Apr 29, 2019 | 2019 Occasions Catalog, Birthday, Cards, Scrapbook Pages, Stamper's Club |
This bright fun scrapbook page was one that I created for my Stamp Club and also used for a class at a Spring Scrapbook Crop that I was a Vendor at. I used the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper – the same as my Birthday Bingo cards – to make this happy layout – plus I have a couple of cards too. For my Stamp Club I created the left page of the two page layout. I also used those supplies to create two cards for those members that would rather have cards instead of the page. Last week I shared the two page layout and the cards in a Facebook Live.
You can view my April 22, 2019 FB live video HERE. Be sure to catch my next FB live video on Monday, April 29th.
I started with a Night of Navy 12 x 12 piece of card stock. Trim a piece of Whisper White to be 11 x 11. The cake image and Yay! were just randomly stamped in the background using Night of Navy ink. Next I added Pineapple Punch little dots and colored the flames in too. I chose two patterns from the Happiness Blooms Designer Series paper and cut strips to cover the left side of the page. Cut one at 1-1/2″ and the other at 1″ wide. The photo frames/mats are cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies – since they will layer inside each other you can actually cut all the pieces with one pass through the die cutting machine. To finish the page I added a fun tag for the title at the top.
Supply List
- #147003 Neutrals 12×12 Cardstock (Night of Navy)
- #124302 Whisper White 12 x 12 Carstock
- #148750 Amazing Life stamp set
- #150624 Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies
- #150624 Amazing Life Bundle (stamp set + Framelits dies)
- #148795 Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper
- #148805 Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots
- #146973 In Color 2018-2020 Cardstock pack (Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover)
- #147110 Night of Navy Classic Stampin’ Pad
- #147141 Pineapple Punch Classic Stampin’ Pad
- #147024 Call Me Clover Dark Stampin’ Blends
- #146336 Medium Night of Navy Baker’s Twine
- #143717 Starburst Punch
- #133782 2” Circle Punch
- #138292 Banner Triple Punch
The second page of the layout is similar with an accent piece in the bottom corner featuring the cake.
For my stamp club members that don’t want to make a scrapbook page they have the option to make two cards instead. They used the same supplies which is more than enough for two cards. Because the cards are smaller the strips of Designer Series paper where changed to be 1″ and 1/2″ and the tag was shortened a little bit.
The inside of each card has a piece of Whisper White that is stamped with the cake like the background on the scrapbook page. I hope you like the projects. The Amazing Life stamp set is retiring and so is the Happiness Blooms Designer Series paper – be sure to get those now before they are gone for good.

Apr 25, 2019 | Cards, Paper Pumpkin |
Hello my friends. Sorry I missed you last month – March was such a busy month for me. I have yet to even get that kit out and work on it. But I have moved on to the April kit and it’s time for our monthly A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop. A blog hop filled with alternate ideas using contents from the monthly kit. This month our kit is the April 2019 Sentimental Rose. And it is beautiful! One of my favorites so far.
This kit is perfect just the way it is in my opinion. But part of this hop is coming up with some Alternative Designs and change things up a little bit. The kit is full of flowers so it has a very feminine look and feel to it.
I put together one set of cards just as is – because they are pretty exactly as they were designed. But if you look in my photo the box is different. The box is cut in half! One half is for these feminine cards – for that one I used the flower to decorate the box. But I also decided to take one set and leave off the flowers and focus on the leaves so that I’d have a more masculine set of cards.
UPDATE: I filmed a Facebook live on April 29, 2019 showing these cards and alternate ideas: WATCH HERE
Masculine Card set in a half box
Instead of tying bows I tied knots. I eliminated the panel of flowers on the card on the left and stamped leaves directly on the corrugated cardboard. You can always turn the label over to use the plain white side without the pink outline. Stamping only leaves on the other two cards made an easy switch to something a little more manly. This half of the box I added just the leave and the kit came with two tags so that worked out perfect.
I didn’t actually add any additional supplies for these cards. But I did use a cutter to cut the acetate box and the corrugated sleeve in half. Here is a closer look at both sets in their boxes.
Stamped Full Size Cards
Now I love these cards so much what was I going to do when I ran out of the kit supplies. So I decided I wanted to create versions of these cards with other supplies and mimic the designs. It’s actually some simple stamping – basically paper, stamps and ink. In order to mimic the soft colors in the background I used sponge daubers. And for the splatters I used my Stampin’ Write Markers. I used Whisper White Baker’s twine just like the kit and then colored some of the Basic Pearls with my Stampin’ Blends to add them to the card. And all the envelopes are decorated too. These cards would fit in our regular Acetate boxes in our catalog.
Supply List
The additional supplies that I added to complete this project were:
- Card stock – Gray Granite, So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White
- Classic ink – So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo, Mint Macaron (Gray Granite came in the kit)
- Stampin’ Write Marker – Flirty Flamingo, Mint Macaron, Gray Granite
- Whisper White Baker’s Twine
- Basic Pearls
- Medium Whisper White Envelopes
- Stampin’ Blends – Mint Macaron Dark, Flirty Flamingo Dark
Here are some photos showing each different card with all three variations – the original from the kit, the masculine version using the kit, and then my full size cards.
I hope you liked this alternate idea for the monthly Paper Pumpkin kit. Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts.
The Blog Hop Continues
To continue through go and click on the next blog in the list below. Everything worked correctly last month – so I’m crossing my fingers that it will work again this time.

Apr 23, 2019 | 2019 Occasions Catalog, Bingo, Birthday, Cards |
Now here is that 4th card from the Birthday Bingo. I thought I had posted it but do not see the post. It’s a fun fold card that shows both sides of the Designer Paper. The Happiness Blooms Designer Paper is what this whole set of cards used. It is bright and cheerful and I love it for birthday cards. I posted the other cards already and I filmed a FB Live video showing you how to make all 4 of them. You can view my April 15, 2019 FB live video HERE.
The main part of the card is actually a 4″ x 12″ strip of the Happiness Blooms Designer paper. It is scored and folded and then glued to a piece of Night of Navy and a piece of Whisper White is added to the inside for you to write on. The front is decorated with the Piece of Cake stamp set, Night of Navy Baker’s Twine and Enamel Dots.
Supply List
- #148610 Piece of Cake stamp set
- #148795 Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper
- #148802 Happiness Blooms Cardstock Pack
- #148805 Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots
- #100730 Whisper White Cardstock

- #104430 Stampin’ Dimensionals
- #143717 Starburst Punch
- #133782 2″ Circle Punch

When you flip it open you get to see the other side of the Designer Paper. It’s a fun style of card!
Here is a look at the full set of cards and the box. Bingo was a ton of fun and I’ll be planning another one sometime this summer.
