Pizza Box Hostess Gifts
Hello Stampers! I have a couple of private parties coming up, and I like to give the hostess a thank-you gift. Stampin' Up!'s Mini Pizza Boxes are perfect for this. Inside, I've tucked three, 3 x 3 matching note cards and envelopes (yes, the 3 x 3 envelopes are available in Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalog.) The cards make great tags for gifts or a gift insert. I used the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper, Silver Foil, and the image from Cheers to the Year set. I hope the hostesses like them! There's still time to host your girls' night out stampin' party! Contact me to get on the calendar. There are lots of options for a party --...

Vintage Leaves Eclipse
Hello Stampers! There are several things I love about this card. I love the colors: Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry are just so awesome for fall. I also used Early Espresso and Old Olive Here in Nebraska, the leaves are changing, and my favorite mimic the Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry colors. I love the eclipse technique. It's so fun and easy use with a variety of sets. I used the Vintage Leaves set for this card. In addition, the Thick Very Vanilla Cardstock made for a sturdy base. And, the Mini Dimensionals make it easy to "pop up" the letters. If you don't have Stampin' Up!'s Large Letters Framelits, they are a great investment. Not only...

Sending Hope
Hello Stampers! A few years ago, I became involved in an organization called Chemo Angels. This group assigns "angels" to people going through chemotherapy treatment. Each week, or a couple of times, a week, I send a card or a small gift package to let the patient know I'm thinking of them and that they're not alone. My current "assignment" is facing the challenges of breast cancer. I got out Stampin' Up!'s Large Letters Framelits Dies,the Ribbon of Courage stamp set, and Support Ribbon Framelits to create a card I can send this week. I hope my notes,cards, and packages make her days brighter! Thanks for stopping by today! Kim

Pick a Pumpkin
Hello Stampers! Halloween is less than two weeks away! I need to get my pumpkin purchased. The last couple of years, my husband and I waited until the last minute to get the pumpkin, and we ended up driving around town searching for a stand that had some left! I try to hold off purchasing the candy until just a day or two before. Much too tempting to eat it all! This quick and cute card features Stampin' Up!'s Spooky Night Designer Series Paper. This sample shows examples of three of the fun designs included in this 12 x 12 package. What's really cool is the pumpkins can be cut from Designer Series Paper with the dies from the Patterned...
