A Beautiful Bouquet

How about this for a wedding card:

Beautiful Bouquet is still one of my go-to sets for weddings, anniversaries and birthdays, even though it's been around for awhile. So when I was doing a favor for a newly married couple, who happen to be brand new neighbors of ours, I pulled out this set to leave them a card in their new home.

I love all the white space - it really makes the flowers pop!

I embossed a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock with the Subtle embossing folder, then cut a window using the Frosted Frames dies. This piece was then popped up on the Thick Whisper White card base with Dimensionals (after I stamped the sentiment with Shaded Spruce ink).

The flowers were stamped and cut with the coordinating Bouquet Bunch dies, and my card was just about complete. I just added a few pearls and it was ready for this young couple.

Have you recently used an older (but wonderful) stamp set? Don't forget what you have...it might just make the perfect card!

Dino Days

How stinkin' cute is this?

I originally bought this stamp set so I could make cards for my 3-year old grandson. Declan is a total dinosaur fanatic (what 3-year old isn't?). When we went to the zoo the other day, he pretended to be a dinosaur, and roared his way around the exhibits.

But this was also just what I needed to send to a struggling friend.

The card base is Mango Melody, with a layer of the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper. A Stitched Rectangle frame, also of Mango Melody, was embossed with the Layered Leaves 3D embossing folder.

Thank goodness for the coordinating Dino Dies! My Pretty Peacock Dino and the palm trees were stamped and cut with ease.

A few blades of grass (Lakeside dies) and a sentiment finished my card.

Dinoroar DSP is currently on sale with the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE promotion. Good til September 30th; don't miss out!

Thanks to New Customers

I had some new customers sign up for Paper Pumpkin the other day, and wanted to thank them for subscribing. And I wanted to use some of my new products, so it was fun to put a few unrelated items together.

Now you probably don't have to send thank you cards to someone who has subscribed to something but this card is perfect for many occasions. Just switch out the words for another phrase, and voila! You've got a beautiful card!

I made this one using Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green. There is a layer of Blueberry Bushel that is embossed with the Subtle embossing folder, and then the gorgeous frame from the Frosted Frame dies was cut with the Granny Apple Green.

I also brought out an oldie but goodie - the Seasonal Layers dies made these fabulous leaves, which I cut using the Noble Peacock foil. So pretty! And they are tied off with a little bow of Braided Linen Trim.

I experimented with a few other color combinations:

Which is your favorite?
