Alternative Cards using The Hope Box Paper Pumpkin Kit.

This Paper Pumpkin Kit is so much fun to do. The colours are bright and cheerful and the sentiments uplifting. I used one of the card fronts as a mask and coloured it using Blending Brushes.

The second card was cased from a YouTube Video by one of the members of Stampin Up’s Artisan Design Team. The front is one of the envelopes which was trimmed at the sides to open it up. The crease is covered by a strip of card stock from the flap of the envelope.

I used the large butterfly, which was supposed to be for decorating the box, as a stencil using a similar technique to the first card. The sentiment would be a great encouragement to people going through a challenging time.

The last card was cased from Stampin Up Demonstrator, Tami White. The stencil is adhered to some of our Window Sheet which has been cut down to size. It is see through Easel Card.

 

Merriest Moments Bundle

I think that this is one of my favourite Bundles in The Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue. It is great to vary the colours used. In the first card the colour combo is Blushing Bride with Smoky Slate. I also used some of The Whimsy and Wonder DSP and An Iridescent Snowflake with some smaller snow flakes cut out using The So Many Snowflake Dies from The Annual Catalogue.

This card is a Z Fold. The colours are Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Mint Macaron which is very similar to Soft Succulent.

Here is a card with some a Paper Piecing technique that I cased from Karen Titus. I used The Tidings of Christmas DSP from The Annual Catalogue. The Oval Punch came in handy for the sentiment!

The Eden’s Garden DSP is stunning with gold on one side of every sheet. I also used the dies from the set.

 I used Sponge Daubers and various Ink Pads to colour the white embossed background for the last card.It was finished off with some of the gorgeous Wonderful Gems which have a bit of gold sparkle in them!

Gingerbread and Peppermint Class

Last night we used the Gingerbread and Peppermint Bundle for my Online Zoom Class. I love the fact that the Dies cut out many images in the DSP. I used the Heartwarming Hugs DSP in the first Z fold card. Real Red and Old Olive is the colour combo. Here is a Youtube Video of the cards - https://youtu.be/IAHa-_rh5Jw

We made a Gingerbread house out of Cinnamon Cider Card Stock with some of the Gingerbread DSP and a roof made using Real Red Card Stock. The door was made using the second smallest scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

I cased the next card from Connie Stewart. It uses one 6x6 piece of DSP. The white detailed Dies on the Cinnamon Cider background really do look like cookies. The snowflakes are from the So Many Snowflake  Dies.

 Credit goes to Jenny Moors for the next card. I love the element of surprise when you open it.

Here is the inside of the card.

More Shaded Summer Cards

 

I really love this Stamp set and the sentiments that go with it. I used 3/4 inch strips of You’re A Peach DSP for the background in the first card. I used the Stamparatus and my Stampin’ Write Markers to stamp the flower. I stamped and heat embossed the small leaf on to the Vellum

 The colours here include Melon Mambo, Polished Pink, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow. The Scalloped Contour Dies are from The Color and Contour Die Bundle.The Sentiment is from Art Gallery.

I used the same technique in the third card with Granny Apple Green, Shaded spruce, Highland Heather and Blackberry  Bliss ink pads. The Rectangles were die cut using The Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The background was embossed using The Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder from The Annual catalogue.
