Today I’m going to share the tutorial showing how to make this card. This is usually only available to my Paper Pumpkin subscribers. Here’s your free tutorial.

Each month my Paper Pumpkin peeps get two alternative projects they can make in addition to what comes in the box.

Join my husband, Steve, and I as we put together a Paper Pumpkin with you and chat  via Zoom each month.  I also offer two Paper Pumpkin alternative tutorials each month.  This is available to everyone who purchases their Paper Pumpkin through me.

If you’ve ever joined our live videos on YouTube and FB on Tuesdays at 7pm CT, you’ll know my husband, Steve, is fun to hang out with! Every month Steve and I do a Zoom call to chat and put together a Paper Pumpkin. It’s super fun and I hope you’ll join us. You can purchase one Paper Pumpkin Box or save money and get a subscription. At the bottom of this post you can see all the options and order them from my online store or you can sign up here.

I’m on the Festive Friday design Team and this week’s challenge #FF0141 is National Beach Day which is August 30th.

Where is your favorite beach? Please let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear all about it. 🙂

My favorite beach is in Cayman Brac. We go there for a couple weeks in the winter so Steve can scuba dive.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about National Beach Day – at all! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us! From the Inspo List I used pastel colors, texture, sand and umbrella.

Please hop along to the rest of the Design Team’s awesome creations.

Let Your Colors Shine

Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Beth McCullough from the USA. I hope you enjoy my Let Your Colors Shine project.

Stampin Up Team Sampler created by the Stamping Mom's Joy Team.  Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/let-your-colors-shine #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

My Stamping Mom’s Joy Team does a 3″ x 3″ Sampler Swap at least four times per year. In order for a dozen or more people to independently make a square and have them all coordinate into a beautiful Sampler, color is very important! For this Sampler we chose all the new In- Colors Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya and Evening Evergreen. We also added So Saffron, Soft Sea Foam and Highland Heather, Basic Black and Basic White. I added a 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ layer to each square and adhered them to a 12″ x 12″ sheet of Basic White Cardstock. The frame is from Michael’s Craft store. If you have any questions, please leave a comment or contact me at Beth@StampingMom.com

We typically have more than nine participants, so what do we do with the extra squares? Pop it on a card front and you have another card ready to mail just like that! I turned the square I made for the Sampler Swap into the card above.
I hope the projects you’ve seen here on my blog today have inspired you & brightened your day. Please see the list below & hop through all of the people on the list to see all our projects. You don’t want to miss any!”

The Quiet Meadow Bundle is beautiful and so versatile. The cute little tag and “thank you” came from the Hydrangea Haven Bundle. It would be fun to make several of these in different colors to make a gift set.
