Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers. Are you almost ready for the weekend? It’s coming up really quick now. I never made it to the 4-H Fair yesterday. We had bad thunder storms and a lot of rain. I feel bad for all those kids that worked so hard on their projects and with their animals to have the 1st day be rained out. Today and tomorrow are suppose to be beautiful so hopefully they will have a good turn out.
For today’s card I used a Host Exclusive set. There are a few sets in the catalogs that are set aside just for hosts to earn. I used one of my favorites, the Stampin’ Up New Wonders Cling Stamp Set. I just love the fairy images in this set. Here’s my card.
I joined in with Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #320 today. Here’s their sketch.
I also played along with TGIF Challenge #223. Here are their colors.
I started by adhering a Coastal Cabana panel of the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Melon Mambo mat using Snail. I adhered the matted panel to a Gorgeous Grape card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped one of the fairy images from the New Wonders stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I only colored the hair and skin of the fairy in using my Crumb Cake and Ivory Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered it to a Melon Mambo scalloped circle mat, which I cut out using my Layering Circles Dies, using Snail. I adhered the artwork just under the DSP strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I stamped the sentiment from the New Wonders stamp set on a strip of Melon Mambo cardstock in VersaMark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I punched the top of the strip using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. I adhered the tag to the card front using a Glue Dot and Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a small bow that I had made from my Whisper White Solid Bakers Twine and adhered it using a Glue Dot. I added a few Glitter Enamel Dots to the tag and the card front.
On the inside I stamped another one of the fairy images from the New Wonders stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, stamping off twice, on a Whisper White panel. I stamped the leaf image from the New Wonders stamp set in all 4 corners in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the New Wonders stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on top of the fairy image. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Melon Mambo mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Gorgeous Grape card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the fairy image from the New Wonders stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Brights 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

What’s the old saying? Variety is the spice of life? At Paper Pumpkin, we like to mix things up and keep our customer’s crafting experience fresh and fun. We plan each kit carefully, allowing them to check as many creative boxes as possible while keeping our projects simple—so they can explore the world of paper crafting with confidence. With this in mind, we are bringing an elegant fall gift packaging kit to Paper Pumpkin fans this August.
Now, it’s no secret that our subscribers love cardmaking. So when we offer treat or gift packaging, you generally like to make a few card alternates with the kit. That’s why THIS month we decided to bring you the best of both worlds with the Gift of Fall Add-On Bundle. This coordinating product will allow you to turn your Gift of Fall gift packaging into cards in an easy and inexpensive way.

- Once you have completed the August kit, you will have extra kit components so you can easily combine them with the add-on without having to purchase additional kits.
- Just as you would with any other Stampin’ Up! product, you will need to purchase the add-on bundle via OEX or the online store. You will not be able to add it to a Paper Pumpkin subscription purchase.
- The price for the add-on bundle is $10.00 usd/$13.00 cad and is available for Paper Pumpkin subscribers only. This add-on is available beginning August 1, while supplies last!
