Paper Pumpkin - Paper Crafting Kits in the Mail

This month's Haunts & Harvest Paper Pumpkin Kit is ideal for sharing the bounty of the autumn harvest and sweet fall treats. The kit includes enough supplies to create 12 treat boxes—4 each of 3 designs. That means you can take your pick of apple, pumpkins, or jack-o-lantern treat boxes!

Plus, this unique Paper Pumpkin box is designed to easily transform into a vintage wheelbarrow for you to display your harvest!

And wait for the fun alternates to the treat boxes that the Paper Pumpkin Design Team will share once your box ships- you'll always have lots of options for using your kits!

Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop - It's Sale-a-bration Time!!

It's so much fun to join my Canada Inks Up! teammates in today's Blog Hop. I can't wait to see what they are sharing as I always get some great ideas on how to use the latest products. The new Holiday Mini Catalogue is extra special this year because we have a fall Sale-a-bration flyer too for the first time ever! 

I'm featuring the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Papers from the Sale-a-bration flyer today, along with the Cloche Shaker Domes and Subtle Shimmer Sequins from the Holiday Mini so you can see how much fun it is to pair up different bundles to come up with a very cool shaker card!

My card base is Just Jade cardstock, with the dotted side of the Penguin Playmates DSP front and centre. I fussy cut the little animals for inside my Cloche Shaker Dome and added some die cut trees and the base to ground the dome from the Cloche Dies. The greeting is from the Penguin Place stamps. I added a strip of the paper to the flap on my envelope, and to the inside of my card. I also cut out one of the little foxes and added him inside for some fun!

Here's another card I made using the FREE Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper for the background. I was showing my club class last night how to do some watercolour backgrounds using the FREE Sala-a-bration Textures & Frames Stamps and stamped the image from the Snowman Season over the top when it dried - this set is a carryover in the Annual Catalogue that's been a favourite. I added some of the new White Glitter Organdy Ribbon to the watercoloured piece for some sparkle! Inside I stamped a greeting from the stamp set, and the little snowman that looks like he's made from mini marshmallows!

If you need any of the products I've shared today, you can shop my online store any time by clicking this link or message me to add you to my next orders going in. Please use my current Host Code listed so I can track your order, and send my thank you!

I wanted to showcase the fabulous Be Dazzling Designer Series Paper you can get for FREE with a qualifying order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion and you do want to get it as it's so sparkly!! I teamed it with my favourite Tidings & Trimmings Bundle from the Annual Catalogue which includes some great stamps with greetings, dies and Designer Series Papers too!

Here's my first card using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch for backgrounds and the largest star die for the main embellishment. The greeting is stamped in Evening Evergreen and the envelope is trimmed with some of the leftover strips.

Here's another card using the same sketch and papers but a completely different look  when the main colour is Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and some of the die cuts. Take a peek at the stocking cut from the Snowy White Velvet Sheets in the Holiday Mini - so soft!! I added a few more of the die cuts from the bundle so you can see how many different ones are in the set.

Sunday Share - Simply Elegant Suite

 

For a change of pace from sharing the newest Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-Bration flyer, today I'm going back to the Annual Catalogue for inspiration! The Simply Elegant Suite is rich in luxurious details and textures that you just have to see in person to really appreciate. The Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper combines the elegance of Basic Black, Basic Gray, and Very Vanilla with the shimmery luster of Gold, Copper, and Silver - it's simply gorgeous!

Often, stamp and punch combinations are designed to punch out a specific image, but in this case the Elegant Tag Punch works with several images and greetings in the Elegantly Said stamp set. The bonus of this design is that the punch works with lots of other images and greetings from other sets, too! 

You know I love my punches and this one is a beauty! Look how elegant the punched tag looks on the design below with the gold cord wrapped around the top! And it's back in stock so you can order it now! 

Use my current Host Code 4S7Z42DW to order online - qualifying orders over $25 get in the draw for sharing monthly Host Rewards and you will also get my thank you for ordering with me 😊

It's a SALE-a-bration Blog Hop - Inspiration For You!

How exciting is it to have a second Sale-a-bration event this year - and one that includes our hot-of-the-press July-December 2021 Mini Catalogue??  I know I can't wait to share some of the fun products with you and my blog hop friends are just as happy to showcase their favourite picks too!!

I chose to share a couple of cards made with the Feels Like Home stamp set which is FREE with a $60 purchase from my store. It pairs so well with some basic Designer Series Papers you may already have and can be a #simplestamping card or jazzed up to take it to the next level. 

My first card could be #simplestamping if I wanted to - the image was stamped on Shimmery White cardstock in Sahara Sand and looked pretty good on its own. But then I decided to CASE the card in the SAB Flyer so I used the Meadow Moments Embossing folder on the stamped piece then cut it into strips and glued it to a piece of Neutrals Collection DSP. My colour palette is a Sahara Sand regular card base with a bit of Pale Papaya cardstock for the greeting label (Tasteful Labels Dies) and stamped in Calypso Coral. The ribbon is Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon and I added some Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (from the new Mini!) to the card.

For my next card I decided to try a soft watercolour wash on the Shimmery White cardstock. I used my clear block as a palette inked in Soft Succulent (just press the block to your ink pad) and then gradually added colour to the wet cardstock with my Water Painters until I had the light wash I was going for.  I dried it with my Heat Tool and let it sit for a bit before stamping my image right over the top of the now dry wash. I then distressed the edges of the cardstock and glued it to a piece of Soft Seafoam DSP from the Subtles Collection. That section was popped with Dimensionals onto the Sahara Sand card base. I added a few Metallic pearls and some Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon. The greeting was stamped in Soft Succulent on a Soft Seafoam cardstock strip.

The greetings in this stamp set are perfect for many different cards and the line drawings on the images can be coloured or left as I have done . . .  I hope you pick this set as one of your free items during Sale-a-bration this fall - please share what you make with me!! 

The new Holiday Mini is live and ready for you to shop - click here to go to my website with your wish list ready (or make one up on line!) or message me to help you with your orders!
