Paper Pumpkin Paloza

So I finally had a chance to play with some of my Paper Pumkin kits over the holidays.  I thought I would share a few with you.

20140110_160429

This was the latest Paper Pumkin.  I loved the cute little wooden people that it came with.  It’s a fun album that you can jot down everything that happens in real life.

20140110_160416

I added a bit of extra ribbon, paper and ink colors to spice up these cards a bit.  I love that the Paper Pumpkin kits coordinate with our regular products so well.

Hexagon’s are all the rage right now and they are so cute on these fun cards.  So simple and easy.  Of course I had to change each one up a bit.

20140110_160357

I was kind of glad that I waited to do this kit because I was able to use the new hexagon framelit to create this darling card using some of the extra products left over.

20140110_160214

These were made with the trial kit which is a fun little notebook pictured on the right.  There are lots of extra butterflies so I created a couple of cards with the extra’s.

How cute is this note hanger.  Plenty of room to write lots of messages.  The products in this kit were also used to make the Santa note hanger I featured in my class last month created by my awesome friend Heather.

20140110_160130

This by far was my favorite kit.  I featured a Noel Banner and a card using this kit during my Crazy for Christmas classes last month.  So glad I got this darling kit.

Oh, Hello Simple Card

I really love how simple this card is.  I believe I got the idea from a card in our Demonstrator Magazine “Stampin’ Success.”  This is a bi-monthly magazine that we get as Demonstrators packed full of ideas, techniques and training.  Just another great benefit of being a demonstrator.

20140110_160723

This card features the fun square framelits, a quick easy way to make a frame.  I absolutely loved this idea when I first saw it in the annual catalog.  This card is simple.  It’s finished of with new washi tape from the occasions catalog and just a touch of in-color ribbon.

So where do you get your inspiration.  Hopefully I have given some to you today.  This is also one of the cards that you can make at Stampin’ Buffet this month.  Click here to find out more.  I hope you will join me.

Fun Christmas Picture Ornament

I’m serving in our ward nursery and we wanted to make a cute gift that the kids could give their parents for Christmas.  My daughter just happens to be one of our cute nursery kids.  The ornament turned out so cute that I just had to share them with you.

20140110_162844

First this is the front with the darling picture of my daughter.  Thanks to technology it was easy to take pictures of the kids with my phone each week.  Then I used My Digital Studio to get them the perfect size and to change them all to sepia to match the ornaments better.

I used the scallop circle die to cut out a piece of card board (Of course I had plenty from the back of our great products.  I save all of them they are so great for many projects.)  I covered the chipboard with a piece of Old Olive paper cut out with the scallop circle die and embossed with the pedals of plenty embossing folder.  The chocolate chip background and the picture were cut out using the circle thinlits.  I finished it off with the fun thinlit Merry.  (Just a tip if you use wax paper.  Wax side towards the paper.  The paper will come out nice and easy without tearing.)20140110_162907

This is the cute back side.  We had each child stamp their hand print and we added a name a date.  I even made a few with pictures of Jesus in case we had a few visitors.  (So glad I did since we had 2.)  The parents loved them.  I love how it looks I my tree.

20140110_174617

I finished it off by making custom sized envelopes with our Envelope punch board.  We had the kids color them to make them extra special.  Then we tied them shut with a quick ribbon and added a tag.  I love love love the new scalloped tag topper punch in the occasions mini.  It made it so easy to add Christmas tags to these and all my Christmas presents.  (Just a note the stamp set is an old Christmas tag set the I love to use every year.  It makes tags so easy and I never run out.)

Personally I love having ornament that are pictures of my kids.  It’s so fun to get them out as see them every year.  Hopefully you are inspired to make a cute ornament for your tree next year using some of our great products mixed with your imagination.

Thank You card

Over the weekend I went to a Stampin’ Up! Training meeting with my awesome up-line and group.  These events are always filled with friends, great training and fun projects that I will be sharing with you.  However we also usually have a card swap and contest.  I was so excited to find out that I won second place with my Thank You card.  So I just had to share it with all of you.  You may notice that some of it looks familiar.  I took the tag from my Zucchini from the other day and created a card.  Hope you enjoy it.
