Jun 22, 2020 | Cards, Designer Series Paper |
Hello – it’s Monika Davis from the USA. I’m joining the Maui Trip Achievers Blog Hop this month. This blog hop is for demonstrators all over the world that earned the Maui Incentive trip last year. There are many amazing stampers in this group so be sure to visit the other blogs in the hop. The list is down below. I’m so excited to have earned this incentive trip and go on one of my bucket list trips. But totally bummed that the virus has caused a delay. Our trip has now been moved to May 2021. I’m still working to achieve the next trip which has now become an extension of the original Maui Trip. I have a few more months left to earn it. Thank you to everyone that has ordered from me this year!
I have a really fun project for you today – it is basically a one sheet wonder project. This was created for my team meeting this past weekend. I taught the project and everyone was able to use their own 12×12 Designer Series Paper and coordinating colors, stamps, and dies. My project uses the Forever Greenery Suite. There are photos of three different versions – the idea is the same but the papers and embellishments change on each one. This morning I shared this on my weekly FB Live (June 22,2020) – here is the link if you’d like to watch me make the whole project – https://www.facebook.com/AtMonikasPlace/videos/359004241737185/
Forever Greenery Card Pouch – a 12×12 One A Sheet Wonder Project
This is basically a one sheet wonder project. The pouch and the 3 cards use a full 12×12 sheet of Designer Series Paper. Then add card bases, a few pieces of coordinating card stock, some ribbon and twine, and accent pieces – either die cuts or punches to finish the cards and the front of the pouch. See below for the supplies. Here is a map for the 12×12 cutting guide.

Jun 1, 2020 | Cards, Memories & More, Retired List |
It’s the Last Chance to order from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog and the 2020 Jan-Jun Mini Catalog. Items on the Last Chance lists will be gone at the end of Tuesday, June 2, 2020. If you still have something one your gotta have list get it now.
May Quick & Cute Cards Online
On Sunday afternoon I had an online class showing some last chance items and I thought I’d post real quick the cards I made. If you want to see the videos and project supplies, etc. you’ll want to join the FB group that the class was held in – At Monika’s Place: May Quick & Cute Cards Online.
Card 1 – Stitched All Around
This first card idea came from my friend Cindy – I loved how the background is made with Stampin’ Blends. You may see the Stampin’ Blends on the Last Chance list but they will be in the new catalog. Going forward they will be offered in combo packs only – so you get the light and dark Blends for a color together. The Stitched All Around stamp set and the Stitched Labels dies are both retiring. And so is the Whisper White Baker’s Twine – why did they do that? It is a staple in my craft room.
Card 2 – Birthday Backgrounds
This card idea is from my friend Melody. It uses some great birthday sets that are retiring – Birthday Backgrounds and Perennial Birthday. The color palette is from the Glitter Enamel Dots which are also on the retirement list. And the White Baker’s Twine – I’m so sad.
Card 3 – Mosaic Vases
These fun cards use the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series paper. It has a fun mosaic tile design with shiny embossed accents. The paper is retiring and so are the Hand Lettered Prose dies that I used to cut out the THANKS. The Flower Faceted Gems are retiring too – they match perfectly to the Mosaic paper. The stamp set I used is Varied Vases which unfortunately is sold out already. But the Vibrant Vases could also be used. The Vase Builder punch will be in the new catalog.
Card 4 – Magnolia Memories & More card
And this quick card uses the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack and the Cards & Envelopes that coordinate. No stamping on this one. Really quick to put something together with the Memories & More products.
Look in the online store to see which items are still available off the Last Chance List – items are selling out every day.

May 28, 2020 | Cards, Paper Pumpkin |
Hello my crafty friends. 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. We are a group of demonstrators sharing our ideas using this months kit – just in case you need some added inspiration. This month our kit is – A Kit In Color.
This month’s kit is bright and cheerful and perfect for sending out cards right now. Plus you get an early peek at four of the five limited edition Stampin’ Up! In Colors for 2020-2022! Even the ink spot in the box is one of our new In Colors and Paper Pumpkin subscribers were the first to get their hands on it.
For my first idea I took the components for one set of cards from the kit and mixed up the pieces to create three different cards. My second idea uses the stamp set and some card stock featuring the new In Colors. If you want to see me make all these cards be sure to watch my Facebook Live video from May 25th – watch it here.
3 More Cards from the kit contents
I changed the orientation of each card base and then combined the pieces in a different way to create three more cards. So if you don’t want to make all the cards exactly the same this would give you some variety without adding any additional supplies to this month’s kit.
Here you can see all 6 cards – the 3 original cards and then my 3 alternate card ideas. The May kit includes enough supplies to make four of each card design so if you prefer you could make two sets of these 6 cards instead.
Supply List
The additional supplies that I added to complete this project were:
- I only used supplies from the kit
Rainbow Circle Card
For my second project I made a card using the color scheme and stamps from the kit. I was also able to use one of the epoxy stickers and some twine to finish the card. But if you didn’t have those left from this kit grab something similar from your craft supplies. The circles of card stock are cut with the Layering Circle Dies.
Use the Butterfly Duet punch to punch from the center of the large vellum piece (you’ll be covering it on your cards) or from a scrap of vellum in your craft room. The words You’re amazing were stamped on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and then fussy cut around them. One tip is that I added the left side to my layer of circles with liquid glue and the right side with a double stack of dimensionals. That kept everything on the same level. The 5 layers of card stock in the circle are about the same as one dimensional width. I hope that makes sense.
Supply List
The additional supplies that I added to complete this project were:
- #100730 Whisper White card stock
- #140272 Thick Whisper White card stock
- #153080 Magenta Madness card stock (coming June 3rd)
- #153079 Just Jade card stock (coming June 3rd)
- #150881 Purple Posy card stock
- #153081 Misty Moonlight card stock (coming June 3rd)
- #148523 Butterfly Duet punch
- #151770 Layering Circle dies
- #110755 Multi Purpose Liquid Glue
- #144107 Take Your Pick Tool
- #103579 Paper Snips
I hope you liked these alternate ideas for the monthly Paper Pumpkin kit. Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts.
