Paper Pumpkin - Season of Style!





Hello Hivers, 

The Paper Pumpkin team is always tracking products that make our customers happy and (no surprise!) holiday kits are a huge favorite. Knowing this, they decided to create a simple and fun holiday crafting experience as the perfect way to streamline Christmas prep. 

Welcome to a Season of Style! 

To give you more of what you love, during October and November we’re offering two straight months of perfectly coordinated Christmas cardmaking and gifting projects.

The Benefits:
Two coordinating kits means that 1) you will have everything you need to complete unique holiday cards and gifts, 2) you will have more creative options, and 3) you can get that handmade holiday touch without the fuss.


Watch this video from the Stampin' Up! home office for more information.



The Details:

Remember, the October and November kits coordinate but they also stand alone. You DO NOT need both kits to create a complete project.

* To receive October’s kit, customers must subscribe at paperpumpkin.com by 11:50 PM (MT) on October 10.

* To receive November’s kit, customers must subscribe at paperpumpkin.com by 11:50 PM (MT) on November 10.

Painted Autumn Suite - Sunflowers




Hello Hivers, 

Okay. This card just makes me happy.   The bright colors in the DSP are just gorgeous.  

I used Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry to create the flower on the Stitched Circle and I added a Gold Faceted Gem for some sparkle.  

Oh, did you notice the little swirly doodad on top of the Burlap ribbon?  That came from the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits dies.

Painted Autumn Suite - Your Kindness



Hello Hivers, 

Today I decided to use a couple of the items in the Painted Autumn Suite.  Here I have used the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Painted Harvest stamp set.  

The color combination for the flower is Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie.  The middle is stamped in Soft Suede ink.  

I don't know which card I prefer best...the Cajun Craze base or the Soft Suede base.  I think I am leaning towards the Cajun Craze.

Coffee Break Suite - Candy Box






Hello Hivers, 

I decided to make a little box to hold some coffee flavored candy.  I found the tutorial on Pinterest for the box.  I can't remember who the originator is.  

I used the Coffee Break Suite of products to decorate with.  I added one element from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.

Demonstrator Only Swap




Hello Hivers, 

I have really been pushing myself out of my comfort zone.  I signed up to participate in a 2017 Holiday Catalog Pre-Order Demonstrator Only Card Swap.  At first I committed to just making 11 cards of one design.  But then, for some unknown reason, I went back and signed up for 2 more designs (11 of each design).  I was very nervous.  You have to make original designs....and you all know that I am the queen of CASEing.  But I knew that I could do at least one...but three?  Boy, oh boy.  I found that my Creative Mojo works great under pressure.  I love all three designs I came up with.  

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  I would really appreciate the feed back.

Spooky Night Designer Series Paper Treat Pouch




Hello Hivers, 


How are you loving the new 2017 Holiday Catalog?  Isn't it great!? I am having a ball making all sorts of things with all my goodies.  Today I am sharing a treat pouch that I put together using the Spooky Cat stamp set and the Spooky Night DSP.  The pouch holds about 7 of the Pixy Stix.  I cut a window in the pouch using the Everyday Label Punch and added a small piece of Window Sheet.  The sentiment was cut out using the Wood Crate Framelits.

Side Note:  The Halloween Night Baker's Twine I used is retired.

Paper Pumpkin - Altered Alternates













Hello Hivers, 

I am sharing a gift I gave my daughter.  Yesterday was her 12th birthday.  I bought a pocket calendar from Target and personalized it for her.  The name stamp is a retired Stampin' Up! stamp.  

I used some elements from the August 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit to decorate the calendar.  I also used the Wood Words stamp set and embossed it in Gold. 

I am showing photos of the front and back of the calendar.  My daughter really loved her gift.  I am happy she did.  Oh, and all the embellishments will stay on safely because I added the plastic sleeve back on to the calendar when I was finished.
