A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: Hugs From Shelli
May 30, 2019
Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!
I'm excited to join in with this talented group of stampers to share alternate ideas for Paper Pumpkin Kits. Today we're sharing the May 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Hugs From Shelli.
This month's kit is almost like a little sneak peek of the Bird Ballad Suite coming June 4th!
I'm enjoying playing with the Hugs From Shelli kit and have a few projects to share with you. Today I'm sharing two styles of cards, in two different colors. Check them out...
First up are a couple of Quick & Cute Panel cards made by cutting the card bases from the kit in half (7" x 2-1/2"). This doubles the number of cards you can get out of each card base...cool, huh?
How'd She DO That? Grateful Panel cards
- Paper:
- Petal Pink/Pool Party (4" x 5-1/2" panel)
- Crumb Cake/Very Vanilla (2-3/4" x 3-3/4" - to mat "half card base")
- Ink: Versamark and Early Espresso Stampin' Spot from kit
Use Versamark ink to stamp flowers in upper left and lower right corners.
Panel cards are great for when you need to send a quick little thank you note.
If you're a follower of my blog, you probably know that I enjoy creating 9-square cards. And this month's kit was perfect for that style of card because it included printed envelopes. I love it when there is printed envelopes in a Paper Pumpkin kit, as it gives even more options for creating alternate ideas!
In a nutshell...you'll need (9) 1" squares of 3 different patterns.
- For the blue card, I used the two blue envelope styles and a card base too.
- For the pink card, I used the two pink envelope styles (front & back).
How'd She DO That? 9-Square Card
- Arrange (9) 1" squares on a 3-1/4" square of Very Vanilla, then adhere in place.
- Adhere complete square onto 3-1/2" square of Crumb Cake.
- Then adhere to folded 11" x 4-1/4" card base (Pretty Peacock - coming June 4, and Petal Pink)
- Stamp greeting near upper half of 1-1/2" circle of Crumb Cake, adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals, on lower half. (Pretty Peacock ink - coming June 4, and Early Espresso Stampin' Spot from kit)
- Decorate with flowers & twine from kit (adhere with glue dots), and Metallic Pearls.
