Whisper If you’ve been following my blog for the past few days, you’ve seen the cards that I have been making with the March Paper Pumpkin Kit, No Matter the Weather. First I made the note cards (5” x 3 1/2” cards) following the directions in the Paper Pumpkin kit. And I stepped it up a little and and used the card fronts to make bigger cards (5 1/2” x 4 1/4”). You can see that post here: No Matter the Weather – Paper Pumpkin
March’s kit came with an extra stamp set, so yesterday I shared a few cards made with that stamp set. You can see those cards here: A Few More – No Matter the Weather
And I promised that I would share a few cards using the envelopes to make a few cards. Because I had used just the card fronts to make bigger cards in my first post, the envelopes that came with the cards were too small for the cards. So I had extra notecard size envelopes. I decided to put them to good use.
These are the envelopes that come with the kit. The outside is white but the inside is printed with a striped design that comes in three colors – So Saffron, Shaded Spruce and Grapefruit Grove.
I decided to carefully take apart the envelopesand then cut them up to use the pretty stripes in a card.
This is the first card that I made. I just had to make some more of the those flowered boots! I think that is my favorite stamp in the set.
When it came time to cut the next envelope, I did a little more cutting and actually was able to make two cards. The first card I used a small strip along the bottom and then used some of the decorative images in the Paper Pumpkin kit to finish off the card.
I still had enough to put a piece behind a piece of Whisper White Cardstock that I embossed with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder. And….there was enough to stamp on and cut out a pair of striped boots using my Paper Snips.
Sometimes it’s fun to let your imagination take over and use supplies that you might otherwise stick in a drawer waiting for the right size card. I hope you will look through your leftover supplies and look for ways to use them up!
