During the countdown, I will be recording the individuals that comment on my posts. On Christmas day, I will draw a name from those posts randomly and that person will get a surprise gift straight out of the Occasions Catalog. Pretty sweet deal, eh? Limit to one entry per day.
Today's project is the card I sent out to my November Paper Pumpkin subscribers. Paper Pumpkin is my favorite Stampin' Up! product line. I love how creative everyone is with the kits and how they seem to meet the needs I have when I have them. I always try to make my subscribers a card using supplies and stamps from the kits and find that our Note Cards and Envelopes are perfect for this. This month, while I didn't have enough pieces left to do my 20 subscriber cards, I did have enough to use them as templates so you could make this card with your November kit with a few additions.
For this card, I laid one of the leaf dies included in the kit on a 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 piece of Whisper White. Then I sponged it using Old Olive ink. I then stamped Joy at the bottom. I liked the ombre look of this piece. Then I put one of the Cherry Cobbler tags behind it (or 1 1/2 x 2 3/4 piece put through your Banner Triple Punch) using adhesive. Tie a bow in the cherry twine and add to the top using one of your glue dots. Then mount on a Whisper White notecard and envelope using dimensionals. Stamp the leaf on the card twice in Old Olive ink. If you got the October kit, use one of those stamps for the inside.
Supplies:
- Cardstock/DSP: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
- Ink: Old Olive
- Stamp: Back in Plaid (PP November 2017), Pining for Plaid (PP October 2017)
- Accessories: Whisper White Note card and Envelopes, Glue Dots, Cherry Twine, Banner Triple Punch, Dimensionals, Sponge, Scissors
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!

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.

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.
