I haven't been this excited about a Paper Pumpkin in a long time... February's Paper Pumpkin was called Lovely Day (refills are still available for Paper Pumpkin subscribers!)
What's really fun is that the stamps help to complete or "fill in" some of the pre-printed images- like the flower outline completes the already watercolored image and the three stripes help fill in the cake!

I really love the envelopes, the copper thickers, and the pretty shiny pink sequins!
These projects came together really easy -- partly because I found some inspirational pieces. The first was a fun giftcard from Starbucks that had the EXACT same stripe colors as the card and envelope liner! I knew I wanted to make a fun giftcard holder but still make it mailable.
I trimmed the card to 4 3/4 inches long, added the Pretty Peacock tab punched piece, and stamped the cake a little different... I used the stamps to "fill" the cake and just stamped off once on my grid paper to create the lighter "LOVELY"!
For the card, I used a small piece of a special paper that everyone will have access to on March 3rd! It's called Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper and you can earn it for FREE with a $50 order. I colored the flower with a few Blend markers (Rich Razzleberry, Petal Pink, and Old Olive). I love all that shimmer and shine!
Here are the two projects together!!
Don't forget to keep hopping along...
And maybe consider subscribing to Paper Pumpkin for March-- you get an extra stamp set on top of the normal one- as we celebrate one more year of Paper Pumpkin!!
Happy crafting,
