February 2016 Pumpkin Tag

#OneLittleTag

My Paper Pumpkin Tag


Thought I would share my #OneLittleTag project from this week.  I was playing around with the February Paper Pumpkin kit and decided to put together a tag. All of the stamps used were from this month's kit. I used Blackberry Bliss and Pool Party ink to stamp the flowers and sentiment. The pinkish looking flower was created using Blackberry Bliss and the stamping off method.  The triangle paper for the tag came directly from the kit and I used a piece of scrap Pool Party card stock for the bottom star border.  I finally embellished the stars and flowers with a bit of Dazzling Details to add a shimmer effect to the tag.

Paper Pumpkin is so versatile... the card I made for my weekly deals post on Tuesday even used the Celebrate sentiment from the May 2015 Birthday Bundle.  If you aren't collecting Paper Pumpkin stamps you are seriously missing out.  I have found lots of uses for the stamps... just when I think I don't have a stamp, I peak through my Pumpkin box and it never fails.  From birthday to sympathy and everything in between, thanks to My Paper Pumpkin - I have a stamp for that!

Here's how I organize my Pumpkin stamps:


I like to keep the instructions folded in half, label the fronts with the month and year, then slide them in a cello bag and keep them in order by month and year.  The boxes are inexpensive and come from Michael's.  I use one of the chip board pieces that come in every Pumpkin kit, cut it down and glue on one of the tabbed divider pieces that come with my box.  Then I write the kit name on the tab divider piece when I add my set to the box each month.  I am betting I can hold 3-4 years worth of stamps in this one box.  The lid fits nicely and it sits on my shelf and blends with the rest of my boxes.

Celebrate Weekly Deals - Feb 23 - 29

Hiya! It's been a few weeks since I shared a weekly deals post. I was sick with a pretty bad cold and I am finally feeling well enough to be back in the basement in my craft room.  Hope February has been good to all of you. Other than being sick, my Valentine's Day was pretty spectacular... lets just say roses, balloons, chocolate, gold jewelry... and lots of love came my way... It sure made my illness seem a lot less stressful. Oh... at the start of my sickness I was on a trip to visit my KC stampin' family... more to come in a later post about all I learned there.  So stay tuned!



Today I made my card using the Stars Framelits from our weekly deals.  My inspiration came from a similar card created by Shannon Lane from Crush On Colour.  Her card used pinks and yellows along with the stars framelits but I wanted to go with blues and yellows from our 2015-17 In Colors - Hello Honey and Lost Lagoon.  Plus I added a zip of sparkle by using gold glimmer paper with the framelits and the stars border punch.  I used those itty bitty star bits to embellish my sky.
