August Paper Pumpkin - The Kit You Won't Want to Miss!

August Paper Pumpkin - The Kit You Won't Want to Miss!
Hello and good morning! Can you believe it's Thursday already? Yeah, me neither! And to boot, it's already August 8th! Pretty soon the NYS Fair will begin and immediately following the kids will be back in school which means getting stuck behind stop and go traffic for school buses again....I have to admit, that's one of my favorite parts of Summer, is no school buses on the road...I don't have to give myself an extra 20 minutes to get to work on time....sad I know. 

Anyway, my reason for dropping in on you today is Saturday is the last day to get in on the August Paper Pumpkin kit! Yeah...seriously, that's how fast time is going by. So, I don't know EVERYTHING about this kit...Stampin' Up! likes to keep the element of surprise for us with these kits, but they did share that the kit is going to make 6 bags and 12 coordinating tags and it will be a Fall theme with a beautiful Fall themed stamp set (all Paper Pumpkin stamp sets are exclusive to the kits and can not be purchased separately) And as an added bonus this month, also exclusive to subscribers, is that you can purchase an add on to your kit that allows you to create 24 cards, making this the kit you won't want to miss! You will receive 24 card bases along with 24 coordinating envelopes that will work back to your Paper Pumpkin kit. Now, these add ons are only WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. So, you will not want to wait on these. If you are not a current subscriber, you will NOT be allowed to purchase the add on kits. However, if you order a Paper Pumpkin subscription whether it's a recurring subscription or a pre-paid subscription, you will be able to order the add on.

Triple Fold Drop Down Card featuring the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday my friends! Thanks so much for stopping by to see today's project. Today, I have a fun fold for you called the Triple Fold Drop Down and I'm featuring my product pick for the week, the Beautiful Friendship stamp set by Stampin' Up! 

As I stated earlier in the week, I absolutely LOVE this stamp set. I love the DistINKtive® image created with just one ink application. Talk about the easy button! Now, who doesn't like the easy button? Seriously!

Triple Fold Drop Down Card featuring the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set
Then of course there is the marrying of the beautiful 2019-2021 InColors, Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray! I LOVE these colors....actually, I LOVE all of these new InColors and I'm so excited to learn that the Purple Posy will be coming in the near future. It finally passed Quality Control! That's one of the MANY things I love about Stampin' Up! Their quality is bar none, heads and shoulders above ALL. They will NOT put their name on something that is not top of the line, top notch all the way! And, if something does hit the market and it doesn't maintain the highest quality, then they will discontinue it and that's that! 

For a complete list of products used and measurements, download the printable PDF below. Be sure to check out the video tutorial for more information below.

Again, thanks so much for stopping by to hang out with me. And as a reminder, if you place a minimum $25 order with me in my online store using this months host code: U22G6X4E

2019 Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek with Merry Moose Bundle

Hello and Happy Tuesday! I am so excited! My Holiday Catalog pre-order arrived yesterday, so of course the first thing I did when I arrived home from work is make a mad dash for my craft room to tear into the box!

First order of business was to go through the catalog! There is NOTHING like going through the pages of a new catalog. Yes, as a demonstrator I had access to the digital catalog on line a couple of weeks ago, but it doesn't hold a candle to the physical catalog! Just sayin'!
Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek

Yeah, I was a little excited...okay, I was REALLY excited. But really, you have got to see it to understand it!

So, once I finished going through the catalog, I dove into the rest of the box and oh my, where to start? After fussing over everything and touching and opening, I decided to play with the Merry Moose Bundle. That little moose just stole my heart! I was even texting photos of him in my hand to a fellow teammate. Now, I don't randomly text such photos to my team, but I happen to know she is also in love with the moose and her's hadn't arrived yet, therefore, I was sharing so she could see the size and just how sweet he really was. 

Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek with Merry Moose


The colors I used here are Early Espresso, Shaded Spruce and Very Vanilla. I did not actually stamp out the moose, but I did punch him out from a scrap of the Early Espresso and popped him up with a couple of Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish it off and add a little glitz, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the trees.

I hope you enjoyed today's sneak peek into the Holiday Catalog. If you aren't currently working with a demonstrator, I would love the opportunity to serve you. If you would like a catalog, just fill out the form and I will be sure to get one to you. 
In the meantime, Happy Stamping,

Beautiful Friendship - Quick & Simple Stamping

Hello and Happy Monday! Thanks so much for joining me today! I have a fun card to share with you today and it's a quick and simple card featuring the Beautiful Friendship stamp set from Stampin' Up! 
I love this stamp set, it is just gorgeous! It is a DistINKtive stamp, which is a newer technology in stamping introduced by Stampin' Up! last year where they create a photo realistic image in the stamp that is patent pending..but the results are just amazing. 
This card is perfect for that bestie you want to send a little love to so they know how you feel. 

I love how the Purple Posy pairs with the Highland Heather. And as an FYI, Stampin' Up! announced Purple Posy has finally passed quality control and they have given the okay to the manufacturer to begin production, so hopefully we will be seeing Purple Posy ink pads in the very near future!

Download the PDF here for a full list of supplies and measurements.

Happy Stamping,

A Quick and Simple Treat Box featuring the Piece of Cake Stamp Set

TGIF my friends! Thanks for stopping by today. It's been one of THOSE days! You know the kind, the kind of day that causes your head to pound  and to seriously consider why you even got out of bed this morning....yeah, that kind of day. I won't bore you with the details and we'll just leave it there,
A Quick and Simple Treat Box featuring the Piece of Cake Stamp Set
Today, I have a really fun project to share with you! It's a quick and simple treat box featuring the Piece of Cake stamp set by Stampin' Up! I love this box because not only is it quick and simple and oh so totally cute, but it uses a FULL sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock so there is absolutely NO waste! None! You make a couple of little cuts, but we use those little left over pieces to complete the design so NOTHING is wasted! I mean really, it doesn't get much better than that, at least not in my opinion.
Below, you will find a downloadable PDF consisting of supply list, dimensions and instructions. I also included a diagram to show you how your score lines should look.
