Paper Pumpkin Monday: Banner Birthday

The March Paper Pumpkin, "Pocketful of Cheer," has so many bits and pieces to use! Here I've used the striped piece across the top, as well as another decorative strip among the banners. The little green pearl is from the kit, also. The color scheme from the March kit has really inspired me, and I've had to force myself to use different colors lately. I just love the blues and greens together!

Cotton Paper Flowers

I thought I had posted this project on my blog back when we made it at our August Stamp Club, but apparently not!

We used the Cotton Paper Assortment (Watermelon Wonder and Crushed Curry) to make this simple but flashy flower.

Now Stampin Up has a quick video showing another fun flower with the Cotton Paper!

Polka Dots for Everyone!

I shared this card yesterday on my business Facebook page, Amy's Card Buffet. I hope you'll follow me there--it's the best way to hear about specials, updates, and events!

This is a "catalog CASE," meaning I found a card in the new 2015 catalog that I loved, and made a card somewhat like it. Stampin Up catalogs are *great* sources of inspiration! If you look on page 17, you'll see that I used the same colors and the Happy Patterns Masks as in the sample, but I used a different greeting and did kind of my own thing with it.

You may have skimmed right over the Happy Patterns Masks when you went through the catalog. Here is a picture:

You get 4 different masks for $6. Each one is 6x6, so it easily covers a card or medium-sized mixed media project. You can spritz, sponge, color, or whatever you like! They wash off easily and don't take much room to store.
