Stationery Holder Hostess Customer Gift

I'm sharing something special today...a hostess gift for a customer.  This stationery holder is a throwback project.  I used one sheet of Pool Party Cardstock to create the stationery holder which holds three thank you cards and envelopes.  The Pool Party Cardstock looks amazing against the black and white leaf pattern from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper.  Cards were all created using the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set.  More details on the cards and the stationery holder below.

Card Details:

• White Cardstock card base:  4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2"
• Pattern Party DSP (2 pieces):  5-1/2" x 3/8" (black & white strip), 5-1/2" x 3-3/4" (Granny Apple, Misty Moonlight and Crushed Curry) 
• Sunflower from Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set is stamped in Basic Gray Ink
• The "Thanks a Bunch" sentiment from Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set was stamped with Versamark Ink on Black Cardstock and embossed with White Embossing Powder

Stationery Holder Details:

• Pool Party Cardstock - stationery holder:  10-1/4" x 8-1/2" 
• Scored with 8-1/2" side at the top at 6"

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Alternative Projects - Haunts & Harvest September 2021

Today I am sharing some alternative projects made using the September 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Haunts & Harvest.  I used the Double Oval Punch to create the pumpkin and I sponged the edges with Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes to give the pieces more definition.

Card Details:

• Soft Succulent Cardstock card base:  5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-14"
• Soft Succulent Cardstock layer:  5" x 3-3/4", embossed using Wintry 3D Embossing Folder
• Pumpkin was made from the pieces form the paper pumpkin kit - punched with the Double Oval Punch and the Strawberry Builder Punch.. the long stem was cut by hand.
