New Stamps

So I made my preorder from the new annual catalog. It was so much fun using the new stamps and paper that is coming out. I used the Host Soft Spring stamp set, Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper, Forever Greenery Paper DSP, Old World Paper 3D embossing folder, Sunflowers Dies, Celebrate Sunflowers cling stamp set. I used the Misty Moonlight paper from the new In Color 20-22 cardstock collection.

With the embossing of the papers for each card I stamped it first and then ran it through the embossing folder. The pedals of the flowers are stickers and to get them to not stick only the center I used a little baby powder on the back to get rid of the stickiness.

May Paper Pumpkin

I didn't follow the instructions that came with the Paper Pumpkin, which is what makes the Paper Pumpkin so fun. You get all the pieces and you can just mix and match. It is also great because it works with every budget. Comment if you would like to know more.

Baby

With the increase of babies being born and the ones that will be born later this year I wanted to make a welcome to the world card. I used the birthday bananza, coastal cabana, very vanilla and bermuda bay paper. The Time for Tags and the Wildly Happy stamp sets.
