I love the new stamp set, Bottled Happiness. And I love that it coordinates with a punch. I shared a fun Message in a Bottle card on May 25th. But the z-fold cards I’m sharing today were actually the first cards I created with this bundle.
I used the Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper for the black and white borders. And I chose the other colors in these cards because of the colors of the embellishments (the Glossy Dots Assortment).
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements per card…
Basic White Thick Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2”
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
2-3/4″ x 5-3/8″
Scraps for stamping and punching bottle and bottle label
Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper
Two strips that are 3/4” x 5-3/8”
Two strips that are 5/8” x 5-3/8”
Colored Cardstock (Pool Party or Daffodil Delight)
2-5/8″ x 5-3/8″
Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon
6″
Directions
Fold the white card base to make a zig-zag look. Then add the 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ layer onto the folded front section of the base piece. (This photo below hopefully helps.)
Add the thinner designer paper strips to the tops of the 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ sections. Add the thicker to the bottom sections.
Stamp “Overflowing with Happiness” on the colored cardstock. And add that to the inside.
Stamp the floral images (leaves and flowers) slightly off center on the white 2-3/4″ x 5-3/8″ layer. Add that to the front of the card with Dimensionals.
Stamp the bottle image onto a white scrap and punch out. I stamped off onto scrap paper first to lighten the ink (Pool Party or Daffodil Delight) a bit. Stamp the “sending cheer” sentiment onto a white scrap and punch out. Then trim above and below to create a label. Add it to the bottle. Then add the bottle to the card with Dimensionals.
Embellish the front of the card with the Glossy Dots and with the ribbon tied in a bow near the base of the flowers.
Here is the way the cards look closed.
And here is what they look like opened. I love that z-fold cards allow you to see the front even from an opened position.

Welcome to our PPX monthly blog hop! Today I have my blog post linked to posts from those in my Paper Pumpkin Exclusives Video Crew so we could all share a few more projects that we put together with some of our leftovers from the May 2022Celebrating In Color kit. See what I have to share. Thenscroll down and click on the names of other hop participants to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas with this Paper Pumpkin kit. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
I put together Independence Day (4th of July) scrapbook pages! These new 2022-24 In Colors (contained in this kit) are perfect for a red, white, and blue themed project. And since my family loves to celebrate this holiday up at the cabin every summer, I’m now ready to record this year’s festivities by just adding in photos and journaling to this 12×12 spread.
Extra products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Basic Black Cardstock
Two pieces of 12×12 Cardstock (Yep! It’s coming back!! You’ll be able to purchase this again starting July 1, 2022.)
Plain white card base pieces from the kit
Four that are 4-1/8″ x 5-1/2″
Two that are 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
5-1/2″ x 5-3/4″
Banner printed white card base from the kit
5-1/2″ x 5-3/4″
Envelopes from the kit (all but the Parakeet Party green)
Four that are 4-3/4″ x 5-1/8″
Sweet Sorbet red “you” card layer from the kit
Punch a bunch of stars from this
Tips…
Use the H from HAPPY, the T and H in BEST WISHES, and another HAPPY for the HAPPY 4TH title.
To turn the H into 4, cut as shown. No need to use “white out” like I originally thought I needed to do. Instead just transfer the small piece from the bottom of the H to the middle to finish off the gold line.
I initially added the envelope paper like this, but then I trimmed them down to 4-3/4″ x 5-1/8″ (just under the envelope glue) and embossed them (with the speckle stamp and gold emboss powder) before attaching.
I used two of the plain white card bases to make the four largest white photo mats. I used the section cut from the foil printed card base to get the smaller square photo mats. And I used a portion of the white card base with a curved edge for the 5-1/2″ x 5-3/4″ photo mat on the right. Remember to emboss the speckles before adding the layers to the pages.
Add the Tahitian Tide blue banner with Seal adhesive along the back of the top and Dimensionals along the back of the bottom. Color the insides of the letters with Starry Sky Blends markers and add with Dimensionals to the Tahitian Tide blue banner.
Punch out a bunch of stars from the Sweet Sorbet red “you” card layer. And add them here and there with the Festive Pearls and embellishments from the kit.
Looking for more ideas? Be sure to check out my other fun alternate projects that I shared May 23rd and May 26th. I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.

