Well I’m up to my Paper Pumpkin March 2016 Alternate number 4. This one is just using stamping rather than re-purposing any of the DSP. And after Rebecca’s enthusiastic comments about Cucumber Crush, I decided to use that colour again today.

I used post it tape to mask the area that I wanted to stamp and then it occurred to me that it would be a little irritating if I messed up the sentiment after stamping all the leaves and flowers. So I peeled up the post it tape and stamped the sentiment. Of course it was fine! Then I set about using cucumber crush and rich razzleberry and two of the little stamps from the Paper Pumpkin, Pocketful of Cheer stamp set. I really like having the images continue over the edges so that it looks as if this is just part of a large piece of paper. One word of warning however – the ink doesn’t dry as quickly on the post it tape so be careful about getting it on your fingers and then on the card.

This was a lot of fun to make, I think I’ll play with the post it tape more often. It’s a permanent fixture on my desk so that shouldn’t be difficult – I use it as a holder for my multipurpose glue. It’s especially handy to have the glue upside down as you get towards the end of the pot and the post it tape holder works perfectly.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that the sentiment came from last month’s Paper Pumpkin kit, Hello Sunshine. This design really called for a single line sentiment and nothing in this month’s kit worked.

See you tomorrow,
