January Paper Pumpkin Adoring Arrows

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

The other day I shared the January 2017 Paper Pumpkin video with you (posted below for you to watch again) so today I want to share some really cute alternative projects that can be created from this kit.

This information comes from the Get Inspired blog by Stampin’ Up …

Your January kit comes with

  • 24 tiny treat bags
  • 8 photopolymer stamps
  • 1 Calypso Coral Classic Stampin’ Spot
  • 5 sheets of die-cut banners and hearts
  • 3 sheets striped vellum banners
  • 4 sheets of gold foil heart stickers
  • 24 mini arrows
  • 12 yds of gold thread
  • 75 dimensionals
  • 200 adhesive dots

 

And, all of it adds up to ONE amazing Adoring Arrows kit that will capture all the hearts!

Jan_PP

This kit has sure captured our hearts, no arrows from Cupid required. And, in case you weren’t already in love, here are some more projects to adore.

Jan_PP_Alt_1

First up, here’s another way to assemble the bag, in case you need more room for extra love (and chocolate)! You have everything you need to make this inside your kit, except the cute crinkle paper.

Next, add a little tag to your Valentine’s Day gifts. It’s simple when you use the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and contents from your kit. Stamp a sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink to create a standout statement.

Finally, if you need a little more room to write that note to someone you love and adore, try this card. It’s simple and stunning with a pop of gold from one of our Metallic Foil Doilies.

Simply Sunday: A Merry Christmas

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Sorry for the delay … I don’t think I”m going to get the option of waiting until January to get my new computer!

But let’s get to the fun part!!  Yesterday you got a chance to see the new November 2016 Paper Pumpkin and as promised I am going to show you a little bit different version!

It’s always fun to open up the box each month and discover what resides inside!  I was happy to see the beautiful die cuts, but loved that we got 2 stampin’ spots and a really nice stamp set!

000_3834

Not sure if you could tell by the video yesterday, but these are “Note Card”size cards, which are perfect for gift giving, but if you’d like to turn these into beautiful cards to send … I have a simple answer for you.

000_3836

I simply added a Island Indigo mat to the layered card (skipped the vellum) and embossed the 1/2 of what used to be the card!  I then mounted that onto a Pool Party card base. I chose the Island Indigo mat to coordinate with my greeting.

There’s nothing simpler than Paper Pumpkin, even it you are changing it up a bit!

Sign up today with a 3-month (or more) paid subscription and get a FREE cute little Paper Pumpkin tote from me! It holds 2 Paper Pumpkin kits easily so you can grab them a go to a friends to stamp, I love stamping with others…. it’s just more FUN!

Thanks for taking time out of your Sunday to visit with me…

Have a wonderful day!

Today’s Stampin’ Suggestions …

 

 

Wonderful Winterland …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

We’ve teased you long enough, and shown you the outside of the new Paper Pumpkin box, now it’s time to open it up and let the fun escape!

 

The weather outside is wonderful! It’s time to get cozy by the fireplace with some hot chocolate and the Wonderful Winterland Kit. With gently falling flurries and houses nestled on the hillsides, this picturesque project is sure to warm your heart. The kit includes all the supplies you need to make eight cards and spread.

Thanks for checking out my blog …

Stop back tomorrow and check out what I’ve done with this cute kit!

Have a great day.

Simply Sunday: With Gratitude ….

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Want to make amazing projects without the prep work? Meet Paper Pumpkin—a crafting subscription kit by Stampin’ Up! Because sometimes the best way to get creative is INSIDE the box. Every month, you’ll receive all the stamps, ink, and paper you need to make a fun, papercrafting project. Everything is precut and ready to go.

Feel free to change up the project kits a bit. Here is my “slight adaptation” of the kit. I simply changed out the way the greeting was layered … I brought up the Delightful Dijon banner to the front and stamped my greeting on that, then cut the Cajun Craze and adhered it vertically to the back.

000_3814

To carry through the Sequins from the “shaker” I glued one to the top and my bow on the bottom.  I also used the edges of the foam strips to pop up my greeting!

You can see the original design on the video and a variation from Stampin’ Up!  I love Paper Pumpkin … you can stick to the plan, or explore your creativity and add your own special touches.

