I recently received this beautiful card from my friend Cheryl Lee. She made it with several products from the Forever Greenery Suite and the “thank you” image from the Magnolia Blooms Stamp Set (a retired stamp set).
I loved the look and the layout so much that I recreated it and made a couple navy and white versions by substituting in a few products from the Boho Indigo Medley. This is the first one. And below the directions is the second one. I’d love to know which one appeals to you more. I made the one with the gray circle first. But after making the second one with the white circle, I think that one is my favorite.
Here are the details if you wish to make one (or both) of these.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Night of Navy Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ scored parallel to short end at 4-1/4″
Scraps for die-cutting a couple branch pieces
Misty Moonlight Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting a branch piece
Boho Indigo Designer Paper
1-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
Whisper White Cardstock
2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″
Outer cardstock layer (Smoky Slate or Whisper White Cardstock)
3″ x 5-1/2″
Circular piece (Smoky Slate or Whisper White Cardstock)
Scrap for die-cutting 2-3/8″ diameter Stitched Shapes circle
Forever Trim (Gold Metallic Trim)
6″
Directions…
Emboss the outer cardstock layer with the Greenery Embossing Folder. Then die-cut the branch pieces with the dies in the Boho Indigo Medley and the stitched circular sentiment piece.
Stamp the sentiment on the circular piece. Then adhere the Gold Hoop with Fine Tip Glue. Set aside to dry.
Stamp the inside image on the 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ Whisper White piece. (I first stamped on scrap paper and then onto the cardstock. This way I got a lighter shade of blue.)
Attach the rectangular layers to the Night of Navy card base.
After the Fine Tip Glue is dry, flip the sentiment circle over and add a bit of Seal Adhesive behind that upper left area. Add a leaf piece from the Forever Gold Laser Cut Paper and the two blue die-cut branch pieces. Then place quite a few Dimensionals across the back of the left portion of that circle securing those embellishments and attaching this focal point to the front of the card.
Use Glue Dots to add the horizonal navy branch and the gold bow.
Embellish with Gold Glitter Enamel Dots or the flowers from the medley.
Thanks for visiting! Tomorrow I’ll be sharing lots of other cards I’ve been give recently.

MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS We are looking for more to join our online Paper Crafters club. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of 6 consecutive months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
Do you need a few more alternate project ideas for the August 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit? The ones I am sharing today were five more samples I sent to Stampin’ Up!® for their latest Facebook Live that aired on September 1st. I had also sent them the blue cake card I featured here on my blog on August 23rd and the accordion display gift album I showed off and blogged about on August 27th. I recommend watching that live to see not only the ideas I submitted, but a whole bunch of other fun alternates shared by my peers.
These first two are sweet & simple-to-make Matchbook RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) Notecards…mini cards that you can leave for someone when you want to thank them, tip them, or just brighten their day to let them know how special they are.
They close like a matchbook and open to reveal either a sweet handwritten message, cash, or BOTH.
Tips for making the blue one:
Cut a blue card base from kit in half to get two 2-3/4″ x 8-1/2″ pieces. Trim 1″ off one end, and score in 5/8″ from the other end.
Fold on the two score lines. Staple the bottom narrow 5/8″ section over and down placing that staple in the center of that section. This will allow you to tuck in a folded dollar bill and then fold and tuck the top flap over to close.
Then decorate the top with pieces from the kit.
Tips for making the green one:
Cut a green card base from kit in quarters to get four 2-1/8″ x 5-1/2″ pieces. Score at 5/8″ and again at 3-1/4″.
Fold on the two score lines. Staple the bottom narrow 5/8″ section over and down placing that staple in the center of that section. It’s a smaller notecard, but you can still tuck in a double-folded dollar bill if you wish. Then fold and tuck the top flap over to close.
Stamp the inside using the masking technique: Stamp the circular image on scrap paper. Fussy-cut around it to create the “mask.” Stamp the image towards the top of the open flap. Cover the stamp image up with the “mask.” Then stamp two more times just to the lower left and lower right of that first circle. Remove the mask to reveal a layered look.
Close then decorate the top with pieces from the kit.
Money isn’t necessary. These matchbook-style RAK cards can simply contain a hand-written message. But aren’t they a cute and unique way to brighten someone’s day?
This next one is a Flap Fold Card. I applied the fun fold I’ve been sharing lately (on 8/19/20, 8/20/20, and 9/5/20) to make this celebratory “You deserve a medal” card.
Measurements:
Whisper White Cardstock
5-1/2” x 11” scored parallel to the short end at 5-1/2” then scored again at 1-3/4” from one end and 1-1/4” from the other end
1-1/4″ x 10″
Green card base from the kit
3-1/2” x 5-1/2”
1” x 5-1/2”
1” x 5-1/2”
Blue card base from the kit
3-1/2” x 5-1/2”
1-1/2” x 5-1/2”
Ribbon from the kit
12″
Copper Foil Sheet
Scrap for die-cutting small scallop circle
Silver Foil Sheet
Scrap for die-cutting small scallop circle
Directions/Tips:
Click here to see the flap fold cards I shared on August 19th (and to watch the how-to video and tips for preparing the card base and adding the patterned paper).
Stamp three “hanging medal ribbon” images on the inside: Stamp one 1/8″ from the left and another 1/8″ from the right. Then stamp the third one centered between the first two. I recommend stamping at varying lengths. And to get the light blue color, first stamp the Pacific Point image onto scrap paper. Then without re-inking stamp it onto the card.
Die-cut and add the copper and silver scallop circles. Then add the gold scallop circle (from the kit) with Dimensionals after stamping and embossing it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
Add the stars with Fine Tip Glue and allow to dry.
Close the card and wrap the Whisper White belly band so the seam is in the back. Use Tear & Tape to secure. Trim a “V” into one end of the ribbon. Wrap and add to the belly bandy with Tear & Tape.
Use elements from the kit to create the focal point for the band. When attaching to the belly band, add the largest blue circle so it is centered underneath the band.
Then add the layering pieces on top. I recommend the Tear & Tape Adhesive for the parts that are directly connected to the belly band.
These last two ideas are slight variations of two fun fold cards I already shared on August 23rd. The first is a Slider Window Card. And the second is a Pop-Open Cube Card. Click on this link to see those original cards I shared and to watch the how-to video that demonstrates how to put them together.
I hope you enjoyed what I had to share. And for those of you who still have elements of your August kit, I hope I inspired you to dive in again and use up more of your pieces.
The kit itself is no longer available. You pretty much need to be a subscriber to get these fun kits each month. But if you are interested in purchasing any of the extra products I used, see below for a complete list of those extra items. They are even linked to where you can find them in my online store.

And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
Once I start creating with a suite of products (or a certain fold), I have a hard time putting it aside. Today’s cards are more flap fold cards like the ones I shared on August 19th and August 20th. But they are made with the designer papers, stamps and ribbons from the Playing with Patterns Suite – the suite that is featured in the latest All Star Tutorial (that you can earn this month or purchase), that I used to make my Halloween treat containers in the All Star blog hop in my September 3rd post, and that Tricia Josephs created with in her Showcase Stamper projects that I shared on August 2nd.
Below are my Playing with Patterns flap fold birthday cards – a little different than the other two flap folds I’ve shared in that these are positioned in landscape format.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
This first one is my favorite because I LOVE the Coastal Cabana blue color & the ribbon in this combo pack is stunning!
Measurements…
Coastal Cabana Cardstock
5-1/2” x 11” scored parallel to the short end at 5-1/2” then scored again at 1-3/4” from one end and 1-1/4” from the other end
Playing With Patterns Designer Paper (thicker stripes)
3-1/2” x 5-1/2”
1” x 5-1/2”

Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack (Coastal Cabana)
About 19”
Two pieces that are each 2″
Directions:
Click here to see the flap fold cards I shared on August 19th (and to watch the how-to video and tips for preparing the card base and adding the designer paper).
Stamp and punch the sentiment circle piece. Stamp the 4″ x 5-1/2″ Whisper White piece.
Attach the 2″ ribbon pieces to the 4″ x 5-1/2″ Whisper White piece (coming out from behind the upper right corner), and attach to the inside of the card.
Trim the ribbon ends and add the Resin Dots.
Add the circle sentiment piece so it is positioned under the flaps as shown when the card is closed.
Then tie on the larger piece of ribbon and present to someone on their special day.
Here is the Purple Posy/Night of Navy version…my second favorite.
Measurements…
Night of Navy Cardstock
5-1/2” x 11” scored parallel to the short end at 5-1/2” then scored again at 1-3/4” from one end and 1-1/4” from the other end

