I'm sharing some more cards I made with help from my neighbor for Cards for the Troops. Today's cards are made with a variety of leftover pieces of designer series papers. We used Snowman Season to compliment the designs. The houses and skinny trees were fussy cut from Trim the Town Designer Series paper. The pine trees were punched from another set of papers. Sentiment is from Snowman Season.
I hope you enjoy today's cards! come back on Monday for some more cards!

Continuing on with Cards for our Troops, today's share are cards I made using up some of the Trimming the Town retired Designer Series Papers. I mixed and matched some of these, but overall, I love how they turned out. Of course I used my favorite snowman from Snowman Season which is still current. Sentiments are from Snowman Season and Curvy Christmas stamp sets. First up is Frosty and Crystal!
I hope you get some inspiration to use up some of your Designer Series Papers!

Continuing on with Cards for our Troops, today's share are some Gift Card holders I made using the retired Top Note die. I had these for sale in my store and when we closed, I decided to use these up for our servicemen and women. They are still gift card holders, but on the front of a card so they can write a personal message inside!
The first card is just a top note diecut that I had leftover. I stamped the trees and sentiment using the Peaceful Cabin stamp set.

I volunteered to make 100 cards for our servicemen and women. A fellow demonstrator, Rogene C., is collecting cards to be ready by October 10th. I've had so much fun creating these cards. My neighbor heard what I was doing and volunteered a few hours to assist. First up are the cards I had kits for from past classes. Some I revamped from Birthday to Christmas.

Today's share is a card I found on Facebook in my upline's group. I really love how they look and they are great for those who like to display their cards.
First up is the Butterfly Brilliance card. I used the retired butterfly designer series papers (DSP) on this but it was good to showcase this style of card.
Last month I held a three box card class. If you didn't get to come and want to attend, let me know which times work best. I do Tuesday nights at 6 pm or Thursday afternoons at 2 pm.

These are the rest of the Blissful Blooms, October 2018, Paper Pumpkin Kit Alternatives. I hope you enjoy these samples!

Today's share is all about using up your excess supplies. You will see that I cut down some cards, mounted on cardstock not included in the kit, and/or added embossed or die cut pieces. There is so much you can do with your kits!
I used a variety of colors so the cards wouldn't be identical, but I did stamp three of the phrases in two different colors. I really love this set!
I've been working on finishing up opened Paper Pumpkins. These are the last of the supplies from the October 2015, Blissful Bouquet Paper Pumpkin.
I had a lot of fun designing these, using extra cardstock and other embellishments to complete them. The first card all I did was use extra pieces on the notecard provided in the kit and mounted the notecard on a piece of cardstock. I'm not much into notecards.
Often times, Stampin' Up! comes out with card kits that I immediately fall in love with but don't put it together once I get it. Today's share are cards I made using the Happy Hello Simply Sent card kit from the 2013 Sale-A-Bration. Speaking of Sale-A-Bration, have you seen the new product you can get for FREE by placing a $50 order? If you don't have your new Holiday catalog and Sale-A-Bration catalog, get a hold of me!
I cut down some of the cards and mounted them on different cardstock, added doilies to some and did a couple as they were originally designed.
