Box of Sunshine

Everyone could use a little bit of sunshine in their lives right now.  So, today I have a Box of Sunshine I want to share with you!  It's the June 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit and it's full of bright and cheery card ideas!

The first thing I do when I receive the kit is to make the cards based on the designs as featured in the kit.  I have noticed the kits seem to always contain extra items to play with, so there are lots of opportunities for me to get creative and make additional cards later.  Besides, it's really fun to be able to just sit and create without all of the fuss of coming up with the designs, right???

So the first 4 cards I created are the designs from the June Box of Sunshine kit.  Quick and simple card ideas.  I simply organized all of the supplies and stamped my greetings first.  Once that was complete, it took me about 15 minutes to put all of the cards together. . . instant gratification!







The next card ideas I have to share showcase some of the fun ways to use the leftover supplies from the kit.  Of course, I added a few of my own supplies such as cardstock and patterned paper.  There were pineapples, lemons and sunshine shapes leftover after putting together the cards from the kitl.  So, here are the fun cards I made:




I used a small flower punch to punch out these flowers from a piece of watercolor paper that I had painted with my Aqua Brush using Bumblebee, Poppy Parade, Bermuda Bay and Just Jade inks. 





A watercolor wash on Shimmery White cardstock.


This was a fun one!  I used my Score Board to score lines across the white card front.  Next I used SU Blends (or you could use markers) inside each scoremark.  I died a piece of ribbon to match the pineapple.
