May Paper Pumpkin is sold out

Paper Pumpkin is selling kits in record numbers and May subscriptions have sold out. What does this mean?
Because we have sold out for May:

• New customers will not be able to subscribe until May 11, 2020 and will receive their first kit in June.
• Accounts currently in canceled or suspended status will be allowed to reactivate, but will not receive the May kit. Subscribers that reactivate after we sold out will be reactivated for the JUNE subscription period.
• Subscribers will not be able to modify their kit quantity to add more kits to their May order.

We have placed a sold out message on the paperpumpkin.com subscribe page with the above information for customers.
Please note that anyone in active status before we sold out will still receive the May kit unless they choose to suspend or cancel their subscription before the end of the May subscription period on May 10.
We sincerely appreciate your contribution to Paper Pumpkin’s incredible growth, and we are grateful for your patience as we work to accommodate ever-increasing numbers of subscribers.

This is-

So fun!  So bright!  So cheery!  So Spring like!!

I love it!

Look at this gorgeous card!

I used the NEW Ornate Garden Specialty DSP here & colored it with my Stampin' Blends!

This is just such a pretty bouquet of flowers!

I grabbed the words from the RETIRING 'Birthday Jubilee' stamp set.

Cut them out using the Stitched Shapes Dies (circle).

And layered the words onto a Granny Apple Green layer, using the Label Me Lovely Punch! 

Do you see the flowers that I shadowed stamped along the edge (tone on tone)?

This is from the 'Ornate Style' stamp set.

Timeless Tulip

It is simple Saturday.......and I'm sharing a beautiful card, that is made easily- because it uses a cool punch!!

I used the 'Timeless Tulip' stamp set & coordinating Tulip Builder Punch.  If you purchase the 2 of these together as a bundle, you save 10%.  

You all know that I'm a punch girl!!  So I love this bundle!  I also love the color combination of purple & green together.  So this is a totally Susie card!

Look at the detail in this tulip.  This stamp set is a photopolymer stamp & it is a dis'ink'tive stamp.  Which means it is lots of detail, with light & dark shading- all in the stamp design!  How cool!  This is a patent design of Stampin' Up!

stamp set:  'Timeless Tulips'
card stock:  

• Highland Heather- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base; 4 x 2 1/2"
• Granny Apple Green- 4 1/4 x 2 3/4"
• Whisper White- 2" strip- stamp Tulip onto & punch out; 2 1/4 x 3 3/4"- stamp stem & leaves onto; 1" strip- stamp words onto & punch out with Classic Label Punch; 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card

designer paper:  Pleased to Punch DSP- NOT available now- so sorry!
ink:  Highland Heather; Granny Apple Green
other:  Tulip Builder Punch; Dimensionals; Glue Dots; Classic Label Punch- punch out & then flap the end with your Paper Snips; Gorgeous Grape Striped Ribbon

I hope you have a SENSATIONAL Saturday!
Happy Stamping!

Sailing Home

Humm......guess I must have been in the mood to make guy cards!!  

But I often hear my customers say that guy cards are hard to design and that they never have enough guy cards.  So at my classes each month, I try to share at least one guy card.  

I made this guy card a few weeks ago.......and I thought it turned out pretty neat!  I used the  'Sailing Home' stamp set & coordinating Come Sail Away DSP!

How did I make the sun?  I just used my So Saffron ink pad & a sponge dauber.  Adding the birds flying in the air, the water ripples, the birds & the sun to this card, sure added a lot of dimension & a realistic look.  

What do you think?  I know that Father's Day is a couple of months away yet, but this would make a great card for that occasion.  And it would make a great guy birthday card too!  

stamp sets:  'Sailing Home'; 'Best Catch' (words); 'Artisan Textures'- for the water
card stock:

• Night of Navy-5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base; 1 3/4" strip- punch out Scalloped Circle; 3 x 3 1/2"
• Soft Suede- 3 1/4 x 3 3/4"; 3/4 x 5 1/2"
• Whisper White- 2 3/4 x 3 1/4"- stamp sail boats, water & birds onto this; 1 1/2" strip- stamp words onto & punch out with 1" Circle Punch; 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card

designer paper:  Come Sail Away DSP- 4 x 1 1/2"
inks:  Night of Navy & So Saffron
Stampin' Blends:  Light Soft Suede
other:  1" Circle Punch; 1 3/8" Scalloped Circle Punch; Sponge Dauber; Dimensionals

I hope you have a great Thursday!!

Mountain Air

Do you need a guy card!!!  This one is clean, simple & cute!  I think it is a great guy card!

I used the trees from the 'Mountain Air' stamp set.  Using my Mossy Meadow ink pad, I stamped the 2 lower trees first & then didn't re-ink my stamp, but "shadow" stamped the trees again (yes- the shorter tree was actually stamped over the darker taller tree).  Doing this shadow stamping, give you a lighter shade for the trees.  

Can you believe that this designer paper is from the Magnolia Lane DSP?  Yup- this DSP is so versatile!  That is very neat huh!

Yesterday morning we woke up to about 3" of snow on the ground!  I was thinking- what the heck!  In mid April, we sure don't need snow.  Thankfully it was all melted by shortly after lunch.    

But with yesterdays snow fall- it got me to thinking as I was posting this card.  I could have added some snow flakes onto these trees & in the air too.  This card would also make an awesome winter scene too!

stamp sets: 

• 'Darling Label Punch Box' (words)- page 94 Annual Catalog
• 'Mountain Air' (trees)- page 52 Mini Catalog

card stock:

• Crumb Cake-  5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base; 2 1/4 x 3 1/4"
