Season of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Kit

 
Yikes!! I can't believe it has been 3 weeks since I was last here.  Tristan started hockey and that has taken the schedule to a whole new level! He has made the Colorado Rampage Squirt A Team.  We are out every night of the week with either hockey or gymnastics and this past weekend we had out first Hockey tournament in Denver. With all that, homework and Ashley's shift schedule, it is tough finding my creative time and my motivation.  I miss having you all over for classes and motivating me to create for you.

I thought to get back into creating I would start with the most recent Paper Pumpkin Kit that came in the mail.  It is called Season of Gratitude and it was so much fun to put together.  It took me awhile to get it done due to my schedule but Paper Pumpkin kits are designed to be your 30 min creative escape.  The October kit makes 8 cards and what makes them really exciting is that they are shaker cards!


You can see so many different ways of using the Paper Pumpkin kit contents as well by visiting Pinterest and search for Stampin' Up! Seasons of Gratitude, or just search Paper Pumpkin and look at all the wonderful ideas out there.

Eye-Catching IKAT!!

Have you had a look at the clearance rack lately?  I was so excited to see some of the photopolymer stamp sets we introduced monthly when we were first getting into photopolymer.  Of course, I purchased quite a few of them and than ran out to time and didn't get a chance to use them.

Well, since they are on the clearance rack and you stil can buy them, then I can still use them!!

One of my favourites is Eye-Catching IKAT!

I visited Pinterest to find some inspiration!  I was determined the use every stamp in the set and I wanted to keep the cards simple so they can reproduced quickly.  Single layer keeps it simple and then just a few rhinestones here and there to embellish. 
Look at all the cards I made! 
 
Tracy May had a few cards on Pinterest that turned the images into doodle characters.  It was so fun!  I ended up using one of the little critters on my card.  Isn't he so cute?

Happy World Card Making Day!


I honestly don't know where the past week has gone!  I sure haven't had much time at home this week, but today is World Card Making Day and I am going to set some time aside just for me to stamp!!  I am in need for all sorts of cards to send to my friends, I am really behind!

Do you remember the last time you received a card in the mail?  In a sea of junk mail and bills, a card is a simple thing that really stands out to the person who receives it.  Sending a card is a small gesture that shows just how much you care about that special someone in your life.

And in celebration of World Card Making Day, from October 1-5, you can save up to 25% on card making essentials that can be used to share your love all year long! (October Hostess Code is at bottom of post if ordering online)




Now, if these deals aren't enough for the next 5 days... how about a promotion that lasts all month! 


That's right... it's that time again when we offer Designer Paper for Buy 3 get 1 Free!
