Additional Page!

I added an additional page called Retired Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers.  I've listed what is cut to 4 X 6, what is 6 x 6 and what packages I have that are unopened.  All of them are for sale!  Check it out and let me know if there is anything you're interested in!

Here is the link:

Paper Pumpkin December 2019

Wow!  If I'd known how much fun working with this kit was going to be, I'd have opened it and completed it sooner.  Here are some alternatives I put together that I found on Pinterest.  

This first batch includes two Triangle Fold cards.  



These other cards were inspired by Donna R. on Pinterest.  I love how these turned out and look forward to sending these to friends and family!


I hope you will get your Paper Pumpkin kits out and start creating.  I've created so many cards and am going to donate some more to our troops, hospitals, and others.

Happy Crafting,

Desiree'

Geared Up Garage

I believe this is the last of the Geared Up Garage cards I made using 12 pieces of the Classic Garage 6 X 6 Designer Series Papers.  I love creating different ideas and sharing with you.  If you see a card that you like and would like to make one like it in a class, be sure to let me know!

On this first card, I fussy cut the car and the oil cans on the inside.  I added a piece of scrap black cardstock to the back of the car before adding dimensionals to pop it up.  The flags are made using scraps of the DSP!



This next card is using the backside of one of the bolder fronts.  I also used scraps for these flags as well.


This card - I had a bunch of little pieces and decided to make a four panel card using them!  I love how this turned out.


This last card was made using strips that were left over.  I flagged them and attached to the cardstock before popping it up on dimensionals.


Enjoy yourself today, but stay safe!

Geared Up Garage

Today I'm sharing the cards I made using the retired Classic Garage 6 X 6 Designer Series Papers.  I'm having so much fun creating these cards and they are great masculine cards!  I used the DSP with the gears on it for this set.

On this first card, I embossed the Basic Gray with the Stone Embossing Folder.  


For the second card, I used the same folder, but used the other side for a different look.



This last card is using the retired Mosaic embossing folder. 


I hope you enjoyed your weekend! 

Happy Crafting,

Geared Up Garage

If you participate in a Paper Share, here are cards I created using papers from my Paper Share.  The designer series papers are from the Classic Garage 6 X 6 papers.  By cutting these papers up, I'm able to create so many more cards than 12 (which is how many designs are included with the paper share)!

Both of these cards are using one piece with the keys and the second card shows a piece in the center with steering wheels.  The cars were fussy cut from the DSP.



Either one of these would make a great Birthday card, or even a retirement card.

Happy Crafting,

Box of Sunshine

If you're in the midwest, we're looking at an overcast, very cloudy day.  Rain is coming - so I thought it appropriate to share more of this Paper Pumpkin kit, Box of Sunshine.



I was inspired by Jenn P. and love all the sunshine on this card!  I had to wait to post this because I sent this to my sister in her Box of Sunshine package.

When you sign up for Paper Pumpkin, you don't always get a hint of what's in the kit.  However, when I get a hint, I like to pass it on to help you decide whether you want the kit or not.  YES, you can skip a month (suspend) as long as you do it before the 10th of that month! And you can quit any time you want; then resign up.  Just remember to select me as your demonstrator!

You can sign up for Paper Pumpkin any time.  Follow this link to read more about what's included and when it ships!  

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

Happy Crafting,

More Sunshine, Anyone?

 I don't know about you, but there is something to be said about sunshine.  These cards just make me smile.  Are you smiling?  I hope so.

This card was inspired by Dawn O., a fellow demonstrator.  Thank you, Dawn!  I love going out on Pinterest and finding ideas! I made a couple of these.

 

I then moved on to the lemons. 

Each Paper Pumpkin kit comes with glue dots, dimensionals, ink spot, stamp set, etc.  They are so easy to put together or you can wait and see alternatives.  

More ideas coming tomorrow!

Happy Crafting,

Box of Sunshine Paper Pumpkin

 I made these cards a little while back (YES! I was able to make them in the same year!).  I was sending my sister a package and wanted to include some of these cards in it.  She should have her package by now so I can share.

This first card was inspired by Rachel T.  I've made this style of card with my ladies a few years back so it was good to get back to this style. 







The next card is a variation where I added more Designer Series Papers and a layer of cardstock.


Come back tomorrow for some more card ideas!

These cards will be put out for sale, so stop in and check them out in person.

Happy Crafting,

On My Mind Alternatives

 Good morning!  Hopefully you are well rested and ready to face the day.  Today's share is inspired by Mackenzie M. and Paper Pumpkin.  I made modifications as I went along so first up is the suggested card that I added two layers of card stock, Pretty Peacock and Terracotta Tile.


This next card is another variation of the suggested cards.  I ran out of Sailboats in the kit, so used my Sailing Home stamp set and dies to create another one of these cards.  I added a steering wheel from the dies as well since I ran out.


And here's another alternative to this card.





This next card is from Mackenzie M.  We did a triangle fold card in class, but she put one on the card front.  I made this with a 5-1/2 X 4-1/4 base.  



Here is an alternative of the above card.


Come back on  Monday for more inspiration!
