Pocketful of Cheer Paper Pumpkin Samples

Now that I'm back to a bit of blogging, I wanted to share some of my other Paper Pumpkin kits that I never shared.  These samples are from the March 2016 kit - Pocketful of Cheer.  The kit came with supplies to make 4 gift card holders and 4 cards with gift card envelopes. 

These are the two from the kit - super cute and very useful to have on hand!  Just remember to not seal the envelopes until you have put your gift card in!

 

These are the rest of my ideas.  Subscribers with me get project sheets with tips and details on how to do all these projects. 

 

Gift Card Holders:

You know I love a good mini album and Michael doing his Zoolander impressions worked perfectly!

 

How simple and easy for a cute graduation or any occasion gift card?

Paper Pumpkin Play Date - Lovely Little Wreath

Yesterday was my Paper Pumpkin Playdate and we had a great time!  The event was free to my subscribers and downline and offered an opportunity to do their kit with great company and also see my additional ideas.

Together we made the wreath from the April 2016 - Lovely Little Wreath kit.  It was much easier than wreaths we have had in the past.  I plan to switch out the "Happy Spring" with pictures throughout the year because it's the perfect size!  I also hung mine by putting a safety pin in the back and hanging it on a small command hook that I gave everyone in attendance as well.  I love spoiling my subscribers like SU! spoils me as a demonstrator!

Because this may not be everyone's thing, I wanted us to make a card with the supplies so it could be given away as a gift too!  Those in attendance made this little card for free!

I had some other card ideas to using the pieces in the kits. 

Let me know if you have any questions or you can get the project sheet for free from me with details if you sign up to be my subscriber!

Going Places, Going and Gone

The hardest part about retired lists are seeing some of you favorite products gone for good.  And it's really difficult when you know you are a craft supply hoarder and you are afraid to use it when you go it.  I'm really working to stop my hoarding and share what I love with those I love so this project applies to both goals.

These little love notes were created for my husband.  Every year for Valentine's Day, I make little notes and hide them so that he can find them at home and work through the day.  Since the holiday fell on Saturday, I enlisted my daughter to help me hide them in places he likes to go.  I about died when she put the first one on the toilet seat!  :)

These cards are all 6 x 3 and folded in half to make a typical love note size. 

 

Callie also made one for her dad.  Isn't it cute?

 
Supplies

• Cardstock: Going Places DSP Stack (retiring), Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
• Ink: Memento Black
• Stamp Sets: Going Global (retiring)
• Accessories: 2" Circle Punch, 2 1/2 Circle Punch (retiring), 1" Circle Punch, Delightful Dijon 1" Dotted Trim (retiring), Home for the Holidays Enamel Dots (retired), gold thread, dimensionals, scissors, and adhesive

The 6 x 6 pages work great with our envelope punch board to make great envelopes to go with these cards!

His final present was a shadow box using scraps of paper on the glass and my favorite stamp from the Going Global stamp set.  My husband, an engineer by day and musician by night, is a little figety so I put a surprise in there.  I punched out a bunch of hearts using our small heart punch and wrote 831 on many of them - our code for "I love you".  So now he can shake the frame when he needs an outlet and be showered in love.  :)

Celebrating Spring with Watercolors and Butterflies

Today's card is another card from my downline meeting this week that taught the watercolor wash and splatter technique!  This was modeled after a card I did with Erica Cerwin during one of her online classes.  It was really fun to teach at the meeting and I think the results were awesome!

Supplies

• Cardstock: Night of Navy, Very Vanilla, Watercolor Paper
• Ink: Night of Navy
• Stamp Sets: One Big Meaning
• Accessories: Big Shot, Cutting Mats and Multi-purpose Platform, Bold Butterfly Framelits, Aquapainters, White Craft Refill, Clear Block, Glue Dots, Rhinestones, Scissors, Big Shot Brush

Notes:

• I layered the Night of Navy butterfly on the Very Vanilla butterfly so it gave it even more dimension.
• I had everyone free cut the saying to put on the card and distressed the edges.  This added a little more character to me than a punched image (plus my go to punch and framelit for this size of sentiment are all retiring!)
• Thank you Erica Cerwin for all the tips and tricks for successful (and stress-free) watercoloring!

Retiring Products 2016

Some of you may have thought I retired considering how long it has been since I did a blog post!  I am still here - just really involved with volunteering and teaching lately and haven't had words left over to put down on my blog! 

During Sale-a-Bration, I had two great women join my team and I'm excited to start having monthly meetings again to offer them ideas and to keep me inspired with their creativity as well!

This is one of the make-n-takes we did at our meeting to capture the essence of the SU! Retired lists as it has retiring colors, designer papers, embellishments, tools, and stamps.  This card was based on a design from Ronda Wade that was a part of her framelit class.  The goal of the make-n-takes at my monthly downline meetings is to show a technique or product that can be adapted easily into a class or personal crafting and this project fit that bill!  Plus it's just cute I think!

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss (retiring), Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Typeset Speciality Designer Paper (retiring)
• Ink: Blackberry Bliss (retiring)
• Stamp Set: And Many More (retiring)
• Accessories: Big Shot, Cutting Mats and Multi-purpose Platform, Decorative Dots TIEF (retiring), Very Vintage Designer Buttons (retiring), Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Scissors, and Adhesive
