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!
