Happy Birthday to my Great Nephew

Recently my Great Nephew celebrated his 3rd birthday!  I made this card for him using a new set from the New July to December Mini Catalogue - Seal of Approval (#159762).

This set has the cutest little Seal and I made it for a birthday but it can be for Christmas too!

Retiring In the Horizon

I am so sad to see the New Horizons Suite retire and today is thefinal day for the LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS from the retiring January to June Mini Catalogue.

This Suite has a Stamp set and die bundle (On the Horizon Bundle #157779), Mini Cotton Ribbon pack (#158140), Pebbles Enamel Shapes (#158141) and the most amazing New Horizon Designer Series Paper Pack (#147768).

My card today used this Designer Series Paper as the main focus for the front of the card.  This DSP can actually made a card front on its own!


Isn't the water colour design on the card so pretty?!  I added the snow covered mountains and some embellishments and the card is complete.  Looks like the mountains here in Alberta as they still have a lot of snow cover on them.  We haven't had enough warm weather to melt the snow!

PPP Blog Hop - Pick of the Crop

 


Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!

The beauty of the Paper Pumpkin kit is that you can follow the directions provided in the kit to make the projects as they were designed, or use the supplies as a starting point and let your creativity run wild. On this hop we will be sharing lots of ideas with you on how to use the June Paper Pumpkin kit "Pick of the Crop".

These are the original projects:




Here are the 2 alternate projects that I made using the supplies in the kit and only 1 additional item!

For my first alternate card I added a white Stitched square over top of the pink piece leaving a border showing and cut the canopy off of the flower stand to use it as a bowl for the fruit. All the other pieces are from the kit!


For my second alternate I used the remains of the flower stand and added one of the long labels to make the top of the stand. All the other pieces are from the kit!


The additional supplies used for my alternate cards will be listed below.


Thank you for joining us as we share with you the possibilities of Paper Pumpkin. Now hop over to my friend Tricia's blog where you will find another great Paper Pumpkin alternate project idea.

Retiring Artfully Layered Stamp Set

Sadly one of my favourite bundles is retiring on June 30th.  I will miss the stamp set, dies and the amazing Designer Series Paper with the tropical feel.  Here is another card using the stamp set but not the dies and using a totally different colour scheme. Thanks to Tina Wardell for this inspiration.


The addition of the Blue foil and the Waves basic jewels really pull the blue colour from the image that was created using 3 different ink colours.
