using a Night of Navy marker.

Lastly, I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Remember to say THANKS to the veterans as well.

Thank you so much for giving me a bit of your time. Please Contact Me if I can return the favor.

Thoughtful Thanks

Make use of Paper Pumpkin left-overs right away. It is great to have a few left-overs from the various Paper Pumpkin kits. Still, they do accumulate and are soon forgotten if you put them away. So, I have now decided to try and make use of them right away. I had three tags left-over from the February kit. I know, I am behind in putting my kit together, but there is no set time to get them done. Thoughts? 

Thoughtful Thanks

Thoughtful Thanks Too

Thoughtful Thanks Tre

Stamps:

   Safari Celebration (Paper Pumpkin 2/2022)

   Positive Thoughts

Paper:

   Fresh Freesia A-2 or Soft Succulent A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Paper Pumpkin Tag (Left-Over 2/22)

Ink:

Technique:

Accessories:

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Frosted Rocks (Paper Pumpkin Kit - Left-Overs)

   Blending Brush/Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

The instruction sheet, included with each kit, listed the coordinating colors for the kit. I began by pulling all of the colors. I also decided to use my Positive Thoughts stamp set to create my three new cards, using one left-over tag on each card.

First, I stamped the flower image a couple of times, using Rich Razzleberry ink.

I then stamped a couple of butterflies with Fresh Freesia.

Next, I stamped the leaves, using Soft Succulent and Pear Pizzazz. I stamped several in various directions to cover the rest of the panel.

I grabbed my blending brush and added Bumblebee ink across the panel to add a bit of sunlight to the card.

I then adhered the panel to a Basic Black matte, and then onto a card base. I chose Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent as my card bases.

Next, I added a left-over tag, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few left-over frosted rocks on the flowers and tag. I added rhinestones to the butterflies and adhered the other basic white panel to the inside of the card.
