July 2014 Paper Pumpkin fun Wish Big

Can I just say I am so in love with this kit.  Seriously I had so much fun creating these projects.  When I saw the kit at Convention I couldn’t wait to get home and put them together.   I thought you would have a little fun walking through the experience with. Well kinda.  So here’s what you see when you first open the box.  This gives you a pretty indication of what every box looks like.  Just like opening a present right?

Opening Paper Pumpkin

I didn’t take a picture of everything all bundled up because I really wanted you to see what was included in this kit.  You get 6 boxes and 6 cards with envelopes.  While you get great instructions on how to make the projects on the front of the sample instructions they also love to give you extra stuff so you can have fun being creative.  This kit has so much extra stuff you will love it.

Contents of July 2014 Paper Pumpkin Kit

So first here are 4 boxes and 5 cards that I made using just what was in the kit.  Now most times you need to add adhesive and scissors, but this kit was great no adhesive needed (at least not to create the projects how they are show.)  You’ll notice that I’m only showing 5 cards and 4 boxes.  Well that’s because I already made a box and card a gave it away to an awesome customer.  The missing box, well that’s up next.

 

July 2014 Paper Pumpkin Kit Samples

 

Sara Douglass show us this idea at Convention and I just had to make one of my own.  So these cards are 2 3/4 x 4 1/4.  They are basically a regular card size cut in 1/2.  Now I could have cut the ones that came with the kit in 1/2 but I decided to just use 2 pieces of Whisper White Cardstock instead.

 

July 2014 PP- Cards in a Box

 

Now I’m sure you are dying to see the cute cards inside.  So here they are. For the most part they are just like Sara’s however I folded my cards different so I tweaked some just a bit.  I also used a few pieces of scrap Whisper White Paper for the popped up sayings as well as some dimensionals.  Now you will have plenty o the fun stickers, ribbon and accessories to make these cute cards.  I also used Softy Sky ink pad for some of the stamping.  I decided to include ribbon around the box along with a cute silver star.  Just a note I did cut off the top part of the box, I even used some of it on a card.  I also used some Soft Sky paper and the Envelope Punch Board to create a cute matching envelope.

Note- to make envelope start with a 6 x 6 paper. Follow the following punch and score system to create a rectangle envelope.

  1. Punch and score at 3 1/2
  2. Turn a 1/4 turn and punch and score at 2 1/2
  3. Turn  a 1/4 turn and punch and score at 3 1/2
  4. Turn a 1/4 turn and punch and score at 2 1/2

Once I was done I cut 1″ off the end that is in the inside the card but it’s not necessary.

July 2014 PP - Box Cards

These card’s inspired me to make some cards that would fit inside the box it’s self.  How cute are these.  So they are 1/2 the size of the ones above 2 3/4 x 2 1/8.  I was able to get all 8 cards out of one sheet of Whisper White Cardstock.  Again I added a few scraps of white, but the embellishments and stickers all came from the same paper pumpkin kit.

July 2014 PP- Mini Cards fit in box

So last I wanted to show you a card that you could make once you’ve created everything with your kit.  So this one is made with my own supplies with one exception.  I still had lots of silver stars left so I did use one of them.  This card will be featured at my  Stampin’ Buffet next month.  You’ll be able to come and make it for just $1.00 along with lots of other great cards.

End of school year fun

I hope that all of you are enjoying your summer.  For me it’s already going by so fast.  Today I thought I would share just a couple of things from the end of the school year.

First I’m now the proud mother of a High School Graduate.  I’m so proud of my son and his accomplishment.  Thanks to Stampin’ Up! celebrating his accomplishment was easy to share with others.  This is the cute announcement I made to send out to our friends and family.   Using  “My Digital Studio”  made it super easy especially with the cute layout they had designed.  I just changed it a bit to fit my needs and pictures.  I used the Embark Graduate #133467 $12.95.  I of course changed the colors to my son’s school.  I also used it to make easy decorations for his graduation party.

Zack's Graduation Announcments-001 Zack's Graduation Announcments-002

Here’s a couple of quick pictures of the fun banner along with the cards he received from family and friends.

