Something for Everything Note Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card was created using the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set, Thoughtful Blooms and the Something for Everyone set from the December’s Paper Pumpkin Kit. Since the kit contained a sentiment set I thought this image heavy set was a great choice to create a variety of projects with.

Here is the Note Card that I made.

Here is a quick video showing you how I made this card and see how I put it together.

Paper Pumpkin Dec 2019 – Something for Everything Note Card Tutorial PDF

I used the Cajun Craze ink spot from the December Kit along with the Shaded Spruce ink spot that came in the November Kit – so all you have to do is add some card stock, to the pack of Note Cards and a couple of versatile accessories. Paper Pumpkin kits are a great way to start building your collection of paper craft products. And each month I share a alternate project with you too, like today’s card so that you can use your stamp set again and again.

When I first saw this Sale-a-bration option I knew it was one I wanted to add to my collection and would reach for over and over again! I shared with you my January #imbringingbirthdaysback birthday card I made earlier HERE.

And since I thought it would be a lot of fun to kick the year off with calendars for my stamping friends here is what I came up with.

I’m still in the process of putting them together, but I wanted to share this with you – so if you’re a customer of mine watch for one coming to your mail box soon!

Can you name the set the sentiment is from without looking?

The “Happy Day” sentiment for this project is from one of my favorite sentiment sets, Itty Bitty Greetings. This set holds 32 greetings that cover all kinds of occasions, so it’s a great value and wonderful to team up with your favorite image sets.

Easel fancy folds are perfect for setting this calendar up on your desk and enjoying it though out the year, and with this Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper it’s like looking at a little piece of art.

Want to make one too? I’ve got a video and pdf tutorial for you today.
