Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - Filled with Joy

 



Hello Paper Pumpkin fans!! Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

This month we had mini stockings to work with. They are adorable and will make great gifts for those you want to get a little something for without breaking the bank.





 But as you know, I like to showcase the stamp set, rather than the consumables. I like to show that the kit still has value once all the paper products are used up. 

Here is a festive card using the stamps. I pulled out the Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper (DSP). The colors aren't traditional Christmas. I loved the Moody Mauve trees on the DSP, so I used Shaded Spruce and Petal Pink, along with it. 

Now these are not colors I would have necessarily paired together, but rather, a color suggestion by Stampin' Up! I think it works!


And here is my card: 


Don't forget the inside...


Hope you enjoy the hop, and it gives you a few minutes to unwind from all the busyness of the next couple of days! 


Until next time...
Happy Craftin'!

Inspire Create Share Blog Hop: Christmas is Coming!

Hello friends!! Are you making Christmas cards this year? Maybe we can help. The ICS Blog Hop theme for November is Christmas is Coming! And may I add, a little too quickly!!

11/05/24 Creative Crafternoon - Sketch #12

 Hi Crafty friends!!

This card was created during a recent Creative Crafternoon using the Christmas Friends Bundle. I love the critters in this bundle. They make cardmaking easy!! 

I have been using the sketches from the Annual and Mini catalogs for these sessions. This was created based on sketch #12 from the Mini catalog. 


Here is my take on it:


Love the greens in the Designer Series Paper with the pop of gold.

IDEAS Blog Hop: Spread the Sparkle

 


Hello crafters!  I'm so excited to share our November IDEAS Blog Hop with you today. We are Spreading the Sparkle by featuring projects that are sparkly. Our tutorial is full of amazing creative ideas for all levels of experience.  

This graphic is a sneak peek at the some of the projects in our November IDEAS Tutorial Bundle.

Each tutorial designer features at least one project, some include multiples. There are 13 designers this month. Did you know so many of our designers are rated in the top 100 of the Stampin' Up! company. Come and check out theirs and all the designs!

 My actual tutorial designs are secret and exclusively shared in the tutorial. Here is an alternate project for you. Consider this cute little Santa treat holder a bonus project. I wish you could see all the sparkle on him and all my projects, but the pictures just don't do them justice. 


The treat holder measures 2 1/2" x 1", but the ones in the tutorial are much bigger. 


This month's bundle includes over 50 pages of designs. It has over 15 projects, many with alternate designs using different papers or stamps sets. Are you intrigued and would like a copy of the tutorials to use for your personal use, or even to use in your classes? Contact your member demonstrator or me to get yours.  There are three options to acquire our IDEAS tutorial bundle:

1. Place a $35 order with my online host code, 3JZSM4D6, or click here.

2. It is free for all of my team members, join here.

3. Purchase it for $15 USD.

 Once you have received the tutorials, please remember not to share or distribute the printed or electronic copies of these bundles. We have worked hard to provide these exclusive projects for your use. If you know someone that would like to purchase the bundle, please direct them to me to obtain their copy. Thanks for your support!
