Wowsers!  End of summer/beginning of school has about done me in!  Sorry for my absence!!!  So. Busy!!!  But...although I'm super sad summer is over and kids are back in school...let's here it for routine!  I will be back to regularly posting fun projects!  YAY!!!!

Along with the Paper Pumpkin kit that you receive each month...I also mail out a bonus card if you are a subscriber through me.  I make this card using just the stamp set from the kit along with other Stampin' Up! supplies from the current catalogs.  This shows you that even after your kit is completed--you have a stamp set that you can use forever!!  Here's the card I sent this month...

TGIF Challenge - 121: Girly Hello!

Well I LOVE this challenge this week!  (Do I say that every week?!  Ooops....I just really think they are so much fun!!!)  But check this one out...

A GIRLY challenge?!  Well how fun and FABULOUS is that?!   Fun fact about me...I grew up with all brothers...just 3 boys and me.  Well fast forward to when I get married and we have kids...we have three girls!  Haha.  So I grew up not so much a lover of girly things.  However...now...I'm all "girlied" in and I love it!  :-)

I mean seriously...just look how cute my kids are.  :-)


They are a blast.  But back to the card...it kinda morphed from what I originally thought about doing.  But I LOVE pink, so of course it had to be all about the pink for me!  :-) 


Colors: Pool Party, Melon Mambo, Powder Pink, Basic Black
Cardstock/PapersPool Party, Watercolor Paper, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper
Stamps: Pop of Paradis
Tools: 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Big Shot, Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Fluttering Embossing Folder, Wink of Stella Glitter Brush
Accessories: Black Metallic Thread, Delicate White Doily, Rhinestones, Pick a Pattern Washi Tape, Basic Black Baker's Twine, Powder Pink Shimmer Ribbon

I don't really like how this card photographed.  But...suffice it to say that this card is glittery, pink-y, and a little delicate to boot.

I wanted a big blurt of glitter, so that's what I did--just blurted glitter out of my Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and swooshed it around.  That part is what I don't like with the photography of this card. But it's so sparkly in real life.   :-) 



I hope you enjoy this card!  And I REALLY hope you participate!!!  Check out the TGIF CHALLENGE BLOG and play along!!!! 

Thanks so much for visiting me!

Delightful Daisy Meets Bundle of Love ...

Have something really fun to share today!  It is the club project we made this month, and I'm in love!  "Bundle of Love"... that is.  :-)  (Check out the Designer Paper I used to see why that's funny.  Hee.) I shared the club card we made this month in THIS POST.  Now you get to see the project...a fun desktop Post-It holder! ...


Colors: Basic Black, Gold, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Soft Sky
Cardstock/PapersBasic Black, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Soft Sky, Bundle of Love Designer Series Paper
Stamps: Delightful Daisy, Blossom Builder Punch
Tools: Daisy Punch, Classic Label Punch, Simply Scored Board
Accessories: Gold Mini Sequin Trim, Gold Faceted Gems

How fun is this?!  :-)  Kinda great for this "Back to School" time of year.  And let me just get to my "Bundle of Love" comment above.  That's the name of the Designer Series Paper I used.  I have to admit...didn't even give this paper a second thought when I first saw it.  I'm not pregnant and just didn't feel like I "needed" baby paper.  Haha.  Well...I decided to order it because I saw gold on some papers, and OH! MY! WOW!!!  This paper is INSANE gorgeous!  EVERY paper has one side of a gold print pattern.  TOTAL *SWOON*!!!  Here's a picture of the paper...

And just know...one side is either pink or blue and the other FULL SIDE IS GOLD!  And metallic-y wonderfully beautiful gold.  It's amazing.  Just wanted to share because I was surprised when I got it.  :-)

I think this black/gold/pink color combo is quite beautiful...

And this daisy....well I just love.  It's made with the Delightful Daisy bundle.  I posted a beautiful floral arrangement made with this punch and stamp set in THIS POST.  And just wanted to share how fun these flowers are on other projects. 

(The middle of the flower is punched with one of the flowers from the Blossom Builder punch...FYI.  The Lemon Lime Twist leaves are from the daisy punch!  I just punched out a daisy, cut apart the petals, and glued them together how I wanted them. :-) )

***One of the perks of joining my club is each month I email instruction sheets for both the card and the project we make that month...so you can keep a file and always remember how we made the projects!  Would love to have you join my club!  Let me know if you have any questions!***

And just because I am in love...look at this Post-It Holder without the Post-It's so you can see that fabulous gold...


Thanks so much for visiting! Hope you enjoyed this project!

TGIF Challenge - 119: Curry Pool Party Twist ...

Have you been following me for awhile?!  If so...you probably know I love color.  Bright and fun, I just love it!  So it should be no surprise that a bright and fun color challenge is right up my alley!  Check out this fun color challenge this week...


Let's be real...anything with Lemon Lime Twist has my name on it. :-)  (Do you LOVE this color as much as me?!) I went with a somewhat subtle card with these colors.  It's quick and simple too.  Just some basic stamping and a few embellishments.  


ColorsCrushed Curry, Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist
Cardstock/PapersPool Party, Whisper White
Stamps: Daisy Delight
ToolsNONE!
Accessories: Linen Thread, Delicate White Doily, Rhinestones

What do you think?!  Can I just say...I love some "two-step" stamping. That is when you stamp your background image in the colors you want like this...


And then stamp a second time to add the detail...

For this card I used tone on tone for the subtle look...but you just as easily could do a fun black outline or another color to really make a bold statement.  

P.S...don't you just love the little touch a piece of doily can add to a project...


A package of these goes a long way because I rarely use a full one on a card.  Too much fun!


Hope you enjoy this project!  I would love to see you participate in this challenge yourself!  Can't wait to see what you make!!!  Head on over to the TGIF CHALLENGE BLOG and play along!!!  Let me know if you have any questions!  Thanks so much for visiting!!!
