A Little Smile - June 2019 Paper Pumpkin Alternative


For those who just love full size cards here is a few alternatives for you using "A Little Smile", June 2019's Paper Pumpkin Kit. 
Two of the photo's below I used my own personal stamp sets from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog that go along perfectly (I think) with this months Paper Pumpkin Kit, "Sailing Home" and "Seaside Notions".
I love this months kit and the idea behind sharing these little notes of thanks, encouragement and endearments with others. They are quick and easy to make and sure to bring a smile, some happiness and love to someone's day!
Keep it going...you can make these small notes with very little supplies, in fact there are so many leftover embellishments from this months kit you could make double what the kit says just by cutting you some cardstock to 4-1/2" X 3-1/2" and scoring at 2-1/4".
I hope you share the love with friends, family and strangers today.

Designer Series Paper - At a Glance

How to organize your12" x  12" DSP. 
Last year I went on a Kylie's "Love it Chop it" kick, that's where you cut you DSP into manageable/ usable sizes. 4" X  6", 6" X  6" etc. It was really a good way to make me see, and use more of Stampin' Up's beautiful DSP and not hoard it from year to year. 
However, I have come to the conclusion that from now on I will do that at years end! That's when our "NEW" for now (June 2019) will be replaced in the yearly  turnover...yep I mean the next 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. 
If you need help with quickly finding what color cardstock matches with that specific Designer Series Paper here is an awesome way to keep your colors and DSP together so you can find your match just by glancing at the color circles.
I think this will also be an awesome way too for us hoarders of paper to use it more often too.
I really love how Stampin' Up gives us coordinating colors on the back of the DSP packs but I need more than words. VISUALS work for me. So punching out the 1-1/2" coordinating color circles and putting them with my "DSP - At a Glance"works better for me.
I used my Open Office program to write all the DSP names and printed them out on Whisper White Cardstock
Woven Threads, Magnolia Lane, Garden Lane, Follow Your Art, Bird Ballad, Dinoroar, Perennial Essence, See a Silhouette, Come Sail Away, Pressed Petals, Mosaic Mood, and Noble Peacock.

Measurements and Supplies:

12 - 8-1/2" X 11" Whisper White Cardstock
1 - 4" X 2" of each design in your double sided paper pack 
1-1/2" Circle Punch. (cardstock craps to punch coordinating color cardstock. (Read the colors on the back of your Stampin' Up DSP)
Snail Permanent Adhesive.

Instructions:
1.  Print out your DSP names onto the 12 Whisper White Sheets of Cardstock.
2.  Pick your DSP Pack.
3. Cut a 4" X  2" piece of each double sided design, then cut those in two so you now have a 2" square of each front and back design of paper in your pack.
4. Read from the back of your DSP pack and collect scraps of colored cardstock large enough to cut your 1-1/2" circles. Write the color names on them.
5. Adhere front and back design side by side on left side and right side of Whisper White Cardstock like so.
     1-2                 3-4
     5-6                 7-8
     9-10              11-12
6.  Adhere circles down the center in a pattern that fits. (Some have more colors than others)
