December Paper Pumpkin: Lots of Pun

With all the extra mail flowing through the postal system right now, it took a bit of extra time for my December Paper Pumpkin kit to get to me.  It arrived two days before Christmas, and I didn't have a chance to even open it until two days ago.  This kit is designed so that you can send some lighthearted greetings to let others know that you are thinking of them.

The January Paper Pumpkin Kit will be perfect for Valentines Day, and in addition, Paper Pumpkin subscribers will have the option of purchasing an add on kit to extend it even further.  You can get all the details here.  Subscribe by January 10 to make sure you don't miss it.

Frosted Gingerbread Snowflake Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Frosted Gingerbread
    Ink: Real Red
    Card Stock:
        Cinnamon Cider  - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
        Early Espresso - 5 1/4" x 4"
        Crumb Cake - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
        Gingerbread & Peppermint  Designer Series Paper - 2" x 3 7/8"
        Basic White - 3" x 3"
    Accessories: Gingerbread Dies, Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon, Champagne Rhinestones and Stampin' Dimensionals

Even though Christmas is over, I still have on Christmas sample to show you.  I had planned to show it last week, but life go busy and I decided to grant myself grace and I chose not to blog last week so I could focus on my family and the holidays.  At any rate, this card is one of the first that I made with the stamp set way back this summer when I originally received it.  It's a rather straightforward design that would be easy to replicate in larger quantities.  The Frosted Gingerbread set is retiring on January 3, and although it looks like the dies are sold out, you can still get the stamp set.

Eden's Garden Fun Fold Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Eden's Garden
    Ink: Evening Evergreen
    Card Stock:
        Soft Succulent  - 5 1/2" x 11", scored at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" and 7"; 2 1/2" x 5"
        Ever Eden Designer Series Paper - 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" (2) and 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" (2)
        Evening Evergreen - 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" (2), 3" x 6", scored at 3"; 3 1/2" x 4"
        Gold Foil - 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
    Accessories: Eden Dies, Layering Circles Dies, Tasteful Labels Dies, Gilded Gems and Stampin' Dimensionals

This is a card I made with my friend Ruth, and it is a fantastic design that does a great job of showcasing the Eden's Garden suite.  With the dimensions I gave you above, it should be fairly straightforward, but I can give you one tip.  When you are ready to position the 3" x 6" folded piece, first accordion fold the front closed.  Next, slip the folded 3" x 6" piece into the position where you would like it.  Fold back the top part and place adhesive only on the right edge.  Flip it back and adhere to the front.  At that point, you can open the whole front section together and adhere the backside of the 3" x 6" piece, making sure you only place adhesive on the right edge.

The Eden's Garden set and Eden Dies will be featured in the January-June catalog, but are available now.  Until January 3 (or while supplies last), you can also get the coordinating Ever Eden Designer Series Paper and a couple of other products.  You can check out the entire promotion on my website here.

#SimpleStamping Friday: Holly Christmas Wishes

Materials:
    Stamps: Whimsical Trees and Holly Jolly Wishes
    Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow and Real Red
    Card Stock:
        Basic White - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
    Accessories: Blending Brushes and Blender Pens

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today's #SimpleStamping Friday card is a super simple card that only requires one piece of card stock!  I took a piece of scrap paper and masked off all but about an inch of my card.  Then I used the Blending Brushes to fill in color, giving the illusion of an additional layer.  Finally, I stamped my images before removing the scrap paper.  Super quick and super easy but still beautiful.

    Ink: Highland Heather, Old Olive and Memento Black
    Card stock:
        Highland Heather - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
        Old Olive - 5 1/4" x 4"
        Crushed Curry - 2 1/4" x 5 1/4"

I realize that it is the middle of December and most of us are knee deep in Christmas creations, but the first of the year is right around the corner, and with it, a new catalog.  I thought today I would give you a sneak peek of one of our new bundles.  The Honeybee Home stamp set consists of three floral images, three honeybees and several sentiments in a lovely script font.  The coordinating Honeybee Blooms dies give you maximum flexibility with the images.  Finally the Hive folder and the Brushed Brass Butterflies add a nice bit of texture and accent to the card.  These products will be available beginning on January 4.

Whimsical Trees in Misty Moonlight

Materials:
    Stamps: Whimsical Trees
    Ink: Misty Moonlight, Mint Macaron and Polished Pink
    Card stock:
        Mint Macaron - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
        Misty Moonlight - 5 1/4" x 4"
        Whimsy and Wonder Designer Series Paper - 3" x 4"
        Basic White - 1 3/4" x 5" (2)

 

When the Last Chance list was released, I was really sad to see the Whimsical Trees bundle wasn't being carried over.  I don't usually go for the whimsical look, but there was just something about this bundle I loved.  It was definitely my go-to stamp set this season.  I think part of it was that the colors in the paper were still classic colors, just in a slightly different shade.  It made for a nice change of pace.

Although the Whimsy and Wonder Designer Series Paper is sold out, you can still get the stamp set and die bundle.  If you just want the Whimsical Trees stamp set, the set itself is 25% off.  Either way, theses products are only available while supplies last!

#SimpleStamping Friday: Candy Cane Christmas

Materials:
    Stamps: Candy Canes and Holly Jolly Wishes
    Ink: Real Red
    Card stock:
        Basic White - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" and 3" x 3"
        Real Red - 5 1/4" x 4" and 3" x 3"
        Blushing Bride - 3" x 3"

 

 

Candy canes are a quintessential Christmas item.  I realize that they make candy canes in all different colors and flavors, but to me a candy cane is only red, pink and white.  For today's #SimpleStamping Friday card, I used the Candy Cane background stamp and I paired it with a simple greeting.  This card was really quick to make and would be a great one to do up in multiples, especially at this point in the season!
