Begin Congrats

Trends come and go quickly. So, I have more discontinued items than current ones in my inventory. Here is a card using discontinued products. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Celebrate Sunflowers

   The Adventure Begins (Paper Pumpkin July '21)

Paper:

   Just Jade A-2

   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

   Flowers for Every Season DSP 4 x 5-1/4

   Misty Moonlight 2-3/8 x 3-1/2

   Basic White 2-1/4 x 2-1/2, 1-1/2" Sq., 2-1/4 x 5/8 (or leftover Paper Pumpkin Tag), 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

   Jewels (Brown - Source Unknown)

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Flowers for Every Season DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Just Jade card front.

I then stamped a sunflower, using Bumblebee ink, onto the 2-1/4 x 2-1/2" Basic White piece.

Next, I stamped two leaves, using Just Jade ink, onto the 1-1/2" Basic White square.

Using Cinnamon Cider ink, I stamped the center of the Sunflower onto the Cinnamon Cider 1" Square.

Next, I die cut all of the pieces, using the Sunflower Dies. I also ran the Misty Moonlight piece, using the Something Fancy Dies to make a tag for the sunflower.

I then adhered the tag onto the top left portion of the card front and added the sunflower, using dimensionals.

Next, I added the leaves and the center of the sunflower with liquid adhesive.

The brown jewels were added, using tiny glue dots.

I then stamped the sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento onto a leftover Paper Pumpkin tag and attached it, using dimensionals.

Charming Birthday

I like the colors and the simplicity of this card. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Simply Said (2024)

Paper:

   Berry Burst A-2

   Floral Charm DSP 2 x 5-1/4 (cut into strips)

   Night of Navy 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

   Tag - Leftover Paper Pumpkin 3 x 5/8 

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Petal Pink Braided Trim

   Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots

   Tear & Tape

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I cut the Floral Charm DSP panel. I then cut the panel into strips, keeping them in order: 1/2, 3/8, 3/4, 7/8.

I then adhered the strips onto a Night of Navy panel, leaving room on the left for the braided trim, as shown above.

Next, I added the Petal Pink Braided Trim to the left side of the panel. I used Tear & Tape on the back to keep the trim together. I snipped each of the ends to keep it flush with the panel.

I then stamped my sentiment on a leftover Paper Pumpkin tag, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I included the size of the tag, in case you have to make your own. 

Next, I attached the sentiment to the bottom right side of the panel and trimmed off the right edge to keep it flush with the panel. I used dimensionals to attach it.

I then adhered the panel onto the Berry Burst card front. 

Lastly, I added three Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots to the upper right corner and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

North Pole Collage

I am a Paper Pumpkin subscriber. I enjoy opening and putting my kit together according to the instructions that are included with each kit. Honestly, sometimes I need a different sentiment or I just know I will never use the one that comes with the kit. That is no big deal, I just switch it out to something I need or I know that I will use in the future. My only other frown happens when they send tags, or gift bags, boxes, etc. Usually, I can turn the tag into a card front. I think these worked just fine. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   From the North Pole (November, 2022 - Paper Pumpkin Kit)

Paper:

   Cherry Cobbler A-2 (Too)

   Crumb Cake A-2 (North Pole, Tre)

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Cherry Cobbler

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

I followed the instructions, included with the kit to make each of the tags above.

I then attached them to the center of a card front that included a panel of Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum on a Basic White panel along with another Basic White panel for the inside of each card. Here is a closer look at each of the three cards:
