It's Coming.....And I Can't Wait!





I took a break from stamping for about a year but I did keep up with my own My Paper Pumpkin subscription up until a few months ago. But this month, I am back at it. My kit has shipped and I am excited to be making changes to how I share my paper pumpkin in the future.
  • All subscribers who sign up with me will now enjoy a complimentary file jam packed with neat ideas on different ways to use the current month's kit,
  • They will receive a custom cool case designed by me that will hold all of your stamps, 
  • They also have the option to become a member of my subscriber only shared Pumpkin Pinterest board where you can collect and pin new ideas using My Paper Pumpkin and 
  • Local subscribers have the option to attend a monthly Paper Pumpkin Party - Bring your kit, use my tools, share my scraps, and purchase optional embellishment kits. Have fun, get new ideas and win prizes at every party!
What a great way to escape!

To sign up, contact me and I will tell you how you can save 50% off the first two months kits (and still get all the benefits listed above) then visit the link above and sign up by the 10th of the August in order to get your first kit and join my August Paper Pumpkin Party.

I'm Back!!


WOW! It has been a long time since I posted! I have been out of commission for a while but am working on getting back on my feet and back into Stampin' Up! and paper crafting. I have made a few cards while I was away...not many though. Not nearly enough. 

My absence has a long story behind it. To make a long story short, I am in the process of getting a divorce. The last year has been tough but I am tougher. Just know, I am still here, still crafting, and finally moving forward again.

Things in the works for me for the next year include - my weekly newsletter and a monthly class or two (for now). I am still heavily into My Paper Pumpkin, so look for Pumpkin fun posts and events as well. Look for my weekly newsletter to start back up August 5. August classes will also be announced in that first, returning issue.

For now, there are a few great promotions going on with Stampin' Up! that I just have to share! Check 'em out - I know you will be excited too!

Chic Challenges CC-05


Hi there Stampers! Welcome to my Chic Challenges card post for challenge CC-05. For this challenge card I decided to showcase a new stamp set from the BRAND NEW Catalog! I used Mosaic Madness and it's coordinating punch to create this card. Best of all, you can get both and save 15% by ordering the Mosaic Madness Bundle (see page 123 of the new catalog)  I also used the Express Yourself stamp set - this one is a special stamp set reserved for Hostesses. Just ask me about hosting and how you can get FREE stuff!

Scrappy Birthday Card - BCC #2



Hello Stampers and Fiskateers!

Today's card is a Scrappy Birthday Card as it is made from odds and ends of card stock that I have had stored in my scrap box. My granddaughter, Avah, calls it a rainbow card. Either way, it is my version of challenge card for Fiskateer's Birthday Club Crop - Challenge #2. I posted it to the gallery over at Fiskateer's Message Board on Saturday but saved the blog post for today.


I won't promise it is entirely Stampin' Up! card stock as it is not, for sure. But most of the strips are Stampin' Up!  This scrap box I had laying around has been with me since I first ordered paper from Stampin' Up! but I was also buying brands from Michael's including Bazzill and Recollections brands. I do recognize strips of Melon Mambo, Old Olive, and Tempting Turquoise in the bunch and I know I had a handful of retired colors back from my first Clearance Rack order - but I have no clue what the colors may be...


I stamped my sentiment - from the Make a Wish stamp set, in basic black on Tempting Turquoise and cut it out with a spellbinder's fancy tags die. Of all the sets I have, I love this stamp set the best - and I got it FREE at the St. Louis Regional event in March.  I glued strips of colored card stock diagonally across a piece of whisper white cut at 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 - trimmed the excess flush with the whisper white. Then embossed that piece with my Happy Birthday embossing folder. I glued that down to my Tempting Turquoise card base and embellished  it with my stamped and cut out sentiment. Simple and so pretty!

Supplies:
  • Odds and Ends of various colors of card stock
  • Basic Black Ink
  • Tempting Turquoise Card Stock for Base
  • Make a Wish Stamp Set


Tools:
  • Stampin' Trimmer
  • Big Shot
  • SNAIL adhesive
  • Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Fancy Tags Spellbinder's Dies - non SU
  • Happy Birthday Embossing Folder - non SU

 I hope you enjoyed my card today. There are lots of things you can do with scraps of paper to make beautiful cards...just takes a little imagination and creativity! Happy Stamping!
