It’s the last day to get January’s Paper Pumpkin kit! *add on dies to match!


Today is the last day to opt in on January's Paper Pumpkin kit featuring Lovely Lavender. 

They've announced the next three month's themes of Paper Pumpkin and there's a cool add-on die set called Love of Spring. These dies coordinate with the January, February & March kits!  It's only $12 but you do need to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to get them.  See them here. 

Not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber yet?  It's so fun to get a ready made kit in the mail each month! I highly recommend choosing a pre-paid subscription during Sale-a-Bration.  If you choose a 3, 6 or 12 month pre-paid subscription you will get a free Sale-a-Bration choice!  Or more than one if you choose the 6 or 12 month subscription.  See the available Sale-a-Bration choices here: 

It's the best way to go if you like to receive a crafty surprise each month. click here to get one.

We're usually told what the them is before the 10th of each month so we can opt out if we do not want it. Which kits you receive is totally under your control!  

Once you're a subscriber you can get any of the add-ons or the refill kits. They often add the refills to the monthly kits after the subscription period is over.  These refills have everything you need to make more of the original kit projects except for the stamps or ink. It's wonderful if you really love the projects in the kit!

  • See how the Josephs Coat Technique is done; with video & free project sheet


    Here's another project made on last week's Live video; it's the Josephs Coat technique using the new, upcoming Leaf Collection stamp.  

    That greeting stamp & scalloped oval die-cut are from the new Unbounded Love bundle from the upcoming 2024 Annual Catalog. I showed how to do this technique in the video here.  I also have a free project sheet with directions. 

    Here are the steps:

    1. Sponge ink all over a neutral piece of card stock – Pretty Peacock, new Summer Splash and lastly Granny Apple Green. 
    2. Wipe off any excess ink with a tissue to remove moisture.  Swipe with an embossing buddy.
    3. Ink your stamp in Versamark ink. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder.  
    4. Use a water-based ink pad like Memento Black and rub or tap the ink over it all.  This is called 'Direct to Paper'. 
    5. With a damp tissue or paper towel, wipe off excess ink from the embossed area. It will not stay on the embossed area. 
    6. Finish your card as you'd like. 

    I inked the stamp again in a few colors – Granny Apple Green & Summer Splash, and fussy cut some leaves out for accents. Dies used above include Something Fancy & Stylish Shapes. 

    The card below features an emboss resist technique.  Same colors but the steps are different. 

    1. First I stamped using Versamark ink onto White card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 
    2. Then I added ink over the clear embossing; using Blending Brushes. Inks include: Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.  *This must be water-based ink!
    3. Use a damp tissue or paper towel to wipe off excess ink that will not stick to the embossed areas. Done! 

    The greeting is from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (online exclusive) and the tags are from the Something Fancy dies (carrying over).

  • Let’s Chat is cute & nostalgic! See the video & free project sheet


    Today I'm sharing one of the Club cards we made during my April Card Clubs. I chose the 'Let's Chat' stamp set seen here. 

    I love this set!  Between the fun old-fashioned telephone, the greetings and the curvy 'cord' images it's a blast to create with. 

    I chose to use the retiring Hot Air Balloon designer paper seen here for my color palette of Fresh Freesia & Balmy Blue. We did fussy cut the head set to add at the top with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

    For the inside of the card I used the Happy Little Things stamp set seen here.  I really like the many greeting combinations you can make. t's one of our online exclusives.
