July Paper Pumpkin!

Hey all, Happy Friday! I hope everyone fared well through your July 4th celebrations? It was brutally warm here in CNY...much warmer than what we're used to that's for sure. But it didn't stop the little's from running around and playing ball and corn hole and whatever other games they came up with. I was exhausted just watching them!
Anyhoo, I wanted to jump on here and remind you that the July Paper Pumpkin promises to be SUPER UH-MAZING! It is going to coordinate with 3 of our Annual Catalog suites which just so happen to be some of the most popular suites at that! It's going to coordinate with the Come Sail Away suite, the Garden Lane Suite and Woven Stitches Suite. Now, the thing is, these coordinate, however, you don't HAVE to have these suites to complete the projects, They are a stand alone in that respect, but if you happen to have any of these suites, that just opens the door to endless possibilities with this kit.
If this kit intrigues you as much as it does me and you aren't already a current subscriber, then you MUST subscribe by the deadline of July 10th. If you're unsure about subscribing to Paper Pumpkin, there is no obligation. You can cancel anytime. You can also hold a month if you don't think you can get to a kit that month and of course their is always a pre-paid subscription. Those come in 1 month, 3; 6 and 12 month subscriptions! So, if you just want to try it out, get a 1 month pre-paid and see what it's like to receive that adorable orange box full of amazing craftiness in you mailbox and then decide if you want to jump in with a continuous subscription or maybe a longer pre-paid. Either way, I KNOW you will love receiving this amazing box each month. It's perfect for ALL levels of crafters, from beginner to advanced. Each box contains a high quality photopolymer stamp set, one or two ink spots (it's a GREAT way to expand your ink collection) all of the materials needed to complete the projects including glue dots and dimensional adhesive, embellishments (they often include extras) and full color instructions...but feel free to let your creative juices take over and create your own projects with all of the supplies in the kit or even add in some of your own stuff for even more versatility. And, when you purchase your Paper Pumpkin from me or any of my team, you receive access to my Paper Pumpkin Facebook group. And starting with the July kit, the last Friday of every month, we will do a FB Live in that group and we can do our kit's together and we can share alternate projects as well.
So, what are you waiting for? Give it a try!

Happy Stamping,

Parcels & Petals - July 4th Celebration

Happy 4th of July! Yes, here in the US it's a big deal here today as we celebrate the birth of our nation. And, yes, I am a proud American! And as such, I decided to make a card featuring the Parcels & Petals stamp set to thank those who make it possible for us to celebrate a day like today.
I love Blueberry Bushel with Real Red and Whisper White. They go so well together!

Card Recipe:

Card Base: Blueberry Bushel 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Real Red Layer: 5" x 3 3/4"
Whisper White layer: 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"
Using the large 3 petal image from the stamp set, I stamped it on the top left and right and bottom left in Blueberry Bushel ink. I then added the sentiment in Real Red and adhered the layers together with Snail. A very quick card with only stamps, ink and paper!
#simplestamping
We're off to a big cook out with family and friends. How are you celebrating the July 4th holiday?
Happy Stamping my friends!

Parcels & Petals

Hello and Happy Tuesday! I’m so happy you stopped by to have a look around. I have a couple of fun projects to share with you featuring the Parcels & Petals Stamp set. I’m really loving the versatility of this stamp set and the coordinating dies.

First, let’s talk about this card. I got my inspiration from Klompinstamer with this great fun fold. It allows you to showcase both sides of the amazing Designer Series Paper. How often have you agonized over which side to show and which to”hide”?

To create this card, you will need a piece of DSP (Designer Series Paper) measuring 5 1/2” x 12”. I used a piece from the Garden Lane collection. Then you will score at 1 3/4”; 4 3/4” and 7 3/4”. To create the fold, mountain fold the 7 3/4” score; valley fold the 4 3/4” score line and mountain fold the 1 3/4” score line. I then cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4” x 5 1/4” and stamped my sentiment and the small leaf image from the Parcels & Petals Stamp set in Garden Green and then adhered the panel to the inside of the card base created with the DSP.

Then, using Mint Macaron ink, I stamped the large cluster of petals onto a piece of Whisper White
that I had die cut using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. I then die cut the word Happy from the Well Written dies from Pear Pizzazz cardstock and adhered that the the Label. I then stamped “For You” in Garden Green from the Well Said Stamp set. I layered that to a die cut piece of Pear Pizzazz and this was adhered to the card front.

For the coordinating gift bag, I used a full sheet of Mint Macaron cardstock, measuring 8 1/2” x 11”. I scored the 11” side at 2”; 5”; 7” and 10”; turn to the 8 1/2” side and score at 2” and 7”. Now, on 11” sides, cut up the score lines to the intersecting line. Then one of the 11” sides, choose one of the widest tabs to be your bag back, then remove all of the tabs but that one. You may round the corners of this tab if so choose. Stamp the large trio of petal in Mint Macaron ink randomly over the bag. Then add adhesive, preferably Tear & Tape, to the large tab created on the side and close the box/ bag side. Then seal up the bottom.

Check out the video here for clearer instructions)

To create the tag, cut a piece of Whisper White 2” x 3” and die cut the top with the tag topper die
found in the Parcels & Petals die collection and randomly stamp the large trio of petals in Mint Macaron Along with the sentiment and add to the bag with Whisper White Bakers Twine.

I hope these projects inspire you to give them a try. Feel free to leave a comment and if you enjoyed these tutorials and would like to receive more direct to your inbox, join my mailing list

Free As A Bird in Pretty Peacock

Hello and Happy Friday! I know...surprise post! I don't normally post on a Friday, but I told you, I am having SO much fun with this stamp set! It might also have something to do with the fact that after today, I start my week long stay-cation! Am I the only one that LOVES stay-cation? I love my home and I LOVE being home so to me, stay-cations are the best. Maybe it's because I feel like I'm not home much? Between working full time outside the home coupled with an hour commute each way, I'm away from home a minimum of 10 hours a day, longer if my work day runs over (which happens A LOT!) or I have errands to run, so, I guess that makes me appreciate home.
Anyhoo, back to why we're all here...the card.

This one I decided to use my ink pads and Blender Pens to color and I am so happy with the results. After stamping the image onto Whisper White with Stazon ink, I used Pretty Peacock for the birds, Daffodil Delight for the beaks, Rococo Rose for the flowers on the branch, Sahara Sand for the branch and the leaves are done in Shaded Spruce. All I did was squeeze my closed ink pads bottom up (the new ink pad style squeeze much easier this way) to create a pool of ink in the lids, then using my Blender Pens, I picked up a little ink and colored. Nothing fancy going on here just simple coloring. Then, using the largest of the Stitched Nested Label dies, I die cut the image out, then I trimmed off the right side to create a flat edge. The sentiment is from another stamp set, Celebrate with Cake found in our Beginner Stamper brochure. I then took a half sheet of Pretty Peacock and scored it at 4 1/4" for my card base and layered a piece of Crumb Cake measuring 3 3/4" x 5" and a layer of the 2019-2021 InColor DSP in Pretty Peacock measuring 2" x 5". These layers where all adhered flat with Snail adhesive. I then popped up the stamped layer with Stampin' Dimensionals and to finish the card up, I added the coordinating 2019-2021 InColor Faceted Dots.
I hope you enjoyed today's card. Please feel free to leave a comment. I'd love to hear what you think of if you have any questions, I am more than glad to answer them.
Happy Stamping,
