This weeks featured card is made using the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series paper and the Elegantly Said stamp set by Stampin’ Up. Because Specialty paper is a little more expensive than our normal DSP, the card I feature in the free pdf file download only uses a 3″ square of it. This paired with some silver embossing powder for the background made a stunning card.

Don’t forget to download the free PDF file which contains all the measurements and materials needed to make this card.

I did make a change to the pdf file this week. I decided to change the margins so that instead of cutting the paper in half and then punching holes to put it in a half size binder, I made it so that it can simply be folded in half and then punch holes on the non folded side. I have also put the sample card on the left side so that it can be seen first as you flip through your binder instead of the card sketch. I hope this change works for you.

My Cards using May’s Paper Pumpkin Kit

I usually make the monthly Paper Pumpkin kit exactly as designed but this month I looked at a few other designs on Pinterest and then created my own version of the cards. I made three each of the cards in the picture above and even stamped the envelopes. Everything is pretty self explanatory by looking at the picture, but I did cut one piece. The red die cut piece with yellow stripes, was cut so that I had a 2 3/8″ square piece for the blue striped card and what was left of the die cut went on the Crumb Cake card in the middle of the picture.  I also added Soft Suede Ink for some of the stamping.
