Paper Scraps #2

Thanks for popping in today. As promised in my post yesterday, I'm sharing another project I made with my paper scraps... strips of scraps that is.

On the left is the card I shared yesterday and on the right is today's card. I used the same suite of products and the inside of that cut oval (I got three pieces from the one die cut).

The Notecards & Envelopes were the perfect size for this project. I stamped all the images using Memento Black Ink and coloured the spools with Watercolour Pencils. To smooth out my pencil lines, I went over everything with a Blender Pen - love those things! If you go that route, just make sure you wipe it off between colours... unless you want to do some blending. ;)

I used some more of that ribbon from yesterday's project. It was sitting in my scrap bin and couldn't resist using it. Of course, this card could work with any ribbon or twine. I loved the little detail on the "spool" I created, though I'm sure that's meant more for a sentiment. haha.

Of course, I never ignore the inside. I kept this one pretty simple... and that's ok! If you'd like to know what I used to make this card (and yesterday's), you can find that info below and it'll take you right to my shop.

Until next time, stay crafty!

Alternative Projects for Paper Pumpkin March 2017

You know I love Paper Pumpkin... just as much as I love altering the kits every month to create something different then what was intended. ;) Yesterday, I posted a video to my YouTube Channel that walks you through the kit and then the projects I posted below. I promised in the video that I would post some still shots of the projects, so here they are!

Here's what the kit makes - so adorable, right?! I really loved all the different faces you could stamp and how nicely you could stamp on the fabric bags.

By having some Note Cards and Envelopes on hand and the willingness to cut your kit apart a bit, you could create the following two cards...

I really enjoyed playing around with the stamp images in this kit! By doing some repeat stamping with the "eyes", "whiskers" and "mouth/nose" you can create some great backgrounds or patterns. Cool, eh?!  For the card on the right, I used one of the "ears" to create petals. I coloured them in with Watercolour Pencils and blended the colours together with a Blender Pen.

I explain more about the next two in the video, but I used the tissue paper that comes in every kit and applied it to the card front. It adds lots of interest and colour. I also created a shaker card - those are so fun!

Lastly, I turned those easter eggs into dinosaur eggs... and combined them with the No Bones About It stamp set. :)

Hope you loved these alternative projects! Don't forget, a 3-month Paper Pumpkin subscription is on sale until March 31st, and purchasing one before the end of the month qualifies you for a FREE Sale-A-Bration product. It's a win-win! In addition, Sara Douglass (CEO of Stampin' Up!) has created April's kit and included a free gift to everyone inside each kit!! Can't wait to see what it is... don't forget to subscribe by April 10th if you want in on her kit.

Here's the video:

Until next time, stay crafty!
