Bye Bye Ice Cream Bundle Price!

This stamp set and Framelits will be carrying over to the NEW catalog, BUT the Bundle price will go away, so save 10% if you purchase NOW!!  The Paper is On Sale and would make GREAT Scrapbook pages!!!

This stamp Bundle makes me think of Florida, Venice Florida and the Famous Nokomis Groves Store.  This Store is a hidden gem that sells oranges, jellies and all things fruit in Florida during the Tourist Season.  But my favorite thing they sell is Soft Serve Ice Cream in 5 Flavors.  Pineapple, Orange, Lime, Chocolate and Vanilla.  They will combine flavors for you and create a twist.  A must stop if you are near Venice Florida.  I recommend a Orange Vanilla Twist with a Pineapple top!!


SO this card came to my mind after seeing this post on Facebook and these stamps are perfect to show off the different twists!  This is another pattern of paper from Tasty Treats!  Beautiful Ice Cream images and nice Neutrals on the reverse sides of this paper pack!


I cut the Cones from Soft Suede in different patterns, so much to choose from with this Bundle!  The Cones were stamped with Peek-a-boo Peach, Daffodil Delight and Soft Suede on Pear Pizzazz card stock.  I was not to sure about the Lime/Chocolate twist until I tasted it....YUMM!!!

Bye Bye Bundle That's the Tag

The Bundles are going FAST!  So take a look at your Occasions catty and make sure if you want a Bundle get it quick!  Sale prices will be in BOLD!!

The Father's Day Bundle is SOLD OUT!  I am so sad, I have not even made a card with this Bundle!!  I will be featuring it at the May and June Stamp dates so you can use mine!

This week I will be featuring a Bundle everyday.  Some are Retiring totally, some just the Bundles.  Some are cheaper to buy individually.  I will add the prices at the bottom of each Blog.  SO keep that in mind when you shop.  Go for the BEST DEAL!!

This Bundle for me was ALL about the Butterfly cut outs......so I am showing theses 2 ways.

 I started with a Dapper Denim card base and a Very Vanilla 5 1/4 X 4 mat.  I cut out the Oval and the Butterflies at the same time.  Stamped my sentiment and added the Dapper Denim ribbon and Linen Thread and set that aside.

I also cut some Butterflies out of a scrap of Dapper Denim and set aside.  I embossed the Very Vanilla mat with the Fluttering embossing folder and then went a little crazy with the Aqua Painter.  I was counting on the color to run a bit more.  But instead ended up having to water color and it looks a bit muddy close up.  I used Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Marina Mist.  Added a few Daffodil Delight Splotches.

Then I went Wink of Stella CRAZY!!  Below you can see the Butterfly images a bit better.  This really is a stunning card in person.  But next time I will use the Glossy White card stock which should allow the water colors to run and look a more natural.

Tasty Treats Resist Paper


I just received this new Paper last week and finally getting a chance to play.....2 cards so you can see the color difference.  One sponged with Pool Party, the other as is.
Two patterns in this stack are embossed, so you can add color by sponging and the embossed images will resist the ink.   Love the color combos with this paper and this set is so versatile!



See the Shiny embossing in the paper?  I sponged with Pool Party ink to add some color for the Whisper White card base and Doily.  Peek a boo Peach ruched ribbon ties, so nice.  This ribbon is retiring, may be gone.....so get those IN Colors before they retire.  New Ribbons are coming in the New catalog.


I stamped the Ice Cream in Peek a boo Peach and cut out with the Matching Framelits.  Added some tombow and then Sprinkles Embellishments.  SO Cute.  Sentiment is stamped in Early Expresso. 
The Spoon is cut from Silver Foil



On this Card you can again see the Shiny embossed Ice Cream treats.  I did not sponge any color and used a Peek a boo Peach card base.  Sentiments in Early Expresso and some sprinkles.  Another 1/2 Doily with an Ice Cream Cone popped up.

April Paper Pumpkin

My kits finally arrived and went together so quick!  And what beautiful cards, 12 CARDS with matching lined envelopes!!  What a GREAT Value and a set of 4 Watercolor pencils as a Special gift!!  I am not sure the refill kits will include the Watercolor Pencils.  The Full Kits and or Refills should be available in the next few days, BUT you must be a Paper Pumpkin Member to purchase......you may want to consider joining if you like this kit.


This Stamp set has Handwritten words and then great choices for many occasions.  This simple watercolor wash card uses the traditional water color paper.  Color with the pencils and then blend with the brush and water.  Love this striped envelope paper!


This next card uses an Emboss Resist Heart on more Water color paper.  You could do this same technique by embossing with Clear embossing powder in Water color paper.  The Embossing will resist your coloring.  When you add water and Blend the embossed area will still resist the color and standout!

These Glitter Flowers in this kit are SO SPARKLY!!!  And another beautiful envelope liner.


This is my favorite of the 3 cards.  The new In Color Lemon Lime Twist really shows up in the Envelope liner.  And if you watched Sara's video I posted last week you can see how she arranged the stamps and then pressed the block to the stamps to keep them all in perfect order!!

And here is a close up showing how the colors blend together in this pattern.  The Washi tape and love the random dots stamps.  A little grunge is always a nice back ground detail!


SO if you want to join and purchase past kits, join up today!  You must join by May 10th to receive the May kit.  Refill and Full kits for the current month go on sale about the 20th of the month.  Use the Paper Pumpkin link at the right.  Or you can purchase subscriptions in my store.  Let me know if you have any questions.
