A twist on Sara

 For today’s post I took some leftovers from the Stampin Up April 2017 My Paper Pumpkin kit called It’s a Sara Thing to create a simple masculine card.

Sweet end to summer

Here’s one final card that I made using the June 2017 My Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin Up.  The kit was called One in a Melon and was intended to be used as a gift bag complete with tissue paper that I used as the card front bottom layer.  All the rest of the goods on the card were cut down and sized to fit a card.

I think it’s a fitting tribute to summers unofficial end with the last piece of watermelon. Enjoy the upcoming Labor Day celebration!

Its a Sara Thing- Take 2

 Here’s another super quick card made using the Stampin Up It’s  Sara Thing My Paper Pumpkin card kit.  The My Paper Pumpkin and other card kits from Stampin Up are a perfect way to have plenty of cards on hand for birthdays and other occasions.  The kits include lots of elements leftover so you can add some cardstock and other supplies to extend the kit even further.

A Sara Thing

 I have been on a roll lately completing my Stampin Up My Paper Pumpkin kits.  Today’s post is from the April 2017 A Sara Thing kit.  This card was done as instructed which is not what I usually do.  I prefer to challenge myself to come up with alternative ways to use the kits

Sweet Watermelon card

 I love getting the My Paper Pumpkin kits from Stampin Up in the mail each month and was so excited for the One in a Melon kit except it was intended to be used as a gift bag.  I decided to cut the bag down and use it for the background layer.  For the main panel, I just stamped the images to make my watermelon slices every which way. Super cute and easy.

Happy National Watermelon Day

 I made a few cards using the supplies in the Stampin Up One in a Melon My Paper Pumpkin kit.  The kit was intended to be used as gift bags with the watermelon tissue paper but cut the bag down to make the rind of the watermelon card front and used the tissue paper to create the simple design just in time to celebrate National Watermelon day.

It’s your day to Sparkle

 For today’s card I combined the Stampin Up Jar of Love #141587 stamp set with the You’re a Gem stamp set from a My Paper Pumpkin kit to make this cute jar of gems.  To finish, I blinged it up with glitter tape and rhinestones because a girl can never have too much sparkle in her life!