Graduation Decorations

Graduation decorations close up

I also made this fun banner for to hang up at the party.  I supper excited to have these banners back.  I loved them in the holiday catalog and have had so much fun creating banners with them to celebrate all sorts of things.

Horray Banner

I also have to share the amazing cake my son made for him.  He may not be stamping (although he’s good at that too when he wants to) but he must get a little talent from Mom right.  He’s definitely got a knack for it that’s for sure.  I’m so glad he’s willing to help Mom out.

 

Zack & DJ with Cake

Graduation Cake

Here’s just a few pictures celebrating the big day.  I’m still not quite sure how he’s old enough to graduate because I’m not old enough, but we sure are proud of him.  I was luck enough to have my other son in the band so he was able to sit right down front and get pictures for me.

Zack Graduation

Me & Zack Graduation

While my older three boys are all in upper level schools with many teachers, my youngest is still in elementary so I wanted to make something special for his awesome teacher.

I thought that teachers can always use cards so I made this cute card holder and filled it with fun hand-stamped cards.

20140530_085952

I think it roughly holds about 15 cards.  Here’s a little closer look at the tag.  I seriously love this tag punch and I’m so glad it’s in the new catalog.  You’ll also noticed that I used a bran new stamp set on this fun project.  One of the great parts of being a demonstrator is being able to pre-order new products including new stamp sets, accessories and even in-colors.  Plus we get the catalog a whole month early to enjoy looking through.

20140530_085934

I also wanted a fun little gift for all the kids so I made them each a book-marker to help them remember to keep reading this summer.  Now I know this one used a retired stamp and I’m sad that these in-colors are gone (however I’m totally loving the new ones), but I thought he was just to cute not to use and the kids would love it.  I did use the hello from the new photoplymer set Endless Birthday Wishes.  This set has already sold out once so be sure to get yours before they are gone.

20140613_110734

Here’s my cute little one with his teacher.  We are sad that she won’t be his teacher anymore she was awesome, but I’m sure he’ll have yet another great teacher as he moves into 2nd grade.

20140530_115637

 

Thanks for letting me share a few proud moments with you.  I hope you all have a great summer with lots of Stampin’.  Be watching for all the fun summer events I have coming up.  Summer is also a great time to get together with your friends for a little stampin’ fun.  I’d love to help you out.  Just give me a call and we’ll set up a date.

PS.  I have new catalogs so be sure to come to one of my events and get yours.

Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope all of you are enjoyed your Mother’s Day.  I’m spent my Mother’s Day weekend with my husband and friends in Moab, Utah running the Red Rock Relay.  I did it last year and had so much fun.  Once again we had a great time.

Red Rock 2014

I wanted to share with you real quick the project we made last month for our monthly club.

Mother's Day Box

Each club member was able to make this adorable mother’s day gift box perfect for that special gift for mom.  The box was made using the envelope punch board.  Yes this board is great for so much more then just making envelopes.

Mother's Day Box Open

To make the box I started with an 8×8 piece of paper.  I used the punch board and lined my paper at the 5 then punched and scored.  Afterwards I moved it to the 3 and punched and scored again. I repeated this on each side of the paper.  Once I was done with that I used the corner rounder on the top to round all my edges.  Last you will want to flip the paper over and use your score board to score the center marks on each of the corners.  This is the part that you can see folded in.  This is also where I placed the glue to hold the box together.  You don’t need to do this only if you want the box to stay together withouth the belly band.  In the picture below I’ve drawn in the score lines so you can see them.

Envelope Punchboard Box instructions

I finished the box off with a fun belly band.  You’ll notice that our box matches the cute card that was available to make in the card buffet.

Mother's Day Flower Card

Here’s a close up of the cute belly band and the flowers that pop.  I finished the flowers off with a little pearl in the middle.  I love how they look.  Remember to use your bond folder to curl your flowers and give them more dimension.

Belly Band Flowers close up.

I hope you had fun sharing projects with your mother this mother’s day.  I love sharing handcrafted projects with my Mom as well as family and friends.
