A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea


The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene.  It's one of my favorite techniques! 

One of the stencils has clouds in it.  I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS. 

Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge.  Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink.  I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!  

The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

The April kit is called 'So Cool' with a 'treats' theme. Opt in to get it by April 10th! 

  • The So Cool Paper Pumpkin Kit is a little taste of summer fun, with enough supplies to make 12 colorful, shaped cards with coordinating envelopes. Six card bases are popsicle shaped, the other six are semicircles: three watermelons and three rainbows. All of the cards are splashed with cheerful, vivid watercolor images. The kit also includes two full-size, matching sticker sheets, die-cut accents, fun embellishments, and more.
  • Even though the So Cool Kit was designed with kids in mind, these fun-shaped cards, featuring vivid watercolors, are versatile enough to gift to kids of all ages—the young in years and the young at heart. They’re a great way to send some “sunshine in a card!” Who wouldn’t love that?
  • The kit’s exclusive So Cool Stamp Set is versatile, offering sentiments that can be used for multiple occasions such as birthdays, congrats, cheer, and more! It’s a great addition to any crafter’s collection.

  • In Color bundle special offer ends May 1st!


    Each year with the new in colors release I offer my customers a special In Color Bundle.  I include lots of items so you have perfectly coordinating products to create with. 

    I created these CUTE cards with all 5 new In Colors and the Crafting with You bundle. 

    I used many products that are included in my special bundle: card stock, ink, ribbons, dots and designer series paper.  They're a great example of all you can create when your products coordinate so perfectly. 

    If you look closely you can see that I stamped a background in each color of ink using the new Cheerful Daisies stamp set. 


    Look at the die-cutting machine; it even has textured paper going through it!  I did that by cutting a slit with my craft knife. The large white angled die-cut is made with the new Countryside Corners dies.  

    Everyone who pre-orders my In Color bundle will receive a free bonus of a ribbon share & In Color dots too!

    In Colors include: Pebbled Path, Moody Mauve, Copper Clay, Boho Blue & Wild Wheat

    Interested in the In Color bundle? There are three choices for you through May 1st:

    Option 1: Get the 5 ink pads, 5 ink refills, 20 sheets 8 1/2" X 11" cardstock, 10 sheets new 6" In Color DSP and get the free ribbon share & in Color gems. $93 (*Long distance customers add $8.50 for Priority shipping for options 1 or 2) 

    Option 2: Get all of the In Color items above PLUS 5 new In Color Blends markers – pay for 4 and get 1 FREE. Cost $142 total

    Option 3: Add on the new Designer Paper share to either option 1 or 2 – 80 sheets of 6 X 6" DSP. Cost is $28.50. *see photo below.  *click here to order it separately. 

    *Long distance customers message me here if you'd like one of these options and I'll send you an invoice. 

    Here are another fabulous group of cards with these in colors, created by Sue Stampfield. She shared these cards in a swap group I'm in with her.  She used the Circle Sayings bundle; another new product you can get on May 2nd!  *or earlier if you are a Demonstrator

  • A NEW catalog bundle – Timeless Arrangements. And a NEW Designer Paper share too!


    If you're near me in Minot, ND I hope you'll plan to come to my New Catalog Launch party on Saturday, April 29th.  It's at 1st Lutheran Church from 10-12:30 pm.

    I have been prepping and working hard on samples, displays, special offers and more. I love to spoil my customers with yummy treats too!

    Would you like to receive every sheet of designer paper in the new Annual Catalog?  I'm doing my usual designer paper share with the new catalog. It includes 12 different packs of NEW DSP. 

    Go here to sign up for your share.  Or message me here with any questions you have. (Locals please message me to sign up)

    Check out this pretty card made with a brand new bundle from the upcoming 2023 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!


    It's called Timeless Arrangements and Demonstrators could pre-order it before the catalog launches on May 2nd for customers.  It was one of my top choices; I've made at least 4 cards with it so far and will be sharing them with you in the next week. 

    My colors include Starry Sky, White and Fresh Freesia.  I paired it with a new package of 6 X 6" designer paper called Bright & Beautiful. 

    Here's how I stamped the inside.  I used two of the foliage images on one block and stamped them repeatedly in first and second generation.

    I shared another version in my video yesterday; see it here.  This card features Petal Pink with Starry Sky along with a bit of Calypso Coral. Which do you prefer? 

    click here or on the photo below to watch the video; it's the second project.

  • Dainty Delight swap with a few new colors!


    Here's my swap for our Flowerbug's 'Fancy Border' theme.  I chose to use the returning color 'Berry Burst' with Black & White.  

    The embossing folder is called Painted Texture 3D; you can see it here.

    Tip: Need thread or twine to add to your card? I used thread from our White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon under my greeting.  I simply pulled one thread from the ribbon end, smoothed it out with my fingers, and would it into a circle. 

    The flower & leaves die-cuts are from the Dainty Delight bundle; as well as the pretty greeting.  See it here.  The stamp set & dies are carrying over into the new Annual Catalog however they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.  

    I used two NEW products on this card.  Can you spot them?  

    New items: 

    1. A few flowers are in one of our newest In Colors – Moody Mauve. 
    2. The greeting die-cut is from the new Timeless Arrangements. 

    See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  I'm so glad they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.
