Hugs from Shelli - Card & Matching gift tag

Welcome to today's post! I'm so glad you joined me!

So, I'm a Paper Pumpkin (PP) subscriber and the May 2019 Kit - Hugs from Shelli has been my absolute favorite!!! Isn't that stamp set just lovely?!!

Even though we're already in July, I barely had the pleasure of putting together my PP kit. Usually, the supplies that Stampin' UP! provides in the kit contains a little more than you need to create your projects. I took advantage of using my leftover supplies to create this cute matching tag with one of the cards. I used the Stitched Nested Label die and trimmed off one side to have a flat bottom.

I didn't veer from the original design of the cards because I love them just the way they were designed. Thankfully, the Paper Pumpkin kits allow you to be as versatile as you'd like.

I do, however, like to finish off the inside of my cards to match the front. I simply matted a piece of very vanilla cardstock with a piece of pretty peacock cardstock then stamped the feather image with pretty peacock and early espresso as shown below.

My friend and co-worker had the unfortunate loss of her father this past week. Naturally, I wanted to design a special card for her to express my sincere and heartfelt sympathy.

My first thought was to use a stamp set that I hadn't had the opportunity to use, the Lovely Lattice stamp set from the 2019 Sale-a-bration catalog. I wanted to pair this stamp with some Purple Posy, my favorite In-Color!

It's hard to capture all the shimmer I added to this card so the pictures don't do it justice. I do love everything about this card!

Below are the supplies I used for this project.
