12 October 2020 Paper Pumpkin: Joy to the World Alternative Projects

I finished my October Paper Pumpkin kit! I used almost every piece and only have a few extra card bases left. I made 15 projects (including a couple doubles) from the October 2020 Joy the World kit. The kit was designed to make 8 cards (4 each of 2 designs). 

There are so many great pieces -- die cuts, embossed pieces -- I even used the envelope liners to create my projects! Leave me a comment and let me know which of these projects is your favorite! 

Remember the Halloween Sampler that I created last month? See it here. I decided to replace it with a Christmas one, made of four larger squares (2-3/4" x 2-3/4" pieces layered on to 3" x 3" White and Cherry Cobbler cardstock).

Here are some of the squares made into cards:

When I create alternative projects with my Paper Pumpkin kits, I like to stick to the supplies in the kit as much as possible. For the most part, I only used additional cardstock in coordinating colors (Just Jade, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, and Soft Sea Foam). The only exception is the Joy card (where I used the Timeless Tag Punch) and the Gold Glitter Enamel Dots that I added to several cards. I wanted an additional embellishment to dress up the cards and these enamel dots were perfectly festive!

Each Paper Pumpkin kit includes an exclusive stamp set. I used the flower image along with the "love" die cut to create this non-Christmas card that will be perfect to send for Valentine's Day or "just because". I used Calypso Coral ink on Petal Pink cardstock and added a stripe of the Crumb Cake card base to tie in the Gold Foil.

Did you know that you can print a stamp case insert for your Paper Pumpkin stamps? It's a great way to organize and store your Paper Pumpkin stamp collection after you complete your kit. Click here to get empty cases in my Online Store. Download Paper Pumpkin Stamp Case Inserts here.

Stampin' Up! Dove of Hope: Peace, Joy, Love Christmas Card

My creative muse took an extra long coffee break this month and I'm late in designing my Stamp of the Month Club projects. Nevertheless, I love the way they turned out! I combined the gorgeous Brightly Gleaming Designer Paper (with Copper Foil Accents) and the beautiful images in Dove of Hope to make this elegant Christmas card kit. Here is the first of the three card designs featured in this kit:

I stamped the dove and foilage in Night of Navy ink and colored the leaves using Mossy Meadow ink (gently squeeze the ink pad to pool a small amount of ink on the lid) and Wink of Stella. I tipped the tip of the brush into the ink and colored the leaves and then brushed on scrap paper to remove any residual ink.

It's time to sign up for my October Stamp of the Month Club card kit! Click here for details and order your kit.

There is no commitment when you join my Stamp of the Month Club! I'll add you to my club mailing list and you'll receive one email each month revealing the stamp set and card designs. You can choose when you want to participate by simply replying to that email.

Each month, I feature a different stamp set.
