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!

Easter Leftovers

 I decided to use up the stickers, pom pom from the March 2017 My Paper Pumpkin Bunnies and Buddies stamp set and the coordinating background DSP from the Playful Palette DSP #141657 paper stack from Stampin Up to create a simple card. The flower is stamped using the bunny ear image from the Bunnies and Buddies stamp set.  The centers of bottom petals are the left over stickers from the March kit.  The top flowers are also stamped using the bunny ear stamped directly on a piece of DSP and then hand cut out to create a layered flower. I added the pom pom center and stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Dreams #142924 stamp set.

Many Happy Birthdays

Today’s post features the Many Happy Birthdays kit from the  February My Paper Pumpkin kit.  It was super cute and easy to complete these cards.  Love how you pull the sentiment to reveal the whole message.
