Pretty Pocket Card Kit- Inside Out!

The other day Sara, CEO of Stampin' Up! shared a video where she turned the pockets from the Sale-A-Bration Pretty Pocket Card Kit inside out. I had to try that, since I don't care for the yellow version of the cards in the kit. The blue polka dots are so much cuter!


For this card, I doubled the Baker's Twine. Check it out! My bow looks like a bow!



You can get this card kit FREE with a $50 order!

Paper Pumpkin August 2016 Bold Botanicals Alternate Note Cards

 I liked working on the August 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit "Bold Botanicals", except for where there were white and vanilla elements used together. That just doesn't look right to me. So for the last two note cards, I sponged Mint Macaron over the whitish streaks. The rest of the elements are vanilla. 


The circle with "Thanks" on it and the burlap trim are from the standard size cards, the banner with the Cajun Craze border and the kraft layer are from the note cards, and the little lined cards are for inside the pocket cards. 

This is how I stamped the back of all of these cards, using a set that was available to demonstrators at Convention a few years ago.

Paper Pumpkin August 2016 Bold Botanicals Alternate Cards

Here are my alternatives for the standard size cards in the August 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit "Bold Botanicals"



I added an Early Espresso circle, a Cajun Craze scalloped circle, and a vanilla circle for the focal piece.

These cards use the remaining pocket cards with the edges cut to make them a rectangle.



I also used Lace Doilies to cover up the fold line on the patterned pieces. The orange circles are cut from the layers for the note cards. I added white layers and white circles for the focal pieces. The dashed circle stamp on the upper card is from the June 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit "Banner Surprise".

Cool Treats Cherry To My Sundae

 Last night was our monthly Stamp Share. This is the card I made for our swap. I had so much fun cutting out all the little pieces and putting them together! This is such a cute stamp bundle!


close up of the ice cream and silver spoon:



Colors: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party, Silver, Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White

The ice cream bowl is cut out of Designer Series Paper. I love how it looks like the texture of a waffle cone! The cherry is cut out of Watermelon Wonder and then I used a Chocolate Chip marker to color the stem.
