Mar 21 March Paper Pumpkin: Pocketful of Cheer

March Paper Pumpkin: Pocketful of Cheer

PaperPumpkin_Birthday

It’s our third birthday this month and we wanted to send cake to everyone, but . . . as you can imagine, it was complicated. So, we sent adorable turquoise boxes instead! And did you notice that the box coordinates with the kit inside?

March_PP_Kit

It’s amazing, right? Here are some of our favorite things.
  • The vibrant color combination and cheery patterns
  • Two card and envelope sizes
  • The stamp set works for so many occasions—birthdays, new babies, graduations, and more.  
  • And, the pockets are sized for gift cards—making it a quick and easy gift that everyone will love.
It’s the perfect kit to celebrate our third birthday! And since it’s our third birthday, here are three more ideas for your kit.
First, we always love to share an idea using just the supplies in the kit. This card is a combination of the big and small card, and it makes us happy, happy, happy!

Next, here’s an idea that pulls in some other fun Stampin’ Up! products like Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and Gold Foil Sheets. Also, check out the embellished Note Card & Envelope using the patterned paper from the large envelope—so beautiful!

PP_March_alt_2-2

Finally, don’t underestimate the value of the stamp set you get in every kit. You can keep on creating projects just like this cute little card. To create a shortened label, punch the cardstock with your Washi Label Punch one time, then insert one end again to make it shorter.

CHECK THIS OUT FROM SU! - BIRTHDAY BLOOMS MEMORY BOOK

 This was on the SU! Blog and is an Artisan Design. This is such a cool book made with OCCASIONS Birthday suite dsp and stamps and embellishments.

Birthday Blooms Memory Book

I’m always looking for cute projects ideas—especially projects that hold memories or highlight fabulous things in our lives. So I was very happy to receive a wonderful bookbinding tool for Christmas. I’ve wanted to add one to my tool collection for quite some time because I’ve seen so many adorable projects made with them. And it helped me come up with a great memory book keepsake of my own!

I used our fabulous line of Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper (item 140557) for this memory book, along with Pool Party 3/8" Glitter Ribbon (item 140561) and Watermelon Wonder 1" Stitched Satin Ribbon (item 140580). I really enjoy the color concept for this project, and included some bright additions to the spring colors.
I used our Vanilla Coaster Board (item 129392) to create a hard cover; then, for texture, I adhered Designer Series Paper to both sides using Fast Fuse Adhesive (item 129026). To create my flower, I stamped the large flower image from the Birthday Blooms Stamp Set in VersaMark ink on Shimmery White 8–1/2" x 11" Cardstock (item 101910); then I heat embossed the image using White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (item 109132). Finally, I painted the flower using Aqua Painters (item 103954) to create a soft look.

On every other page, I included an envelope. (Tip: Cut off the envelope flap so you can slide in a card displaying a photo or special keepsake.)




I picked a cute saying from the This Is the Life Stamp Set (item 138736) and embossed some of the cards using our Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item 139672). I am such a huge fan of this embossing folder! It can be used on almost anything and is so versatile!

I hope you enjoyed my project today—and that I was able to inspire you to make a memorable project of your own to keep your special items or photos in!

HAPPY EASTER MONDAY SAMPLES - DECORATIVE CORNER BOX CARD

It rained last night and in fact, part of Easter Sunday was a little cloudy and cool.  But...Today! Today is Magnificent.  It's really sunny and gorgeous!  I hope you have a wonderful Easter Monday. 
This is a card I made for my parents for Easter.  It's a corner decorative box card.  It folds flat and then pops open when you take it out of the envelope.  I used all items from the SU! Occasions catalog and the stamp set Teeny Tiny Wishes for the Happy Easter.  I love that set as it has every sentiment I need. I taught this card at my SU! Fancy Folds Card class this past week and all of the ladies loved making.


We will be making a version of this card when we go on our OC retreat in a few weeks.  The flowers and leaves are thinlets from the Occasions catalog. The DSP is is from SU! SALEABRATION which ends Weds.

SU! SALABRATION ENDING IN A FEW DAYS - PEDAL PUSHERS

SU! saleabration ends in a few days - 3/31.  Have you earned all of the products that you would like to have?  I had to have this PEDAL PUSHER stamp and it came a couple of weeks ago. This was an add on set that you can earn for FREE with every $50 you spend during SALEABRATION.  I stamped the image and then watercolored it.  I embossed the base card stock with the SU! BRICK WALL EMBOSSING FOLDER and added embellishments.  I would say this stamp set is a must!

EASTER LAMB STAMPED CARD SU!

Easter is this weekend and so I have an adorable share.  This uses a cute stamp from the SU! OCCASIONS catalog called EASTER LAMB.  I stamped the image and gently watercolored it, punched it out and embellished it.  This stamp is only $10 US so it's very affordable. I can see using this little lamb on birthday cards, baby cards, Easter and Spring cards and even for 4H club projects.

SPECIAL BIRTHDAY CARD FOR MY FRIEND LISA

One of my bestest! friends is Lisa Chatterjee.  Her birthday was in January.  I made this special card for her and gave it to her with her gift not long ago. Her birthday was around the BIG SNOW STORM.  I love this card for all of the glitz.  I used the SU! DECORATIVE HEART THINLIT.  Here's a tip - die cut glimmer paper facing down and with the thinlit on top. It pops out much easier.
