Paper Pumpkin Sweeter With You

 





I did some alternates with the July 2025 Sweeter With You paper Pumpkin kit last week. 
I mostly used the elements in the kit but added a few dies and embellishments not found there. 
1st card- I used the add on dies with the hello die in Fresh Freesia card stock.
2nd card- I used the strawberry card base cut to make the background and added on the green base. I used Poppy Parade ink and Garden Green dots,
3rd card- I used a white an Everyday Arches die, Strawberry Slush ink and dots.
4th card- I used the other piece of the strawberry base cut and added to the green base. I layered a piece of the vellum in kit over. I cut a white circle with the add on dies and popped the images on plus added some Garden green dots. I also used Poppy Parade ink for the sentiment.  
Hope you can do some stamping this long weekend!
Have a beautiful and safe Labor Day weekend and thanks for stopping by!

PP752 Charming Day With Thoughtful Journey

 







I am playing along with Jaydee's sketch challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week with a gate fold card. I did place the label die a little lower than the sketch shows so I did not cover up those gorgeous flowers in the Thoughtful Journey DSP panels on the front. I have a gatefold card using the Petunia Pop card stock cut at 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" and scored on the long side at 2 1/8" on both sides. 
Inside, I added the DSP from the opposite side of the DSP and another white label cut from the Label Me Grateful dies. 
On the Front, I have added the two panels of DSP cut at 2" by 5 3/8" and added the white label cut again from the Label Me Grateful dies and then I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink after I blended some Wild Wheat ink with my blending brush.  I stamped the flowers twice from the Charming Day set in black ink and colored with my Stampin Blends markers in Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Petunia Pop, and Wild Wheat. I cut them with matching dies and added some bling with the Petunia Pop pearls.
Hope you can play along today and thanks for stopping by!

Thinking Of You

 



Using the Splendid Autumn DSP again today because it is gorgeous! I have a Blackberry Bliss base and added the Mossy Meadow card stock and DSP are cut with the Branching Out dies. I then ran dark green thread around with a double bow. (I thought it was Mossy Meadow but looks darker)  I cut the Basic Beige circle with the Spotlight On Nature dies and stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink from the Coffee With Friends stamp set. I added the Blackberry Bliss circle behind cut from the Stylish shaped dies behind and finished with some holographic dots.   
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

A Little Kindness

 



Love how this card turned out and I have to say Secret Sea is the answer to all. I could not find a color I want to add in the strip and bow that looked right until I tried Secret Sea! I have a white base covered with two print of the Splendid Autumn DSP.I added the strip of Secret Sea card stock between. I then cut a Basic Beige die with the Label Me Grateful dies plus I cut leaves in Garden Green and a flower in Fresh Freesia card stocks. I added several Fresh freesia gems to the center of the flower. I stamped the sentiment from the Label Me Grateful set in Secret Sea ink. I finished with a Secret Sea bow. 
Hope you have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Hello With Painterly Pears



I am playing with more of the Painterly Pears suite and using s beautiful print for my background. I have a Old Olive base then another print of the DSP before layering the floral pear print on top. I did run the Mossy Meadow & gold 1/4" ribbon around and add a tie. I then cut the white Branching Out label die and added some Petal Pink ink with my blending brush. I also stamped some splatter with the the Perfectly Pears set in Secret Sea ink. I snipped the pear, flowers and stem out from a print of the Painterly Pears DSP. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in Secret Sea ink and cut with the matching dies. 
Hope you have a sweet day and thanks for stopping by!

Just For You With Painterly Pears

 



Again, this DSP is great! I am using the Painterly Pears DSP for my background and I cut the pink flowers and pears from one print with the matching Perfectly Pears dies. I have a white base and a layer of Darling Duckling card stock ran through with the Plaid embossing folder plus the DSP and a strip of Secret sea card stock. I the added a Branching out label die in white to pop my pears and flowers plus stamp the sentiment from Unbounded Love in Secret Sea ink. I did stamp more flowers in Secret Sea ink and colored with the Darling Duckling and Flirty Flamingo Stampin Blends markers. I cut them with the matching dies and added the Darling Duckling dots and an Old Olive twine bow to finish it off. 
Have a beautiful weekend and thanks for stopping by!
