Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Birthday Card

Monday, Monday...can't trust that day (you're welcome for the ear worm!) BUT you can trust that I am staying true to making a card from a Paper Pumpkin Kit for the month. I'm so proud of myself that I have carried through with my goal to use a kit once a month. Can you believe we are in our 4th month of the year already? Wow, I am standing still but time is not!! Let's take a look see at the March 2025 kit...

I loved this kit so much that I purchased 3 refills! I belong to a women's group (PEO) and our organization's flower is the Marguerite. I'm sure a lot of my PEO sisters drink Margaritas as well as love daisies! I, myself, do not like them...lol...Margaritas that is, not daisies!

This card is the #3 card that they made with the kit. There was no variation so it went together quickly.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop. 
 

Stampin' Up! Painted Illusions Birthday Card for the Creative Creases Challenge - Anything Goes with a Fun Fold

Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge. If you haven't played at Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #114. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. Here's mine... 

 Let's take a closer look... 

Misty Moonlight Card Base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4", 6 3/8" (mountain, valley, mountain) 

DSP Front Panels: 1 7/8" x 5 1/4" (2)

Misty Moonlight Decorative Panel: 4" x 5 1/4" cut with Countryside Label Die

Basic White for "30" Panel: 4" x 5 1/4" cut with Countryside Label Die and embossed with Subtle 3D EF. I decorated it with a retired Paper Accent Butterfly (sponged with Granny Apple Green Ink). I stamped and punched the "30" with the retired Alphabest Bundle. I used scraps of the DSP and Misty Moonlight Ink.

Misty Moonlight Mechanism for Pop Out: 1 3/4" x 8", score at 2, 3, 5 and 6 inches; fold into a T and glue bottom of  T in the center fold of the card. Terry Gaines has a great video of how to do this. 

I used scraps of Misty Moonlight and Basic White for the birthday sentiment from the current BBQ Master Stamp Set. I cut the mat and sentiment with a die from the retired Grow with Love Dies. I offset them, which I thought gave it a little more interest.

For the back of the card:

 

 Basic White  Back Panel: 1 7/8" x 5 1/4" ; scrap for sentiment on the DSP Panel: 1 7/8" x 5 1/4" . The sentiments are from the retired Hooray for Surprises and Something Fancy stamp sets. I used Misty Moonlight  and Granny Apple Green inks. I fussy cut the "belated" sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by today and I can't wait to see all the creativity from the team.  Be sure to check us out at CCC#114 ... we hope to see your entry there!   

 

 

Stampin' Up! Christmas Card

Good morning, peeps. I have been trying to make one Christmas card each month. I really don't think I will send many this year so I think 12 ought to cover it. This is my 3rd for 2026. Take a look see...

 

I used the retired Christmas Labels Stamp Set and dies, along with the retired Boughs of Holly DSP. Inks I used are Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler. You can never have too many gift card holders at Christmas time, right?

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Creative Creases Challenge.

Stampin' Up! More OSW Painterly Pears

Here's more of the One Sheet Wonder cards. I posted a batch here and I still have another batch, which I will post on Tuesday.

Now, what am I going to do with all these cards?? They'll probably be donated or sold. Perhaps I have 12 birthdays coming up this spring :-)

Thank you for stopping by today.
 

Stampin' Up! March 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit

 Well, this creation is straight out of the box with the exception of how I used the twine. Take a look see...

In SU's instructions for the kit, the twine is wrapped around the holder and tied through the tag. I chose to save on twine because I only have 7 refills...lol!

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Stampin' Up! Prairie Grass Birthday Card

Good morning, peeps! I have an easy peasy card for you today as I am having company from Florida here for dinner so it's a busy day for me getting ready. Don't have much time in your busy day to make a card? Well, then this one is for you! Take a look see...

 

 

All you need is a card base, piece of DSP, a stamp set, ink and embellishments. I wish I could have found a speed challenge for this!
