Have you seen the new 2022-24 In Color collection? The colors are are so pretty! And this month’s Paper Pumpkin, the May 2022 Celebrating In Color kit shows them off so beautifully!
This kit contained the supplies shown below to make ten stunning cards – 2 of 5 different designs.
I LOVE the kit card designs. But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show Paper Pumpkin kit subscribers other ways to use those supplies. I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So today I’m sharing with you…

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!

Father’s Day is about a month away, so I created a couple cards with the new Rugged Icons Dies. These cards are unique in that they hold shut by tucking the corner. You may have seen Corner Tuck Fold cards before, but I wanted my pockets for tucking to not be so obvious when the cards are in the open position. So I camouflaged them.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these Father’s Day cards. 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.

Stampin’ Up!’s new Delicate Details Boxes are so beautiful! The fronts have a lacy floral laser-cut design, so there is really no need to do much more to “fancy” them up. But if your crafty heart desires, you can add ink, embellishments, layers, etc. Below is the first one I’ve decorated so far.
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
Scrap for die-cutting 1-1/4″ diameter sentiment circle
Blushing Bride Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting sentiment banner layer
White Glittered Organdy Ribbon
14-15″
Directions
Keep the box unassembled and flat. Add Flirty Flamingo ink to the laser-cut section with a Blending Brush.
Stamp the sentiment image onto the white circle with VersaMark Ink. Add Gold Emboss Powder (from the Metallics Collection). Tap off excess. Then heat emboss.
Add the pink banner with tiny drops of Fine Tip Glue just where it’s needed. Fold the side flap of the box back and trim the excess from the banner off. OR…trim the banner BEFORE adding it to the box. Either way works. Just be sure the top and bottom edges of the banner are parallel to the base edge of the box.
Add the sentiment circle with a Dimensional.
Then with tiny droplets of Fine Tip Glue embellish with the pink For Everything Fancy Sequins.
Once dry, assemble the box and add the ribbon.
I have other decorative ideas in mind for these boxes, so be sure you are subscribed to my posts so you don’t miss out.
