Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin

Hello Stampers!

One of my go-to products from Stampin’ Up! is the monthly Paper Pumpkin crafting kit. Each month, you receive a fun, red box in the mail filled with everything you need to create that project, including a stamp set, an Ink Spot, the projects, and accessories. (In your very first box, you receive a clear block so you can begin stamping right away.) The finished projects are a surprise, but Stampin’ Up! has been offering sneak peeks of the next month’s kit. See a graphic below for a hint at next month’s kit. These are fun kits that can be completed in an hour or so — a quick creative escape all in one box. Imagine yourself sitting down with your kids or grandkids or best friend for a crafting moment!

The June Kit, A Little Smile, makes 16 small, beach-themed cards and a super cute carrying case. The idea is to use these little gems as random acts of kindness, giving them to people to bless their day or thank them for their service.

I made a few cards in their original size, but I also turned a few of them into note card-size greetings. Stampin’ Up!’s note cards are perfect for this; they come pre-cut and scored. All you have to do is stamp!

For this card, I used the Whisper White note cards and envelopes. I inked the seashells with the Coastal Cabana ink spot, stamped off on a piece of scrap paper, and then stamped on the card base. I then adhered the small card onto a piece of Coastal Cabana card stock and placed it in the middle of the card. Now, it’s suitable for sending in the mail.

Good Morning Magnolia

Stampin' Up! Good Morning Magnolia

Stampin’ Up! Good Morning Magnolia

Hello Stampers!

There’s so much to love in Stampin’ Up!’s new 2019-2020 annual Catalog that debuts June 4. The Magnolia Lane Suite is absolutely gorgeous and can be used for many occasions. In addition to the Enjoy Today sentiment used in today’s cards, other greetings include: Thanks, Thinking of You, Hello as well as some great inside verses.

I’ve used a Soft Suede base that measures 4 1/4 by 8 1/2 and folded. The Petal Pink panel is 4 1/8 x 4 1/8. I stamped the magnolia image in Soft Suede ink on to a piece of Whisper White card stock measuring 4 x 4. I applied Petal Pink ink to the flowers and Soft Sea Foam ink on the leaves with Stampin’ Sponges. I then cut the image into three equal pieces and attached them to the Petal Pink base. The sentiment in stamped in Soft Suede ink and trimmed with a snips. I sponged a bit of color onto the sentiment. The card is finished off with Linen Trim.

This suite also includes the Magnolia Memory Dies, the Magnolia 3D Embossing Folder, and the beautiful Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. Look also for coordinating ribbon, Memories and More Card Pack and Specialty Cards and Envelopes and cork embellishments.

I can’t wait for the new catalog to go live June 4. If you don’t already have a demonstrator and want a catalog, message me and I’ll get one in the mail.

Happy stamping!

Delightful Daisy

Stampin' Up! Daisy Punch and Daisy Delight Stamp Set

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Punch and Daisy Delight Stamp Set

Hello Stampers!

Punches help make projects easy! Once again, I pulled out Stampin’ Up!’s Daisy Punch and coordinating stamp set Daisy Delight to create this thank-you card.

Here’s how it goes together:

  • Card base: Whisper White Thick
  • Designer Series Paper: Happiness Blooms. Cut at 5 ¼ x 4 inches
  • Top layer: Whisper White Thick cut at 5 x 3 ¾ inches
  • Punch the Daisy from the Whisper White
  • Using Night of Navy ink, stamp the sentiment
  • Adhere the Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon
  • Use dimensionals (I was very generous—using at least 10) to “pop” the piece up onto the Designer Series Paper.
  • Adhere panel to white base.
  • Cut a ½-inch circle from Pineapple Punch card stock and adhere to center of daisy

Super easy and super fun!
