Paper Pumpkin, Halloween Edition

Hi, y'all! :D I thought I'd show you that PP isn't all about making cards; it comes with LOTS of things to play with, and you can do them EXACTLY as you're shown in the easy-to-follow instructions, OR you can use the goodies plus some of your own supplies to crate whateve you want. Today. I'm gonna basically unbox it, and show you the six I did exactly like the instructions - I don't have that many kids in my life, so I don't need twenty! :D

 Here, I've peeled back the tissue paper it comes wrapped in the box in, and removed the Stampin' Spot and the stamp set. What you see on the bottom is the instruction flyer, with a full-color finished product photo. SO cute!

Wrapped along with the instructions is EVERYTHING you see here. SO much fun stuff. See the printed treat bags?!?!?











And here are my six. My personal taste? I don't like to use all the twine and ribbon. It starts to look cluttered - but I do like it on these!

What do you think?






TODAY is the last day of the flash sale!!!!! Go check it out while you still can!!!

Thanks for stamping with me. :D Take the time to stamp SOMEthing!!!!!

PAPER PUMPKIN final post for the week! :D

Here we are, at Friday - and up to THIS MONTH'S Paper Pumpkin! I like this one a lot. I've said that about every one, haven't I. :D

This month's came with that GORGEOUS card box - it's so sturdy, with an acrylic lid! - and the beautiful grosgrain ribbon tied around it. The selection of cards included "CONGRATS"" but I have a lot of those in my stash, and I don't need them as often as thank-yous and sympathy, unfortunately, so that's what I made all my cards. There are two designs of four types, so 8 cards - AND envelopes! - altogether. LOTS of die cuts, stamps, stickers, and you get to choose how you want to use them. :) I had a great time getting to partially design this Paper Pumpkin. :D

Thank you for joining me for all the Paper Pumpkin goings-on this week! I hope you enjoyed seeing finished projects. I think this subscription box is SO worth the fee!!!

ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!! Take time to check out Paper Pumpkin! :D

Paper Pumpkin, Post 2

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

Have a wonderful day! Check out Paper Pumpkin!!!

It's PAPER PUMPKIN in the spotlight this week!

Welcome to MONDAY!!!!

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!

Another sweet CASE!

Happy Monday!

What a BUSY weekend! And with trying to start packing, stamping is starting to have to be fit into little holes in the day. :D What better way than to do another SUDSOL challenge with a 2.5"-square card???

Since I've got my Simply Scored, I know I can make envelopes whenever I need to. So making odd-sized cards doesn't intimidate me!

Although the original card with this was made with the new pinwheel die, I don't have it. I decided to do it the old-fashioned way - and I think it turned out OK. :D The DSP is SUMMER SMOOCHES; the "hello" stamp is from PRETTY PETITES, and is free and available only through SALE-A-BRATION!!! Super simple, and super cute, IMHO! :D

I also want to urge you to take a look at PAPER PUMPKIN. If you don't have the time or the space to stamp, this is the monthly kit you want! Don't forget to choose me as your demonstrator! :) You can try it out, you can decide you don't want it for a certain month - check out the link, and if you have questions, please let me know! :)

OK, I'm outta here. Have a wonderful day - and be SURE to MAKE the time to stamp something!!!!
