What is it Wednesday-Here’s to you March cards

These cards have been created using the March paper pumpkin kit called Here's to You. I had a great time making them.

One of the cards you could make with kit supplies according to the directions.

The second card made with kit supplies.

I made this card after being inspired by the quilt my daughter and I made together.

This card was inspired by Jackie Bolhius and used 1 inch squares.

A simple card

A few more details have been added.

And even more details.

I took one of the pictures and cut it into thirds.

Used stencil and stamp and blends for this card.

Star stencil with ink

Star stencil with white craft ink.

Star stencil with embossing paste.

Cloud stencil with ink.

Sun stencil with inks.

Finally mountain stencil with embossing paste snow.

I hope you  have enjoyed looking at the cards I made with my March paper pumpkin kit.  I can't wait to see the April kit and have more fun creating alternates. I'll be back the last Wednesday of April with my sampples.

Tomorrow is step it up day and the one of the last few cards I will be making with the Ice Cream Corner Suite.

Till then,

Put it together Friday-One inch strip card #5, card idea 53

I just love creating cards with one inch strips.  This week the strips are cut into one inch squares

For this card I used 10 different designs from the In Good Taste designer paper.  And I just had to use another Chicken from the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set as my accent. The Happy Birthday and banner are dies that are a part of the die set that coordinates with the stamp set.

This card was created using parts from the March paper pumpkin kit.  The background is one of the envelopes cut apart.

This card was created using parts from the December Beary Comforting Kit.

My final sample was created using the Butterfly Brilliance Collection.  Notice there is no saying.  Sometimes the card says it all.

Supplies used for these cards.

A refresher of this week's template.

And my version using the Here's to you the paper pumpkin kit.

2. I punched a circle out of the envelope and added a banner for the saying.

3. Added a card stock layer.

Final stepped up card

2. Embossed the card stock layer.

What is it Wednesday-How to use the paper pumpkin stencils

 Have you seen the wonderful stencils that are included in the March paper pumpkin kit called Here's to you.  I have made the same card using each one of the stencils.

Used white craft ink pad.

Used Misty Moonlight ink. 

Using embossing paste

                                               

                                                      First I used several neutral colors for the mountains                                                                                    and then used the embossing paste for the                                                                                                   snow on the mountains.

                                                     Used pool party to make the clouds.

Used Crushed Curry first on the rays of the sun, and then pumpkin pie on the part of the ray next to the sun.
