Countdown to Christmas 2017 - Day 9

Well, it finally happened.  I'm behind on everything.  You forget how at least one kid or adult gets sick out of every family during the holiday season.  I should be grateful that it's not me since not everyone else in my clan is good at taking the "magic of Christmas" reins but it did put me off schedule.  Those wonderful envelopes that we were using for countdown with the kids?  Four days off.  Looks like today is going to be a crazy catchup day!

For today's post, I wanted to share one last card that uses the Watercolor Christmas Card kit with a different stamp set.  I was having a little difficulty with the large stamp on my card kit so I went to another great holiday set (that is carrying over into 2018) - Half Full.  This card I made for my wine loving friend who lives too far away but is on my mind often.  I stamped it using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.


Everything else on the card is the same as the kid, just a different expression and I used the clear Wink of Stella pen on the glass.  The beautiful part about kits is that you can make them what you need as long as you have a stamp set to use and a little ink!


I hope your holidays are filled to the brim with love, laughter, and cheer!



Paper Pumpkin is creativity in a box.  It costs $19.95 plus tax and ships to your mailbox once a month.  It contains everything you need for your own creative escape.  Besides the instructions and pieces for the cards or project, it also contains ink and photopolymer stamps and usually the adhesive you need as well.  My subscribers will also get a project sheet with tips and additional ideas and instructions that they can make with the supplies in the kits and sometimes some supplemental supplies.  Plus I try to send one of the alternative ideas out to everyone in the mail so you get two fun surprises in the mail each month!  Sign up by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit! 

There are two ways to sign up.  
Subscribers can also have access to all my past project sheets!


Our year end sale has begun and will last until January 2nd, 2018!  Products in the sale are while supplies last so if you have been holding out for things from the holiday catalog, make sure you get them before they are gone!

Check out the list of sale items via my Online Store and use hostess code WMP4FRM2 at checkout.



Have you heard about the Stamparatus?  It is an amazing position tool that will help you align your photopolymer and clearmount stamps for straight stamping every time.  Plus it will help you do mass production of cards like those you receive in Paper Pumpkin kits.  Our Stamparatus also operates on a hinge system so you can remove and reposition the entire grid.  For more information, watch this great video.

While these tools will be in the new 2018-2019 catalog, you can get yours earlier than that.  The reservation window for these tools opens on December 5th at 2pm MST and lasts until December 30th.  You reserve your tool but you aren't billed until yours is ready to ship.  Some will ship during Sale-a-Bration period (those that get theirs reserved first) and others will come after March 2018.  The cost is $49 (plus shipping/tax) and you can order yours by clicking my Shop Now button above as of 12/5 and clicking on the Stamparatus Reservation link on the top of the page.  Contact me with any questions!


Another great product is out from Stampin' Up! in time for Christmas and Sale-a-Bration.  Our Stampin' Blends are our new and improved alcohol markers that make for vivid images and are relaxing to use.  Check out more information on them here.

You can order them on my online store and they make a great stocking stuffer!  Please use hostess code WMP4FRM2 at checkout.
