Happy Mother's Day Sentimental Rose

One more (?) card with my April Paper Pumpkin, please! This was CASEd from Tammy C. Wilson. It uses the pre-cut blossom and leaves that were supposed to be the box topper to place on the clear box if you gave the set of cards as a gift. 

This card was mailed inside a box to my daughter for Mother's Day. Come back tomorrow to see the gift I placed in the box!

I love all of the embellishments on this card and the banner shape instead of just a rectangle. Using up my last bit of ruffled ribbon--it retires! If you want some, order it NOW!

Purple Posy Sentimental Rose Thank You

The small flag behind the circles is from the April Paper Pumpkin Kit. I wrapped it with some leftover twine from an earlier Paper Pumpkin kit. I love using all of the embellishments at one time or another!

I hope you are not tired of seeing the April Paper Pumpkin stamp set Sentimental Rose yet! I am enjoying it and pretty soon it will be time to get my May Paper Pumpkin kit!

Above I combined the stamp images of the flower and leaves for my focal point. Underneath the smaller pieces is a layer of Whisper White card stock that I ran through my Big Shot using the Subtle Embossing Folder. It was stamped with one of the images from the stamp set using So Saffron and new In Color Purple Posy. The card base is also the new Purple Posy.

Did you know that the Gold Metallic Thread is retiring? :-(  Silver and Rose will still be offered. I've used up my last bits. If you want some, please order right away, as it may run out or go on back order.

April Paper Pumpkin Alternative and Hugs From Shelli Inspiration

You can write on the panel on the other side of the striped piece of designer paper

Today's card is bright an bold and beautiful! I learned this fold from Victoria Lozier, one of my fellow demonstrators in the Stampin' Pretty Pals. I recently swapped cards with her at On Stage and her card was folded like this one. I hadn't seen that fold before, so I had to make one!

I used the Distinktive stamp from the April Paper Pumpkin called Sentimental Rose. It's one of my favorite stamp sets since joining Paper Pumpkin years ago. 

The measurement for the Crushed Curry fold (base) piece of card stock is: 11" x 4-1/4". Then you score it at 1-1/2", 3", 
5-1/2" and 8". Add paper strips that are 1/4" smaller than each rectangular shape. The card base is one piece of Crushed Curry card stock (run through the Big Shot with the Subtle Embossing Folder) measuring 5-1/2" x 4-1/4". Making this card is a great way to use up scraps of (in this case retired) Designer Series Paper. Mix up your patterns and colors if you dare!
