Another Crop of One in a Melon Cards

Just a few more ideas for the June Paper Pumpkin kit coming your way.  I was inspired by a card created by Jenny Peterson for Creative Community.  This site has all sorts of inspirations for demonstrators and I really liked the look of the layout. So much so, in fact, that I created these three cards using it!

I love using the largest circle framelit from the Stitched Shapes Framelits with this kit.  It's perfect for the watermelon but adds just a little extra something to every card I use it with.

This card utilizes the Lemon Lime Twist ink pad and some White Accents.  Simple and quick on purpose.  Even looking at it, I can see how you could use the polka dot embossing folder for more circles or adding some twine but I wanted this to be a super quick card.

Then I used the supplies from the kit with the same layout but included twine like Jenny's sample did.  If you are punching tissue paper, make sure you layer it on a piece of cardstock first so it cuts instead of tears.  I'm going to make a lot of these with my refill kit - just love them for my summer birthdays!

Then I decided to use the designer print on the notecard for the card but made a mistake and ended up with this lovely little layout!  I love the 12" of Melon Mambo thread tied around the stitched circle.

Fancy Folds for Spring

Just hopping in to share two of the fancy fold cards I'm teaching on April 22nd.  These cards are paired up with simple cards using the same stamp sets and papers to offer two different ideas for each group of products. 

These two cards were based on designs by Ronda Wade that were shared via Creative Corner.  Come back tomorrow to view the cards I made to accompany them.

The first uses the Balloon Adventures stamp set and the Party Animal Designer Series Paper.

Check out how to make it here:

 

Supplies:

• Cardstock/DSP: Pacific Point, Emerald Envy, Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Party Animal DSP
• Ink: Emerald Envy and Pacific Point
• Stamp Set: Balloon Adventures
• Big Shot: Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and Cutting Pads, Stitched Shapes Framelits
• Accessories: Balloon Punch, Crumb Cake Marker, Adhesive, Dimensionals, Tear and Tape

 

The second card features the Cool Treats suite which is my absolute favorite, though I'm pretty sure I call it Tasty Treats all through the video.

See how I made it here:

 

Supplies:

• Cardstock/DSP: Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White, Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, Tasty Treats DSP
• Ink: Crumb Cake and Watermelon Wonder
• Stamp Set: Cool Treats
