Vlogtober Day 18 - Friends of a Feather Paper Pumpkin

I think that Paper Pumpkin speaks for itself.  However, I would like to point out a few things. It's a monthly subscription offered by Stampin' Up! for only $19.95 (plus tax in some areas). You receive you box after the 10th of the month, and it contains everything you need to complete the projects.

It's like getting a little happy mail every month.  The kits lately have been some of my favorites!!  I am excited for next months, as there is PLAID on the box.  That's a strong indication of what is inside!!!


The October kit contained some lovely materials to make these two beautiful cards. I am not into the feather trend as most are, but I am loving them on these cards.


If you are interested in subscribing to Paper Pumpkin, you can click here to start your subscription.  You can cancel at any time, but why!! Or you can skip a month as needed.

                

There are so many tutorials out there showing alternatives for the kit.  This gives you more opportunities to use the stamp set over and over again.

Vlogtober Day 17 - Snowflake Showcase


Let it snow! Or at least, create a snowy wonderland using this incredible assortment of products. With two stamp sets, paper, accessories, and dies, the only limit is your creativity!

These items will be available to customers on November 1st, for a limited time. As a demonstrator, I was able to pre-order and play to show their versatility.  And for me these are the best kind of snowflakes, ok maybe not the best but it's not cold in my craft room...hehehe

Check out how many framelits you get!!!



I wanted to combine this set with our Bursho, to give the background a night sky.  I love to watch snowflakes at night, I see them clearly compared to the day time.

Here is my first creation since receiving this gorgeous set

Whisper White - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4, 2 1/4 x 1 1/4 for sentiment

Vlogtober Day 16 - Dandelions with Color

When I made this card I was thinking of a time when I had no worries.  Well, except how to get all the little lions off with one breath.


I love this stamp set, and yet again I have used the wood textures paper.  I just love that stuff!!!

This time when I colored the paper, I didn't want to cover the entire sheet so I thought of it as paint. To have the dandelions look as if they were planted against the side of a shed, or old barn.  And they are just waiting for a young girl to come and breath.

Mint Macaron Cardbase - 11 x 4 1/4, scored at 5 1/2
Black Mat - 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
