Alternative Paper Pumpkin Thing...

 

Hey Crafty Friends!
I was invited to create a couple alternative projects for the "A Paper Pumpkin Thing" blog hop using the May kit called Hugs from Shelli. 

This was probably my FAVORITE EVER & I have been a subscriber since day one so that's a lot of kits! 
I'm a sucker for vintage flair & this definitely has it! I have a very over the top type project to share along with a simple card so let's start with the card...

I have been waiting to get my hands on the Free as a Bird stamp set & now I can't put it down!

 
It pairs so beautifully with the Stampin Blends markers.
 QUICK TIP- If you want you image to pop even more carefully color around your image with a light color, like Pool Party, after you fussy cut or die cut an image.

I did have to fussy cut the birdies but I enjoy doing that so it wasn't a big deal.


Ok now on to my next project...

Yeah I kinda love it!!!
 I did use my blends to color the bird nest & another bird from the Free as a Bird stamp set.

Here is a little video if you're interested in seeing how it came together.

Purple Posy Beauty!

Hello Crafty Friends!
Once in awhile I make something that I am just completely in love with & this card was one of those things! 


Oh Purple Posy... be still my heart!!! I can already tell this color is going to be one of my favorites.
I love that sentiment from this months Paper Pumpkin kit!


I even made a quick little video while I was putting this card together.

Well today we are celebrating Gingham!


It seems to be such an incredibly versatile pattern that plays well with just about anything!

Isn't this paper totally amazing?!
