I found leftovers from the cards I created and shared on May 5th…some large pieces of inked up and splattered papers and some stamped and punched cones and scoops of ice cream. So I put together more cards.
I wasn’t going to share them here on my blog, but I’m missing summer and sunshine. The days are getting colder and shorter. Autumn began September 22nd, and we can definitely feel it here in Minnesota lately. So if you are also in need of a warm summer day memory, then I hope these ice cream cards do that for you today.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Basic White Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at4-1/4”
3-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
Scraps for stamping and punching ice cream scoops and cone
White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon
14″-16″
Directions
Use a Blending Brush and add ink to the 3-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ white piece. Use a toothbrush to add water drops. (Watch the video from May 5th so you can see how I did this.) Then mix a drop of ink into the water, and add colored speckles as well. Allow to dry.
Stamp the scoops of ice cream and punch them out. Stamp the cones and punch them out. To get the lighter colors stamp again without reinking.
Tie the ribbon around something small (like a bottle of reinker) and make a bow. Trim the ribbon that is wrapped around that something small on the very back. This will give you two extra strands/legs to your bow. 🙂
Add the 3-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece to the front of your card base using a Dimensional in each corner.
Assemble your cone and add it to the front using Dimensionals. And while doing this tuck under to add the bow.
Lastly add a couple rhinestones to the top scoop of your cone.
I won’t be live on YouTube this coming week since my boys will have off for a short school break starting that day. In the meantime, I’m getting some extra creativity time in my craft room. And I’ll have some fun projects to share soon. My next YouTube live will be October 27th. I invite you to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get notices for when my videos are shared.
Oh! I should probably share a little update on my oldest son, Nick who seems to be moving accomplishing all sorts of things lately. He turned 16 on October 1st and just took (and passed) his driver’s test this past Thursday! So now he can drive himself to school (we have two vehicles and my husband and I both work from home). He can also drive himself to work.
Yes, he has a job, too! He works at a frozen yogurt shop.
And this fall his marching band activities kept him (and us!) busy, too. But what a fantastic experience that was. Their last and biggest competition was held on October 9th at the US Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis: Youth In Music. Nick’s high school placed 3rd out of 12 Class A schools! A the drumline (he’s the bass drummer in the middle in this photo) ranked 1st! But what’s even more amazing is their drumline also had higher scores than several of the much larger schools in Class AA, AAA and AAAA making them one of the top drumlines overall…6th out of 31 schools!!
He’s having a great start to his 10th grade year.

KITS COLLECTION BY STAMPIN’ UP!® Creativity made easy! A line of affordably priced, versatile all-inclusive kits… Click here for more details. Click here to shop.
Are you familiar with Stampin’ Up!’s new kit line: Kits Collection? It’s an offering only available online (not in catalogs) to allow for quick additions of new kits when ready and the possible deletion of sold out kits without the issue of backorders. I have to say that I’m very pleased that popular, sold out kits are being replenished, though. The Notes of Cheer kit was sold out in the US market but is now back!
And the Christmas Whimsy kit did not disappear but instead has been marked as “currently unavailable.” So it should be coming back in the US market as well. Yay!
The kits are all-inclusive and easy DIY projects. You get Stampin’ Up!’s high quality products at affordable prices, too. Great for crafting-on-the-go and for those that don’t have the space, time, and/or budget for a craft room of supplies.
After putting together the adorable cards in the Christmas Whimsy kit from the Kits Collection, I used what was left over and got creative. The negatives (the paper that the elves and other die-cut images were punched from) made great stencils. I just lined up the stencil onto my folded note card, masked that area off with sticky notes, and used a Blending Brush to apply the ink.
I even added in another color ink to change it up a bit AND did a two-tone version for my third card. The leftovers included several gold star stickers and a bit of gold trim. So of course, I had to use those.
Because there were four extra labels, I brought in a bit more from my personal stash (the Painted Christmas Designer Paper, Evening Evergreen Cardstock, and some extra Basic White Cardstock) to make this card.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements for designer paper background card…
Evening Evergreen Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
Painted Christmas Designer Paper
4” x 5-1/4”
Basic White Cardstock
4” x 5-1/4”
I also had other “stencils.” So with the help of more sticky notes and copy paper to mask again…
…this is another card I made. This Basic White card base is not one of the note cards. I cut it myself. It measures 5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”. You can pair this size card up with the Basic White Medium Envelopes.
I used an extra tag shaped label and more designer paper and cardstock (same measurements as above) to make this card. To get the fringed trim, cut a length about 5″ long, pull all the threads apart, then hold them altogether as if they are one again, thread them through, and tie the knot. You get more sparkle when they are fringy like this. OH! And if you noticed in the card above, I used silver trim. I got this from the pack of Simply Elegant Trim (which includes gold and silver).
So don’t throw away those extras. There are always more possibilities if you think outside the box.
My next kit to assemble is the Love, Santa Tag Kit. (I’ve got all my pieces punched out and ready to go.) It’s the newest in the line and also can be paired up with the Love, Santa Treat Bags – purchase together OR separately. Fun, fun, fun!

