Jun 10, 2015 | Birthday, Cards, Paper Pumpkin |
For everyone that was a Paper Pumpkin Kit Subscriber in May you received a fun Birthday Bundle Kit.
It has the supplies to make 4 gift bags and 6 birthday cards. When my Aunt and cousin were visiting from Germany this week they wanted to see how I made my cards – I didn’t have anything prepped! But I had my Paper Pumpkin kit and pulled it out really quick. I put together a birthday card and as it turned out it was my cousin’s birthday so I gave it to her. I also spent a few quick minutes assembling one of the bags. Here they are –
I grabbed some Daffodil Delight ink so I could add some balloons to the envelope and make it cute too.
Then this morning I wanted to create a different version of the card using the supplies in the kit. And this is what I came up with.
Instead of putting the big die cut balloon on the bag I decided to use it on one of the cards. I also turned my card and when I added the strip it was too long so it got trimmed off. The Happy Birthday stamp fits perfectly on the balloon so I stamped it before adding it with the Dimensionals to the front of the card. I did add some Whisper White baker’s Twine and tied that in a bow at the end of the balloon. And also the Daffodil Delight ink for the balloons that I stamped on the envelope. Just as quick and easy as the original card!
Don’t forget today is the last day for the 50% off special I mentioned yesterday – there is still time! I can’t wait to see what the June Kit is going to be.

May 27, 2015 | Birthday, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Paper Pumpkin |
Remember yesterday I mentioned that I had a card to share showing an alternate idea for the stamps in the May Paper Pumpkin Kit. Well here it is…
The happy birthday stamp with the swirls is from the May Paper Pumpkin kit. Plus I used ink spots from some earlier kits – Bermuda Bay and Tangerine Tango to ink the stamp – little spots are easy to use for inking just a portion of the image in one color and the rest of the image in another color. The big ink pads you can’t really do that with – you could however use the Stampin’ Write Markers to do this but sometime I think the ink pads give better coverage of ink.
The Tangerine Twine in the button is also from what comes in the kit – I just separated the twisted twine and used some of the Tangerine threads to go through the silver metal button. It’s also the same twine we had in the Holiday catalog and in the carryover section of the Occasions catalog – so you can order more of it through June 2nd.
I also used some of the retiring designer paper – this pack is called Confetti Celebration – which is bright with geometric patterns in it. I do have another sneak peek item that I used on this card!! I bet you can’t guess what it is. It’s a brand new PUNCH coming in the new catalog and I think it’s going to be a top seller! I’ve already been using it like crazy – it’s the new Banner Triple Punch – and it punches the little banner tails for you and has guides for 3 different widths of paper – 1″, 1-1/2″ and 2″. Plus I found that I was still able to use it outside of the guides for other widths of paper – i just flipped it over so I could see where it was punching the tails underneath. This punch will be available June 2nd!
The May Paper Pumpkin kit was a fun Birthday kit with cards, gift bags and even tissue to go inside. If you want to join the fun be sure to sign up for the Paper Pumpkin Special right now. It’s only through JUNE 10th –

I hope you liked that alternate card idea.
May 26, 2015 | Cards, Masculine, Paper Pumpkin, Retired List |
That’s right there is only one more week left to order from the 2014-2015 Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog and the 2015 Occasions Catalog. One more week to get the deals on the retired list. So it’s almost time to say our goodbyes including a big good bye to My Digital Studio – at least to new downloads, software support and the print service through Stampin’ Up!. You can still use your program, add digital content from other sources and print through other services.
June 2nd is the last day for ordering physical product from the catalogs. Additionally here is some information about My Digital Studio:
New Dates
We have extended the availability date for MyDigitalStudio.net, the digital download manager, and our MDS YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest pages through midnight, June 9, 2015. Demonstrators and customers may call Demonstrator Support for assistance with MDS until Demonstrator Support closes at 7:00 PM (MT) on Tuesday, June 9.
A few things to note regarding the change in catalogs – on June 2, 2015 you will be able to order from the old catalogs and the new catalogs – for just one day! If an item is a different price in the new catalog on June 2nd the old pricing will apply and on June 3rd the new pricing will apply. The new catalog will go to an Even-Dollar pricing structure – so things that were *.95 will be a nickel more in the new catalog in most cases. There are a few items with a little more change –
- Embossing Folders are going down in price in the new catalog from 7.95 to 7.50
- The Standard Crease Pad and Cutting Pads for the Big Shot are going from 8.95 to 11
- The Big Shot is going from 99.95 to 110
- The XL punches are going from 16.95 to 18
- The Project Life grid cards are going down from 3.95 to 3.50
- Ink Pads are going from 5.95 to 6.50
- Ink Refills are going from 2.95 to 3.25
- Mini Glue dots going from 4.95 to 5.25
- Craft White ink pad and refill are going up a little 7.50 to 8 and 4.25 to 4.50
- Background stamps are going from 17.95 Wood & 13.95 Clear to 20 Wood & 15 for Clear
Those are most of the changes that I found when comparing the catalogs today.
Now on to something crafty…..
Here is a card that features one of the retiring stamp sets – Tape It. The stamps all look like different pieces of washi tape. The great thing is you can stamp them in any color ink that you want. So now you have “washi tape” in all our our Stampin’ Up! colors!
I used the And Many More stamp set to add a greeting to this card which could be used for just about anything. Stamp what you need on a strip of white card stock and staple it to the front of the card.
There is also a Paper Pumpkin Special right now through JUNE 10th –
Offer Details: Use the code SAVE50 to join Paper Pumpkin before June 10, 2015, and get 50% off the first two months!

Come back tomorrow for an alternate idea using the stamp set from the May Paper Pumpkin kit.
Thanks for visiting.

Apr 27, 2015 | Paper Pumpkin, Retired List, Washi Tape |
I made this fun card using stamps from the February 2015 Paper Pumpkin kit and Washi Tape and the Beach House Washi Tape.
I used a Crumb Cake Note Card and cut a piece of Whisper White card stock to layer on the front. I took the colors from the Beach House Washi tape and stamped the bottom three rows – the top three rows are the washi tape. Everything is angled. I used the Crushed Curry Baker’s twine to go around the white layer and tied it in a bow and then put it on the front of the note card with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. A super quick and easy card!
The Beach House Washi tape is on the retired list and it’s 40% off making it only $2.97. If you are a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber you would have these stamps from your February 2015 kit.