Skip to the fun with us—sign up CLICK HERE

Check out the video…

Throwing kindness around like confetti is more fun when the confetti is in a shaker card! The Season of Gratitude kit includes eight cards, three sizes of sequins in four colors, die-cut leaves, and a crackled background stamp. With all the heartfelt sentiments in the stamp set, you’ll soon be “throwing gratitude around like falling leaves.”

You will also be a member of my Paper Pumpkin Pals where we share additional ways to use your Paper Pumpkin. Join the fun and Sign up CLICK HERE

If you purchase the 3-month subscription or more, I will send you this cute little carrying case … it holds two Paper Pumpkin boxes nicely. There is also room for your scissors and a few basic tools that you choose.

Paper Pumpkin Reusable Shopping Bags

You will also receive a Virtual Rewards Point for each $50 you spend … You’ll get 1 for the 3-mo. subscription, 2 for the 6-mo. and for the 12-month pre-paid subscription, you will receive not only this cute bag, but you’ll save $2 every month (that’s like getting one kit free!) … there’s more! You’ll also get 4 virtual rewards points and Hostess dollars to spend as you chose!!  Can’t go wrong there!

More Awesome Ideas …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

If you haven’t seen the September Paper Pumpkin kit, I’m more than happy to share these projects plus the alternative cards that I have made.

000_3678 000_3691 000_3682

If that isn’t enough, I invite you to watch this video to see more amazing ideas that Carrie Cudney from our home office at Stampin’ Up! came up with! Can anyone say “Gift Time”!!

What idea was your favorite? For me, I guess it depends on who the gift is going to. I love the “Hot Cocoa” idea but I also think the bath salts and scrubbie was cool. And for anyone who stamps, who wouldn’t love the little tube of accessories / accents!

Feel free to jot down your favorite in the comment box below.

Don’t forget … you still have until October 10th to get in on the BOGO promotion. Buy your first kit and get your November kit for FREE! CLICK HERE TO BEGIN!

pp_bogo_demo-header

Here are a few MORE ideas … shared by Stampin’ Up!

If you’re going for a spooky theme for Halloween, pull in some holiday catalog products like the Halloween Night Designer Washi Tape and Baker’s Twine. Then, stamp the Jack-o’-lantern face and bat from the Spooky Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set using a Basic Black Archival Stampin’ Pad.

PP_Sept_alternates-4

The stamps in the kit are great for cardmaking too! Use the sentiment to stamp a fun background and banner. To achieve a two-tone pumpkin, stamp the solid pumpkin image on some scrap paper first, then (without re-inking) stamp it again to get a lighter tone. (This technique is called stamping off and it’s one that you can use again and again in your projects.) To finish, stamp the outline image on top of the solid image. (That’s called two-step stamping, another technique you’ll use a lot.)

PP_Sept_alternates-2

Here’s another card with a completely different look, proving the versatility of this kit. When we were planning this stamp set, we couldn’t help but “oooh” and “ahhhh” over this adorable little sunflower! Isn’t it lovely? Use the Crumb Cake Note Cards & Envelopes to create a simply sunny card and you’re sure to put a smile on a friend’s face.

Happy Halloween to You …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Did you check out the video yesterday?  Cute right? Well, today I have an alternative project I’d like to share with you …

000_3685

I teamed up the September Paper Pumpkin with the adorable “Halloween Night” Specialty Designer paper. Use the paper as a background and add a few banners and you’ve got a great start to a quick -n- cute card.

I added the little striped banner from the Paper Pumpkin kit along with the tag which completes are card.

000_3682

Remember all the stamps are also included in the Paper Pumpkin kit … they are valued around $14.95, and when you add all the other goodies, it makes Paper Pumpkin a steal!!

“Everyone wants to feel like a gem on their birthday, and here’s a card to guarantee a smile! Start with a Pink Pirouette Cardstock base and stamp a few gem images with VersaMark ink. Add a touch of Flirty Flamingo ink using a Stampin’ Sponge. Tousle Silver Metallic Thread behind one of the mini cards (cut in half) and adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then, cut stamped gems and color with the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to really make them sparkle.” From the Inspired By Blog from Stampin’ Up!
