Paper Pumpkin -Celebrating In Color- Part 2!

So this Paper Pumpkin...Celebrating In Color sure was a fun one!! I do love to make alternative projects and here were just a few I made using this kit. If you missed it...you can see all the details and measurements on my last Facebook Live. You can view the video here ...https://www.facebook.com/Water-City-Stamping-730960700266193/videos/?ref=page_internal

These are the cards Stampin Up! has created with this kit....

And here are mine....

Starting with A Fish and A Wish bundle....I punched 3 fish from the Fish Builder Punch in Pumpkin Pie CS, sponge with Pumpkin Pie Ink using Blending Brushes and popped them up on that beautiful Starry Sky background.

The gold accents on the card front are perfect fish bubbles...adding Starry Sky CS for the main card just makes for a lovely thank you!!

Next ...onto Tahitian Tide!

using the Perfectly Penciled DSP....I fussy cut a section from one of those beautiful black and white designs. I used my In Color Blends...Orchid Oasis, Tahitian Tide , Parakeet Party and Mango Melody to color in.

Fussy cut a butterfly to finish it of...oh yes and just a few of the include matte dats add a perfect accent onto the Tahitian Tide Ombre striped banner included with the kit.

Now onto Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet...I featured both of these cards in the previous post for our A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop"

Adding a cardstock base card in Orchid Oasis...I used the soft crisscross patterned card to high lighted by the the Flowers and Leaves Punch. The Flowers punched in Basic White...accented by centers from the In Color Designer Series DSP. The leaves are punched from the Parakeet Party Strips in the kit!

And then the super fun part of this kit is each card has a coordinating Striped Gift Card Holder.

Mine went on the inside of this card. A card AND a gift all in one!!

Next we are onto the Sweet Sorbet Card....I cut down the panel to 4 1/8 x 4 1/8 " Added it to a 4 1/4 x 11" Sweet Sorbet CS. Then cut onside to 4" . Add Basic White to the inside and it leaves just enough room for a Sweet Cherry punched using the Cherry Builder Punch and out In Color Glimmer Paper. Again the leaves are punched from the Parakeet Party strips in the kit....I just love the bit of gold flecks in those strips!!

And don't forget to add a Gift Card holder on the inside....perfect place for another Cherry!!

And now it is time to see what all the other fabulous demonstrators have created...

Happy Hopping!!💓
