This month’s kit-to go features the Hello Harvest Bundle and the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper from the Stampin’ Up! July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. One of the cards is this Hello Harvest Fun Fold card. The fun fold is the book binding fold variation has been rotated so that it opens from bottom to top. Since I choose one of the black and white designer series papers as my base layer, I decided to keep the pumpkin white and bring in additional color by coloring the floral spray for the top of the pumpkin. I think it was a great choice! What do you think?

Earlier this week, the Playtime with Paper team met for our quarterly meeting. Part of the meeting focused on practicing different coloring techniques. One technique was to use Blender Pens with ink pads for coloring and shading. The Honeybee Home gift tag was the end product. When learning to color with Blender Pens, I recommend selecting a simple design and limiting the number of ink colors. This helps prevent becoming overwhelmed! By using the elements from the Honeybee Home Stamp Set, it was easy to practice coloring and shading. And since I am a fan of making gift tags, using the Tailor Made Tags to cut a base for the images made it a quick project to complete. Below is the list of materials and a video with coloring tips plus tag assembly.
Here’s another option for the gift tag…add it to the front of a note card.

Let’s have some fun with the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. You’ll find the decorative masks on page 65 in the Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up! It’s easy to overlook them but don’t! There’s lots you can do with the masks to create a variety of card fronts. I have created samples using two different Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative masks. Plus, you’ll see two different options for using the masks. One option uses a large floral mask to create a focal point for a card front and the other option uses the repeating small flower design to create a background. A list of materials for creating the cards is below, as well as, an assembly video. You’ll see how easy it is to create beautiful cards with the decorative masks.
