On Saturday, July 18 at 1 p.m. I will be offering this Zoom Class to teach the drapery fold technique inspired by Debbie Henderson. You can purchase the pdf tutorial for $5 (which will be emailed prior to class) and use your own materials to create similar cards. If you would like to participate send me a message.

My Collection of June's Paper Pumpkin Cards

I rarely purchase more than one Paper Pumpkin kit per month. However I did buy two for June. The Box of Sunshine kit was just too wonderful. From the first box I made the 8 cards just as described, two of each.

From the second box I made a total of 32 cards from that box plus the left over pieces from the first box. I threw in some additional pieces from previous Paper Pumpkin kits I had hanging around and some additional card bases in coordinating colors. Oh yes, I also used some long retired Designer Series Paper because the lemons were perfect with this kit!

Maybe these cards will inspire you to subscribe to the monthly Paper Pumpkin kit. I've been a subscriber for 4+ years now. Each month is different, but all are wonderful. Add a little creativity and you can make awesome cards to give to your friends and family.  Just visit my online store to sign up or visit www.paperpumpkin.com and choose me as your demonstrator. For $22 a month that includes shipping it is a super value for your time and money. 

More Paper Weaving Cards

Beginner Paper Weaving  glued on a Whisper White layer, accented with a matching color layer, on a Whisper White card base.  Use any punch and birthday greeting you have.

Compare the look between a colored card base on the left and a Whisper White one on the right. Also notice the difference a Basic Black v.s. Whisper White layer to glue the strips on can give.

On these three cards I experimented with a variety of embossing folders. I love the look they give. It is a little tricky due to the fact you have multiple layers of paper going through the Big Shot inside the embossing folder, so you may have to adjust the makeup of your platform and plates.

Double Wonder Cards to Make & Share

Do you ever run out of cards to have on hand for that quick need or surprise occasion? The Double Wonder template solves that problem quickly and easily by using what you already have in your stash. The template (below) allows you to make 11 cards quickly. You can stamp your choice of sentiment with whatever stamp you have in your collection. Then embellish however you'd like. You don't have to run to the store and spend big bucks when you can whip up a card with a little love added in.

The cards above use the new Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper which coordinates so great with Just Jade, Pear Pizazz, Garden Green, and Shaded Spruce cardstocks. The labels come from Stitched So Sweetly Dies and Tasteful Labels Dies. The Whisper White ribbon and Shaded Spruce ribbon are retired. The Just Jade 1/4" ribbon is current. The rhinestone bling is also retired.

The cards above used retired Designer Series Paper called Lily Impressions from the spring's Sale-a-Bration offering.  Cardstock used was Pool Party, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody, and Petal Pink. The die cut tags are from the same sets mentioned in the top photo.

Special Thanks to Shannon West of the Stampin' Up! Home Office for creating this Double Wonder layout. It was modified by another Stampin' Up! Demonstrator LeeAnn Greff. I appreciate their sharing of this layout.

Have fun being creative!

Original Father's Day Card

Every year since becoming a demonstrator I make my husband's Father's Day card. Here is this years creation. Maybe you can use it as inspiration for a masculine birthday card? The majority of the products are retired, but the new Jar Punch and Mason Jar Shaker Domes were fun to fill with all the loose screws we had in our junk drawer. 

Here's a hint: I glued the entire piece of polka dot paper to a Whisper White piece the same size (4" x 5-1/4"), then I needed to cut across the double layer just below where the woodgrain paper was going, so I could punch out the jar shape easily.  Be sure to take into consideration the margin needed for the adhesive edges of the Mason Jar Shaker Dome prior to punching the jar out. Then I saved the punched out jar and glued it to a 1/4" larger scrap of Whisper White all around. So when I put the jar punch-out back into position after filling the jar with the collected screws, the adhesive portion of the shaker dome had a secure spot to adhere to. I scotch taped the edges of my extra piece to the back of the whisper white original layer. Then I taped the lower piece of Whisper White I had cut off back in place to be ready for the card base. (By doing this the screws wouldn't fall out when I put the Early Espresso card base in place.)
