It's time to hop along with the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities (aka PPP) Blog Hop as we share fun alternative projects showcasing the December Paper Pumpkin kit. It has been fun to switch from the holidays to a great all occasion card kit to get a head start on cards for the New Year.
Today I have two card designs to share with you featuring stamp sets from the new 2020 Sale-a-bration Catalog. The Gangs All Meer (item #152294) is a cute stamp set that you can earn with a qualifying US$50 order during Sale-a-bration and the Little Ladybug stamp set (item #152384) is a special reward that Hosts can earn with a qualifying party during Sale-a-bration.
This first card featues the Crushed Curry polka dotted card base from the Paper Pumpkin kit and I added the focal image that I stamped on to an oval of Whisper White cardstock that I die cut with the Layering Ovals Dies (item #141706) with Early Espresso Classic ink. To color the cute meerkats, I used an Aquapainter and gently colored it with the ink from the image. For the ground, I used a little Old Olive Classic ink from the lid of the ink pad and colored it with the Aquapainter. I layered this oval onto a scalloped oval that I die cut from Crushed Curry cardstock using one of the scalloped oval dies from the same die set.
I attached the oval image to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals from the kit and added two of the small flower stickers to decorate the oval. I cut two of the leaves in half and added them to either side of the flowers and then added a rhinestone from the kit to the center of each flower. For the sentiment, I stamped "You're The Best" image from the exclusive stamp set in the kit using Old Olive Classic ink and attached it to the card front below the oval image with Stampin' Dimensionals.
For the second card, I chose to use the striped card base and added the Old Olive polka dot circle sticker to the card base. I added one of the floral stickers to the circle and cut one of the gold leaf stickers in half and attached to either side of the flower, tucking the ends underneath the flower. For the ladybug, I stamped the image from the Little Ladybug stamp set onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the image with Real Red, So Saffron and Basic Black Stampin' Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image out and attached it to the circle with Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped using the "Thank You" image from the stamp set in the kit with Old Olive Classic ink and attached to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. To embellish the sentiment, I added one of the smaller flowers with a Mini Stampin' Dimensional and decorated it with one of the Rhinestones from the kit.
Don't you just love how the stamped images transformed these cards into whimsical designs that will be sure to brighten someone's day.
