Paper Pumpkin Alternative~May 2019

Hello Stampers!
I have another Paper Pumpkin Alternative to share with you today.
Do you remember the Paper Pumpkin kit that Shelli, as in the Shelli who Co-Founded Stampin' Up! created?

Hugs from Shelli, May 2019.

I needed Sympathy cards so I thought of the lovely flowers from this set.
I went ahead and created the others as shown and got them all packed up for a friend for her birthday.

Card Stock: Very Vanilla, and Old Olive.

I like that the kit had used the Stitched Nested Labels Dies, you can add layers to it!  Plus, the Paper Pumpkin kits always have extra supplies, BONUS!

Paper Pumpkin Alternative-August 2018 kit

Hey Stampers! 
I have an alternative Paper Pumpkin project to share with you today.

I was in desperate need of Sympathy cards so I turned to a Paper Pumpkin kit to help me out! 

I grabbed my August kit, Blissful Blooms kit.

I changed things up a little bit mixing and matching other Stampin' Up! materials that are current and no longer available to create some beautiful sympathy cards. Adding Wink of Stella to the flowers adds just the right touch of sparkle!

August Paper Pumpkin kit

Hello Stampers!

Paper Pumpkin kits are so versatile!  This is the August Paper Pumpkin Kit.  If you check out Pinterest.com/paperpumpkin you can find a ton more creative projects.

Such bright and pretty colors in this set.

I liked the fact that there is a 'sympathy' photopolymer stamp.  I struggle with sympathy cards all the time but this set is perfect to create a simple, 'thinking of you during this sorrowful time' card.

I whipped together this card to give you  a sample.  I always look forward to the alternative projects.

Very Vintage~Sympathy card

Hello Stampers!

Here is my project share for today.

Using the Very Vintage Hostess set I created this card.  I needed a sympathy card and sometimes it is very hard to create a special card for someone who was so dear to you.  So I used a 'pattern' I had used a few weeks ago and changed the sentiment to a Sympathy card and added pearls.

Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla card stock were used to create this project.
Ink: Fresh Fig, Soft Suede and Soft Sea Foam.

With Sympathy Carnations

Hello Stampers!
Happy Monday my friends! 

I was asked to create a box of sympathy cards with just a simple design.  This is what I came up with.

I used the Flourishing Phrases stamp set and Share What you Love Specialty DSP.

I cut the pretty shimmery carnation flowers from the Designer Series Paper and attached them with Tombow Liquid glue and Dimensionals.  I added some Pearls from the share What you Love Artisan Pearls collection.  Card Base Whisper White Thick.

With Sympathy Workshop card~

Hello Stampers!
Here is one of my cards we created at a workshop recently.  I had not done a workshop in such a long time, I was happy to do it!  I am used to doing my classes instead, it was so nice meeting new faces and get them excited about stamping!

The stamps and DSP will be retiring soon!  The list is available online at www.starduststamper.stampinup.net

I popped up the oval with dimensionals but before I attached it placed the ribbon underneath with a small amount of Snail adhesive to hold it into place.

Thank you for joining me today!

Tranquil Tulips Sympathy card~

Hello Stampers!

I believe that sympathy cards are one of my most difficult cards to create.  I knew I needed to build up my stock so I grabbed Tranquil Tulips Photopolymer (Hostess Set) to create some. 

I used Calypso Coral and Wild Wasabi and Basic Gray Ink.  Sentiment stamped is from the Rose Wonder Photopolymer stamp set.

Card stock used, Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate, and Whisper White.  I fussy cut one of the flowers and popped it up on a Dimensional.  I used some now retired ribbon and dots.  I added Wink of Stella to the curve of each tulip, it's hard to see in the photo but in person it looks so pretty!

Flourishing Phrases~Sympathy card

Hello Stampers!
Never a fun card to create in the month of December, but always needed. 

I used the Flourishing Phrases stamp set to create this card along with the sentiment from Rose Wonder.

Triple Banner Punch made creating the flag a snap!  Colors used were In Color Powder Pink, and retired Mint Macaron. 

I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the 'dots' on the image.  It adds some beauty to a simple card.

Happy Memorial Day~Wild and Free

Hello Stampers!
Happy Memorial Day.
When I think of all the soldiers who have fought for our freedom somehow watching wild horses run free came to mind.  So I dug out my horse stamp set and created this card.

I stamped a clear block size "I" in Real Red and stamped on the top of a Whisper White Thick card stock then turned it around and stamped in Pacific Point.  To make the Red, White and Blue.

Then stamped the wild horses in Memento Black ink.
The card base Woodgrain was stamped with Chocolate Chip and then later I decided to color it with Colored Pencil.  A small piece of Linen Thread wrapped makes a great horse rope!
