June Paper Pumpkin

Friday night during my Stack a Stash event, while the girls worked on their cards, I worked on my June Paper Pumpkin.  Oh my goodness, these little cards are so adorable!  They are a perfect small size to keep with you and hand out whenever you need them.

I wish I'd had them with me Saturday night when we went out for pizza.  There were a couple of police officers that came in for a late dinner while we were still there just visiting.  I would have loved to have given them one, just to say Thank You for keeping us safe.  Instead... and this was a better idea I think now... we ordered a Canoli for each of them!  They were way too skinny and needed something sweet!  Normally, we would have kept it completely anonymous, but we were the only other people in that part of the restaurant and I believe they knew it was us and I did want to thank them.  So we went by their table as we left and told them thank you and to please stay safe.  According to Megan, our favorite server there, they come in all the time.

Aren't these cute!?

It even comes with a cute little plastic like pouch to carry them around and keep them safe from damage.

Thank you for looking in today!  Have a Blessed Sunday!

My Paper Pumpkin - Shelli Style

Oh my goodness, this month's Paper Pumpkin is even prettier in person than it can ever be online.  I sure hope you signed up to receive it.  It is beautiful!

The cards are "note size" instead of standard size, so they are just perfect for sending a little note to a friend "just because".  I already have a couple of people in mind to send some of these.

Even the envelopes are beautiful and coordinate with the cards, inside and out.

I only had a chance to make up two of them so far, but I'm going to be making more, hopefully at lunch later today.  

Thank you for looking in today.  If you haven't signed up to receive Paper Pumpkin kits in your mail, what's stopping you?  You should check them out and see what you think.  Shop Here for Paper Pumpkin.

Happy Hump Day!

August Paper Pumpkin

Gosh, I didn't realize how long I've had this Paper Pumpkin Box waiting to be opened.  Now that it is open, I'm sorry I waited so long, look at how beautiful this paper is.

There were two card styles inside.  The one above with an open area in the middle for an easy sentiment banner and the one below with space around the outside for a smaller sentiment.

Have you ever thought about trying Paper Pumpkin, but just haven't given it a try yet?  If you like Halloween - which will be here before we know it, you will want to sign up for Paper Pumpkin for September.  Be sure to sign up or renew before Midnight - September 10th.  You won't want to miss this one!  

Thank you for looking in today.  It's good to be back to crafting again.  Hopefully we'll be done with long work hours for a little bit!

Happy Labor Day!

Paper Pumkin Stealing the Show

The Paper Pumpkin team has thought long and hard about how we might create a bridge for Paper Pumpkin customers to the additional products that Stampin’ Up! has to offer, and we’re happy to announce a solution that we think you’re going to love: a kit that coordinates with a product suite in the 2018–2019 annual catalog.

Because perfectly coordinated products have always been one of Stampin’ Up!’s key strengths — Stampin' Up! designed June’s Paper Pumpkin kit as a stepping stone to the spectacular suite in the 2018–2019 annual catalog. 

Our uniquely designed June kit and coordinating suite give you the ability to expand your experience from crafting with a single kit to creating with a full range of products offered by Stampin’ Up! 

Personally, I like the Paper Pumpkin kits, but once the month is over, I must move on to something current.  This new bridge between Paper Pumpkin and a Suite in the annual catalog will allow us to enjoy each month more fully.

Stay tuned for the Suite that will coordinate with the June Paper Pumpkin.

If you are already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber and customer of mine, THANK YOU!  You are already set to receive your June shipment and will be able to check out and purchase the suite beginning June 1st.

If you are not a subscriber yet to Paper Pumpkin, then be sure to sign up by June 10th in order to receive the June Kit.  Sign up HERE.

Thank you for looking in today!

Don't forget the special birthday offer when you shop with me online this month!  Check out Tuesday's Blog Post for Details.

Spoiler Alert - Paper Pumpkin - April 2018

My April Paper Pumpkin arrived today and I put one of each together while watching t.v. with the hubby.  That's how easy it is to do Paper Pumpkin.  All from a t.v. tray sitting in my rocking chair!

This month's kit makes 3 x 3 cards that fit perfectly into an easy to assemble box.

The box has a belly band that slips over the filled box easily and so that you don't have to untie it, ever!

Here is the set of five cards.  The kit makes 20 cards, with 20 envelopes fitting into 4 boxes.  Four quick little gifts to give with cute little cards.

If you haven't yet signed up for Paper Pumpkin, I suggest you check them out.  A sweet little kit that arrives in your mailbox each month.

Sign up by May 10th and receive your first two months at 50% off.    Use code SAVEFIFTY0418 (that's zero418 not an "o".)

 

Thank you for looking in today.  I'd love to have you as a Paper Pumpkin Customer!

December Paper Pumpkin

This will be the last Paper Pumpkin kit I'll be doing for a while.  We're working on doing some downsizing around the house and so I've put my Paper Pumpkin on hold for a while.  That doesn't mean you can't still join up and enjoy the fun.  I can enjoy them by seeing your projects!

These were really easy to put together and still have a nice look to them.  I changed up the ribbon a bit as it just seemed to be prettier scrunched up instead of laying somewhat flat.  The ribbon is very soft and fine, so it kind of has a mind of it's own, so I tamed it!  The kit comes with double coated tissue tape (basically the same as Tear and Tape).  I took a strip and layed it across the card and then put the ribbon down on one end then scrunched the ribbon up as I went along.

Don't cut the ribbon until you reach the end of your sticky tape and it comes out great.  This can be done with any ribbon.  I actually have done this before and had forgotten about it.  I may have to start doing it again.  I like the way it works.

If you would like to receive a monthly craft kit, try Paper Pumpkin.  You can cancel any time, or even suspend a month when you need to.  Sign up HERE and give it a try.   You can even sign up for a subscription for a friend, what a great gift!

Thank you for looking in today.  Happy New Year!

October Paper Pumpkin - Spoiler Alert!

I can't believe my Paper Pumpkin arrived so quickly this month!  It's only the 17th and they ship on the 15th!  This is awesome.  It gave me a perfect project for today since I didn't have the chance to come up with my own thing to make.  It was a weird day on Tuesday (yesterday to you), so this was a life saver!

Okay, I've rambled enough, so if you don't want to see the project cards, then stop now!  Actually these were so SO easy!

Everything you need is inside the kit.  The only things extra I used was a bone folder to put a nice crease in the card and a clear block for the stamps.  Everything else is in the box!

The trees and pine branch are pre printed and looks so nice on both cards.  I don't think I can choose a favorite! 

THIS - below - is what happens when the ceiling fan decides to take out the cards and play dominoes with them.  I thought it was funny, so I thought I would share!  Right after snapping the picture the lone card fell down too!

Thank you for looking in today.  It's Hump Day!

Spoiler Alert - August Paper Pumpkin

I can't believe my kit came so quickly this month!  Wooo Hooo!  It was a total surprise to find it in my mailbox.  The funny thing is, well, I guess not funny, but certainly coincidental, is that earlier today Mary and I were talking at work about needing a kit to have at the office that would allow us to make a Sympathy Card.  Sadly those are needed just so unexpectedly.  So now, here we go!  If nothing else, that stamp will be going to my work kit.

These were very quick and easy to put together.  I've only done three so far, but the rest will come together quickly. 

The "Thanks" and the "Congrats" were pre-printed so those will be limited, but the "Sympathy" is a stamp and can be used over and over.

Here's the best part - it came with a great little card box with a clear lid and a beautiful ribbon to tie it all up.  Even some pretty tags to add to the package.

Thank you for looking in today!  Have a wonderful weekend!
