Paperpumkin Project...

When I signed up to be a demonstrator they sent me a Paper Pumpkin. This is awesome if you do not want to have to do it all yourself. This is a monthly package that comes in the mail right to you with everything that you need. The stamps, ink, paper and instructions are all included in the package. They change every month. This was so fun to make and I think they turned out so good. For some of the cards I used a stamp set that did not come with the package and colored them in, that stamp set was I like you. If this is something that you like be sure to check out my Stampin' up page to get more information or order :)

Classic Car Card......

This was used as a birthday card. The stamp was a part of the  photopolymer ones that I got at Michael's. The card is standard size and is a cream colored paper. The large matte was a brownish paper and is 5 1/4" x 4. Then I used scrapping paper for the small squares which are 2 1/4" x 1 3/4". They are just on top of the brown matte. Then the brown matte behind the car is 3" x 2 1/4". Then the car is stamped in a 2 3/4" x 2" cream colored paper. This has been my favorite card that I have made yet.

Elk Card.....

This was a birthday card. It is a standard size card. The color was also a cream colored card stock. The dark matte is a brownish card stock and is 3" x 3 1/4", the elk is on the same cream colored paper as the card and is a matte of 3" x 2 3/4". Then the back ribbon is a piece of scrapping paper and it is 5 1/2" x 2 1/4". Since I do not have a punch yet I just cut the triangles out by hand.

Classic Truck Card....

This was used for a birthday card. This card is the standard size with a matte of 5 /14" x 4". I used a cream colored card stock and then used scrapping wood grain paper as the matte. The stamps are from Michael's. The came is a set of photopolymer. I just stamped the truck and saying on the same cream colored paper that I used for the card and then just hand cut them out. I used a ribbon and paper ribbon for the bow secured with glue dots. I learned after I did it, that it is not a good idea to do a glue dot on a bow when you do not put something over it so if you do something like this try a different adhesive for the bow :)

My First Birthday Card and Wedding Card....

The birthday card I made for one of my Aunts that loves butterfly's. I did use a Stampin' up set but the paper and ink was not. I used the stamp sets Simple Stripes and Flight of the Butterfly. It is a standard size card with matte of 5 1/4" x 4" and I used a 2 1/4" flower punch and a 1 1/4" punch for the design behind the butterflies. I actually hand cut and folded the flowers then attached with dimensionals The inside is a matte of 5 1/4" x 4 also.

This wedding card was made for one of my cousins. It is a standard size card also. I used the stamp set To Have & To Hold. I used one of the stamps and just stamped the whole front of the card with it then I did 3 different size mattes and then colored in the Groom and flowers. I also used a stamp to make the to have and to hold and hand cut that out. The inside is the 5 1/4" x 4" matte.

First Card I made....

This is the first card that I made. It is the standard size card and I got the materials from Michael's and Hobby Lobby. The card is the standard size. The matte is 5 1/4" x 4". Then the yellow squares are 2" x 1 3/4". On the pumpkin square I actually stamped that on a white piece than cut out and use a dimensional and then just stamped trick or treat right onto the yellow part. For the other pumpkin I actually embossed that and used the heating gun. Then for the ribbon i cut a piece of chevron ribbon in half and it is 5 1/4" long and used glue dots to put on. Then I used another little piece of the chevron ribbon to go behind the paper string bow which is all attached with glue dots and then just put a star bead on top. Then the inside is just three different hobby lobby stamps.

 

The cards that started it all!

Well I guess I should post what I made the first time that I did stamping. These cards are what made me make crafting more than a random thing that I have done all my life. I am not going to be able to do it all the time. These cards were made by Lorri Heiling. She has now become someone that I can go to with any questions and she is full of ideas! Here are the cards that we made that night. If you would like the insturctions to make these cards please contact me by email or here and I can get them to you. The snowman card actually holds a gift card. :) My email is ash18lem@gmail.com
