ONLINE CLASS: 8 Card Mega Class and alternate Paper Pumpkin Set and more

April 25, 2018 by

2 CARD SETS

Today’s online class is a “mega class” we’ll be creating 2 sets of 4 cards each, for a total of 8 cards in 1 class! Wowzers! We’ll be playing with the retiring Stampin Up Petal Garden DSP, and (sold out) March Paper Pumpkin “May Good Things Grow” card kit to create these beautiful and fun cards.

We’ll be doing some fun techniques, such as using patterned paper for focal points on the card, working with wood embellishments, and background impressions.

I’ve also included some bonus alternate card ideas below from Stampin Up.

 

SUBSTITUTIONS TO THE MARCH KIT

I wanted to include some ideas for a fun “alternate to my alternate” projects with the March kit because it sold out and we can’t purchase refills. This kit was so super popular. You can see my reveal video here for this kit to see what was inside the original box.

The retiring Petal Garden Designer Series Paper and Petal Garden Memories & More Kits were perfect substitutions to the kit. Hurry they are retiring, and are “while supplies last” these could go before the video even airs.

 

WOOD EMBELLISHMENTS

The March “May Good Things Grow” Paper Pumpkin Card Kit was a special 5 year anniversary edition of Paper Pumpkin. It came in this special box, with a special gift of a package of these awesome free Wood Embellishments to play with. They are comparable to our (retiring) Touches of Nature wood embellishments that are in the catalog.

A few of you were new to this type of accessory and had asked how to use them. I’ve used them several different ways on these 2 card sets. I love them plain, and customized. See the video for more details on how to use these fun embellishments. Be sure to stock up on the Touches of Nature wood embellishments before they go extinct.

STAMPIN UP SAMPLES 

HELLO CARD
This fresh and lovely Hello card made using Crumb Cake Cardstock. Our concept artist adhered a designed panel from the March kit and a Fresh Fig Cardstock banner to the card front. She then added a stamped Whisper White Cardstock panel spattered with a bit of Fresh Fig ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. She finished by popping up the panel and sentiment with dimensionals and tying with a White Baker’s Twine bow doubled up with Linen Thread. This card is truly easy to make, and who wouldn’t love receiving it from a friend?
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY CARD
This card’s sweet floral centerpiece was created with kit elements, Crumb Cake Cardstock branches (made using the Big Shot and the Sweet Cake Framelits Dies), and wooden embellishments included with this very special fifth anniversary kit. Finish it off with a Baker’s Twine bow and a few pink pearls and you have what may be one of the prettiest Mother’s Day cards ever.
We created this last card by adhering one of the card panels included with the kit to Powder Pink Cardstock; we then layered over it with a Vellum Cardstock rectangle stamped with a heart in Whisper White Craft ink.
SURE DO LOVE YOU CARD
We finished with die-cut flowers, wooden elements, and a banner made using the Birthday Banners Stamp Set and cut using the Big Shot and the Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies. (The inks used to stamp the banner are Fresh Fig and Whisper White Craft.)

MONITOR STAND

I shared this previously on Facebook (and a previous video) and have received so many requests for it, I’m re-sharing. It’s a genius Big Shot Organizer Stand idea from a fellow demo. This is a monitor stand from Target, the drawer fits the cutting pads and platforms/accessories perfectly.

    I think this has been my all time favorite PP Kit.
    After watching your video I went back and ordered 2 packs of the Petal Garden DSP as of 1:25 a.m. CST 4/26 it was still in stock.
    I say I went back and placed another order because I placed an order less than 24 hours ago. So this is the 3rd for the month and next week I will place another order to get catalogs and such. But after seeing what you created with that DSP I had to jump on that paper. I haven’t been into card making, 3-D projects and scrapbooking is what I have always done but I’m starting to get into more cardmaking.
    I am a demo (for just over a year now) and I follow you for inspiration and you never disappoint.
    Thanks!
