Cantaloupe Creations and Paper Pumpkin

Today we are having a flash sale for new Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  For only $5, you can get a kit in the mail that includes a stamp set, clear block, ink, and a project kit.  It's normally $19.95 plus tax.  I adore these kits and am committed to sending alternative ideas your way with each kit that we receive.  If you want to sign up, just visit https://www.paperpumpkin.com/en-us/sign-up/?demoid=80380 and enter promo code ONEDAY0717.  You will need to do this on June 30th to get the deal so stop reading and go sign up!

So either you kept reading or you are back from signing up.... Either way - thank you!

There is another perk of being my customer in Paper Pumpkin.  Subscribers usually get a card from me in the mail as well that they can use for inspiration or can send out into the world.  This month's card was using the One in a Melon set.  Designed to be a watermelon card with the Melon Mambo and Emerald Envy ink spots, I changed up the colors by using Peekaboo Peach and Soft Suede (the color in our April kit).  I love how it turned out!

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Soft Suede, Peekaboo Peach, Very Vanilla
• Ink: Peekaboo Peach, Crumb Cake
• Stamp: One in a Melon (June 2017 Paper Pumpkin set)
• Big Shot: Cutting Mat, Magnetic Platform, Stitched Shapes Framelits
• Accessories: Vanilla Solid Twine, Triple Banner Punch, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Scissors, and Adhesive

Hope you had a great Halloween.  We went as Cinderella, Jaq, and Mary from Cinderella.  Callie's first trick or treating experience went well but she was a little nervous.  When someone answered the door, she'd say hello and hold out the bag instead of saying Trick or Treat.  But she always said thank you so that was sweet.  Our noses are made from felt, Brights Glimmer Brads, and Black Wire (retired).  I'm not good with the sewing machine but my husband was willing to wear it if I was willing to try it.  I love that guy so much!  And Callie thought Daddy Jaq was amazing which melted my heart.

Today's project is another wonderful card from Mom from her last workshop.  The Christmas Star stamp is one that is part of the 25% off special.  These single stamps come in clear mount only.  Click here for details.

You'll notice that you don't see that design on this project.  In this case, we stamped the star on the back of the foil paper.  Then you cut it out with your scissors and score along the lines from the stamp.  This helps you fold out the foil side and then we sanded it with our sanding system.  The center is popped up on several dimensionals. 

To keep the bag closed, score it at the top for a crisp fold and then tuck that under the point of the star.  Adhere the bow with a glue dot in the center and add the

New Pop & Place Product Offering

What a glorious but exhausting week this has been!  It was so nice to see so many of you over the course of Friday and Saturday at my holiday camp.  I appreciate your willingness to dive into some fun but time consuming projects and it was great to hear your feedback on the products and projects.

Today we are recouping at McCasa and reminding Callie that she is loved more than Stampin' Up!  She was such a trooper for two days while everyone was here and I'm pretty sure she watched every Disney movie we own over those two days.  I wish I had a photo of her making her own cards on Saturday but the camera is buried under layers of neglect in my craft room.

After this post, I'll be stamping one last kit and then putting all of this away until my next session on the 30th.  As promised, once the holiday camp supplies went back in the room, I'd start posting photos of the Halloween projects I've been working on with Callie.  Those posts will start on Monday!  I will also post my mother's great projects after the Halloween posts as there are many ideas in there that you will enjoy!!!

Our new Pop & Place Holiday Gift Tags come in a booklet of 70+ tags in five designs--created from our existing punch and die shapes. These tags (which coordinate with the Season of Style products in the 2013 holiday catalog)!
