Happy Father’s Day …

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I’d like to share with you; cards that I have created from my last Paper Pumpkin monthly kit.  This was one of my favorites because it was so simple to assemble but had just the right amount of layers … nice card!

Since my Dad is no longer with us, I created the cards in honor of my brothers.  This kit contains both the Fathers Day tamp and a Birthday stamp … so I made a sample with both and then a bit extra.

I will start with the Father’s Day card, because I followed the assembly instructions that were included in the kit.

My second card, I adapted it a bit by turning it horizontally.  So easy … yet the card looks quite different.

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

I have much to share with you today!!  First is a video that will introduce you to a new product offering from Stampin’ Up!  I am so excited to get my hands on this.  Secondly … I will share with you, this months Paper Pumpkin video.

We are so so so excited to let you know we’ve partnered with the amazing Becky Higgins to bring you the real deal-authentic Project Life products, now in exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors and designs. If you’ve somehow missed the Project Life craze and are wondering what it’s all about, we’ll fill you in: it’s a super simple, totally affordable way to get your photos into albums: you just slip your photos into Photo Pocket Pages and add designed cards. It’s a back-to-basics approach to documenting your life. In a nutshell, it’s all about spending more time making memories and less time scrapbooking them.

Here is our April Paper Pumpkin …

Isn’t that cute!  I thought you could put a photo behind that heart and gift it for Mothers Day … it’s May 11th!

I hope you enjoyed the videos, watch for postings in May when I share my “Project Life” creations.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Fast -n- Furious Friday – Fancy Floral Punch

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Well it’s “Fast -n- Furious” Friday again and I have a quick card for you.  I incorporated the “Fancy Floral” punch this is included in the Weekly Deals.

I grabbed the leftovers from my Paper Pumpkin kit that I used a few days back and stamped my arrows.  Then I took the “Thank You” wooden element and covered it in glue with the 2-way glue pen.  Then I sprinkled it with the Silver Glitter that can be found in the “Celebrate the Everyday” catalog.  I just had to share one more technique you can do with the Wooden Elements.

000_0959

I then took the Fancy Floral punch and punched 3 flowers out of Island Indigo cardstock.  I sponged all three on the edges of the petals, then I curled the petals with my bone folder.

To create a more dramatic look … I cut into the flower between the petals and then glued one over the other to create a smaller flower.  The center is punched from the Silver Glimmer paper.

Thanks for dropping in.

Have a Fab Friday ~

Pumpkin Card Share …

Hello my Stampin’ Friends,

Oh my… It’s March 31st already!  It’s been cold for so long that I don’t think we realized that we really are heading into April (and Spring).

I have created a bunch of cards using my March Paper Pumpkin that I wanted to share with you.  I also want to remind you that the offer for the FREE Markers (when you sign up for the Paper Pumpkin) ends today.  CLICK HERE TO TRY IT OUT

I don’t want you to miss out on the FREE markers if you have been thinking about trying out our Paper Pumpkin.  It really is a fun treat that comes to you each month.

demoheader_paperpumpkin_demo_1.11-1.27.2014_US_CA

Here is my first sample, which represents how Stampin’ Up! pictures the design for you.  You will see as we go on, that there are 4 each of the two different greetings in wood, the base cards, two different stamps, and two different ink colors.  The cute little glitter dots, envelopes and gold envelope liners are also included in the kit.  Oh yes, and they even have “glue dots” included to adhere your wooden greetings!

000_0943

My second card for you is simply adding a flower created with the “Petite Petal” punch from the “Celebrate the Everyday” catalog.  I put one of the little glitter dots into the center … did I mention that they are “self-adhesive”!

000_0944

For my 3rd card, I found left-over oval from another project, and added it to my card.  The fun part is … I stamped the arrow image directly onto my wooden greeting!  You could stamp any design on these wooden pieces.  How fun is that!

000_0948

For my 4th and final card share, I stamped the patterned image on my card several times to create a wide border.  I have to say that using these clear photopolymer stamps … it’s really easy to align it!

Then I used the ink pad (spot) that was included in the kit, to “die” my wooden greeting.   I punched a circle out of the envelope liner, and used it to highlight my greeting.  The envelope liners are long enough that you can still use the liner for your envelope after punching … as shown below.

000_0950

I understand that you cannot get this Paper Pumpkin any more, but I did want to show you how neat, and how versatile they really are.  If you really like the wooden elements – you can find the “Essential Wooden Elements” on page 18 of the “Celebrate the Everyday” catalog.

Pair it up with the Watercolor Wonder Designer Note cards and try some of the same techniques I’ve shown you here.  I will have the links at the bottom of my blog for you view these products.
