April 2021 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

Apr 30, 2021 | Uncategorized | 2 comments

For many of us the popsicle and watermelon cards just aren’t out style. So I went a bit far afield with my alternatives this month.  I will have to say I like them a lot.  I do love the challenge that the Paper Pumpkin kits give me each month. I can usually come up with something that I am happy with.  These cards just say summertime to me.  I hope you like them.  

In addition to the Kit supplies, I used:

• Thick Basic White Bases measuring 8 ½” by 5 ½” , scored and folded at 4 ¼”
• I used pieces of the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper in Bumblebee and Terracotta Tile
• I did use some basic black cardstock, Old Olive cardstock and some of our black sparkle ribbon
• I used some small pieces of scrap of both the Terracotta Tile and Old Olive
• I used Momento Tuxedo Black ink through out.

Simple Fun Fold Thanks Card

Apr 27, 2021 | Uncategorized | 1 comment

This lovely little card is such a simple design and yet so pretty.  I originally found this card on the blog for Tina Zinck out of Nova Scotia, Canada.  We made this card in my team as a our mystery card project for April.  It was a big hit.  it is a pocket card and the insert comes completely out.  This is a fun one, I hope you will give it a try  

Following are the Measurements and Supplies for today’s Fun Fold Note Card.:

• I used a Highland Heather Base measuring 11 by 4 ¼”, scored and folded at 5 ½” and 1 ¼” from one end
• Next 2 Pieces of the Hand Penned Designer Series Paper, first a piece cut 3 ¼” by 4” and a piece cut 1” by 4”
• Then 1 piece of So Saffron one piece 4” by 5 ¼”
• and one piece of Basic White cut 3 ¾” by5”
• You will need a small piece of scrap of both the So Saffron and Basic White for the sentiment

Thanks so much for stopping by. Let me know if you need help or I can answer a question.

Oh my gosh, isn’t this paper just beautiful.  I designed this card to create note cards for my daughter in law, Julia.  Julia is about all things Art Deco, I think she is going to like these.  I thought ofsetting this design made the card more interesting.  Such a simple and easy card with such a big impact. 

Following are the Measurements and Supplies for today’s Simply Elegant Note Card:

• I used a Basic Gray Base measuring 8 ½” by 5 ½” Scored and folded at 4 ¼”
• Next 2 Pieces of the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper, first a piece cut 3 ¾” by 5” and a piece cut ½” by about 6 ¼”
• Then 2 pieces of Smoky Slate one piece 4” by 5 ¼” and a piece of scrap to emboss the birds
• You will need some Gold Foil to create the frame and small piece of scrap of Gold Foil to cut out the frame for the birds.
