Well, I’m finally back after five months offline. My post will be a little long today so I can catch you up on my life and things going on, so please stick with me! We had to move our 90-year-old dad to a senior living community in June (after an entire year trying to convince […]
Paper Pumpkin
The last of another great year?
Ah, yes, they say all good things must come to an end and today’s card is the end of my cards made from December’s “Another Great Year” Paper Pumpkin. Enough already, right? But I found this last design and couldn’t let it just languish on my crafting table, could I? Nope! I wanted the Smoky […]
Happy birthday from another great year
Have you been enjoying my alternative cards using the Another Great Year kit? Are you ready to get your kit out and start creating some of your own cards? I sure hope I’ve lit a spark for you to try using your kit that is just sitting there on your shelf! It doesn’t do any […]
Star blast with Another great year
Yesterday I shared my card using the beautiful garden of flowers sheet from my Another Great Year Paper Pumpkin kit. Today’s card is the back side of that paper. When I cut the flower garden side in half, almost all of the flowers were on the bottom piece. So I turned the remaining top piece over […]
Pink Pirouette and the Go Wild DSP?
Sounds like an unlikely combination to me. When I think of pink pirouette, I think little girl’s pink tutus and dance costumes, not wild animal prints. At least that’s what I thought when I was thumbing through all the Go Wild DSP patterns to see what colors to pair them with for what type of card. You know I love […]
Hello You to another great year
One of the patterns in the Another Great Year kit was a Smokey Slate “heather” look, very plain and subtle. I tried to use this pattern with many different combinations of other Stampin’ Up! DSP and cardstock, but I couldn’t come up with a solution that I liked. So off to Pinterest (isn’t a great place […]
Love…Another Great Year kit!
I love polka dots…any size, any color! And the Another Great Year Paper Pumpkin kit, still available here, had a great set of 4 sheets, again in the beautiful Smokey Slate. Pairing this with several, small pops of bright colors and the Glimmer paper from Sale-a-Bration, who knew it would produce a card like this?! Perfect […]
Start another great year with a flower garden
This past weekend I decided to do use my December 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit to make a variety of cards to showcase the versatility of Paper Pumpkin kits! I was going to put the album together, but decided I really needed some pretty flower cards. The different sheets for the album all measured 5″ x 7″ and […]
Millions of alternatives? Well, not exactly!
But I do have quite a few still left to share with you from my 2017 February Paper Pumpkin Many Happy Birthdays kit. When I first got the kit, I loved the colors but wasn’t sure how I would use the slider cards. I need birthday and thank you cards, but didn’t need party invitations […]
