Paper Pumpkin July 2015: Thanks a Latte

I got email notice last week that my August Paper Pumpkin was on its way. I hadn't done my July Paper Pumpkin yet. I hadn't even unwrapped the contents.
These are the cards as instructed in the kit. They also came with envelopes. The kit had supplies to make 8 cards all alike except for changing the expression and the plant. Pretty!
But of course, I didn't want to make 8 cards all alike. So, tune in tomorrow to see another card design.

Partial Punching

CASE:  Linda Heller on Stamping School. This layout and punching technique comes from Stamping School. My annual subscription is one of the best investments I make each year. To make the heart in the interior I stamped in the corner of the white card stock and after it had dried used my heart punch to partial punch. You just line up the punch and then very carefully only punch part way through the paper. The just curl up the edges that have punched all the way through. Just a fun little technique to use for a change in card design.

Loads of Thanks

I used some of the Designer Series Paper from last year to pair with this image and really like the way it turned out. I also used the Boho Blossoms punch to add the flower accents on the right. This card is the same layout as yesterday's with just a little tweaking of the measurements.

Follow Your Heart!

This is probably my favorite image in the You're Sublime stamp set. It's just so whimsical!

You're Sublime

CASE:  Dawn Olchefske  I'ts hard to tell on this card but instead of covering the portholes with the Itty Bitty Epoxy Sticker circles like Dawn did I used some Crystal Effects. I just pooled it on the finished card and set it aside to let it dry.

Snappy Day!

I've used the same layout as yesterday's card, just moved the elements around a bit. I had these large googly eyes in my stash and like how they really perk up the card.

Toadally Awesome!

When I saw the You're Sublime stamp set in the new catalog I was sure I would be ordering it. I just love the images. Here I've used the toadally awesome image to make a birthday card. I fussy cut one of the party hats out of the Designer Sereis Paper (retired package) and adhered it to the top of the frog's head and also added some googly eyes. 

I also used the new Washi punch on this card for the "it's your birthday" sentiment. It was another item I decided to get on my first glance through the new catalog.
