Paper Pumpkin December 2015 Kit

Hello and Welcome to my Blog!
Today I want to share with you the Paper Pumpkin December 2015 kit - One Great Year Calendar. I had so much fun building this project, and I think the Paper Pumpkin designing team did a great job, the colors are soft and the embellishments are whimsical, you will enjoy looking at every single one of the pages. I wanted to leave it just like they created it, except I just switched some of the colors, and added some basic pearls and rhinestones to the flowers,  you will see that on my pictures below.

Please whatch this video tutorial so you can see how this kit is created originally:

These are the Calendar Pages the way I built them.

You can place your pages on the gold metal stand provided in the kit.

 Or you can opt like I did here by binding the pages using a couple of 1 inch binding rings, very easy and this method will keep your pages together neatly.

The picture below shows how I stamped the back of each calendar page with the Writitng Notes stamp set, and I also used the "birthday" sentiment from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set and I hand wrote the "s" at end of the word by using a coordinating stampin marker. This will allow me to write some important birthdays on the back of each month.

Stampin'Up 2015 Christmas Cards and Projects

Hello and Welcome!
On this post I am sharing some of my Christmas Cards and Projects I worked on during this 2015 Holiday Season..

These Cards were made using the Embellished Ornaments stamp set and thinlits Bundle

Wine Tags

 Gift Bag made with 2 12X12 pieces of Designer Paper. Snowflake is made by using The Festive Flurry stamp set and thinlits Bundle. I used Soft Sky color and silver glimmer paper for this project.

Watch this video tutorial by Dee Slater to learn how to make this bag.

The flower on this card was made using the Flower Frenzy Bigz Die, I cut 2 each of the smaller flowers on the die and attach them with dimmentionals in the center of each. 

 This is a Shadow Box Card and I used the Cozy Christmas stamp set.

Watch this video tutorial to learn how to make the card base.

 For this card I used the Evergreen stamp set, Blackberry Bliss and Very Vanilla card stock and Neutrals designer paper stack. The sentiment is from Reason for the Season stamp set.

This card was made with the Winter Wishes stamp set.

For this card I just embossed with white embossing powder the image from Remembering Christmas stamp set then I fussy cut image and attach with dimmentionals. The sentiment is from Project Life December Wonder stamp set.

This card was made using the Reason for the Season stamp and Festive Flower Punch Bundle. I stamp on Vellum paper with gold embossing powder, then I sponged the leaves with Cherry Cobbler ink color. I used Very Vanilla card stock for the card base and layered it with some Gold glimmer paper.

 These Gift card or Treat Holders were made with the Square Pillow Box Thinlits dies.

I hope you liked these projects and find some inspiration. If you would like to purchase some of the supplies used to make these projects,  please visit my Stampin'Up Website Here.

November 2015 Paper Pumpkin Mistletoe Card Alternatives

Hello and Welcome to my Blog!

Today I am sharing the November 2015 Paper Pumpkin, and these are some Alternative ideas for the Mistletoe Card. This is the second card in the kit, check my last post to see the Holly Card alternatives.  On the Mistletoe Card I also added several different dies, embossing folders to add texture, buttons, gold sequin and designer papers, also some ribbon, gold embossing powder and dazzling diamonds stampin glitter.
You will notice, I used old and new and I really like to use any possible accessory stamp or embellishment, I tried to keep them as simple as possible using the same supplies and stamps designated for this card design. The possibilities are endless you can mix and match, or keep it as the original design and still the results are so amazing!

I hope you liked these alternative ideas and found some inspiration and I hope you decide to join the Fun with Paper Pumpkin ! If you would like to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin please click Here.

November 2015 Paper Pumpkin Holly Card Alternatives

Hello and Welcome to my Blog!

Today I want to share with you the November 2015 Paper Pumpkin.  This is a lot of fun, from the moment I receive this cute box to the time I spend creating and playing with different layouts, and seeing the fantastic results, I am very surprised about how they turned out after adding a few different elements, dies and Designer papers.
If you are a begginer crafter this is a great option!, Paper Pumpkin Kits come in a cute box which includes everything you need to create, all you will need is some scissors and adhesive. Paper Pumpkin comes once a month. They have month to month subscriptions at $19.95/mo shipping included or prepaid subscriptions.

On this picture you see all that you get on your November Kit.

These are my 5 different alternatives to the Holly Card. I tried to use mostly the elements on the kit and not too many layers so they still fit in the envelopes for mailing out.

I hope you liked my alternative for the Holly Card, this is my first attempt to create different alternatives and I will be working on the Mistletoe Card next so please come back and visit soon!
