For Real

For Real! I say this all the time so I loved that it was on a sticker in the May Paper Pumpkin kit!

I have one final card with the kit to share today, but I seriously have so much leftover that I could easily create a few more scrapbook pages and several cards. I love it!

This card is so vibrant, I looove it! The base is a new In Color, Coastal Cabana. I desperately want a tropical vacation after playing with all the new dreamy In Colors! :)

After layering on some of the patterned paper, I stamped some arrows in Coastal Cabana using the Designer Typeset Photopolymer stamp set. Then the stickers from the kit were added, and to finish it off I gave it a brad and pierced the corner in a pattern with my paper piercer.

I think this could be a fun card to thank someone for a great gift! “I love this for real” is a great line to say to someone! :)

Hey There Friend

This week I’m sharing projects created with the May My Paper Pumpkin kit and today the card I created also carries the stamps from the Welcome kit.

For this card I started with a white card base, and used the Stampin’ Spritzer with Pool Party reinker to spray the base. The gray splatters, in the new Smoky Slate color, were stamped with the splatter stamp from the welcome kit. I then layered on the patterned paper, added the polaroid frame, and then the flag stickers. The sentiment is from the welcome kit and was stamped inside the frame. Washi tape (Epic Day) and a silver brad finished it off!

Once again I am loving the clean and graphic look with this kit! It’s been fun seeing all of the different things I could make with this kit, and I have one final card tomorrow that showcases this kit.

The Good Life

This week I’m sharing projects created with the May My Paper Pumpkin kit. If you missed out make sure to go back and see what’s already been shared! Today I have another scrapbook page and almost everything is from the kit.

This was a really quick and easy page to put together! I used several scrap pieces from the kit to layer around the photos, and also stamped the two images that came in the kid (the good life and the arrow with love this). The only things not in the kit were the base, brads and washi tape.

The journaling is about how Jake and the coaches got the cheerleaders to sing to Brady for his birthday as it fell the same night as a duel. Although the pics with his medal were technically on another night, I thought these fit together for a full layout.

 

And just a few close-ups of the page with all those fun scraps and stickers!

Special Event

I have a softer and more feminine card today made with the May My Paper Pumpkin kit.

I used the sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary to start this card off like the one I shared yesterday.

 

The inspiration sketch.

For this card I started with a Pink Pirouette card base and ran it through my Big Shot with the dots embossing folder. Then I used a returning color Blushing Bride, and did the direct-to-paper technique by rubbing the ink pad across the front of the card base. I inked up the edges just a little bit more to give it a more distressed and softer look.

Then I layered the two flag panels (kit dsp), added the stickers from the kit, tied some white bakers twine into a small bow and finished the card off with pearls.

I absolutely loved playing with this CAS sketch! It is definitely a style I tend to gravitate to and I loved how easy the Paper Pumpkin kit was to work with in conjunction with this sketch.

Tomorrow I have another scrapbook page to share that was made with the kit!

Hello

Here’s another card made with the May My Paper Pumpkin kit!

I used the sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary to start this card off.

  

This is the sketch given, I love how the panel in the background shows through!

 

I started off with a new color coming out this year called Smoky Slate for the base. Two of the papers included in the MPP made the flag panels, along with the polaroid and hello sticker that were also in the kit. A little Epic Day washi tape and brad accented the hello sentiment sticker, and for some detail I used the splatter stamp from the MPP Welcome kit in Smoky Slate ink. You’ll get that awesome splatter in your first kit no matter when you sign up!

Stay tuned for one more card using this sketch, and more projects using the Paper Pumpkin kit!

Sunshine and Butterflies

It’s the last day of projects featuring the Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP (found in the Spring Catalog)!

I’ve already shown my hostess this card so it’s not a surprise, but this is the card we’ll be making at my workshop next month (thanks for hosting Diane!) and was inspired by her love of embossing.

I’ll be demonstrating the faux mental embossing technique and wanted to incorporate some of my favorite things on this card which include the Lacy and Lovely stamp set, the Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP and the butterfly punch. I’ve also been loving on gray lately for some reason, can’t wait for the new gray to come out next month!! ;)

This card came together pretty quickly. The medallion from Lacy and Lovely was stamped with VersaMark ink for a small impression on the gray base. Layers of dsp follow, along with a strip of sticky adhesive tape to which glitter has been applied. Last, the curly label punch, a strip of Old Olive taffeta and a faux metal butterfly finish off the card.

That wraps up my week of sharing cards and projects created with the Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP! What have you created with DSP recently?

Whirly Twirly Birthday

I’m sharing projects showcasing the Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP this week, but really it could also be a prelude to the pinwheel die and the Wishes Your Way stamp set because I have another card with these elements on it today!

It’s a really straight forward card, but still one that I love for a birthday that could go for either a kid or an adult. I mean really, what adult wouldn’t want to get a card with a pinwheel on it?! :)

The background was created by embossing the cloud folder in the Big Shot, but before embossing the folder was inked up with Marina Mist ink. Strips of dsp were notched at the ends and layered over the cloud base. Finally the sentiment strip and the pinwheel (attached to a baking sucker stick) were added to the card.

I have one more project to share tomorrow featuring a piece of dsp that hasn’t been shared yet!
