Card #2
I made an 8-1/2" X  11" (Janice) DSP of my own using the Painted Seasons Stamp Set on Very Vanilla Cardstock with Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, and Garden Green Ink. I made a gate fold card, used Cherry Cobbler Cardstock behind my DSP and sentiment. Accented all in Gold Foil die cut from Wonderful Floral Framelits, added a little twine with shiny red through it too. 

Card #3
I used (Janice) DSP as above backed it with Soft Suede Cardstock on a Very Vanilla Base. I stamped the little circles and sponged in Cherry Cobbler. Added a flower and leaves to accent the corner.

Card #4
Using (Janice) DSP I die cut the edge and the sentiment in gold foil with Wonderful Floral framlits and cut 3/4" of the Garden Green card front.
Card #5
Using my handmade (Janice)DSP I cut the gold foil accents using Wonderful Floral Framlits, Punched out a gold 2-1/2" Circle and Very Vanilla 2" Circle. Punched 2 holes using the detailed Trio Punched and threaded garden green ribbon through, tied a bow attached to Early Espresso Cardstock and glued to a Very Vanilla Base Card 
Card #6
 I used the Painted Seasons DSP and die cut a stitched rectangle, stamped and sponged the background in petal pink added Lovely Lipstick flowers and Lemon Lime Twist leaves in two corners
Card #7
I used the outer and inner pieces of rectangles from the card above, layered them on a Very Vanilla Card Base ran through the Big Shot with the Subtle Embossing folder, then used the pretty label punch, then the detailed trio punch to make holes for the powder pink ribbon, stamped the sentiment added pretty powder pink flowers and Lemon Lime Twist Leaves.

Janice Designed Cardstock :)
I stamped using Pumpkin Pie, Call Me Clover, Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Grapefruit Grove and Soft Suede Ink pads. It is Bright and Cheery.

This one I used Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party and Powder Pink Ink Pads, soft and pretty.

Can you believe the gorgeous pine cone image. It looks so real, it's amazing and so hard to believe that it is a single stamped image...I just love these "Dist-ink-tive"©Stampin' Up! natural real looking images. This will make a beautiful winter or even a Christmas Card.

February 2019 Paper Pumpkin Alternate


I can't stop myself cutting up my Paper Pumpkin kit this month. Here is another idea but you will have to use some things from your own stash ...  I used the Dot to Dot Embossing Folder but if you don't have that, use a different one...or put some of the stamps from this months kit on a block together and make your own background like I show in the video. Use what you have available too. On this card I had a small piece of scrap Real Red Cardstock I used. I am not particularly fond of black and white stripes but chopped up into smaller pieces hmmmm... maybe i will use them all up. Check out yesterdays Blog post for more ideas.

Measurements and Supplies

From your Grown with Kindness Paper Pumpkin Kit...

1 striped card cut in half. 
Punch a 2-1/4" circle from white half.
Cut a 3/4" X  5-1/8" strip of black and white stripes
Cut a 2" X  3-3/4" striped portion, then angle cut how you want (don't forget to take off a tiny bit on each cut)
1 black card base
Gems, Stampin' Dimensionals

Other Supplies....
4" X  3-3/4" Whisper White Cardstock,
Scrap of Basic Black Cardstock for 2-1/4" Circle
