AUGUST PAPER PUMPKIN!

As promised here is just some of the August Paper Pumpkin kit put together.  I absolutely love the gorgeous gift boxes with this months kits.  The tags were made using the White Whisper Pigment Ink which gives a very cool chalky look against the black card stock.  You have just a couple more days to sign up to receive Paper Pumpkin at your door each month for half price for the first two months.  If you don't like what you receive (very doubtful though) you can stop your subscription at any time.   Contact me with any questions and I'd be happy to answer them.  

STAMPIN' UP! WEEKLY DEALS!

NOTHING TO DO WITH STAMPIN' UP!, BUT........

I wanted to share with you something I've been working on this summer in my spare time when I'm not keeping house or working on Stampin' Up!  I attended a class at SHE Scrapbooks in Lady Lake, Florida during the beginning of July and we made this. 

This is called The Curious Cabinet and is designed and taught by Jim Hankins aka The Gentleman Crafter.  This is made from very heavy chip board and covered in Graphic 45 paper.  This cabinet stands 14" tall and 6" wide.  The doors open up to three drawers that slide in and out.  While in class I decided to purchase a kit from a different class Jim was teaching but I could not attend.  The class was called The Beach Lantern and I just finished it this past weekend.  

 I absolutely love how these turned out and I look forward to making more of Jim Hankins fabulous creations.  I hope you enjoyed looking at these.

AUGUST PAPER PUMPKIN IS HERE!

I absolutely love the colors this month!!  I can't wait to get started and see the beautiful results from this months Paper Pumpkin.  Don't go far, because I'll be back soon with pictures.  Remember, Paper Pumpkin is 50% off your first two months for new subscribers NOW until September 10.

STAMPIN' UP! HOLIDAY CATALOG SUPPLIES!

One of the many reason I love being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is because I get to purchase all the new stamp sets and supplies a month before the catalog goes live. Check out these great supplies from the new Holiday catalog.  Aren't those little wooden Snowflake Elements just the BEST!!  24 come in the pack for just $6.00.  There are three different sizes.  I think they could be painted white too if you wanted something other than the wood look.  

Those Iced Rhinestone Embellishments are so pretty and come 24 in a pack for $5.00.  Two sizes. 

And how about that ribbon!!   The first two - Gold & White 3/8" Glitter Ribbon is absolutely beautiful!  I know I will be using a lot of this ribbon for my Holiday cards.  The other two rolls of ribbon are the 1/8" Striped Ribbon.  This ribbon ties so nicely, you will love it.

Of course more fun Washi Tape.  Winter Wonderland and Season of Cheer.

How about these fun, fun, fun Spider Web Doilies!!  Aren't they just the coolest?!  I can think of many uses for these on cards.  They don't just have to be spider webs either.  Let your imagination run wild!

This is just a very small sampling of some of the supplies in the new Holiday catalog.  I hope you enjoyed looking.

STAMPIN' UP! COTTON PAPER ASSORTMENT PACK!

If you have not tried Stampin' Up!'s new Cotton Paper on page 148 in the new catalog then you need to, especially if you love making paper flowers!!  Below are just a couple I have made using this new Cotton Paper.  This new paper is lightweight but very sturdy.  It comes in packs of 12 sheets, each 12 x 12" and four each  from four different colors.  Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder.  These flowers are so easy so make.

I cut five small squares each from the 12 x 12" cotton paper and then used two dies from the Floral Frames Collection Framelits and put them through my Big Shot. 

 I then simply stapled the stack of flowers together and started crinkling each of the fives flowers upward and BINGO, flower is completed!! 

Here is a little pillow box, (new Pillow Box Thinlit Die in the Holiday catalog) with a Cotton Paper flower adhered onto it.   I love these sturdy but delicate flowers.

CARD SWAPS FROM THE 2015 STAMPIN' UP! CONVENTION

This card was one of my swaps for convention.  I used every stamp except for one stamp, from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set on page 8 in the main catalog.

 Carol Gilmore created this card using the Watercolor Words stamp set. This stamp set is one of my favorites because of the created design of each stamp and there are so many in this set.  It's on page 117 in the main catalog.

 Suzy Speare  made this card using the Garden in Bloom stamp set.  I love the new Mint Macaron card stock she used for the base of her card. 

Unfortunately the name tag fell off this card sometime during my travels home from convention, so I cannot give credit for this beautiful card. She used the new Vintage Leaves stamp set for this card.

 Jenn Gulch made this card using several papers from the Pretty Petals designer paper, and the verse comes from the That Thing You Did stamp set.

This fun birthday card was made by Stacey Lisk.  She used the new Sprinkles on Top stamp set on page 7 in the main catalog. 

I hope these cards may give you some new ideas for your own card making projects cards.  All of these stamps sets and supplies can be purchased HERE.

MORE CONVENTION SAMPLES!

How about a few Halloween and Fall card samples from the new Holiday catalog?! 

The Light Hearted Leaves set is so pretty and delicate.  They coordinate with the Leaflets Framelets Dies on page 172 of the main S/U catalog. 

These little cuties are made using the new Spider Web Doilies and the new Sweet Hauntings stamp set. 

I hope you have enjoyed getting a little sneak peek of some of the fun ideas and designs from the new Holiday Catalog.
