Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin

‘Out of the Box’ Alternatives for Peaceful Christmas

Hey Guys,

Once a month I bring you ‘Out of the Box’ Alternatives for Paper Pumpkin, today I am using Peaceful Christmas! Of course, I love making Christmas cards, not sure why I love it so much, but every year it brings a smile to my face! For this reason, I am hoping that you will smile too! In detail, I have gone through each card on my YouTube Live today, here is the video if you missed it! Equally important, I have Lives every Thursday (sans Thanksgiving/Christmas) that you can catch, or watch the replays!

Occasionally, I will make three cards and that’s what I did this time! Once in a while the Paper Pumpkin kit inspires me so much I just HAVE to make more! Of course, I like to make my own designs for you, then I look online and make some others have made after I show you what I have done. That is to say that I get a LOT of use from thinking ‘out of the box’ and giving you alternatives!

To demonstrate how much I love this Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin box here are my three cards!

Rooted in Nature beach scene

Hey Guys!

I love my Job!  I get to make beautiful handmade cards AND show others how to do it! After my classes everyone is so happy with what they have made!

I got this idea from Cindy Elam, I found it on Pinterest and changed up a little, here is her card:

Here are the specifics for this card:

Beautiful You is Flying High

Hey Guys,

Today I am sharing with you a card I found on Pinterest and I CASE’d it.  I can’t find it to show you, if you have seen it and know where I got this idea I would love if you would let me know.

Here is my card:

I masked the Lady after stamping her, then sponged the sky and stamped the trees.  I then colored her, this makes it look like she is in front of the trees.  The balloons were punched out with the balloon punch using Vellum which I then sponged with the color I wanted.  I put the white line in the balloon with the Chalk Marker, I placed a glue dot behind this chalk line to attach.  You can’t see it!  Of course I put another glue dot behind the black line for the ‘string’.  It’s a challenge to find spots to put your adhesive with Vellum because you don’t want it to be seen.

This was a really fun card, and my class loved it!

Here are the specifics for this card:

Stamp Sets
Beautiful You
Sheltering Tree
Colorful Seasons
Paper
Highland Heather 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Whisper White 5 1/4″ x 4″ (x2)
Vellum
Inks
Highland heather
Memento
Balmy Blue
Blends: Balmy Blue, Ivory
Black marker
Accessories
Glue dots
Chalk marker
Balloon Bouquet punch

Below are pictures showing these supplies, click on any of them to be taken to my OnLine Store.  If you don’t have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I would love if you would choose me to help you with your creative needs!

I send those who order OnLine a small gift to say thank you.  If you’ve been following my blog you know that I offer a LOT of different goodies!

Puzzle Card

Hey Guys!

I was on the fence a long time before I decided to get the Love You To Pieces stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  I really love it, the sentiments are too cute!

Here is my card:

I used Designer Series paper for the main picture, you can’t beat the Petal Promenade Paper!

Here are the specifics  for this card:

PROJECT 1: Puzzle
Stamp Sets Pg #
Love you to pieces Bundle
Well Said
Paper
Rich Razzleberry 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 3 1/2″ sq, 3 5/8″ sq
White 3 1/2″ sq, scraps 2 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
Petal Promenade 3 1/2″ sq
Flirty Flamingo 5 1/4″ x 4″ (x2)
Inks
Rich Razzleberry
Accessories
 Big Shot, Clear EP, Heat Tool
Tear n Tape
Polka Dot Tulle ribbon
Rich Razzleberry Velvet ribbon
Tombo Multi Purpose glue
Dimensionals

I recommend putting the DSP onto a piece that’s the same size of thick Whisper White.  This helps it not be so fragile when you run it through the Big Shot with the Puzzle Die.  Then turn it over, put Tear N Tape on the back to help hold it together, but skip the one piece you want to be missing.

Below are the supplies that I used to make this card, click on any picture and you will be taken to my OnLine Store!  I would LOVE to be your SU! Demo if you live in the U.S.!  For every OnLine order I send you a small gift as a token of my appreciation! You can pick this card if you would like it!  If I still have it in my possession I will send it to you!  Just let me know which card you want.

Thanks for stopping by!

Special Fold Card using the Retiring set Beach Happy

Hey Guys!

Today I am sharing with you a card that has a special Fold.  I used the Stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Beach Happy.  This is retiring at the end of the month, so if you want to get it, don’t dilly dally!!

I really love this set…….I don’t usually hang onto my retiring stamps but this one I am not letting go!  🙂

Here is my card:

The white Sentiment is really a tab that sticks into the other side of the card and it holds the card closed.

Here you can see how it looks partially open.

Isn’t this is so pretty!!? I got this idea from Debbie Naylor, you can see her card here.  Debbie’s is a little different, she adhered her flap to the back, I wanted mine to open up fully.

I LOVE palms, seeing them makes me happy! Probably because I took them for granted while growing up in SoCal I never appreciated them until I don’t have them everywhere!  My hubby has some in our yard to bring me joy!

Here are the specifics for this card:
