Tips on earning & using these coupons:

Below is a sneak peak of the upcoming 3 months of Paper Pumpkin kits. There is an optional add on that coordinates with each of these kits! See that here. 

Remember that Paper Pumpkin subscribers get perks!  They are eligible to purchase any of the available past kits, refills or add ons.  I love the refill options; they're a fabulous deal!  See those here.

  • My Sale-a-Bration & New Catalog open house displays

    I don't think I shared my displays & boards from my January New Catalog Open House yet!  

    Some are my own cards but many of these projects are swaps I received.  

    First is my 2022 Sale-a-Bration display table.

    This first board features half of the Sale-a-Bration offerings including the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6" DSP, the Driving By stamp set, Catching Butterflies stamp set, Simply Marbelous 6 X 6" DSP and the Island Vibes stamp set.  

    See all of our 2022 Sale-a-Bration products here.  Remember you can get these items FREE with each $50-100 you order from Stampin' Up! in February. 

    This next board and display features the Friendly Hello bundle, Daffodil Afternoon 12 X 12" DSP, the Calming Camellia host stamp set and more Sunshine & Rainbows & Driving by samples.

  • The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video

    I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle. 

    Honeybee Home white washing technique Save
    You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here. 

    Honeybee Home white washing technique Save

    Please watch the video to see how to do this.  Here are some tips:

    • I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
    • Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
    • If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink. 
    • I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.  
    • You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image.

    I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.  

    The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to.

  • How I made this neat Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold card

    We made this fantastic Pop-up Gift Bag fun fold card at my January card clubs. It's such a unique and special way to add a gift card or a little something extra inside a card!

    I used the Friendly Hello bundle from our 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. See it here. It's free with any $100 purchase from my online Stampin' Up! store.  

    Isn't it extraordinary!?  Everyone loved their finished card and most were surprised at how easy it was. Here's a close-up of the inside.
