March 2023 Paper Pumpkin: Ten Years of Growth

It's been a busy couple of weeks around here, and I'm finally getting a chance to post my March Paper Pumpkin cards.  This kit was called Ten Years of Growth and is a celebration of Paper Pumpkin's tenth anniversary.  The cards are beautiful floral images that would be good for many different occasions from birthdays to thinking of you to sympathy.

 

There are still a few days left to sign up for the April kit which is called All the Little Things.  This kit will continue on the theme of growth and allow you to create nine cards that celebrate the little things in life.  This kit will also come with a free organizer that fits into the Paper Pumpkin box and will help you organize the leftover supplies from past kits.  Subscribe by April 10!

Finally, when you place an order on my website of at least $30 in the month of April using hostess code KGNVMAMF  I will send you a card kit containing the supplies to make these four cards that we created at my last card class.  I will also email you copies of the samples along with supply lists.

Happy stamping!

A couple of weeks ago, I found myself in need of a baby card for a baby shower the next day.  I admit to feeling lazy and while I was at the store (the one with the big red bullseye) I decided I was just going to buy a card.  I went over the card section and I just couldn't bring myself to spend $6 on a card when I had a whole room of perfectly good card making supplies.  I came home and in less than ten minutes, I had this card put together.  Lesson learned....next time just make the card, lol.

 

This card has several retiring products on it including the Celebrating You stamp set, the Heart Punch Pack, the Country Floral Lane DSP and the Champagne Rhinestones.  Make sure you check out the entire selection of retiring products.  The Last Chance Sale begins today, and things are sure to move quickly.

Finally, when you place an order on my website of at least $30 in the month of April using hostess code KGNVMAMF  I will send you a card kit containing the supplies to make these four cards that we created at my last card class.  I will also email you copies of the samples along with supply lists.

The Retiring Lists Have Been Released

The retiring lists for the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog as well as the January-April catalog have been released.  As I suspected, among other things, we are having another color refresh.  The following eleven colors are retiring:

• Mango Melody
• Bermuda Bay
• Pacific Point
• Rich Razzleberry
• Merry Merlot
• Soft Suede
• Sahara Sand
• Blushing Bride
• So Saffron
• Pear Pizzazz
• Mint Macaron

Taking their place, we will have four brand new colors as well as seven returning favorites, and I can't wait to share these colors with you!  

 

For now, however, I have the retiring lists.  You can view the annual catalog retiring list here and the January-April retiring list here.  While you certainly can place orders for these products now, beginning on April 4, many of these products will be available on sale with discounts of up to 60% off.  That said, products are only available while supplies last and when they are gone, they are gone.  If there is anything you absolutely want, particularly in any of the retiring colors, I would urge you to order sooner rather than later.

Finally, when you place an order on my website of at least $30 in the month of March using hostess code ZPPZAK3J  I will send you a card kit containing the supplies to make these four cards that we created at my last card class.  I will also email you copies of the samples along with supply lists.

Paper Pumpkin February 2023: Sunshine and Smiles Alternates Post 2

Today, I have my final installment in the series of cards I made using the February Paper Pumpkin kit, Sunshine and Smiles.  These cards were made using only the stamps from the kit.  The stamps in this kit are fun and cheerful.  You can tell that I had spring on my mind when I made these cards!  I chose colors that were bright and happy to go along with the images, making this trio of cards something to make anybody smile!

There are still a few more days to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin so that you can receive the March kit.  This March marks the 10th anniversary of Paper Pumpkin, and not only will you get a versatile kit perfect for creating cards good for any occasion, you will get a bonus free stamp set as well.  Subscribe by March 10 to receive yours!

Sweet Citrus Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Sweet Citrus
    Ink: Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight
    Card Stock:
        Basic White - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 4" x 5", 1 1/4" x 2 3/4" and 2" x 3"
        Granny Apple Green - 5 1/4" x 4"
        Daffodil Delight - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
    Accessories: Sweet Citrus Dies and Folder and Stampin' Dimensionals

 

 

After the big snowstorm we had over the weekend, I thought it would be nice to share a card that was bright and cheerful.  This card uses the Sweet Citrus bundle to create a card that will bring sunshine to any recipient.  One of the unique features about this bundle is that you get not only coordinating dies, but an embossing folder as well.  To create this card, I first stamped my citrus pieces (which are one big stamp) on Basic White card stock.  Next, I ran it though the embossing folder, making sure to line up the stamped images with where they would be embossed.  Finally, I die cut the images so that they could be placed on the card.

Finally, when you place an order on my website of at least $30 in the month of March using hostess code ZPPZAK3J  I will send you a card kit containing the supplies to make these four cards that we created at my last card class.  I will also email you copies of the samples along with supply lists.

#SimpleStamping Friday: Forever Fern

Materials:
    Stamps: Forever Fern
    Ink: Starry Sky
    Card Stock:
        Basic White - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and 1 3/4" x 2 1/4" (4)
        Pacific Point- 5 1/4" x 4"
        Starry Sky - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
        Sun Prints Designer Series Paper - 1 5/8" x 2 1/8" (3)
    Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals

 

 

 

 

 

Today's #SimpleStamping Friday is a really great design that would be super easy to copy and change up just by changing out the elements in the rectangles.  I chose to use designer series paper in three of mine with a sentiment on the fourth, but you could stamp all three or do a combination.  And, just by changing the papers, you can completely change the feeling of the card.  I love when a design is nice and versatile!

Finally, when you place an order on my website of at least $30 in the month of March using hostess code ZPPZAK3J  I will send you a card kit containing the supplies to make these four cards that we created at my last card class.  I will also email you copies of the samples along with supply lists.

February 2023 Paper Pumpkin: Sunshine and Smiles Alternates Post 1

The February Paper Pumpkin, Sunshine and Smiles, came with some lovely preprinted cards that were a lot of fun to cut apart and use in different with ways.  For these cards, I used the supplies in the kit with only the addition of a few sheets of card stock.  The bright colors and fun images brought a smile to my face, and I can only imagine how they would brighten the day for somebody who receives one when they least expect it!

The March kit is all about celebrating Paper Pumpkin's tenth anniversary and will contain a bonus free stamp set.  Make sure you subscribe by March 10 so that you can receive it. 

The other thing I want to mention is that beginning today, we now have a batch of products that are available exclusively online.  There is no end date to this promotion, although some will be available only while supplies last and others may be reordered when supply runs out.  You can check out these online exclusives on my website here.

Petal Park Birthday Card

    Stamps: Petal Park
    Ink: Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral
    Card Stock:
        Calypso Coral - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
        Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4" x 4"

    Accessories: Desert Details Dies, Something Fancy Dies, Petal Park Punch, Old Olive Light Blends, Calypso Light and Dark Blends, Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins and Stampin' Dimensionals

 

 

 

 

 

As I sit here typing up this post, we are in the midst of another snowstorm with more on the way at the end of the week.  It was below zero overnight Sunday night and spring feels like it is far, far away.  This card helps me to remember that warmer days will indeed come and is a great one to send out for a March birthday.  It uses lots of products from the January-April catalog, but you could also easily substitute many of those products with others.  The focal point image is the Petal Park stamp set and punch.  I love how easy it is to punch the flowers out and then quickly add them to the stamped image.  It makes placement super easy!

When you place an order on my website of at least $30 in the month of February using hostess code ZPPZAK3J you will be entered into a drawing for a mystery grab bag of products valued of at least $40.  These products are all retired, but they are new and unopened. Winner will be announced at the beginning of March.  

Happy stamping!
