Joy to the World - Paper Pumpkin - Stampin' Up! 2020
Here's a quick and easy alternate card made with this month's Paper Pumpkin entitled Joy to the World. Normally these kits are available only in North America; but this one is a global kit and will be available to other markets.
The kit comes with foil sentiments in English, French and German. The sentiment in the above card is "love" in German. I have already given this card away! I love the Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and gold foil together.
The only things that are not from the kit are the embellishment in the centre of the flower (retired) and the rhinestones (which were coloured with Blends)
The kit came with 8 lined envelopes to co-ordinate with the images. I enjoy the non-standard 4" X 6" (approx.) cards this kit provided.
It is a fun kit filled with tons of possibilities!

Thanks for topping by!

Butterfly Gala - Flowers for Every Season - Stampin' Up! 2020
Summer is now at an end and fall is here in full force, but it is always in season to make cards with butterflies! I received a Secret Sister card, which I loved so I decided to CASE it and this is the result.
I was happy to cut into some of the Flowers for Every Season DSP to make this a quick and easy card. This paper features the new In Colors, with Misty Moonlight used for the card base and butterflies.
The Butterfly Gala punched elements were easy to colour with the blends.
For this card I used:
Misty Moonlight card stock
Misty Moonlight Blends
Balmy Blue Blends
Misty Moonlight Classic Ink (to stamp)
Butterfly Gala stamp set and co-ordinating punch
Flowers for Every Season DSP
Stitched Rectangles
Butterfly Wishes (for sentiment)
Elegant Faceted Gems

Celebrate Sunflowers - Stampin' Up! 2020
Happy Thanksgiving!
I made this card in August for a Secret Sister exchange. So, just posting now that the session has ended. I have been seeing many cards made with the business size envelope in mind. They have been referred to as "slimline" cards. It was fun using a different size base to create. I think it has a clean and simple look.
Celebrate Sunflowers together with the Sunflowers dies were used to create the three small sunflowers. I coloured them with Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Soft Suede and Old Olive Blends. The sunflowers were stamped in Early Espresso Classic Ink. You can find this fun set on page 13 of the annual catalogue.
Other products on my card are:
Elegant Faceted Gems
In Good Taste Designer Series Paper and
Itty Bitty Greetings.

Paper Pumpkin - September 2020 Hello Pumpkin' - Stampon' Up! 2020
Another quick card with September's Hello Pumpkin.
A Mossy Meadow card base with a Whisper White layer was used to highlight the three Cajun Craze lattice panels that were joined together as a backing. I cut the sentiment apart to help the Give Thanks fit nicely onto the pumpkin. Love the pumpkins!
So that's my quick, clean and crisp card for today.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Pumpkin Sept, 2020 - Paper Pumpkin - Stampin' Up!
This is the very first Hallowe'en card I have made! The card is made with the September 2020 Paper Pumpkin called Hello Pumpkin. It may take me forever to finish off this kit...there are that many elements in the kit!
The kit is geared to make treat packages, but I started off by making cards. The black card base, white card stock and the spider were not included in the kit. The Spider Trinket is a retired product; I just cut off the end.
This really was fun! If you would like to learn more about Paper Pumpkin, please let m know. You can visit

Butterfly Gala - Stampin' Up! 2020
Today's card was received in the mail from my Secret Sister for my birthday. It's a program from a buy 'n sell stamp related Facebook group. The year is almost up! I have loved each and every one of the cards I received, some of which I posted on this blog.
I love everything about this card. The embossing folder technique; the way the rectangle die was used and of course the butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set which can be punched out with the co-ordinating butterfly punch.
I really want to CASE this card; I will post very soon. It will only be a similar card as I don't have that embossing folder.
So, thanks for stopping by and viewing this wonderful card!

Covid 19 Giving Back - Stampin' Up! 2020 - #sharesunshine
Here's a fun Covid 19 card...seeing as the actual Covid 19 is far from fun! I sent off a few of these and realized I did not take a picture. But I did have this before image (nothing is glued down yet) that I still had.
My original card was made with a card base from March's, No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin kit (no pic of that either). I needed another so I made my own background with water-colour paper and ink refills. Colours here are Smokey Slate and Balmy Blue. I used a Blends marker to colour the hearts which were punched from a retired hearts punch.
Sentiments were from the PDF that you can purchase for $12 US (converted to CAN $) ; all proceeds to COVID 19 charities
Click on the link for more info.
There are limitations to this product, so if you are interested let me know and I'll fill you in on this fun PDF.
I hope you are managing well during the pandemic. In Ontario we are easing in to things with caution. Stay safe!
Check out everything Stampin' Up! at my on-line store.
New catalogues are on the way and all goes live June 3, 2020!
Take care;
