More Sweet Sunflower Alternatives

 I'm seriously kicking myself for not ordering more than one kit from Paper Pumpkin last month.  Sweet Sunflowers is at the top of my all-time favorites list!  Here are some more alternatives I created with this kit---


For this one I mounted the honeycomb die-cut on a piece of Basic Black cardstock and used Crushed Curry for the card base.  The sentiment from Welcoming Window is embossed in Crushed Curry.

On this one I stamped the sunflower in Early Espresso, and the center in Soft Suede.  The petals are colored with Daffodil Delight (dark) and Pumpkin Pie (dark) Stampin' Blends.  The center is filled in with Soft Suede (light).  The foliage is stamped in Mossy Meadow.  "Thank you" is stamped in Early Espresso and the frame is hand-drawn with an Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker and a ruler.  The card base is Mossy Meadow.  There's a slightly smaller panel of Mossy Meadow embossed with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder mounted to the card base behind the stamped panel.  Brass butterflies are the finishing touch.

This one uses 1/2 of one of the card fronts from the kit mounted on Mossy Meadow cardstock and embossed with the Timeworn Type EF.  The greeting (Dandelion Wishes) is stamped & embossed in Blackberry Bliss and mounted on Stampin' Dimensionals.  A simple gold twine bow & 3 Brass Butterflies make this card "pop".

Here are some of the extra supplies I added to the kit to create these alternatives:

Fall Barn Thinking of You Card

 

I designed this for a friend who's been having a rough time recently and loves all things country.  I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.  These colors are so calming!

I used the Christmas Barn Bundle for the focal point on my card.  The barn and fence are stamped in Early Espresso ink on Soft Suede cardstock and die-cut.  The card base is Soft Suede, the mat is Pale Papaya (4" x 5-1/4"), and the card front is Crumb Cake (3-3/4" x 5").  

There's a lot of detail on the barn stamp.  I love that it's suitable for coloring, but looks great stamped on colored cardstock too!

The leaves on the background are stamped in Pale Papaya.  The 3 leaves in the corner are cut from Merry Merlot, Pale Papaya and Brushed Metallic cardstock.  These are from a retired Stampin' Up! bundle called Colorful Seasons.  If you don't have this, the current Season of Chic Bundle has oak leaves in it that would be gorgeous!

I'm playing along with two card challenges this week that have a Fall theme (tis the season!)---



I'm using Any Shape Die, Free & Sentiment




Used the solid leaf stamp in Pale Papaya to embellish a Very Vanilla envelope, too.  This card was easy to create, I hope you'll give it a go!

Sunny Splash!



These vintage bathing suits are so cute! I stamped them in Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide & Orchid Oasis and used the Tailor Made Tags dies to cut them out.  I'm playing along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week straight down the left side - polka dots, embellishments & turquoise.




The little flower embellishments are cut with the "Sending" dies out of Tahitian Tide & Orchid Oasis cardstocks.  The greeting strip is also included in the "Sending" dies, and the sentiment is included in the coordinating "Sending Smiles" stamp set.  


The gems on the flowers are one of my favorites, Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  They go with everything!
