Two more Paper Pumpkin cards

I saw this card online and decided I had to make it.  Well, it was a bit more work than I anticipated.  I cut the word "you" away from the thank you, and then I separated each letter in "thank" and "congrats."  It took me a total of an hour and a half.  Way too much! I joked that no one rocks enough to deserve that!
I did end up giving the card to my new friend Meg.  We met on splitcoaststampers, and she was kind enough to invite me to hang out with her at the new catalog premiere event Monday night.  Yes, you read that correctly!  I have the new catalog, and it is full of awesome new stuff!  I can order boxes of catalogs on Thursday, and catalogs should mail to my out-of-town customers in mid-May!

Here are 2 more cards from the March Paper Pumpkin kit.  The bottom card is pretty straightforward.  I just added a strip of gold cut from the envelope liner.
Happy stamping!

Open Sea birthday card

I had this scrap of Soho Subway DSP sitting on my craft table, and I just couldn't waste it!  I stamped Off the Grid in Early Espresso onto it.  The cardbase is Sahara Sand.  I stamped the background in Island Indigo with a few spots of Early Espresso added.  Next I stamped the globe in Island Indigo.  I was too lazy to cut it out by hand, so I used a Circle framelit then sponged the edge with Early Espresso.  The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners.  I'm not sure if you can see it in the picture, but I added some paper piercing to the upper right corner
Happy stamping!

March Paper Pumpkin


Here's my take on the March Paper Pumpkin cards.  I got ideas from a couple of other places.  I saw where someone had inked the wood greetings, and I knew I needed to do that!  On Shelli Gardner's blog, she had used the gold envelope liners as a DSP, and I did that as well.  The next thing I want to do is cut apart the letters to make new words.  Such a fun kit!  I can't wait to see what I get in the mail this month!
Happy stamping!
