2017 was a great year for Paper Pumpkin! So join me and talk a ride down memory lane … Your carriage awaits! Watch this to take a look back at all the great kits we released in 2017!
Which was your favorite? I have to say … Stampin’ Up! kicked off the year right with the January 2017 Paper Pumpkin: Adorning Arrows – 16 cute little Valentine boxes, but I only have 12 grandchildren to I made this cute card ….
Oh man … I like so many of them and who can resist those little “Bunny Buddies” in March! I added note cards and tucked them in the bag, and a full size card on this one ….
And what about our June 2017 “One in a Melon” … that was so fun to make into cards, and the kids just loved the bags!!
I even used the stamps that were included in the kit to stamp my “Stampin’ Rewards” notifications!!
Can’t keep going without another favorite ….July 2017 and the “Positively Picturesque” …
I will say however, that Autumn is my favorite time of year so I could not resist the beautiful kit they put together for September: “Layered Leaves” …
and my favorite card of them all …
The rest of the year was just as fun and beautiful with the shaker cards in October and Stockings in November … Loved ’em!! We’ve come a long way baby and the Paper Pumpkins are bigger and better than ever before.

I am sorry I’ve been away a few days, as many of you know, my Mom has been in Hospice for the past month and on Monday our Lord carried her back home. She has been freed from her pain and resides in the house of the Lord with her parents, brothers and loving daughter. So if I miss a day or two, please excuse me … however she was one of my biggest fans and loved to see the cards that we made ❤

Yes, I took the day off yesterday, that is one benefit of having your own business ❤ So I’m back today with a super cute -n- quick card to you!
This month my Stampin’ Clubs are working with the Petal Passion Product Suite and the coordination Designer Paper, so I used another pattern from it and sponged “turquoise” on it giving it the “Ombre” look … I did mine from dark to light!
I couldn’t resist using those darling Pandas from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set “Party Pandas” ….
Aren’t they just the cutest little guys you’ve ever seen!? Love them … and speaking of love, the greeting is included with the stamp set and they can be yours for FREE!! With a $50 purchase (before s&h) you can choose this or other exclusive stamps & product from our Sale-A-Bration catalog.
I punched out the greeting with the new Scallop punches found on page 17 of the Occasions Catalog.

I know you just received your Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs however we still have some great stamp sets and accessories in our Annual catalog, so today I want to share with you a cute project that is on my website’s Idea Page!!
Let me introduce you to the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set …

With sentiments for any occasion and countless ways to combine the floral images, this set will help you create beautiful bouquets that live on forever.
Stampin’ Up! teamed up this fabulous bundle with a familiar product – the Mini Treat bag to create this cute little project …
Recognize the Designer Paper? It’s one of the patterns from the Delightful Daisy package. I know many of you already have this designer paper! And who doesn’t love these cute little treat bags … so much FUN!! What a great combination 🙂
I love going through the new catalogs, so many great items and ideas but lets not forget how awesome our annual catalog is too. I will try to incorporate some of the past goodies with the awesome new stuff … can’t go wrong creating with that plan!
I thank you for dropping in on me today to check out my blog. I’ll be working on some new creations for you.
Today I’m back with 2 super cute, super easy cards that you can create with the new Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper stack! I made this easy peasy card with the candle pattern and the Happy Birthday Thinlet …
I used Bermuda Bay and Basic Black cardstock to create the big bold birthday wish on this card. I glued the two pieces together but “off set” them so you get the shadow effect which really makes the greeting pop!
My second card I used the designer paper with the circles on it. I really wanted to make this a FUN card so I used the Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock and Ribbon …
I also used a touch of black cardstock to mat my designer paper and to cut the “celebrate” greeting. The “YOU” is cut with the Silver Foil paper to create the focal point, and it coordinates with a couple of the dots on the designer paper.
The die cut greetings are an exclusive item that you can get FREE with a qualifying purchase. The Celebrate You thinlets dies are in our Sale-a-bration catalog and it’s our biggest and most fun promotion of the year… Seriously, who doesn’t like FREE stamps and / or accessories … and NOW Thinlets!!
Hope you enjoyed todays Birthday cards … we can never have too many of those.

I have an announcement for you …
Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon Removed
The Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon (145502) due to issues with the manufacturer we have continued to experience delays in production. As a result, Stampin’ Up! decided the best course of action for all of us and the company is to remove this item from our product offering.
We know many of you—just like us—were eagerly anticipating the release of this product. We want you to know how sorry we are about this turn of events. Although Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon won’t be available, we have some good news: We’ve got many other ribbons that are available. With your creative minds, we know you’ll still be able to create the perfect card!
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
With that said … there is plenty of awesome products in this suite, so stop back tomorrow for my Two for Tuesday and I’ll share with you what I’ve come up with.
I’m back with a fun, quick card that I whipped together using my December 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit! This is really a versatile kit … and I love the die cut card fronts, makes them so easy to pull a card together (if you want to change it up a bit).
I turned the card sideways (as it was designed to be a vertical card) because I knew I wanted to create a “celebration” type card to be used for birthdays or congrats, or just to cheer someone up!
Everything I used was included in the kit except the balloons … I punched out the turquoise one from the Myths & Magic Glimmer paper and created my own Berry Burst by sponging the color onto the White Glimmer included in the kit!! Even the Bakers Twine and banner were included in the kit!

Wooo Hooo … I’m back in business (Yes, I had to buy a new camera) It will be nice to have a back up and this is a cute little slim one that will fit nicely in my purse!
Today I will finally get to share those two cards with you that I promised in “grey & pink”. I used Smoky Slate stamped on Smoky Slate for the background and also on the Whisper White.
I used an old photography technique where I added a touch of color (highlight) one flower which creates your focal point. It is delicate and so pretty… Wink of Stella was used in the center of the flower.
I simply used the Stampin’ Up! image to dictate where and how much color I added … just keep coloring over an area that has more grey.
The layout is similar to the Eggplant Envy card (which was my plan) and I used another greeting from the stamp set and punched it out with the circle punches.
My next card …
This card has the same layout but is now created as a vertical style card. Again the main flower is colored with a marker but not only did I add Wink of Stella to the center, but the entire flower!
I added a few rhinestones to draw your eye across the card and maintain that touch of sparkle to the card.
Glad you hung out with me until I could share the cards …
Today I had my “Smoky Slate & Pink” Heartfelt Blooms card for you … in fact, I had 2, however my camera decided that it wasn’t going to open the lens for me (it appears to have something spilled on it… YIKES) so I’ll be looking to get it fixed and a new one in it’s place for a back up!
So today I will share with you the benefits of ….

How are you doing this fine day? I’m excited to share with you a card I created using the beautiful Heartfelt Blooms stamp set that I introduced you to yesterday.
I knew I wanted to try out this stamp -n- ink in Elegant Eggplant. My background is Elegant Eggplant ink onto Elegant Eggplant cardstock … I’ve always like the color on color technique. A simple card but Elegant … as our color states!
Image this card made in your favorite color … I think anyone of our colors would be awesome. Hmmmm … what about a Smoky Slate with a touch of pink … stop back tomorrow, I’ll have it ready for you!
Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive Heartfelt Blooms Stamp Set was made with our patent-pending Distinktive style, which lays down the ink at different opacities, giving the finished image more depth.
