Playing with Card Making

I played making cards a couple weeks ago. 

The one above was made with an Altenew die. 

The background is the new Stampin Up basket weave embossing folder. 

These cards below were done designed with the Paper Pumpkin kit. I didn't totally follow the design. 

The card below included flowers I stamped using Altenew's Vintage Roses stamp and dies.  The rest of it was from the Paper Pumpkin kit. 

The background on the card below was done stamping the flower over and over on the background. Most of the parts were from the Paper Pumpkin kit. 

Paper pumpkin - March 2018

I am pretty sure I am just about done with paper pumpkins. I paid for three last kits and I just don't see myself getting more. This one makes a set of five cards that fits into a box. There are 20 cards and four boxes in total. 

I followed this kit pretty much the way they recommended. I changed a could of the sayings around. 

I also stamped the "thanks" right on the cards. 

Day 109 More kit cards

These are a couple more cards from Paper Pumpkin for July. The words are wood cutouts. Made them both in a couple minutes. That is the fun part of kits. On the other hand, designing is what I enjoy best about card making so I miss it when I do kits.

Day 108- Mountain card

This was a super quick card. I didn't have much time. The mountain is wood.  This is another card in my July paper pumpkin kit. Paper pumpkin is a monthly kit offered by Stampin up. Winners are listed here https://creativewalkabout.blogspot.com/2017/08/winners-of-my-100th-day-celebration.html

Day 102 - Daily Challenge - Paper Pumpkin

I brought a paper pumpkin kit with me to Oklahoma.  I did this in my hotel in a few minutes I had Tuesday night.

Day 79 - Daily Challenge - Snowflake cards - Christmas in July

Here is more Christmas in July. These gatefold cards were Paper Pumpkin kits.

Day 77 - Daily Challenge - Christmas in July

This is the beginning of Christmas in July.  I am going to post things I did last Christmas season. In between, I will post other things I am currently doing.

I did over 40 Christmas cards for my department last year.  These are part of the a Paper Pumpkin kit.

Day 73 - Daily Challenge - More Paper Pumpkin Alternative

Here is another card I did using the Paper Pumpkin kit for June.

Day 72 - Daily Challenge- June Paper Pumpkin Alternative

I got my Paper Pumpkin kit for June while I was away. I am a little disappointed that the card itself was printed upside down. I cut off the front and put it on a larger card base.  I will be playing with the kit more.

Day 45 - Daily Challenge - More watercolor resist

The watercolor resist part of this is from a Paper Pumpkin kit. by Stampin Up.  Amy, my daughter in law did the watercolor resist with watercolor pencils. My granddaughter helped and spilled water over it.  I tried to stamp words on it and the words didn't turn out.

In order to save it, I cut it out and mounted it on cardstock. Then I used words I had cut with the Silhouette.  I think I like the end result even more than the plans from the kit.

Day 42 - Daily Challenge - Watercolor card

I am at the cottages and brought a Paper Pumpkin kit along. This is a watercolor card kit. It provided watercolor pencils but I used some watercolor paints.

Day 41 - Daily Challenge - More Doughnuts

I am getting close to 50 continuous days. I am excited.  It is also getting harder.

I did another doughnut card from the Paper Pumpkin kit. I actually have done a couple. One of my employees loves doughnuts so I had to give her one.  I made cards while the leadership was together for lunch. It made my boss want doughnuts so she is going out to get them for the whole department.

Day 37 - Daily Challenge - One more simple card

Here is a final simple card from a Paper Pumpkin kit.  This time, the photo does not do it justice.  The swirly flower is metallic.   It makes the whole card and it just doesn't show here.  Wish you could see it in person but it is still a nice example of a pretty simple card.

Day 36 - Daily Challenge - More Simplicity cards

Here is another card I did with a Paper Pumpkin kit.  I liked a stamp I owned for the words, rather than the one in the kit.  Nothing super special here. Just simple beauty. There are a few sequins glued on here and there as flower centers but besides that it is just printed card with the words stamped.

Day 35 - Daily Challenge - Simplicity

I am doing a sale in July and need to get some cards done in preparation.  My DIL, Amy has been helping.  This card is from an old Paper Pumpkin kit and I used a different stamp. It is simple, but very pretty.

Day 34 - Daily Challenge - Doughnut card

This is from the Paper Pumpkin kit I got for May.  The card is a doughnut and they provided envelopes that look like little bags.  Pretty cute!
