June 2026 Paper Pumpkin - Bikes & Blooms

Hello Stampers,
It's been a hot minute since I've done any Paper Pumpkins & the boxes are just piling up on my desk. EEK! So I decided to put together the 3 cards from June's kit & made an alternative with the stamp set.

I started this card with a Calypso Coral Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Basic Beige Cardstock that I stamped the flowers from the kit's stamp set using Calypso Coral Ink. Next, I cut out a square with Basic Beige Cardstock stamping the bike with Calypso Coral Ink, then using Blending Brushes to add some Garden Green & Balmy Blue Ink for the sky & grass. I used a sentiment from the Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set stamping it with Calypso Coral Ink, then added the focal image to a Calypso Coral Cardstock layer. I finished the card using the retired Brushed Brass Butterflies.


These are the 3 cards that go with June's kit, the only thing I changed was the background is only 1 sided instead of 2.

Relaxing Waterside - Relax Today Is Your Day

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was made for this week's Creativate pre-challenge that is called a Floating Bridge Card.

I chose to use the Relaxing Waterside bundle, along with the Waterside Retreat DSP. I started with a Very Vanilla Cardstock base, then added the DSP as directed. I used 2 sentiments from the set & stamped them onto the middle section using Gray Granite Ink. Next, I stamped the chair & coffee cup onto Very Vanilla Cardstock using Gray Granite Ink, then used the Pool Party, Gray Granite & Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Pack to color them in, before using the die-cutting them out & placing them carefully on the outer section making sure neither die-cut stuck to the inside of the card.


Here is the back of the card, where you can add your message to the person receiving this card. I added a sentiment to the back using Gray Granite Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, then layered that onto Pool Party Cardstock before gluing to the back of the card.

Wild Bunch - Wishing You Good Things

Hello Stampers,
I made today's card for the newest sketch challenge from The Paper Players #PP792.

I started the card with a Smoky Slate Cardstock base, then added a layer of Beautiful Gallery DSP & a strip of Basic Gray Cardstock. For the focal image, I used the koala from the retired POTM Wild Bunch Stamp Set stamping it onto Basic White Cardstock with Basic Gray Ink, then coloring it in with Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends Combo Pack. For the sentiment, I used the Banner Saying Bundle to stamp onto Smoky Slate Cardstock with Basic Gray Ink & punching it out with the punch. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up both the focal image & the sentiment. Lastly, I added a few retired Classic Matte Dots (Basic Gray) to finish the card.

Boutique Blossoms - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,
Yesterday I came across a FB reel from Lisa Curcio for an old fun fold card & thought I would give it a try. It was really simple to make!

I started with a Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock base cutting it down to size, along with the front layer. I used Basic White Cardstock for the base & stamped layers. I used a sentiment from the Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set, stamping it onto Basic White Cardstock using Crisp Cantaloupe Ink before adding it to the front layer piece. On some scrap pieces of Basic White Cardstock I stamped the big flower & leaves from the Boutique Blossoms Stamp Set using Smoky Slate Ink, then coloring them in with Crisp Cantaloupe & Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Combo Packs before die-cutting them out using the Boutique Blossoms Dies. To assemble, I added the front layers matching them to the bottom of the card then added glue to the top of the those layers & glued the folded base layer over to attach.  The ribbon I used was the retired Iridescent Striped Trim. I then added the leaves to the front layer, before adding the flower which I used Stampin' Dimensionals to have it pop up. I then placed the inside Basic White Cardstock with another sentiment from the Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set to finish assemblying the card. Lastly, I added a few 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies to finish the card.

Here is the inside of the card, I did add a few Mini Glue Dots to keep the ribbon from falling off, I think the next time I try this I will try to place the ribbon between the front layer & the folded part to help stablize the ribbon.
