May Paper Pumpkin

This week there won't be any other posts due to planting, hopefully I will be back with fun stuff for you to see next week!

My fun box arrived, but since we are busy planting wheat, soybeans and potatoes it is going to have to sit unopened for awhile.  Here is what is in the kit this month!

Don't forget to sign up for the next kit!

The Lost Season

This page is one I have had a feeling I would need to create since the middle of March when school was moved to at home learning and the spring sports seasons were postponed.  

I had found the poem called The Last Game on Pinterest quite awhile ago and still wanted to add it to this page even though he didn't get to experience the last high school game knowing it actually was the last one.  The pictures were actually ones I took without him looking when we were taking his 

senior pictures last fall.

The stitches are some packing tape that I found at Amazon with stitches printed on it and I adhered it to Whisper White card stock.  The light reflecting off that and the foil paper in the background made it a little more difficult to take clear pictures of the layout.

Supplies:

Noble Peacock foil paper

Night of Navy, Whisper White and Real Red card stock

packing tape

Roll With It

Here are some more simple examples of using the Share Sunshine PDF...

Each one uses some scraps and die cuts along with designer series papers and embossed card stocks.  I also used some circle punches for the card on the top right and the bottom left.  The sentiments on the bottom cards are punched out with the Timeless Label punch.

Supplies:

Share Sunshine PDF

Pineapple Punch, Gorgeous Grape, Purple Posy, Smoky Slate, Mossy Meadow and 

Whisper White card stock

Tropical Oasis, Classic Garage, Peaceful Poppies dsp collections

Timeless label punch

2" and 2 1/2" circle punches

Stitched Shapes framelits

Stitched So Sweetly dies

May Stamp Club Projects

Since we are still unable to meet for stamp club, I put together the projects for my members this month.  

The first card is made with the Beautiful Friendship and the sentiment is from Peaceful Moments .  The card base is Rococo Rose and I used Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron ink.

Our second card uses the same stamp set for the sentiment, Peaceful Moments, and the Capture the Good set for the cameras.  In the background I have added a Stitched Nested Label die cut, a piece embossed with the Tufted folder and punched out with the Label Me Lovely punch and some Holiday Rhinestones.  The sentiment layer is die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

Finally, the layout showcases the sneak preview Ornate Garden specialty paper that will be in the upcoming catalog.  

We are always happy to welcome new members in our clubs!  Contact me for more details.
