Paper Pumpkin & May Product of the Month ...

The May Paper Pumpkin is so pretty. I go to Disney World a couple times a year & this made me think of having our photo taken at Disney World's Fantasyland. The lanterns in several card bases in the Paper Pumpkin kit remind me of the "Tangled Floating Lanterns" & Rapunzel's tower in the background.


This card front is one of the evening sky with silver foil flecks to mimic stars. I took one of the full card bases & cut in half with my Trimmer. Now, I have two card fronts or can use the 2nd piece for journal mat, etc. 

I also used an older Stampin' Up!™ ribbon from my stash, Night of Navy #160581. I love this ribbon & often find myself using it. We all certainly have great things in our stash.

I stamped "thank you" using a stamp from a Paper Pumpkin kit several years old. The stamp sets in our Paper Pumpkin kits are perfect for things like this.

Then, using my "Happy Labels Pick a Punch" #160693 punched both ends of my Basic White label, glueing with our Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I used double sided tape to adhere the ribbon tucking a small piece behind the card front.

The flowers are fussy cut from the May Product of the Month, Berry Botanical Vellum #167985. This vellum is not your typical thin vellum. It has a nice weight to it and with what I have done I am not able to see the glue dots nor the mini Stampin' Dimensional used. If you haven't put this on your qualifying order of $75 or more please think about it.

Embellished with the 2026-2028 In Color Dots choosing Hydrangea Hue from the 5 choices. I liked how the lighter color matched the center of my ribbon.

I did have a thin strip from the card front that I used on the inside of the card for a little something extra. I don't like wasting anything 🤣 so yes, this thin strip was used!

I completed my project by stamping leaves also from an old Paper Pumpkin kit with Peaceful Pine.

Happy Memorial Day weekend & hope you get some crafting time,