The Paper Pumpkin kit that is now shipping out to subscribers is going to coordinate with the Peaceful Place Suite of products. I haven’t seen the kit yet, but I’m excited because that suite in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog is beautiful! So today I thought I’d share some simple cards you can make with some of the suite’s designer papers – those that have the larger tree images. With these papers you can make 26 pretty winter cards (a set of thank you’s, thinking of you’s, or Christmas cards) with 6 of the 12 sheets.
I’ve only made a sampling of these cards, but you can see in the images below how you could get that many.
12 cards from the design in this sheet (6 from each of the two sheets)…
8 cards from the design in this sheet (4 from each of the two sheets)…
6 cards from the design in this sheet (3 from each of the two sheets)…
You can also see in the photos that I used either the Red Rhinestone Jewels or the 2021-23 In Color Jewels to embellish the word “FOR” in each sentiment oval piece.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Base Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
Basic Gray or Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/8” x 5-3/8″
Scrap for punch larger oval
Peaceful Place Designer Paper
4” x 5-1/4”
3/4″ x 4″
Basic White Cardstock
4” x 5-1/4”
Scrap for stamping and punching sentiment oval
Smoky Slate 7/8″ Ribbon (optional)
5″
Tips
Use the photos above as guides to where you can get the best cuts from your sheets of designer paper.
The base cardstock color could match the rhinestones (or not). I used Soft Succulent Jewels with Soft Succulent Cardstock and an Evening Evergreen Jewel with Evening Evergreen Cardstock below. But I also used a Red Rhinestone with the Evening Evergreen Cardstock on the bottom right card.
Or you could even pair up some of those In Color Jewels with other cardstock colors that are close but not exact since the jewels themselves really have a multicolor tone to them. The cardstock colors below are Bumblebee, Magenta Madness, Highland Heather, Real Red (with the Red Rhinestone), Shaded Spruce, and Just Jade.
Stamp the sentiments, then turn the punch upside-down and punch.
Add the larger oval to the designer paper strip with Seal Adhesive. Then layer the white oval to the darker larger oval using Dimensionals.
Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today.
If you are one of my Paper Pumpkin subscribers and received the September kit, then I sent a little sampler of papers to you recently. Two of the papers came from this Peaceful Place pack. You can wait and use it with your upcoming October kit. Or feel free to make a card similar to one the ones I shared today instead.

Today is the last day to sign up (or have an active subscription) for Paper Pumpkin so you get in on this next kit titled Peaceful Christmas. Ooo ahhh…right!? (Information on this kit can be found at the bottom of this post.)
So I thought I’d share a few more projects that I put together with some of my leftovers from last month’s Haunts & Harvest kit. And today I have my blog post linked to posts from those in my PPX exclusives video crew. So see what I have to share. Then scroll 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.)
My first two are simple little 3″ x 3″ mini cards made from 3″ x 6″ Basic White cardstock folded in half. (I recommend using 12×12 cardstock if you plan to make several this size so you don’t waste paper.)
This sunshine is composed of leftovers that I cut from boxes in the kit when I made my September 24th scrapbook page. The smile was cut the same way I cut shared with the pumpkins for my page layout using the Snowman Builder Punch. But a 3/4″ or 1″ circle punch would work, too. The whites of the eyes are from the white labels in the kit, and the black parts are from the small Black Matte Dots.
Did you see trees in those “leaf vein” stamps, too! I stamped this one in the Soft Succulent Ink from the kit, added the ground image from the kit stamps in the same ink color that is first stamped off onto scrap paper to lighten it, and then added the sentiment with Tuxedo Black ink.
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.
The next set of projects are things you may want to make to decorate your Thanksgiving Day table. I doubled the boxes in the kit by cutting them in half to make 24 3-sided tower boxes.
The napkin ring is made simply by twisting the wire piece into circular loops on each end, wrapping it around the napkin, and then tying the ends together with ribbon for a colored accent.
The boxes need a bit more explaining, so I took a bunch of photos during the process of me making them.
Cut your box as shown – in half, remove rounded tabs, and delete the base leaving a tab shape in its place.
Cut the loop end off the tab as shown.
Score about 2″ from the base of each tab.
Trim about 3/8″ (1 cm) out from each score line.
Stamp the leaves and sentiments. Connect the loop to the top of the sentiment strip.
Score that cut off box base piece down the middle and fold in half.
Discard the rounded ends that were cut off.
Add the box base piece to the section that doesn’t have its own tab. This will create a tab. Then add glue and connect the sides together using the tabs.
Close up the 3 small tabs on the smaller ends and glue to secure. (The other end will just get folded to close.)
Miter the larger tabs on the wider end, add candy or coins, and fold shut.
Put boxes upright. Add a couple stacked Mini Dimensionals on the back corner and a Glue Dot or two on the front edge. Add a wide leaf or a couple skinner leaves as shown.
Add about 10″ of ribbon and tie a bow.
Then adhere the message/bow with Glue dots.
Looking for more ideas? Be sure to check out my other fun alternate projects that I shared September 24th and September 30th. 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.

And if your subscription is through me, you’ll be able to enjoy exclusive ideas shared in video tutorials from myself and other creative Stampin’ Up! demonstrators on the PPX Crew.

I was in love with this suite the minute I saw it. The colors, the leaves and other images, the gold foil accenting, etc…all of it is so mesmerizing to me. In fact I created a bunch of projects with it and presented this suite during a team and customer event this past July. I’ve already shared most of those creations here on my blog on August 18th, August 25th, August 27th, and September 11th. (This post on September 15th also highlights the beautiful papers in this suite.) But I have two more of the cards to show you.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube step-by-step directions for creating these cards using the Beauty of Tomorrow Stamp Set, the coordinating Beautiful Leaves Dies, and the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
