Paper Pumpkin Bouquet of Hope Alternatives Cards

     

  • Paper Pumpkin Bouquet of Hope Alternative Cards
  • May Batter Up Paper Pumpkin kit is perfect for baseball fanatics
  • Today, New Subscribers can order the May Batter Up Paper Pumpkin Kit for $5!

I've gotten behind on my Paper Pumpkin Kits, but I love having thank-you and birthday cards on hand when I need them, so this week end I finally put together one of my kits from earlier this year.  Paper Pumpkin kits are a great resource when you need fast cards.  These elements are from the February 2021 Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin kit which came with a Mossy Meadow Ink Spot.  

This is my first batch of cards using elements from the kit, and are based on alternatives from Rae Jean Communal with my own spin on each.    This is only about 1/3 of the elements from the kit, so I can't wait to finish additional cards using the rest of the kit elements.
   
Three floral greeting cards using Paper Pumpkin Bouquet of Hope


I used Just Jade as my basecard for these cards.  I added a Basic White layer dry embossed with different embossing folders to add texture to the cards.  I used the yellow polka dot elements from the kit to create accent points for each card. On the bottom card, above, I also die cut stitched circle in Mint Macaron to add a focal point fo the die cut elements.      

 


The kit included a number of floral die cuts, and I selected different floral die cuts to accent each card.

The Paper Pumpkin stamp set included in this kit included several sentiments that were sympathy related.  I used the sentiment labels provided by the kit and added my own thank-you and happy birthday sentiments, as these are the cards I tend to use the most.    

Card ideas using the Paper Pumpkin Bouquet of Hope


The kit included black sequins embellishments.  I used some on my cards, and also used some of the retired 2020-2022 In Color Dots, and Mint Macaron ribbon as accents on other cards.  

You'll find so many ways to use the Paper Pumpkin kits.  They are perfect for the new stamper with few supplies who wants to make the cards as pictured on the instructions with each kit.  Experience stampers will like the kits as additional supplies for creating their own take on cards or to create scrapbook pages or other 3-dimensional projects. Subscribers love the surprises in each kit as it arrives monthly, or you can order Paper Pumpkin Kits on a month to month basis.   Order Paper Pumpkin Kits along with your regular Stampin' Up!

Create a Delightful Treasure using the Meadow dies from the Quiet Meadow Bundle

    

  • Stampin' Up! Meadow Dies from the Quiet Meadow Bundle
  • Stampin' Up! Beautify of Friendship Stamp Set
  • Order from the January- June Mini Catalog until 30 June 2021

The Quiet Meadow Bundle from the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog has such a wonderful simplicity about it.  Today's card uses neutrals and textures to create a subtle, yet beautiful greeting card.  I used Smoky Slate, Gray Granite, Basic White, Basic Black, and Velum to create this simple card.  The Vellum and black silhouette die cuts along with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing folder created just the right balance of textures to turn this simple card into a delightful treasure.

The basecard for this cards is Smoky Slate Cardstock.  Then a layer of Granite Gray, and a layer of Basic White dry embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.   

 
Neutral floral greeting card using the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!


I die cut one of the silhouette flowers from the Meadow Dies in Basic Black, and cut one of the florals from Vellum Cardstock.  I added them to the embossed Basic White layer with Multipurpose Glue and because of the textured background, the glue didn't show behind the vellum.       


Gray and black handmade floral greeting card using Stampin' Up! Meadow Dies


I die cut a sentiment layer using one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies from Basic White.  Then I used one of the sentiments from the Beautify of Friendship Stamp Set from the Beauty of the Earth Suite.  I stamped it in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I added three of the Matte Black Dots as accents on my card.

Don't forget that you can continue ordering from the January-June Mini Catalog until June 30 


Although the launch of the new 2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog is at the top of our minds, you can continue to order from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog for a couple more months -- until June 30.  That means some of your (and my) favorites are available for a full 6 months from the time they were introduced, giving us even more time to create with our favorites from this catalog. 




One of my favorites is this catalog is the Black and White prints from the True Love 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  It includes so many versatile designs.  You can use Blends or Watercolor Pencils to color  he larger flower images.  Or you could use Blender Bushes to add color to the smaller prints.  And I love to use the colored flower images on cards.  Order item 154281 | $11.50 USD,
