How did I diagonally cut the dsp?

 2.  Close the cutting bar.

3.  Cut it.

4.  It looks like this!

5.  Adhere the top piece of the DSP to the top half of the So Saffron card stock.
6.  Adhere the bottom piece of the DSP to the bottom half of the So Saffron card stock.

7.  It looks like this!

I hope you have a very SPECIAL Sunday!!
May all of you that are Mother's have a very special day!
Sending hugs!

More Bonazna Buddies!

This card is sooo fun!!  And I used such a cute stamp set- 'Bonanza Buddies', to create it.  I'm sure having fun creating with this Bundle!

You can CLICK below to see a couple other cards I created with the Bonanza Buddies Bundle.

• HERE!
• AND HERE!

Check out this toucan.  He is an image in the Birthday Bonanza DSP!  He is actually going the opposite direction of the die.  So I used an old Stampin' Up! Light Box I had, to help me cut him out.  

Keep scrolling down to find out how I did it!

• I plugged in the Light Box & turned it on.

• I laid the DSP, so that the patterned side was up & & the toucan was on the underneath side.
• I laid the die over the toucan- that I could see through the DSP, because of the light. 
• I used some washi tape to help hold the die in place.  
• I carefully picked up the DSP & die & placed it onto my Magnetic Plaform, on my Big Shot.
• And I cut it out!

•  This is what it looked like after it was cut out.

• And I flipped it over & this is what the toucan looked like.  
• NOTE that he had a hat on.  I cut the top part of the hat off.  Since I stamped a birthday hat to put onto him, it didn't matter that just a little bit of the hat image from the DSP was there.

ALSO:  If you do not have a light box, you can use the sun shinning through a window.  This will work, but it is just harder to get the die lined up this way, since it isn't laying on a flat surface!  But if you don't have a light box- no worries- you can still cut reverse image like this out.  

 Look at the pile of toucan's I cut out......some are facing right & some are facing left!

They they will work either direction when placing them on this card.

As this is what the finished card looks like!
Just so cute!

This is my hostess code for May orders!

You can order from

my ON LINE STORE.

CONTACT ME HERE!

Awhh.....I just love this daisy card!!  And honestly, these are not a normal color combination for me!!  But I wanted to use this Garden Lane DSP!  So this is what I decided to create with it!  I am very happy with the way it turned out!!  It is a very pretty card!

 
I used a LOT of RETIRING products when creating this card-

• 'Painted Harvest' stamp set- RETIRING!
• Clear Faceted Gems- RETIRING!
• Leaf Punch- RETIRING!
• Pearlized Doilies- RETIRING!
• Garden Lane DSP- RETIRING! 
• Tufted 3D Embossing Folder- RETIRING!

And look at it when it standing up!!  I did my favorite "z fold" with it too!  I thought it just made it that much more special.

NOTE:  The words & the leaf stamp- are both in the 'Painted Harvest' stamp set!  It is awesome that this leaf coordinated with the Leaf Punch!  I love the sunflowers in this 'Painted Harvest' stamp set.  It is on page 128 in the Annual Catalog.  Check it out!!  If you are a stamper that attends my monthly classes- you probably already have this stamp set, as I've used it a lot over the past few years!  I will sure miss it!  And I'm going to really miss the Leaf Punch, as it is an all time favorite & go to punch of mine!  If you don't have either of these.....you might want to get them before they are gone. 


This card would make a great All Occasion card- sympathy, birthday, Mother's Day, thank you, etc.... 

So what do you think of this card?  I might send this to my mom for Mother's Day!  She loves these colors & this just might be the perfect card for her!

This Little Piggy with his Covid-19 Mask!

Awhh......this is totally a Susie card!!  Me & my little piggies!  This is an adorable stamp set that is dear to my heart!  I can't wait for the kids to see this card today.  I know that they will all love it!  As I have a feeling we might be making more of these piggy cards!

So.....I put a little Covid-19 mask on my 'This Little Piggy' card today.  

How did I make the mask?

• It is a TINY piece of white card stock that measures- 3/8" x 5/8"- & I score it every 1/8" on my Simply Scoring Tool.  I then cut 1/8" strips of white card stock for the straps.  
• The mask has a dimensional behind it.  
• The straps are adhered with a glue dot on the end of them & tucked in under the mask (since it is popped up with the dimensional).  
• I bend the ends of the straps to the backside of the pig & then used Tear & Tape to hold those ends down.
• This mask is easy to make!  
• And I think it turned out so cute!

Check out the words on this card.  The words are a download you can purchase from the Covid-19 SU! digital stamp set.

His birthday card is very similar to my pig card above.  I have his card posted below.  I used the words from the 'Bonanza Buddies' stamp set.  I can't wait for him to see this.  I think he'll love it!  As he has 12 4-H pigs again this year.  They are right behind our house.  And all of the kids are lovin' being with these pigs each day!  Our piggies are pretty tame!  And it is so cute watching the kids spend time with them.

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.
