April Paper Pumpkin

Well, since April is almost over and I haven't had a chance to open my Paper Pumpkin kit and show you some ideas I wanted to make sure to share the video with you at least!

You still have time to sign up for next month's kit!  

Wishes Your Way

I love using the dandelion images from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set for various types of cards, but for this one I chose to use a sentiment that comes in the same stamp set...

I chose a Mint Macaron background and added some Botanical Butterfly designer series paper and bakers twine before adding a sentiment stamped on a die cut from the Spot of Tea framelits collection.

Supplies:

Dandelion Wishes

Basic Black ink

Mint Macaron, Whisper White card stock

Botanical Butterfly dsp (SAB 2019)

Spot of tea framelits

baker's twine

April Stamp Club Projects

This month we used the Broadway  Bound specialty paper as the focus for our 12 x 12 double layout. 

We also added some Sale-a-bration Lovely Lipstick foil paper to one side along with coordinating card stock colors - Lemon Lime Twist, Gray Granite, Lovely Lipstick and Basic Black.

The first card uses the Gingham gala designer series paper in coordination with the Dandelion Wishes and Love What You Do stamp sets.  The ink colors used were Basic Gray and Balmy Blue. 

Lastly we did a little different style or card.  The base of Merry Merlot is 5 1/2" x 4" and the piece on the front is 3 3/4" x 3 3/4".  We used the Needle and Thread stamp set along with Merry Merlot, Early Espresso and Mossy Meadow ink.

If you think these look fun and want to try out our club as a member or guest, you can get more details about both the monthly club and virtual club right here!
