For today’s post I thought I would share a couple of lovely cards that I received using the Morning Star stamp set (151699) found in the Mini Catalog. This bundle has some lovely sentiment and images.
It also coordinates with our Stitched Star Dies (150653) which are quite lovely. This Die set is part of the Holiday Catalog carry over list and can be found in my Online Store with the other carry over items.
This first card uses the Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and Heather Highland color combination to create a lovely soft thank you card.
And this next card uses the Pretty Peacock again, but this time it has a completely different feel since it has been teamed up with Crumb Cake.
I just love the way color can make such a difference! How about you? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite color combination is?
You can find this and other great products to choose from for your crafting need in my online store. And if you are new to stamping you’ll want to make sure and check out our kit which make crafting easy!

Today’s project is a fun one that creates a lovely set of cards with a holder. It’s done in a soft and subtle classic color combo too so it’s a perfect gift for all kinds of occasions.
Why not create some for your gift giving needs? While we are sheltering and place and have a bit of time at home it’s a great time to plan ahead and get some things done for this years holiday season. Yes, you heard me right, holiday season. I’ve been creating hand stamped projects for gift giving not only to have on hand but to get ahead of the busy holiday season too! Plus as an added bonus stamping and creating reduces my stress level too since it is a chance to relax in my craft space.
And since this set of cards doesn’t require a huge list of supplies to create it’s perfect for those who are beginning to build their stamping supplies too or just want to get something new.
This stamp set has some great images along with a variety of sentiments done in a lovely font – so it is perfect and very versatile for all kinds of projects!
I’ve quickly whipped up a printable tutorial for you today since I wanted to share this with you earlier and it got buried under things in my studio. So why not check it out?

Today I’m going to share with you a fun project that I created to hold a couple of post it note pads. I think it’s a great little gift to give someone too! Want to see it?
So what do you think? It uses the Dressed to Impress Bundle and the stamping is on the inside for a little surprise message along with two little post it note pads.
I used what I had here in my closet of goodies but of course if you wanted to you could put a larger post it note pad inside – I did see that they come in the bigger size when I went looking the other day. I was just too impatient to wait on a delivery to start working on my idea. I call it a purse but really I guess it is a clutch since it doesn’t have handles. 🙂
I’ve got a video tutorial and PDF for you so you can make some too! They are pretty simple to make.

Today’s project is one that I whipped up as a special treat for those that had signed up originally for my live Class last weekend – while the live class didn’t happen as schedule those folks will still get this little sweet little surprise with their kits.
These treats hold 3 Ghirardelli Chocolates and I just happened to be in luck and have enough hidden from my husband in my class room. The caramel and crunchy caramel pecan wrappers were the perfect color combo for this project as they picked up the colors from the fruit in the Tropical Oasis Designer Series paper.
Want to see how I made these quick little treats? How about a 3 minute video?

Yesterday I shared the card that I created April’s birthdays that I’m sending out and so today I thought I’d share the wonderful cards that I received for my birthday last month. It was such a wonderful surprise each time I found one of these special little envelopes in my mail box. Such happy mail from my friends and fellow stampers! And a wonderfully uplifting experience as we were transitioning through March to the shelter in place we have now.
So on to the fun part, sharing with you! I’ll start with the fancy folds
This first card uses the It Starts with Art stamp set (149303) and it’s coordinating dies. Can you see the sheen on the ribbon? Both the Clear Wink of Stella and our Fine Tip Glue Pen has been used to add some shimmer and shine!
This next card uses the Daisy Lane stamp set (149325) and it’s coordinating Daisy Punches.
The Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper (149478) adds a bit of interest and the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder (152321) adds some texture to this lovely little card.
And this next card is soft and lovely
Done in Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz it uses our Tin Tile 3D embossing Folder (151801) and the Healing Hugs stamp set (148223).
And finally this fun easel card using the scallop circle as it’s base – fun right?
Decorated with the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper (151324) and stamped with the Painted Poppies stamp set (151599) and coordinating Painted Labels Dies (151605). These dies are currently on back order but will be back in stock soon for ordering!
And how about a couple more cards using these products?
This last card cleverly uses the See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper (149443) from the Annual Catalog.
And here is another card this time using the Night of Navy patterns from the paper along with this lovely image from the Beautiful Moments stamp set (151677). I just love how versatile this Designer Series Paper pack is!
Here is a card using one of my favorite stamps, Waterfront (146386). A great set for creating scenes like this one.
How about this lovely card using the Lovely Lilypad products that were available during Sale-a-bration last month.
and another using the Happy Birthday to You stamp set that was added to the Paper Pumpkin Kit. I just love how our products work together!
And finally some kit cards – using past Paper Pumpkin Kits among others. This shows you just how great our Paper Pumpkin kits have been and the variety you can expect when you subscribe.
I love how kits make crafting so easy to do!
Whew! That’s all I’m able to share for today, (my internet is giving me fits right now) – But stop by my Facebook page where I’ll be sharing all the cards I received this year.
If you would like to receive a card for your birthday I’d love to send you one. Simply Click HERE to find information on how you can get a card.
Wow, it has taken me a bit longer than I had planned to share this card with you – I can’t believe it is already the 8th and my birthday cards went out earlier this month already. Having everyone home including my adult children has been a crazy, but wonderful to have everyone under our roof again. It just creates a different rhythm to my day. lol
Any how here is the card – I used the bright and cheerful Bermuda Bay and teamed it up with our Daisy Punch and the Daisy Lane stamp set. I think it’s great for spring!
What do you think? Why not leave me a comment?
This card is simple to whip up and easy to make multiples of since our Designer Series Paper Stack has multiple sheets in each color.
Here is a quick video tutorial for you.

I’m sending birthday Cards in 2020! Would you like one?
Would you like to receive a birthday card from me in 2020? I’ve started a new list now for 2020 and will be collecting birthdays to add to it starting now through the end of the year for 2020-2021.
So if you want to be one of those who receive a hand stamped birthday card from me, it’s simple just send an email to me at [email protected] and give me the following information.
Name
Address
Date of birth
(I just need the month and day since we’re all young at heart. But you can include the year if you want to. US only)
(fine print: All info will be kept private and be used only for the purposes of sending you a birthday card)
March’s Paper Pumpkin kit had 2 stamp sets – the one that came with the kit and then a bonus set that coordinated with it. And it seemed like a wonderful kit for right now. I really enjoyed putting it together and creating with the sets themselves. So today I thought I’d share my alternate project with you that I created as a thank you card for those who subscribe to the kit.
I use the Note Cards & Envelopes for these cards since they are a great value and wonderful for newer stampers since you receive the card base and envelope for one low price.
Here is my video tutorial showing you how I created this card – why not take a few minutes to check it out?
.
And a PDF that you can print off with a complete supply list
I couldn’t resist these boots they are so cute – I’ve used the Rocco Rose Ink spot from last months kit for this next alternate that has the same basic layout but adds a layer of color for the background too.
Which do you like better? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?
And of course if you would like to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin and get great kits like these delivered right to your mail box each month you can sign up by clicking HERE.
