Paper Pumpkin Birthday

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. 

I was online checking out the Windows 10 ending and decided to hop over to my Blog and create another post. That's 3 days in a row for me. I have lots of cards to show and I intend to stay very active on my Blog. 

But speaking of the end of Windows 10. After some research I discovered that Microsoft is offering extended security updates for Windows 10 through October 2026. I enrolled in it. They will provide security updates only and that was good enough for me. 

I wasn't ready to add Windows 11 to my Desktop computer since I have a laptop with Windows 11. I mainly use the desktop for my Blog and financial banking. 

Now onto my card for today. This one I created using the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #1071. I was the hostess and my color choices were Pretty in Pink, Bubble Bath and Mossy Meadow. Optional was gold dots or sequins.

For my card I used the contents of the Stampin' Up Dec 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit - "Notes from the Heart" and created an alternative design from what the kit called for. With these Kits from Stampin' Up you get everything you need to create cards. Sometimes I make the kits according to directions and other times I will use the contents and create an alternative design. 

I started my card by stamping a background. I used 3 different Stampin' Up sets and stamped on white cardstock. I just realized that I have no bubble bath ink, so I substituted pink pirouette. The stamped background is layered on a bubble bath cardstock base.

The pretty in pink floral image is from the Kit as are the vellum leaves.

I stamped the happy birthday sentiment on one of the labels from the Kit. I embossed a piece of bubble bath cardstock and added it under the label.

I added a gold cord bow and gold dots from the Kit. Well, that's it for me for this post. So, until next time.......God bless.
