Welcome to my SAVI Sunday - Episode 51:  February 2021 - Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

I am so excited for my Savi Sunday Video this week showing you 5 Additional Projects for this months Paper Pumpkin kit. 

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription kit that comes right to your mailbox each month.  Below you will see in my product list the different subscriptions options you have.  Also, you can start and pause when you like.  Stampin' Up! sends a monthly reminder. 

February's Kit was called Bouquet of Hope.  A beautiful kit that makes 3 each of the following designs. 

But I wanted to share some alternative projects making the cards my own with only adding a few pieces of other cardstock.

Card 1 & 2:  I took the Paper Pumpkin card base that is Rococo Rose and I cut in half.  One of those halves, I then cut in half again.  I adhered these to Basic Black card base cardstock 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 and built the rest of cards with items from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

Card 3: is the Just Jade stripped Paper Pumpkin card base but I reversed the card so the strips are on the side.  I stamped the floral image

Cards 4 & 5:  I took a the Paper Pumpkin Card and cut in half, and cut them down to 4 x 5-1/4" then mounted to Rococo Rose cardstock. 

I just loved coming up with alternatives for this month's kit. 

INSPIRATION TIP:  Make sure to watch my VIDEO to see where I got those black strips from!!!!

SAVI Sunday 34 - Mirror Stamping

Thank you for joining me for my next Savi Sunday video showing you how to do Mirror Stamping, also known as reverse stamping.  I am highlighting the Dove of Hope stamp set from the bundle available in the 2020 Holiday catalog (2020 August-December mini catalog).  You'll have to forgive my photography this time as I am away from home and my usual process.  :)

You can see my video HERE to see the easy method I do using the Stamparatus and Silicone craft sheet.  You will stamp the dove on the right onto the Smoky Slate card stock.  Remove the Smoky Slate CS and place your silicone mat into the Stamparatus and stamp the dove.  Now flip over your CS and place into Stampartus and rub over area where you stamped on the silicone mat to transfer the ink.  The video shows this process so it may be easier to understand. 

Card Details

• Cherry Cobbler card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
• Smoky Slate CS 4 x 5-1/4
• Dove and words are inked in Misty Moonlight

Thanks for popping by and don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Hello friends.  I am super excited to share these with you today.  Each card features the floral image from Ornate Style stamp set along with Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Shimmer White card stock.  If you have not noticed, I am on a bit of a watercolor kick lately. 

Make sure to watch my YouTube Video where I water colored with Stampin' UP! Colored Pencils. 

So my projects I am sharing today were done with Aqua Painters.  I picked up color from the lid of my ink pad.  With the ink pad closed, press the center of the lid... give it a little squeeze and when you open your ink pad, there will be ink on the inside lid.  

I wanted to show 3 Different Effects when you use different embossing powders.  Even though Stampin' Up! is retiring black, I went ahead and did anyways.  As an alternative, you can use Stazon Ink!  It is permanent and great for water-coloring. 

You watch how I colored these cards on the Reply of my Facebook Live by clicking HERE

NO LINE WATER-COLORING... with Clear Embossing Power. 

• Gorgeous Grape card base is 8-1/2 x 5-1/2.  Scored at 4-1/4 on the long side.  
• Highland Heather mat is 5-1/4 x 4.  You can also use this piece to die cut your word die three times
• Shimmer White layer is 5 x 3-3/4
• Heat Emboss with Clear Embossing Powder
• Use Aqua Painter to paint on Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo
• Friend die cut out of Highland Heather CS three times.  Adhere the 3 together and glue on Shimmer White
• Fussy cut the Shimmer White around the word Friend

Next... GOLD EMBOSSING POWER

• Gorgeous Grape case base is 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 scored at 4-1/2 on the long side
• Highland Heather mat is 5-1/4 x 4 and embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder
• Shimmer White top layer is 4-3/8 x 3-1/8
• Heat Emboss using Gold Embossing Powder
• Use Aqua Painter to paint on Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo
• Thanks die cut with Gorgeous grape card stock.  3 layers glued together and glued to Shimmer White and fussy cut

Next... BLACK EMBOSSING POWDER (alt. use Stazon Black ink)

• Gorgeous Grape card base is 8-1/2 x 5-1/2.  Scored at 4-1/4 on the long side.  
• Highland Heather mat is 5-1/4 x 4. 
• Shimmer White layer is 5 x 3-3/4
• Heat Emboss with Black Embossing Powder (or stamp with Black Stazon ink).
• Use Aqua Painter to paint on Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo
• Happy die cut out of Black CS three times.  Adhere the 3 together, glue on Shimmer White & fussy cut, then layer on Highland Heather and fussy cut around word.

I hope you likes these three examples and you can see what a difference the embossing powder color makes!

Watch my SAVI SUNDAY video #16 where I share 3 TIPS... 

1. building word die layers and shadow
2. how I glue them together
3. how I clean up the paper shards (hair, fine, loose pieces of paper on edges of your die cuts)
