Grown With Kindness - Paper Pumpkin Feb. 2019

February's Paper Pumpkin creates 9 cards; 3 of each design.  Using photo based images as a background has become quite popular.  We have had Christmas designer series paper with photo images; there were balloons and cupcakes on another set of designer series paper. and more.  They all made for wonderful cards!

The stamp set in February's Paper Pumpkin has some great sentiments and accent images, like the one underneath the sentiment banner.

So those are the three lovely designs as created by the Paper Pumpkin team.  I am going to wait and see what other great designs people come up with...or then again, in the end I might just do them all up as is!

Paper Pumpkin's 6th birthday is being celebrated next month with an additional FREE stamp set.  It will come in your March box.  This stamp wet will co-ordinate with the kit designs, but are not necessary to complete the kit.   Sign up soon before they are all sold out.  However, deadline is March 10 if they don't sell out before that.

Incredible Like You Project Kit - Stampin' Up!

Here are the 4 cards you can make with this kit.  They are all posted individually below.  The Incredible Like You Project Kit cards are....incredibly beautiful!  I love them all.  I can see why it went into backorder status.

The kit makes 16 cards, 4 cards of 4 designs.  The first I have shown here has an overlay that produces some sweet citrus images. And just like the sentiment, I adore it!

 There are also 16 envelopes with a co-ordinating Grapefruit Grove striped lining.

You can purchase the Incredible Like You photopolymer stamp set for $22.00 (shown at the bottom of this post).  However, you can easily use sentiments you already have on hand to complete this project!

Co-ordinating colours for this kit are:  Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick.  I am sure you can find other colours that will work well with it too!

Your kit also comes with the sweet case to house your set of cards!

The kit itself is $37.00.  You get everything as noted in the above photo.

15 photopolymer stamps include 2 step stamping.

Incredible Like You, Botanical Butterfly and Butterfly Elements

A lovely card using the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper and the Butterfly Elements; both are part of the beautiful choices available during this year's Sale-a-bration!  Highland Heather was used for the card base and sentiment.  A little bit of visual interest is added by using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits.    

The sentiment is from the Incredible Like You stamp set.  This stamp set was designed to go with the Incredible Like You Project Kit.  I will have a post on this; they are the most beautiful cards.

Happy Tails and Crackle Paint

Happy Tails...the sweetest dog stamp set.  The background using the Crackle Paint Background Stamp was made with Smokey Slate Ink stamped on Smokey Slate card stock.  I used a piece of paper from the Classic Garage 6 x 6 DSP and ran it through the Big Shot with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits die.   The cute little paw print was stamped in Basic Gray.  It wasn't my idea to use the paw print this way...but I love the idea!

Although I fussy cut my dog, there is a co-ordinating punch for the dog.  It is called the Dog Builder Punch...but there is really no building involved  ;)  just the dog and a heart.  I once again used a sheet of paper from the Classic Garage DSP and added three hearts.

My second card uses the Balloon Punch (I trimmed it to a smaller size) and a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twine.  I really do think my puppy is interested in that balloon.  :)

The Stampin' Up! Chalk Marker added a little bit of light to the balloon.

You can find the Happy Tails and Crackle Paint stamps in the new 2019 Occasions Catalogue.

Cat Punch and Sprig Punch

Here is a cute and quick card using the Cat Punch (page 211) and the Sprig Punch (a carryover).

The base of the card is embossed with the Subtles Embossing Folder.  This is an easy way to give any card stock a subtle textured feel.  The striking Designer Series Paper is from Botanical Butterfly.  This paper has butterflies on one aside and a black and white pattern on the reverse.  Get this DSP FREE with a $60 purchase during Sale-a-bration!

The purple embellishments are from the Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins (Occasions catalogue). The colour is Highland Heather.

Lastly, my sentiment is from the Host Photopolymer Stamp Set called Hand Delivered.

Credits:  my card was CASED from Stampin' Pretty - a well known US Demo.  I made a few changes (size, embossing folder, embellishments)  but it is still her wonderful design!
