Introducing this month’s April 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit: Sentimental Rose! It includes supplies to put together 9 stunning note cards (3 of 3 kinds) and a gift box. Aren’t those cards gorgeous?! The image stamps of the flower and leaves are Distinktive®. This is a term Stampin’ Up! puts on their stamps that have a special texture that create added depth and dimension in single step image.

I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards and other project ideas to inspire others. And…Woo hoo! I hurried up and got these alternate projects done quickly this month! I added the extra supplies in the product list below to the above kit supplies to create my alternate projects that I’m sharing with you today:

• two eclipse cards
• three floating frame cards
• and two boxes from the supplies of one

Watch my video first to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog). Then scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned at the beginning of my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations.

Here are photos of the cards the kit instructs how to make.

And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch the video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

TWO ECLIPSE CARDS

Super simple and fun to make with patterned papers!

THREE “FLOATING FRAME” CARDS

Glad® Press ‘n Seal is a must have for making these. I oohed and ahhed a lot in the video because I was so amazed at how beautiful these turned out.

TWO BOXES FROM ONE 

I split all the box supplies in half to create these two containers! Fun, huh?

I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS

Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. But there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.
