Time to Celebrate

Did you know Stampin' Up! has kits that you can purchase without becoming a Paper Pumpkin subscriber?  In these kits, you will get an ink spot, a stamp set, a block, and supplies to make cards or crafts.  Today's share is very masculine.  I'm going to post four cards today and four more cards on Saturday so be sure to come back!

If you would like to come put a kit together with me, let me know ahead of time so I have two of the same kit available!

Happy Creations,

Sunshine & Smiles

I had a lot of fun using this Paper Pumpkin kit!  I was making these cards in a meeting and wound up giving one of them away to show how easy the kits are to put together.  If you're wanting to dip into card making, this would be a great start.  You're first kit comes with stamps, ink, block and enough supplies to make at least 8 cards or treat boxes.

And who wouldn't enjoy rain showers and rainbows?  These are just adorable.  I did cut mine down and used additional cardstock to finish.   Remember, all my cards are for sale and I'm open to teach you how to make your own cards!

Sympathy Cards

Today's cards were created due to too many people needing sympathy cards!  I used the retired stamp set, Noble Deer, and the new stamp set, Hope & Prayer.  The new set is available until the 30th of April.  I do not know whether it will be carried over into the new Annual Catalog.  

I hope these inspire you to get your stamps, ink, and paper out to create!

He's The Man

Today's share are the last that I have photographed to post of He's the Man Designer Series Papers.  This paper is still available for purchase!  Coordinating colors I used are Crumb Cake, Early Expresso and Cajun Craze.  

All of my cards are for sale.  I start out at $3 a card which includes an envelope.  If you're a frequent buyer, I may give a discount.

More He's The Man Cards

I promised more cards using the He's The Man Designer Series papers from Stampin' Up!  If you don't open your papers, you won't know what you're options are for making cards or scrapbooking.  Inspiration for these cards is from Jackie B., a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I'm trying to get back to basics with cardmaking to bring in new people who want to learn.

Mint Macaron is as close to green that I could pull out of these papers.  To all those Irish, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

  Again, all I did was add cardstock to dress up these cards.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

He's the Man

I'm finally getting into my Spring Catalog papers.  After I cut into the He's the Man Designer Series Papers and cut 4 x 6, I made these cards. Since I had a bit leftover, I added the small piece to the inside of each card. 

And last two pages are cute die cuts. All I did was add Cardstock!  Quick and easy. 

Happy crafting!

Come back tomorrow for more options.  #handmade #stampinup #hestheman

Wow! It's March 1st

Can you believe it's March 1st already?  Time is just flying by for me.  I've been busy cleaning out my Craft Room to make room for all the new stuff coming out in May!  

Be sure to check out the various pages - I've updated Stamps for Sale (includes bundles), Designer Series Papers, and will be working on the other pages in the next couple of days.

I'm going through my card classes, so if there is anything that you missed, let me know so we can get together and make cards!  I'll be back later to post what I have so we can get together!

MIA

I have been missing in action for quite a while.  My husband has had some serious health issues since February of last year.  I'm now ready to get back into stamping with my friends and hope you are too!

Here is one of three cards we will be making in our January card class.  I'm using the Cup of Tea bundle and the Tea Boutique designer series papers.  This card was a case (copy and share everything) from Jackie B. It's one of two different fun folds we'll be making!

If you'd like to attend class, I have a daytime class on the 17th, at 2 pm and an evening class on the 24th at 6 pm. Classes are $10 per person and we will be making three different cards.

If you cannot attend but would like supplies mailed to you, please contact me. Remember that supplies do not include any stamped images!

It is so much more fun to have you in my class with one or more of your friends. Bring a friend and I'll have a surprise gift for you and your friend!

Sweet Sunflowers Envelope Pieces

Sweet Sunflowers Envelope Pieces

These are two cards I made using the envelope flaps from the Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin kit.  I mounted them on a piece of cardstock so they wouldn't be so flimsy.  I popped the Sunflower and the sentiment with dimensionals.

The second card, I stamped the sunflower on Basic White cardstock.  I then stamped the centers in soft suede.  I mounted the envelope paper onto Blackberry Bliss cardstock and popped up on dimensionals.

I hope you enjoy today's card share.  Have a safe and enjoyable weekend!
