I’m late today since I’m catching up after a week’s vacation in Cancun. Hot, hot, hot, but lots of fun with family. Now let’s get to today’s post – social media vs. snail mail. I know email, texts, tweets and Facebook are easy and quick ways to tell a lot of people what you are doing. You’re done in […]
Stampin' Up!
Love you a lot – a card & gift tag in one! How cute is that?
April 2015 Paper Pumpkin kit was designed to fit both Mother’s Day and Father’s day gifts and cards, all rolled into one! How easy is that? Make a card and use it as your gift tag, too! Love it when you can do double duty with one thing. The kit contained everything you needed to […]
Sew You, but I didn’t
March 2015 Paper Pumpkin kit was awesome! If you created the cards as suggested you had 9 darling cards for either “Hello You”, “Thank You”, “Happy Birthday to You” or even an invitation! But by now you know I can’t quite leave it alone and just do the suggested version! Again, back to Pinterest for ideas and […]
Hey Man, how about this alternative?
May 2014 Paper Pumpkin kit came out just in time for Father’s Day cards. The only problem, I had already designed 8 masculine cards for my Father’s Day card classes. So it sat on my craft table and I kept looking at every couple of weeks. I really liked this color combination, but I didn’t […]
Paper doilies and Love notes-January 2014 Paper Pumpkin
Ah, nothing says love better than pretty doilies, hearts and “xoxo”. January 2014 Paper Pumpkin kit had all the ingredients, but I thought it needed a little different approach in putting it together to make it stunning! And of course pretty enough to give to that special someone in your life! The original suggestion was to put […]
Wahoo…it’s a cute Paper Pumpkin redo
I loved the heavy craft card base of the September 2013 Paper Pumpkin kit, but the “target” didn’t fit with my idea of a cute card. I thought it would make a great card if I added Stampin’ Up! retired “I Am Me” designer series paper with the cameras. I could use it for a vacation or bon voyage […]
Hexagons – Who knew math skills would be handy in card crafting!
This was another of the Paper Pumpkin kits (June 2013) I knew I needed to add “more umph!” to it, but my creative brain just wasn’t working with it for the longest time. Several weeks ago as I was sorting through my unmade Paper Pumpkin kit stash (just an aside – I do make many of the Paper […]
Seriously? Another remake of Paper Pumpkin-April 2013 kit
I loved this Paper Pumpkin kit when it was released April, 2013, but somehow it was shuffled around my craft. It would resurface occasionally as I would clean up my craft room. Have I mentioned yet, that when I’m creating my cards and projects for my classes, it looks like a hurricane went through the room! I […]
