It's WEDNESDAY!!! :D I'm so glad you came back again to see this Paper Pumpkin from July!!!
Every single one of these cards came with wood details to put on the cards. Washi tape - which I used in a way new to me, so that was cool. :D
This kit came with the Stampin' Spot, the stamps, the Washi Tape, the diecuts, and everything ready to stamp on or stick on or whatever it needed for two of each design! It took me a while, because I'm used to designing my own projects - but the directions that come with the cards make it super-simple, too. :)
OK, by the time you read this, I'll have just gotten home. :) So, as it is, I'm gonna jet and finish getting ready to leave. :D
Since we're leaving in the middle of last week (Sometimes, doing this scheduled blogging stuff is like a time-travel puzzle!!!!), I wanted to feature something that would be easy to show you - and BOY, is Paper Pumpkin gonna fit that bill - for you, too!!!
This is the kit, all put together MY WY, from June. DO YOU SEE HOW ADORABLE THIS IS?!?!??! I mean, look at that watermelon tissue paper inside the bag!!! Each bag comes with its own piece of that adorable tissue paper. I can eat my weight in watermelon, which is saying something! :D So give me something watermelon-themed as a CRAFT, and I am a VERY happy crafter. :D
Y'all, the kit comes with EVERYTHING you need to do the entire box - except continuing clear blocks. Your FIRST box will come with it, and from then on, that's the only thing you need to supply. I have six gift bags ready at a moment's notice, PLUS gift cards! Seriously. It doesn't get easier than Paper Pumpkin.
Don't like the way they did a project (Which I have felt a few times!)? Use the product to do your own thing! Not only does Stampin' Up!® put out a video to show how to put these together, but there are several demos who put out alternative ideas for each month's Paper Pumpkin.
If you're interested about learning more, or perhaps ordering - and there are discounts for paying for numbers of months in advance - just click on this sentence, and scroll to the bottom to Paper Pumpkin! (If you do order, please choose me as your demonstrator! :D)
OK, now back to packing and finishing my to-do lists. :D Have a wonderful day, and DO think about this Paper Pumpkin thing. It's a blast!
Today's card is for another challenge - by the Paper Craft Crew. It was "Butterflies andDragonflies", using either one. I decided to go REALLY bold! :)
I used three different stamps from the Label Me Pretty stamp set, as well as the punch. Overachiever! :D Seriously, though, it's REALLY easy. The most difficult part? Poking all the pieces of the butterfly die out!
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Black Momento
Card Stock: Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Basic Black, Vellum Cardstock
Additional: Sponge Dauber, Black EP, Heat Tool, Butterflies Thinlits, Dimensionals and Mini Dimensionals, Multi Purpose Glue
See?!??! It really doesn't get much simpler. My mom loved both cards this week - she adores anything YELLOW. :D
So, I'm outta here!!! I have a wedding to attend! Have a wonderful, fun weekend, and be sure to take a little time to stamp something! :)
Isn't this ADORABLE?!?!?!? Sorry that I used retired Cherry Cobbler baker's twine on the frint of the label, but it DOES come in other colors... :D (See page 199 in the IBC.) But this is FAST packaging at its prettiest!
Of course, you don't HAVE to use this label from the stamp set - if you chose another, you could use this box for gifting LOTS of other small gifts! Quick and EASY!!!!
Ink: Cherry Cobbler
Card stock: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler (1/2" strip all around the box)
Additioinal: Baker's Twine, Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker (difficult to see, but it's there!), Dimensionals, Multi Purpose Glue, Clear Tiny Treat Boxes
I just put some homemade fudge Mom had in the freezer into it, and hey, presto! a great little gift! :)
OK, I'm outta here - time to finish packing! :D Have a great day - and be SURE to make the time to stamp SOMEthing! :D

Take the time to STAMP something! :)
P.S. HAPPY ECLIPSE DAY!!! :D
Well, here it is, Friday - and I did all three days, just as I promised. :D (That is, if Blogger posts as I have scheduled them...! :D ) I didn't mean to, but I used a retired box to do this with. I bed your pardon. :D I will try and use something more current soon... :D
SO very simple! I mixed a little clear embossing powder with Dazzling Diamonds glitter for the embossing on the ornaments all the way around the box.
Card stock: Whisper White
Ink: Versamark, Whisper White
Stamp set: Carols of Christmas
Accessories: Gold foil sheets, Stampin' Write markers (Real Red and Old Olive), Gold and clear embossing powders, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Heat Tool, Embossing Buddy, Fast Fuse
SO simple to make great packaging! If you've got a box you want to cover, you could use Crumb Cake panels that are cut the same size as the sides of your box. I wanted simple, but elegant. And I LOVE holly! :D
Enjoy your weekend! Why don't you put your Stampin' Up!® order together, and contact me? :D Or go to my business site, and click the SHOP NOW tab. Be SURE and make the time to STAMP something! :)
Good morning! I promised I'd continue with the samples; this is one I did because I already had the stars cut from gold foil and Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I wanted to show that the Card Front Builder Thinlits could be used easily with other things - and I wanted a simple card to show off the complexity of that gold star cut. I really love how CLEAN this design is.
Card stock: Whisper White, Night of Navy
Ink: Versamark
Stamp set: Star of Light
Accessories: Starlight Thinlits, Card Front Builder Thinlits, Big Shot, White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Embossing Buddy, Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper, Gold foil sheets, SNAIL, Mini Dimensionals
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!!! And make sure to take the time to stamp SOMETHING! :D
Hi, everyone! YES, I know it's been a long time since I blogged. Turns out, I've been getting really ill for a while. I'm feeling better, and it's almost my favorite time of the year - so I'm going to try to blog a little more often. :D
As a matter of fact, my goal for this week is to get 3 posts up - all because it's the Holiday Mini preview! YOU can purchase a tiny taste of the new Mini!
Stampin' Up!® has made a video to show you a little more about this bundle...
It's a REALLY fun bundle....
And the possibilities are endless. I have, however, managed to come up with three different samples to show you. this first one is completely this bundle; be SURE and come back the rest of this week to find new samples!
Card stock: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Garden Green, Soft Suede
Ink: Cherry Cobbler
Stamp set: Carols of Christmas
Accessories: Card Front Builder Thinlit Dies, Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Embossing Paste, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, SNAIL, Mini Dimensionals
It's so very, very easy to make a beautiful card with just a few things! :) I had to do the embossing paste - I've been watching some other demos demonstrate via video some different little things, and I love the texture and sparkle this added.
Next up: mixing up thinlits to make another beautiful, simple card! Stay tuned - and be sure to make the time to STAMP something! :D
