I really love the July Paper Pumpkin™kit, Painted Petals. I went a bit out of my comfort zone with this one. I also included a couple of extra alternative "designs" so in reality, you can get more than 9 cards out of a kit.
Cut them up! Not only the cards but the envelopes when they have the beautiful designs on them too.
I stuck to the colors used for this kits and they are Calypso Coral, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo and Mossy Meadow. I also used some ribbons, added various embellishments and even transformed a couple into shaker cards.
I will list the individual products below the images. If you haven't subscribed to Paper Pumpkin™, maybe give it a try. You can purchase by the month or a pre-paid subscription. Get with me for more information or click this link ... https://bit.ly/3QLBd34.
And, don't forget the add-on dies that are good for all 3 Paper Pumpkin kits in that quarter. You will be able to find those in the Online Exclusives.
On to the cards and briefly from L to R ...
Left card: I made a shaker card adding Foam Adhesive strips and trimmed the acetate to fit the floral piece. Although hard to see in the photo, I also added Wink of Stella to the blooms. Added a bit of twine by sentiment and used Mini Dimensionals. Shaker pieces are from my stash. Sentiment stamped with Mossy Meadow.
Middle card: I trimmed the back piece of the enclosed card and trimmed to 4" x 5.25". I did used Dimensionals to lift. On the enclosed card front I used Spotlight on Nature dies and Dimensionals. Next, trimmed the enclosed piece to remove the white "frame and used Tear & Tape to adhere to the die cut circle adding a couple of Mini Dimensionals to the stems. For the sentiment I wanted something very simple so Hello it was from the stamp set included with this Paper Pumpkin™ kit. I also used the small die from Spotlight on Nature. I stamped it with Melon Mambo.
Right card: This was made according to the enclosed step by step instructions. Embellishments were also included in the kit. Sentiment stamped with Gray Granite Stampin' Spot also included.
Moving on below to the next group.
Left card: This was made into a shaker card using pieces from my shash for the "shaker" element. Foam Adhesive Strips and acetate (Window Sheets) to make it a shaker. Sentiment stamped with Mossy Meadow using one of the included stamps. Added a bit of platinum thread from stash to the back of sentiment. Yes, Wink of Stella on the leaves. I mean - I love Wink of Stella!!!
Middle card: Made according to the enclosed Paper Pumpkin™ instructions. I did add Rhinestone Basic Jewels as the embellishment and the sentiment is stamped with Mossy Meadow. Ribbon from my Stampin' Up! ribbon stash.
Right card: Made according to enclosed instructions but I used the Mini Dimensionals on this one. Sentiment stamped with Mossy Meadow.
So much fun with this group. I have some left over pieces to do a couple more after completing the above and 4 cards below. Don't be afraid to cut the enclosed cards & envelopes to make several more cards than the enclosed 9! Be adventurous and let your creative side come through.
And, moving on below to the final group.
Left card: I used Deckled Rectangles dies on the included back of the card. Then again on the enclosed card front. Dimensionals behind the card front and stamped on Basic White (I used Thick) the flower from the included stamp set. I placed the stamp on my Misti and used Stampin' Write markers. Using the Add-On dies I was able to die cut that floral image. Then, Blender Pens to ever so slightly "blend" the Calypso Coral and Mossy Meadow from the edges to make it look a bit like watercolor. Remember, Stampin' Write markers are filled with the same ink as the Classic Stampin' Pads and have brush end and fine tip end. Ribbon is Basic Beige.
Card #2: Mossy Meadow cardstock layer and then card front having been cut from the card back. Only other change from the original instructions is my adding platinum thread from stash.
Card#3: Again cut apart the enclosed card using the back trimmed to 4"x5.25" and then the card front trimmed to 3.75"x5". Mini Dimensionals to lift the top floral piece and Calypso Coral ribbon from my stash. The embellishments are Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls. I so love these.
Right card: I will 1st say the I had placed a dab of Liquid Adhesive Glue on the back of 1 of the embellishments and I bumped something on my desk, hand sent down and the embellishment was on the card. I would normally not space this far apart LOL! Again cut up a card from the kit and used the back for the main mat 4"x5.25". Made this one into a shaker and used one of my very favorite ribbons, Iridescent ½" Trim. If you don't have this - please consider it. This ribbon is stunning.
