It’s time for the August 2019 PPPBH! This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is called The Gift of Fall* and it’s a real beauty. There are so many colors, and so many pretty pieces to decorate the gift bags in the kit. There is also an add-on kit subscribers can purchase that has cards and envelopes. I used both to create my projects for today.
*What we in the US call Fall, folks in other English speaking parts of the world call Autumn.

Here’s what I did:
Products in italics will be available beginning September 4, 2019.
Cut using Paper Snips:
tag from a note card front, using a white tag from the kit as a guide
Stamped with the Gift of Fall stamp set:
berry sprigs in Golden Glitz and Celestial Copper Delicata Metallic inks onto the note card front and the tag front
sentiment in Merry Merlot ink onto the label
NOTE: The Delicata Metallic inks take longer to dry than the classic inks, so I heat set the stamped images with my heat tool. The shimmer of these inks doesn’t show well in the photos. They have a lovely glimmer to them which is subtler than heat embossing.
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the note card base with a Bone Folder
2 vellum leaves glued onto the front of the card base
1 vellum leaf glued onto the sentiment label
sentiment label adhered onto the front of the note card using Stampin’ Dimensionals
Assembled the bag:
3 vellum leaves and 5 Crumb Cake leaves glued onto the tag
5 gold sequins applied onto the center of the leaves
tag glued onto the front of the gift bag

The theme for this month’s IRBH is Vacation. When I was trying to decide what to use for my project, I looked through all the great stamp sets I have. I could’ve made something about the beach, or any number of places like that. But when I thought about what I’ve really loved about my favorite vacations, I realized I love being someplace peaceful and quiet, with no everyday noise, where I can just relax and think. Then I came across the Peaceful Place stamp set and I knew that was it. I wanted to make a card that was peaceful and quiet and gentle, like a whisper. So I used Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White, two of the softest colors in the Stampin’ Up! line up. I hope you like what I’ve come up with.

I used the Heartland and All Wired Up stamp sets, along with the Layering Ovals Dies, to create this “just a note” card. Silver embossing powder gives dimension to the chicken wire. And silver Metallic Pearls look like metal studs or nail heads. This tiny bit of silver “bling” balances the muted tones of this rural themed card.

It’s time for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop (IRBH) for July. This month’s theme is Sunshine. I can’t wait to see what this talented group has made. For my project, I made a thank you card the color of sunshine, with sunshine shining down on sunshine colored flowers. Do you think I captured the theme okay?
The look I was going for on this card was like one of those photos that has had all the color completely desaturated except for just a few areas that are left vibrant. I used the Daffodil Delight Pigment Sprinkles and an Aqua Painter to color the tulips and the sun. Yes, even the orange bits are Daffodil Delight – just with a heavier concentration of the Sprinkles. A clear block makes the perfect palette for this.
To continue with the desaturated look, I colored the rest of the image in Smoky Slate.
SI
Here’s what I made:
I made this card all wrong. I started out doing one thing, then changed my mind. So I thought it would just be a trial run, then I would redo it properly. But then I kind of liked how it turned out. So to do it “correctly” I would use Stazon on ink instead of Memento, and Watercolor Paper or Shimmery White Cardstock instead of regular Whisper White Cardstock.
I found that using a very light touch with the Aqua Painter worked fine for the tulips on the Whisper White Cardstock. While I like the way this sun turned out, you could get a smoother look by using the two other types of paper.
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
Daffodil Delight card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
Pumpkin Pie CS cut to 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
Whisper White CS layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
optional: Whisper White CS cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Winds of Change stamp set:
large image in Memento black ink onto the Whisper White CS layer
sentiment in Memento black ink onto the Whisper White CS layer
Colored using Pigment Sprinkles and an Aqua Painter:
tulips in Daffodil Delight
sun at top right corner in Daffodil Delight
Colored using a Blender Pen:
windmill, stems, leaves, and ground in Smoky Slate
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
Pumpkin Pie CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
stamped layer glued onto the Pumpkin Pie CS layer
optional: Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
