Over my blogging years, I have had the privilege to know a woman by the name of Pumpkin! She is very crafty but the thing that she is passionate about is making cards. Today, can you imagine my shock as I opened a package from her and found the following? She knows I’m a spaz for anything related to marine life. I love these cards so much I might have to put them in a frame. I don’t know if I could part with one of them!
3D fish and seashell at the bottom. Love the school of fish and his 3D bubbles coming from his mouth. The edge details are made by using glitter pen.
3D Fishies on a very colorful background. 3D fish bubbles and 3D glittery seaweed at the bottom. The fish outline is adorable and made with a colorful glittery pen too!
SCHWEET SCHWEET! Look at this big sea turtle. What you cannot see from a simple scan of this card: Mr. Turtle is 3D and raised, he also has 3D air bubbles and the seaweed in this card is glitterfied 
Gosh, I LOVE GLITTER! Love the accent drawn around the card, it’s done with a glitter pen.
Two sweet sea horses. What you cannot see from the picture are the different textiles used to create this card. Thick glitter stock for their bodies and googly eyes. The seaweed is 3D and she uses glitter pen around the edges. Their fins are also 3D.
YOU WANT MORE? Ok, here ya go!
Above is a more nature themed card with 3D butterfly- her purple floral accents are beautiful, metallic, and glittery.
This scan turned out good but what you cannot see is the iridescent skirt this little fairy is wearing!
Look at her flowers- they remind me of gigantic sun flowers that are pink; we should have those in real life! Oh so cute!
Last but not least, a floral design. Both sets tied with pretty ribbon just for ME!
All of these cards are 3D which is hard to see by just a simple scan of them. Some stickers were used to create these cards but her favorite type of card to make is an Iris folded card that she learned from her Aunt. What she is known for are her “Iris” hand folded greeting cards, looks like she’s even getting ready to post a tutorial soon Happiness! Thank you again Mel! I love my cards and will cherish them!

These cards are wonderful!! This girl is so talented, I’m happy to see someone spreading the word….the nominal charge for these cards goes a long way, I know, every little bit helps and you can tell she enjoys what she does. Help with marketing, this is exactly what Melanie needs. Her work is fabulous!!
