Hello!!!! So happy to have you join us for the A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop! Please tell me that you got this month's kit? OMG! Adorable is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!! I am absolutely head over heels for this kit and the stamp set...well, I kind of can't stop using it! I had a blast creating my alternative ideas for you this month!
So, I was so in love with the way that this month's cards were designed, I actually made them all up exactly as shown! YIKES. I couldn't help it...I mean they were adorable. That meant I had a two options with my ideas for you today. Use the adorable stickers that they included for us this month, or just create with the stamp set. I actually chose the stamp set. I seriously love the stamp set.
First up is a card. I admit, I colored so many watermelons and ice pops so many different ways, it was a bit hard to decide which ones to use. Ultimately I went with some good ol' classic Blends colored watermelons for this one. I think I have been wanting this line art style in a fun, whimsical, easy stamp image for so long!
Aren't they just PERFECT?!?!!? I used the two shades of Just Jade for the rind, and the new In Color Polished Pink, along with Real Red Stampin' Blends for the juicy, sweet, fruit. If you aren't a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and didn't get a chance to pre-order the new Polished Pink products, don't worry, just a few more days!!! You can get yours on May 4th!!! I also used the Dark Just Jade Blend Marker on the Just Jade Cardstock to create the fun background. To add a little more whimsy, and to mimic the look of the art style, I used my Black Journaler Marker to add a little interest to the So Sweetly Stitched scalloped rectangle die cut piece.
Next up, I decided to make a "sweet" little box from the Love You Always Treat Boxes. These fun little "matchbox" style boxes are so fun to decorate!!!! I grabbed another stack of watermelons I had colored, and used them for my inspiration!!! I am REALLY going to have a hard time giving this one away....
I am not sure I could have made this any cuter!!! The color combo of Granny Apple Green and Polished Pink, paired with good old Black, White, and Silver...well, let's just say that this is not going to be the last time you see this!!! WOWSERS... I LOVE IT!
I love all the fun little details. I just hope that I can find something good enough to put in it to make it worthy of the packaging! LOL.
