Paper Pumpkin - December 2014

I've heard several people lately mention how much the love Shaker Cards, and I think Stampin' Up must have heard too. For Decembers' Paper Pumpkin that is exactly what the sent us! I love getting a surprise every month in the mail that I can escape to after the little one goes to bed and I can craft and craft without having to put a lot of thought into it.

This month we got a gift in our boxes - a Paper-Piercing Pack! I've done it before and this is an awesome set, can't wait to try it out.

With most Paper Pumpkin projects you get a small set of stamps, usually 3x4 sheet. This month we got a full 4x6 sheet of stamps! I love that they can be used all throughout the year. 

All the paper materials and instructions come bundled up and ready to go!

Here is everything included in the kit. The only  downside is that you have to punch out all those stars!!! It really wasn't too bad using the toothpick that was included in the kit. The words are on sticker paper so they are super easy to use.

The finished product! This project made 9 cards total (3 of each design). 

If you're interested in getting a crafty surprise in the mail each month head on over to Paper Pumpkin and sign up now! 

Right now during Sale-A-Bration if you get a 3-month prepaid subscription this qualifies you for a FREE Sale-A-Bration item from the Brochure.

Weeks Family Christmas 2014

This year we celebrated our first Christmas in Bristol. We had all our family come to the new house to start new Christmas traditions. It was great having the open floor plan of the new house, so that no matter if you are cooking or relaxing on the couch we are all together! That is all I wanted for Christmas was for everyone to be together and for Adeline to have all her favorite people, and that is exactly what I got.

Adeline asked for two things for Christmas - a 4-Wheeler and a Dollhouse. Over Thanksgiving she rode her cousins' 4-Wheeler and fell in love! Then of course Bass Pro Shops got one just her size and put it on display, she squealed and ran to it every time we went to the store. We ended up ordering her one and she absolutely loves it.

Instead of buying a brand new Dollhouse I decided it was time that my doll house was handed down to her. I got it when I was older but she is so mature for a 3 yr old I knew she would love it.

We had fun with all our extended family and Adeline loved opening all the presents!

The aftermath!

Adeline got to go outside and play with her 4-Wheeler. It was a bit wet so she didn't get a lot of traction and she is so lightweight that doesn't help either.

We had a very blessed Christmas. Alan and I were gifted by his parents a brand new TV! We still hadn't ventured into getting a flat TV so we were long over due for one! Here it is all set up! We were lucky enough that when the house was remodeled they put it in outlets above the fireplace for a wall-mount TV.

I can't forget my parents either, they gifted us with a new laptop. I use it so much for my Etsy & Stampin' Up Businesses so I needed a new one and this new Dell is awesome!!!

I didn't get a ton of pictures as I was busy enjoying my family and feeling a little ill. I am still feeling eh and I hope to get some of the grandparents pictures to add!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Halloween Treats

I have been having fun being a Stampin' Up Independent Demonstrator! If you know me personally, you know that I love to craft so this is a dream job for me. I can't always think of original things to do, so it is great to be given ideas and provided the supplies needed! Stampin' Up offers lots of Kits for any project you'd like to do. I decided to make some Halloween goodie bags to hand out since we are new to the neighborhood, so I used some kits and accessories.

One of those kits is Paper Pumpkin - it is a monthly subscription kit that contains all the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories needed for the craft project in the kit. For the September Kit we got these super cute Burlap treat bags I showed in a previous post. I gave one to my husbands Grandmother when we went to visit her last weekend and the rest I'll be giving away on Halloween.

On my last order I picked up the Pumpkin Pie Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit, which is on the Clearance List. It makes 10 goody bags and took me no time at all to put together! All I needed was a stamp and ink!

On my last order I got some Chevron Tag A Bag Gift Bags to try out so I went ahead and made more Trick or Treat goodie bags. I used my Chalk Talk Framelits to cut out the tags from Tangelo Twist paper and used a couple different stamp sets - Paper Pumpkin Sept. Stamp (BOO!), Fall Fest (Ghost & Pumpkin), and Gorgeous Grunge (splatter). I loved the quality of the bags, they aren't just your regular paper bags, they have a more cottony feel to them.

Hope you and your family had a safe and happy Halloween!

Can't Thank You Enough

This past weekend I had a workshop in Blacksburg. We made several great cards and crafts! I broke out the November Paper Pumpkin, we made Christmas Cards, and a Thank You Card.

I found the idea for this card online (Stuck on Stampin'). I loved her card and the colors but the colors and paper she used are no longer available with Stampin' Up. So I had to reconfigure the colors. I looked in the catalog at the Designer Series Paper and picked which one I liked the most. I went with Confetti Celebration because I loved the colors and patters! Next I looked at the colors listed for the paper pack and decided which ones to use for the other parts of the card.

I used:

• Tangelo Twist for the card base
• Bermuda Bay for one of the banners and the ribbon
• Basic Gray for one layer
• Whisper White for the tag and banner
• Tangerine Tango for the stamped images

I love the color combinations and so did everyone at the workshop!

Here are some of the products used in this project:

Thank you,

I got crafty, how about you?

I have been preparing for an upcoming craft show and here are a few items that I've made over the past week or so to prepare. If you are interested in anything please let me know.

I can also make your Christmas Cards using Stampin' Up!. Here are a couple that I've made, but the possibilities are endless!

With the same stamp set I made these super cute note pad holders that make a great co-worker gift or stocking stuffer. They hold a mini-pen on the side that I am getting to put with these.

Finally - wine glasses! This saying fits me perfectly!

I have lots of fun working on crafts, it's my job!

Fall Pumpkin Card

Next weekend I have a small event I'll be set up at with my Crafty Weeks items, so I've been busy making some cards to sell. I don't have a ton of Stampin' Up stuff yet, so I'm utilizing what I have in coordination with the Stampin' Up items I do have.

For this card I used:
Stampin' Up Blendabilities (Old Olive - Dark) to color the wood veneer banner pieces
Stampin' Up Fall Fest Stamp Set for the pumpkins
Stampin' Up Fun Fall Framelits Dies to cut out the pumpkins
Stampin' Up Tangerine Tango Stampin' Pad
Stampin' Up Old Olive Stampin' Pad
Stampin' Up Bakers Twine in Crushed Curry
Stampin' Up Stampin' Dimensionals to pop the pumpkins and banner
All other elements - wood veneer, pumpkin paper, card base was already on hand.
