Hello, my crafty friends. This week I have designed a super cute card using the beautiful stamp set from the April Paper Pumpkin kit, My Wonderful Family, and some various pieces and parts from my kit.
The card base is a side fold A2 (cut 5.5 x 8.5, scored at 4.25) in Melon Mambo cardstock. The leaves for this large tree is stamped twice in Pear Pizzazz, side-by-side, on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut using the second largest Stitched Rectangle die. I used one of the extra die cut tree trunk/branches piece from the kit. The second layer is Pear Pizzazz cardstock die cut using the largest Stitched Rectangle die.
Next I inked the sentiment in Pear Pizzazz and "cleaned" off the words "life" and "love" to color them with the Melon Mambo Stampin' Writer Marker so the words would stand out when stamped on the piece of Whisper White cardstock. The sentiment is secured to an extra piece of the fancy Crushed Curry paper strip. A pop of bling on each end of the sentiment using those Frosted Crushed Curry pearls that came in your kit. Another pop of color with the string of butterflies in Melon Mambo.
Give this super simple card a try!

MINI CATALOG
(January 3 - June 2, 2020)
All good things must come to an end. The Mini Catalog and the 2019-20 Annual Catalog will both retire on June 2. There are still many great products available -- product that does not carry over to the New 2020-21 Annual Catalog are available now while supplies last. If you have placed an order from me over the past year, look for your personal copy of the 2020-21 Annual Catalog in the mail the third week of May. If you did not place an order last year and are interested in receiving a copy, please contact me immediately and let's fix that. If you do not already have a demonstrator, it would be my pleasure to be your enabler (er, I mean demonstrator) and send you a copy of your very own. Chock full of inspiration and ideas.
As always, if you have any questions, or need assistance, contact me in your favorite method of communication. :)
