My Paper Pumpkin

So....I am truly the most unmotivated person there is.... I subscribe to My Paper Pumpkin which is Stampin' Up's monthly craft surprise kit.  Each kit should take 30 minites to complete, but I always add a little of me to each kit.   So here is the kit I started and finished today!  I really had a great Mother's Day, my wonderful husband took me to breakfast and gave me the rest of the day to craft, so I was able to finish my sample for my next class (just a bunch of girls getting together to stamp, everyone brings something to share!).  Well enough of my randomness.  Hopefully you enjoy my pictures!  One day I will get my Etsy store up and running and I can clear out my massive inventory of cards.  Let me know if you have any question or things I can improve on😀

To change the original design, I used the following Stampin' Up! products.

2-3/8" Circle Scallop Punch

1-3/4" Circle Scallop Punch

Basic Black 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock

Calypso Coral 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock

Simple stems

Well another Saturday well spent,  I was able to prep all my packages and make my samples a few weekends out, which gives me time to make favors for the class.

So I used the Simple Stems stamp set from the Celebrate the Everyday catalog and DSP from Sale-A-Bration.  I a believer in little embellishments and lots of layers, and the color coach (the key to using colors out of my comfort zone).

Let me know you want my tricks for making these cards.  Happy stamping.

You Did It

With graduations coming up next month, I thought it would be appropriate to make a card that celebrated graduations.  I used the "You Did It" stamp from one of my monthly My Paper Pumkpin subscriptions.
