Bouquet of Hope ~ A Paper Pumpkin Card

Hey Everyone! I have a card to share with you today that was made using the stamp set Bouquet of Hope from February's Paper Pumpkin. The design was inspired by Try Stampin' on Tuesday's sketch challenge #496.

Lovely Day Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set

I made this card a while ago using a paper pumpkin stamp set called Lovely Day and I used the colored pencils black magic technique. You can use any floral stamp to make this. I just might try it on our Good Morning Magnolia stamps if I get a chance. 

I've heard of this technique over the years, but had never given it a try so I thought "Why not?" and I really like how it turned out!

I started by coloring everything white, then as I added color I started with the lightest to darkest. I didn't color the whole petal or leaves when I added in the darker colors, Just the white and lightest color.

 

Whisper White

Granny Apple Green

Paper Pumpkin Mega Deal!

Today's post is a bit different for me, but I want to share a great deal with you that Stampin' Up! is offering.  No, I'm not going to ask you to be a demonstrator (but won't stop you if you'd like to be!).  I've been ordering a monthly kit that Stampin Up! offers called Paper Pumpkin.  Some months they include cards, other months are cute little projects or both (I'll include pics of a few past kits below so you can see what they've offered in the past).  About 6 months or so I started putting them together and they are a quick way to have cards or a gift on hand to give to someone. Anyway this kit normally runs $19.95 a month and for almost 31 hours Stampin Up! is offering it for only $5 USD to anyone who is a new subscriber!  That is a GREAT!!! offer and I would love it if you would give it a try!  

This amazing offer starts tomorrow, Thursday, June 9 at 7:00 PM (EST) and ends Friday, June 10 at 1:50 AM (EST).  Technically that’s just shy of 31 hours—a little more than one day, but it will go by in a blink! 

You will have to use the promo code: ONEDAYDEAL when signing up and order it HERE and it is available only between the hours I have listed.  

• Just a couple of details/reminders...
• The price of the kit is $5 USD.
• Use the promo code: ONEDAYDEAL
• Sign up through me HERE.  
• This $5 offer is open to first-time subscribers only. Discount applies to one kit for June 2016. After the first month, the price for the subscription will return to $19.95 USD.  You can log in and cancel your subscription anytime after June 11 if you don't want to continue receiving the monthly kit, but I would love for you to continue with it!  If I have enough subscribers (for those of you who live close to me) I'll consider doing a once a month get together where we put the kits together at my house (no buying something with the intention of using it, but  instead sits around!).  If you want to change things up and go beyond what the kit shows you would be able to use any of my supplies.  All you would have to provide is two-way tape just like at my stamp a stacks.
• Offer starts on Thursday, June 9 at 7:00 PM (EST)  and ends Friday, June 10 at 1:50 AM (EST).
• This is only available for month-to-month subscriptions, not prepaid subscriptions.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

It's Valentines Day!

It's Valentine's Day so I thought I would show you what I came up with for my family this year.  First I'll start with my Paper Pumpkin goodies that I whipped up... 

Aren't these so fun!  When my Paper Pumpkin kit arrives I always open it up and check it out.  I knew when I saw what was in this kit I'd be making it up for the fam.  What I didn't pay attention to was how much was in the kit.  Enough to make 24 of these cute things!  For some reason I thought there were only eight, but boy was I wrong!  My next kit is on the way and I can't wait to see what's in it! If you like to have things ready for you to work on without all the fuss of prepping, then these kits are for you!  Right now Stampin' Up! is running a special during Sale-a-bration...3 months for $54.85.  If you'd like to order click HERE.  You'll be able to order by the month, 3 months, 6 months or a year.  Remember during Sale-a-bration for every $50 you spend you'll get to choose something for free from the Sale-a-bration catalog!

I made this card for one of my daughter's using the DSP Stacked with Love.  I NEVER buy DSP, but this year's occasions catalog has a bunch that I LOVE! :)

Here's another card I made for my younger daughter.  I know...it's dark, but for some reason I really liked it anyway.  Using DSP again for the hearts.

 Now on to the card I made for my son.  Yup, Valentine cards for him are hard.  I checked around for a guy card and found one HERE inspired by Weekend Warrior on Splitcoast Stampers.   I wanted something pretty simple and quick because...you know...he's a guy. lol  Funny thin about this card is that the ink I used is Real Red, but when it's put on Crumb Cake card stock it looks like Cherry Cobbler, so my small heart had to be punched from Cherry Cobbler card stock.

Thanks for looking and Happy Valentine's Day to you!
