Paper Pumpkin Kit - Bouquet of Hope

Images copyright Stampin' Up!® 1990 -2022

Introducing you to the beautiful Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up!®

This kit has all the supplies for 9 cards - 3 each of 3 designs and includes a stamp set, a Stamping Spot for printing the greetings, 9 card bases, 9 coordinating envelopes and plenty of motifs ready to use.

Today I'm going to show you the 3 pre-designed cards that are perfect for beginner stampers as well as those who need a card in a hurry. You can create these cards in a matter of minutes, and let's face it, we all need that once in a while.

The first card is on a diagonally striped base and is made using the floral image layered over a contrasting patterned rectangle. This is then highlighted with the stamped greeting raised on dimensionals and decorated with 3 self adhesive sequins

The next card is super simple but very elegant. It includes a gold foil doily, a stamped greeting and some self adhesive sequins. I added some Linen Thread (included in the kit) behind the greeting and true to the coordination of Stampin' Up!® the thread matches the envelope insert.

The 3rd card uses more of the pre-cut motifs plus a self adhesive greeting and a gorgeous gold embossed vellum layer. Again this card is very quick to make and will be very handy in your card collection.

kit is only available while stocks last and is so beautiful that I'm sure you will love it. One really good point about these kits is that they can be used for a variety of reasons/occasions and they can be dressed up or down depending on your personal style. Different greetings from your stamp set stash will work beautifully with the motifs and you can mix and match the elements with the card bases.

I will show you some examples of how to do this is a future post.

If you would like to purchase the kit, and you are an Australian resident you can purchase via my on-line store.

I hope you've enjoyed these samples. The kits make a lovely gift for a friend or family member who enjoys card making. I always have a couple on hand for this purpose and they are always appreciated because they do not require any further supplies.

Paper Pumpkin is only available as a subscription in North America. But, every now and then, we like to offer a Paper Pumpkin kit to demonstrators and customers in our markets all around the world!

The Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin Kit provides a way to offer comfort, care, and condolences to those enduring life’s challenges. With beautiful blooms and supportive sentiments, this kind-hearted kit will allow you to soothe others’ sorrow and share your sympathy in a heartfelt, handmade way!

Botanical Prints Die Cuts Background Card

The Botanical Prints Product Medley kit has a wide variety of products to use. It's fun to combine different elements and the card I'm showing today uses a partial piece of one of the laser-cut overlays. The overlays are Pretty Peacock in colour on one side, with the other side being white. This makes them very versatile.

There are 2 different designs with the overlays. I used a Poppy Parade Blend to colour the back of this one so it would coordinate with the colour in the stamped images.
The images are from the Botanical Prints Stamp Set - I've stamped them with Memento Black ink then coloured them with Poppy Parade, Dark Real Red, and Old Olive combo Blends.

There are coordinating dies for the stamped images, so creating a card like this is quick and easy. Simply stamp, colour and cut with your die cutting machine.
You can see all the contents of the Botanical Prints Product Medley in the photo below.

The little copper metal bee is a perfect embellishment for botanical inspired cards and there are 12 of them included in the kit.
You can see this wonderful product medley in the Mini Catalogue or you can also view it on my website
When you visit my website, be sure to watch the short video from Stampin' Up! featuring all the products in the medley.

This is a perfect product to purchase while we are all staying at home because of COVID-19, and it makes a great gift for friends who like to craft.

Botanical Prints Product Medley Alternate Cards

At this very strange time in our lives, I find myself living with adult children and grandchildren, while my home is in isolation with family who have recently returned from overseas. We are pleased to offer our home, but as we fall into the vulnerable category, and they had to self isolate we are grateful to be able to live with other family members.

That brings my crafting to a somewhat limited range and I grabbed a couple of items that I thought would offer me lots of opportunity for variety. I've been wanting to use the lovely Botanical Prints Product Medley for a while as I'm fascinated with the beautiful stamped images included in the kit, but I also wanted to utilise some of the prepared images and cut outs that come with the product medley.

The first card I made uses some of the beautiful designer papers included in the medley.

I fussy cut the paper in the foreground after colouring select images with Stampin' Blends. The stripes are from another design from the DSP.
The greeting is from the Botanical Prints Stamp set that is included in the product medley, and it has been stamped with Memento Black onto one of the die-cut accents included in the kit.
One of my favourite accents is the copper coloured metal bees. They are so cute and add a lovely finishing touch to the cards.

In between helping with home schooling of a year 3 and year 7 student and playing lots of games with the children, I didn't get as much done as I thought. However I really enjoyed the time with family, so there are always some positives to come from any situation.

If you'd like to purchase any Stampin' Up! products on-line, you can do so via my website
or
you can email or phone me and I'll place the order for you.

Stay safe everyone!
hugs

edited to note I am now home with access to my computer and craft room. Family is safely through isolation - yay! so I will be posting all all the cards I made with the suite while I was away.
