Arrange A Wreath - Give Thanks

I looked at this bundle in the catalog for almost a month before I decided it was a good fit for me.  It's Arrange A Wreath and what I like so much about it is that it can be used year round.  So here's my first card.  This one has a fall feel to it.


Starting from the bottom, the card base is a piece of Cinnamon Cider card stock.  I used Bumblebee card stock on top of that.  Next, I stamped the wreath in Cinnamon Cider ink on Whisper White card stock and then embossed it with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder.  I sponged Gray Granite ink over the embossed card stock.  Next, using the dies from this bundle, I cut out the little leaf wreath from vellum and the bigger leaf wreath from Bumblebee card stock.  I used Mini Glue Dots to attach the wreaths so that they would not be completely glued to the card base.  I stamped a few flowers in Terracotta Tile and used the corresponding die to cut them out.  I stamped the background for the sentiment in Crumb Cake and then the sentiment in Cinnamon Cider.  I cut out the sentiment sign with my Snips and looped a piece of Bumblebee Gingham ribbon over the wreath.  All were attached to the card base with Mini Glue Dots.  Finally, I added centers to the flowers using the Holiday Basic Rhinestone Jewels.  The flowers were attached to the wreath using Mini Dimensionals.

Summer Nights

The Paper Pumpkin kit for July is called Summer Nights.  The kit contains all the supplies for 9 post card style cards with envelopes and 9 die cut tea light bags.  This month's kit also offered a set of coordinating cards with envelopes.  I made up the kit per the directions enclosed, but I've already seen dozens of super cute alternative projects made with the supplies from the kit.


Here's the tea light bag



Think how cute these would look sitting on tables for your outdoor summer party.  So fun!


And here are the postcard style cards.  I think I will probably end up attaching these to a card base, but they are as cute as can be.  Stampin' Up! did a great job of evoking great memories of the summer nights of my childhood!

I also made up one card from the add on card pack.  There are different designs, but each is similar to one of the postcard backgrounds above.  


I cut the card front from the back and trimmed down the front so I could use the card back as a background.  The card front was adhered to a Blackberry Bliss card base.  The gold twine is from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack.  Everything else is from the kit.

Finally,  I used a blank piece of Whisper White card stock and stamped multiple images from the stamp set all over it to create my own patterned paper.


I cut off a piece of the card stock 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" and paired it with Blackberry Bliss and Coastal Cabana card stock, a sentiment from Happiest of Birthdays stamp set, and couple of die cut from the Hippo & Friends dies.


Stampin' Up!'s assembly video is here



Next month's kit celebrates our heroes and is very timely considering our current situation.



With Paper Pumpkin, subscribers are provided with everything they need to explore their creativity and discover new ways to craft. As we navigate a “new normal” in today’s world, there’s plenty of opportunity to papercraft!

Perfectly Plaid - Christmas In July

It's a little tough trying to get in the mood for Christmas crafting when the temps and humidity outside are through the roof!  But, we crafters need to get things made so we can enjoy the season, too!  By nature I'm a procrastinator so that complicates matters even more.

For my first card of the season I wanted to use all products available in the annual catalog so you can make this card now as well.



I'm also submitting my card for the weekly challenge over at "The Spot".



I've been lurking around their challenges for a couple of weeks now and decided to participate this week.  Check out their work for yourself by clicking the image above.


I stamped the tree image in Just Jade and Cinnamon Cider and cut it out with the Pine Tree punch.  The tree was attached with Dimensionals to a base of Whisper White card stock and Champagne Foil cut out with the Stitched Shape dies and Layering Ovals Dies.  The ovals were attached to the card base with Dimensionals.  The sentiment was stamped on a piece of Whisper White card stock scrap paper and cut out with the Banner Triple punch.   It was also attached to the card base with Dimensionals.  Finally, I "decorated" the tree with Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Massive Thanks

There is a really fun, bright designer series paper pack in the annual catalog, Playing With Patterns. 



It's so versatile; it can be used with a wide variety of cards.
I used it along with the Massive Thanks stamp sets to make this collection of thank you cards.



I used the Stitched Triangles dies to cut the pieces of Playing with Patterns paper for each card and a piece of coordinating card stock for each background.  The cards themselves are the Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes.
