Yesterday I shared my version of the July Paper Pumpkin – thanks a latte kit. Here is a card that I made for a challenge (but due to computer issues I missed the deadline) that used the DSP from the kit. The challenge was to use basic grey, pool party and daffodil delight. As I mentioned yesterday, I liked the DSP and so I wanted to feature it on a card.

I started with the piece of DSP and cut a piece of daffodil delight cardstock just an 1/8 inch larger in each dimension. This was then adhered to a regular sized card base of pool party. I used the greetings thinlits dies to cut out that thanks in all three colours so that I could really see what was going to work best and that somehow resulted in the decision to use two of the different colours on the card. I glued the pool party thanks to the daffodil delight one but offset it slightly so that it is visible even when looking at it straight on. I then cut a banner out of basic grey about the right size to hold the thanks and used the new triple banner punch to cut the end. It was then very simple to create a pool party banner to border this. I decided to really push my boundaries and have the banner hanging over the edge of the DSP; this is popped up on stampin’ dimensionals to really make it stand out on the card.

Don’t forget to spread the word – Stampin’ Up! is going to donate to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation; $1 for each active Paper Pumpkin subscriber and $2 for each new subscriber as at October 10th. Did you sign up yet?

See you tomorrow,
