Make it Monday June 29th - Last one before summer break!!

My "Make it Monday" drop in events are perfect for new stampers, or those who want to add to their card box. I show you how to create quick and easy cards, using basic designs so you can create more at home with your own products. I also try to find ways to help you use up that stash of paper so you can feel good when you want to buy new!

Join me Monday, June 29th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm and make some cards to go into your "I need a card NOW" box!

Here's the quick card we did last month with one stamp set (Kinda Eclectic) - Soft Sky, Pool Party and Island Indigo Inks, a couple of mini pearls and a cut out silver flower that was sitting on my desk for some sparkle!

 
 
And here's the second project we did - mini thank you cards (Lovely Amazing You Stamp Set) in a cute bag to take as a hostess gift - great to have on hand when visiting family and friends this summer - or make some (using some of that paper you have!) so you are ready anytime with a "Thank You" that is sure to make your hosts smile and know you care about them!
 

My last picture is to show you recent cards I made for a swap I am in - each month we exchange cards based on a theme and it is awesome what a variety of cards and stamp sets are used! Such a creative group - love my Stampin' Up! friends :-) The card on the left uses "Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set" - the Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp for 2015-2016 - $3.00 of every set sold goes to our local RMHC on your behalf. The stamp set coordinates with the new Tree Builder Punch making it super easy to get your card done!  The card on the right was stamped with Sweetbriar Rose and coloured with blender pens - a perfect way to "watercolour" without the mess!

 
Check out Pinterest for so many ideas - search under your stamp set name, plus Stampin Up and you will be amazed at how many ideas are being shared!

Paper Pumpkin kits are better than ever and SO reasonable - take a kit to the cottage, in your trailer when you head out camping or save it as a rainy day project with the kids this summer (if we get some rain!) Here's the latest kit when it arrived - I'm waiting to make it with a friend!  Click on this link to get started yourself!
 

 
Until next time - have fun stampin' and happy summer!

June Paper Pumpkin kit is the BEST ever!!

My Paper Pumpkin box arrived yesterday at my door - thank you Mr. FedEx!!! I opened it up, and Oh! WOW!!! I am sure it is the BEST one ever!  I know I am taking it on our next camping trip to make up - so easy to bring as everything you need is inside the box . . . . and when you are done, back in the box to bring safely home - love it!!

Here's my box opening . . . . .  . . . . .


Then a quick peak inside . . . .  . . .  . wow looks like lots of card making stuff (yay!) . . . . .
 
 
And finally  . . . .  .  . the BIG Reveal!!! All the ingredients to whip up 8 cards and envelopes with liners ready to go! Thanks Paper Pumpkin (big HAPPY face!)!!!
 
 
And remember check out Pinterest each month for alternate ideas if you aren't crazy about the project as offered any month - there are always lots of creative options to choose from. Here's the Paper Pumpkin link to get you started (click here) - have fun!!
