This last week I was in Indiana with my sis-in-law and we went crazy creating scrapbook layouts and cards. I was working on a couple of my Paper Pumpkin boxes and finished up the April one but had these stickers left over. Stampin’ Up! usually has a few alternatives shown on the back of the instruction insert included in the Paper Pumpkin box. I used those for my inspiration and then headed to Pinterest to see what else was out there. A big thank-you to Amanda Bach and Leslie Wheeler for their ideas. I tweaked a few to work with my supplies.
On the sunshine card, I used the Bumblebee 2020-2022 Designer Series Paper and a retired Paper Pumpkin stamp set for the small images and the sentiment. On the rainbow card, I used the retired Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration offerings, along with the Stitched Rectangles die and the new Loose Flower Flourishes. Once again, the Oh So Ombre paper came into play, only green this time, and I added some green twine and then the Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the scalloped circle. The “hello” is another retired stamp set. The watermelons were fun and I used the Olive Green and Calypso Coral cardstock and some retired ribbon for them.
Once again, more Oh So Ombre paper and some green twine on these popsicle cards. The strawberries are on some retired gingham paper and ribbon. The rainbow had me stumped, since it was such a small image. Then the light bulb went off and I realized I could use some more 3×3 cards. When we stay at hotels, I like to leave the housekeeping staff a tip and this size card works great to put some money in.
Hope you enjoy these simple cards. They were fun to do and I love using stuff from my stash. Keep stampin’ and scrappin’!