Whisper White Cardstock

Scrap for stamping and punching 2-1/4″ Circle
Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack (Purple Posy)

OH! Here is what the flip side of the open card looks like. Notice that I stamped the fun sparkle image at the top of the circle sentiment piece. You don’t see this when the card is closed. Sorry I forgot to mention that above.
And here is the Calypso Coral version. I did the ribbon a bit differently on this one because I wanted to use the thin Night of Navy Ribbon in that combo pack, but it was to flimsy to tie the card shut on its own. I’m not sure I’m a fan of how I used it. But oh well. What do you think?
Measurements…
Calypso Coral Cardstock

…and sponged some color on one of the black and white floral prints. And I made another non-Halloween card with it.
I needed a card to congratulate a couple demonstrators who just promoted last month. And this Whiskey Business Stamp Set was calling to me. (Maybe it’s because I haven’t watched Outlander for awhile, and I’m missing the show? Hahaha)
Here are details if you wish to recreate this card yourself.
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
5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short end at 4-1/4″
Whisper White Cardstock
2-3/4″ x 3″
Pretty Peacock Cardstock
2-7/8″ x 3-1/8″
Granny Apple Green Cardstock
1/2″ x 4-1/4″
3″ x 4-1/4″
Magic In This Night Designer Paper
4″ x 4″
Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon
3-1/2″
Directions:
Punch the left end of the Granny Apple Green strip. (Turn the punch upside-down to make sure the cardstock is in straight.)
Stamp all images – on the Whisper White piece and the Granny Apple Green pieces using the Tuxedo Black ink.
Trim the right end of the Granny Apple Green strip. Attach to the ribbon (using Seal) so it angles out and down. Trim the end of the ribbon.
While closed squeeze the Cinnamon Cider and the Crushed Curry ink pads to transfer a little ink from the pads onto the lids. Open the pads and use a Blender Pen dipped in these ink puddles to color in the whiskey. (Color on the Blender Pen fades the longer you color with them. So because I wanted my darkest colors on the outside edges and my lightest in the middle.I started with the Crushed Curry color adding color from the upper left to the middle and the again from the lower right to the middle. Then I accented with the Cinnamon Cider by just coloring a little bit on those outside edges. This gave the whiskey a more golden color.)
Layer the Whisper White onto the Pretty Peacock piece.
Sponge Crushed Curry and Granny Apple Green ink here and there onto the designer paper.
Attach the designer paper onto the right portion of the card front with Seal Adhesive. Attach the layered whiskey image piece to the left side of the card front using Dimensionals. Attach the sentiment banner with a Dimensional under the left end and a Glue Dot under the middle. Attach the inside Granny Apple Green layer with Seal.
Then embellish with the gems.

After creating the fun place setting and party décor projects that I shared on Thursday during the Paper Pumpkin blog hop, I decided that I needed a scrapbook page layout that will hold memories from that celebration that my family will have after our new campfire patio gets installed this month.
I had a few extra jar pieces that I hadn’t used yet. And my favorite elements in this last kit were the adorable fire flies. So I made those the main elements of my page layout, paired them up with the Playful Alphabet Dies and Artistry Blooms Designer Paper, and came up with this layout that I love. Here are the details…
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…
Artistry Blooms Designer Paper (the ombre blue design)
Two sheets of 12×12
Night of Navy Cardstock
Six pieces that are 4-1/8” x 5-1/2″
Four pieces that are 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
I began creating my pages by placing my jars and bugs where I wanted them and then filled in with my photo mats and stars. Once I knew where I wanted everything to be, I began cutting and attaching my photo mats.
Directions…
Attach photo mats as shown above.
Create the title…Position the letters for your title to figure out how much room they are going to take up. Measure that area being sure to leave a little wiggle room. Cut out that much Foam Adhesive and attach it under the post card piece from the kit.
Once the Foam Adhesive is attached, die-cut all your letters for your title.
Vellum reveals adhesive. So attach the letters across the jars first. Add any bugs that will be on the outsides of the jars, too.
Then flip the jars over and place Glue Dots under the letters and bugs so the adhesive is hidden.
Adhere the jars down in place. And add the remainder of the letters, the rest of the bugs, and the stars.
If you need more alternate project ideas using this kit, be sure to check out my posts on July 21 and August 6.