On May 21st I mentioned that I would make a more masculine version of that day’s card. And today I am sharing it. This one (the graduation card on the left) also features the Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper and would be suitable to give to a male or female graduate.
Because it is black and white, it’s easy to customize this Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper and personalize the card to match a graduate’s school colors. Simply change out the background ink and sentiment strip cardstock.
To find the details on the floral card above, click here. For details on the graduation card, read below.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
5/8″ x 4″
Scrap for die-cutting 2″ x 2″ mortarboard hat
Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper
4” x 4”
Basic White Cardstock
4” x 5-1/4” (for the inside)
Crushed Curry Cardstock
1/2″ x 4″
Gold Foil
3/4″ x 4″
1/4″ x 1-1/4″
Elegant Trim
3″
Copy Paper
1-1/4″ x 1-3/4″
Directions
Use a Blending Brush to add color across parts of the designer paper. Add to the front of the card base.
Stamp an inside sentiment on the white cardstock and the outside sentiment on the Crushed Curry strip. Add the white to the inside of the card.
Add the Crushed Curry to the black strip, then to the gold foil strip, and then to the front of the card base..
Die-cut the mortarboard hat. Use a pencil and ruler on the underside to mark the middle. Use the piercing end of the Take Your Pick Tool to poke a small hole in the middle. Then from the top side, poke through a bit more to make a larger hole. Insert one end of the gold trim. Insert the prongs of the brad. Then secure the brad so the open prongs hold tight to the trim end. Fringe the other end of the trim.
Use a Bone Folder to curl the copy paper. Using a bit of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the inside, roll the paper into a diploma. Use a Bone Folder to curl the gold foil strip. Keep curling until the foil layer starts to separate from the underside.
Then peel the layers apart. Add Tear & Tape Adhesive to the back of the foil and wrap around the diploma.
Add the mortarboard hat with Dimensionals and the diploma with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I get asked a lot what I do with all my cards I make. I find a purpose for almost all of them. This card I shared today?…It’s going neighbor a few houses down. Congrats Brendan!!

MY FAVORITE EXTRAS I’ve added a new section to my website titled My Favorite Extras. This is where you can find direct links to other products (from Amazon, Stamp-n-Storage, The Country Hive, etc.) that I love, use, and share about.
Today’s card features a sheet of the Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper cut into 4″ x 4″ squares. You can get nine from one sheet. And as you can see you won’t waste any of it. In fact I still have three more pieces to make three more cards. I love making the most of my designer paper.
Oh wait! The cards are hard to see when they are squished together like that. This second photo shows the full cards a little bit better. The two in the upper right are still overlapping though. Hahaha…Yep, I put one of the papers on in the opposite direction than the others, but it still works with this pattern.
This was a very easy card to make. And after I made several as congrats cards for some of my team members, I realized how awesome this design would be if you had graduation parties or weddings coming up to attend, because you could customize the accent colors to match school colors or wedding decor. Simply change out the flower ink, sentiment strip cardstock, ribbon, and embellishments. The black and white designer paper (which includes lots of patterns as you can see)…
…the black and white (inside) cardstock, and the vellum can all stay since they are neutral. So of course now I’m tempted to see if I can make a masculine version of this card since we have a few graduation parties to attend soon.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
5/8″ x 4″
Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper
4” x 4”
Basic White Cardstock
4” x 5-1/4” (for the inside)
Pool Party Cardstock
1/2″ x 4″
Vellum Cardstock
Scraps for punching leaves
Pool Party Sheer Ribbon
7-8″
Directions
After cutting and punching all the pieces listed in the measurements, stamp an inside sentiment (I stamped “Wishing You Everything Wonderful” but forgot to photo the inside for you.) on the white cardstock and the outside sentiment on the Pool Party strip.
Use a dauber to color a few of the flowers. Start at the center and use a circular motion outward to get that gradual dark to light look.
Add the sentiment strip to the black strip. Then add this layered piece to the designer paper where it works best with the design. Trim off any excess if needed.
Put Seal Adhesive on the back bottom of the designer paper. Add the leaves where they look best. Use the card base as a guide so the leaves stay within the card edges. Then add more adhesive and attach to the front of the card base so you see an eighth inch border on the top and sides.
Add the inside layer so you see an eighth inch border on the top, bottom, and sides.
Tie the bow and add it with a Glue Dot.
Color the Rhinestones and Iridescent Pearls with Blends Markers. And add to the card where they look best. (I recommend the Balmy Blue Blends for the blue since the Pool Party Blends color was hard to see on the rhinestones.)
I hope these inspired your creativity a bit. Thanks for visiting!

MY FAVORITE EXTRAS I’ve added a new section to my website titled My Favorite Extras. This is where you can find direct links to other products (from Amazon, Stamp-n-Storage, The Country Hive, etc.) that I love, use, and share about.
Summer is approaching and we are experiencing comfortable outdoor weather here in Minnesota. So I had the urge to pull out my Hey Sports Fan Designer Paper and Resin Stars and challenge myself to see if I could create a card using only those two products and some base cardstock. I don’t own the coordinating stamp set or dies from that suite. Here is what I came up with.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Poppy Parade Cardstock
5-1/2” x 12″ scored parallel to short side at 2-1/2”, 6-3/4″ and 9-3/8″
Hey Sports Fan Designer Paper (starburst design)
5-1/4” x 11-3/8”
Hey Sports Fan Designer Paper (blue wood design)
2-1/4” x 5-1/4”
Hey Sports Fan Designer Paper (tickets, flags, and pennants)
a few of these images cut with scissors or with the help of the Sports Events Dies
Directions…
Cut the starburst designer paper into 4 sections: Start from the left side and cut 2-5/16″ in. Then with what is remaining cut 4-1/8″ and again at 2-1/2.” This should leave you with your 4th piece 2-7/16″ wide. Fold the card base as shown in the photos. And add these pieces in order to these panels.
Fold the card shut and add the blue wood design layer.
Color a few rhinestones with the Blends markers.
Add the cut out the tickets, flags, and pennants.
Embellish with the stars and rhinestones.
Enjoy your weekend!
