#April 2021 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Birthday Card

 


I finally got around to opening my April 2021 Paper Pumpkin kit! 

I know that I should have done so much sooner, but well...life's been hectic. I love these fun stamps, and I will play with the rest of the kit very soon.  Every month, the Paper Pumpkin kits are worth every penny. However, if you see this post before the day closes, and you've never subscribed before, you can nab an awesome deal. Get your May kit for only $5! 

Yes, if you subscribe before end of day (and they haven't sold out of their pre-determined number of special priced kits) and you enter the code: HOMERUN0521, you will get the special! Please remember to choose Amy Taylor as your demonstrator! I send a handmade thank-you card each month that you are a subscriber, using the stamp set from the most recent kit. 

The beauty of the Paper Pumpkin kits are that everything you need comes in the kit. Your first kit even comes with a stamp block that you will continue to use each subsequent month. Not a lot to collect and if you desire to build a supply of Stampin' Spots and adorable and exclusive stamps, then that's all you'll have left over. Sweet indeed!


Fun, fun! Here are the card measurements:
Melon Mambo cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"; 3/4" x 3-3/8" (for the banner)

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder Techniques

  Do you ever need a quick, but 'wow' kind of card? When don't you, would be my response! That was the inspiration for this weeks card and video tutorial. The Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder is part of the next round of Online Exclusive products that will be available for purchase beginning July 1st. This huge embossing folder creates an intricate and detailed 'image' perfect for simple to elaborate projects. Since I'm more of a simple project kind of gal, that's the direction I went with. Here are the measurements: Crumb Cake (card base) cardstock: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", 2 1/2" x 3/4" Mossy Meadow (layer) cardstock: 5" x 3 3/4" Crushed Curry (focal) cardstock: 4 3/4" x 4") Here is the video tutorial where I share this technique and one more as well as share some additional color combinations at the end: As always, thank you for subscribing, liking, sharing and commenting!

#SU! Christmas Season Simple Elegance Card

When you participate in a swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, you often get some great ideas! Such was the case this month for me. I received in the mail a swap I participated in (hint: I share the card sent to me in my video tutorial!) this month. My good friend often includes me in her team swaps, and I'm so grateful. I loved the layout and immediately thought of the Christmas Season stamp set. This layout goes together so quickly that you could easily put together a stack of Christmas cards in no time. Change up the colors, and have a variety, or keep them all the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you'll try this out. Here are the measurements for the card: Sahara Sand cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" horizontally  Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 3-7/8"x5-1/8" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4"x5"; 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scrap for the greeting large enough to be cut from the Picture This Die Vellum cardstock : 1-1/8...
