A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: Summer Nights
August 06, 2020
Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!
I'm excited to join this talented group of stampers to share alternate ideas for Paper Pumpkin Kits. Today we're sharing the July 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Summer Nights
July Paper Pumpkin - Summer Nights
- Kit contains enough supplies to create nine postcards and coordinating envelopes, as well as nine die-cut tealight bags.
- Card size: 4” x 5-1/4”
- Coordinating Colors: Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy
I adore the colors of this kit. Reminds me of summer evenings (duh, of course), but also early fall.
Here's a FOUR alternative ideas using the Summer Nights Paper Pumpkin kit and Summer Nights Add-On card pack.
How'd She DO That? Rock & Roll Summer Nights Card
- On front of folded Pool Party card base (4-1/4" x 11), stamp fireworks image using "rock & roll" stamping technique
- Ink up stamp with Coastal Cabana ink, then roll only the edges onto Night of Navy ink pad. Stamp, clean and repeat as desired.
- For sentiment - ink up stamp with Coastal Cabana ink, then add Night of Navy ink to top and bottom of image. Stamp on label die cut (from kit) and adhere with dimensionals.
- Add NEW Iridescent Pearls in the center of the fireworks.
How'd She DO That? Summer Nights Add-On Card (features envelope)
- If you're a reader of mine, you'll know that I love to use patterned lined envelopes to decorate my cards.
- The Summer Nights Add-On (154973) includes just such envelopes (along with 24 fabulously colored card bases)...super cute!
- Trim out a 4" x 5-1/4" piece from the inside of the envelope.
- The banner is made with the NEW Banners Pick a Punch (I'm in love!). Start with 1/2" x 4" piece of Night of Navy, cut both ends with punch.
- The sentiment is stamped with Night of Navy ink.
- Decorate card with die cuts from the kit.
These cards couldn't be easier to make. Plus the results are stunning!
How'd She DO That? Summer Nights QC Cards
- First off - I totally CASED the layout of a card shown on page 126 from the 2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.
- Second off - the floral images are stamped directly onto the card with Blackberry Bliss ink (from the kit). Then use Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to move ink around and add glitter (in person - these cards shine!)
- Stamps: Tasteful Touches
- Paper: Crumb Cake card base, post card from kit, Mint Macaron for sentiment
