July Paper Pumpkin

The older I get the more I love anything with glitz!   The more sparkle and shine, the better!



Let's make a card that sparkles!

You need your July Paper Pumpkin kit, card stock in Whisper White, Flirty Flamingo, and Emerald Envy.  Ink pads in Flirty Flamingo and Emerald Envy.  Glitter paper ( I bought copper glitter paper from Hobby Lobby), Stampin Up dimensionals, and Fast Fuse adhesive.

Cut your card base from the Flirty Flamingo and/or Emerald Envy.  Cut 8-1/2"  by 5-1/2"  and score at 4-1/4".   Cut Whisper White at 3-3/4" by 5" for the front of the card.

Using one of the smaller tags in the kit, trace the gem shape onto scrap of Whisper White card stock.  Punch hole in upper left corner.

Take one of the larger boxes from the kit and cut it up along the score lines.  This will give you numerous triangles.



Lay one of the box triangles on the glitter paper and cut the glitter paper leaving a border around the box triangle.  Using Fast Fuse, glue the triangle to the glitter piece.

Using Flirty Flamingo and Emerald Envy, stamp various gem shapes onto the Whisper White card stock.  With Flirty Flamingo, stamp sentiment onto gem shape.  Sponge edges with Flirty Flamingo ink.

Cut strip of glitter paper to measure 3/8" by 5" and adhere to top and bottom of stamped Whisper White sheet.  Adhere strip of glitter paper to top and bottom of this piece.  With dimensionals, adhere triangle piece to front.  Tie a piece of the twine from the kit around this piece.  Thread the tag onto the twine and tie it.  Then fringe the edges.  Add a dimensional under the tag.  Now adhere this to your card base.



For the inside, I thought it only befitting to add another gem to this card.  So I drew a diamond shape.  Traced it on a piece of Whisper White card stock and stamped it with the background stamp from the kit and added a sentiment as well.



Like I said, one can never have enough sparkle!   



Bling on my Paper Pumpkin Peeps!
