Thank So Much


I totally forgot to post these! After the holidays I sent out thank you cards to pretty much everyone I saw. I was going for quick and easy - although these cards really are easy, I did a lot more to them than I originally planned so they took a bit longer. But it's okay because I really like how they turned out!

Paper Pumpkin #1



Starting in March, Stampin' Up! is offering a series of kits called Paper Pumpkin. Basically, you sign up and each month you receive a kit. These kits come with everything you need to create that month's project, be it stamps, ribbon, paper, stickers, etc (and, of course, instructions!). If you just want to try it out instead of quickly committing to it monthly, there is a trial you can purchase where you will just receive one month's project.

The pictures above are one sample of these kits. The top left card pictured is the standard layout for the kit. I decided to play around the pieces and create different layouts to show the versatility of the kit - you don't have to follow the instructions exactly if you won't want to! This particular kit comes with four pieces of pre-cut cardstock for the card base, four pieces of circle patterned paper, a sheet of stickers (scallops, striped banners, sun-shapes), two clear stamps, and buttons.
