Freshly Brewed Projects – Love

Hello Stampers! I’m sorry I’ve been away for so long. We spent the last couple of months moving, and to be honest, I still have too many boxes to unpack. But, I’ve missed my crafty time so much, I had to take a break from unpacking and join my friends for this Blog Hop.

I didn’t even get to mail Christmas cards in 2020, so instead I thought I’d send Valentines to those who mailed me a Christmas card!

Because everything in my craft room is in disarray due to the move, I couldn’t find all my supplies, so I used some retired products on this card. The pink cardstock and DSP (Designer Series Paper) are retired product, and the gold ribbon is non-SU, but it’s what I could find to work with! I’ll post links to the products that are still available.

The Love topic of our Blog Hop is also perfect for the January Paper Pumpkin! Paper Pumpkin is a kit that is available in the USA (sorry, my Aussie friends). It comes directly to your door, on a monthly basis, and includes everything you need for the monthly project, including stamps and inks!

January’s kit was called Sending Hearts and it made four each of these cute Valentines!

Here’s a pic of the stamp set and ink spot that were included.

Now is a perfect time to order a pre-paid Paper Pumpkin subscription! If you order a 3-month pre-paid subscription, you’ll get to choose a Level 1 item from the Sale-a-bration brochure FREE! With a 6-month pre-paid subscription, you can get two Level 1 items or one Level 2 item, and with a 12-month pre-paid subscription, you can get four Level 1 items, or two Level 1 and one Level 2 items, or two Level 2 items! Whew! That boggles the brain, doesn’t it?

If any of my US friends are interested in joining Paper Pumpkin, you can order below.

Now, be sure to hop to these sites, to see more “LOVE”ly projects!

Card for Kentucky’s Governor

Our Governor, Andy Beshear, has been a calming voice during this pandemic. He’s urged us to stay calm and his mantra is “We will get through this; we will get through this together.” He even asked his ASL translator, Virginia, to teach us these phrases in sign language. I believe he has done his best to keep Kentucky residents safe, and limit the number of deaths in our state.

I had to send him a card of encouragement, so here’s what I came up with. The COVID-19 raindrops are made using the Poppy Moments Dies. The greeting and clouds are from a past Paper Pumpkin kit, and the Blueberry Bushel ink and cardstock are now retired.

I received a letter from Governor Andy Beshear in response. In it, he says “I have displayed your homemade card in my office for all to see.” Thank you, sir!

Paper Pumpkin Halloween!

If you’ve never had a Paper Pumpkin subscription, you might want to think about trying one.

Paper Pumpkin is a red box that comes directly to your mailbox and contains everything you need to make the project of the month!

The September Paper Pumpkin kit made 20 of these cute little treat boxes….. ten each of two designs. Just big enough for two or three of the chocolate minis, it would make a great treat for a classroom of children or a group of co-workers.

Click on the Paper Pumpkin link to sign up! Be sure to sign up before the 10th of the month, to get that month’s kit.

Shelli’s Paper Pumpkin Kit

This May, you’re in for a treat. Paper Pumpkin has teamed up with Shelli Gardner, Stampin’ Up!’s board chair and cofounder, to deliver a very special Paper Pumpkin kit. It’s exclusive, collectible, and one of a kind. Die-hard Paper Pumpkin and Stampin’ Up! fans won’t want to miss this special edition. It’s also perfect for brand new subscribers!

The look and feel of this kit is all Shelli. It’s elegant, feminine, and so full of springtime details that you’ll probably just want to take a walk, breathe in the fresh air, and then go home and stamp every card in the kit. And the box it comes in? We predict that you’ll be keeping it . . . like . . . forever. Wait and see.

About the “Shelli” Kit

Shelli Gardner worked closely with designers and concept artists to create a Paper Pumpkin kit that is uniquely hers. It includes an exclusive photopolymer stamp set, paper and crafting materials to create 12 cards (3 cards of 4 unique designs), 12 exclusive, coordinating envelopes, and a Classic Stampin’ Spot.

Coordinating colors: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla

We got to make a card from this kit at OnStage! You can see mine below with its beautiful matching envelope.

Be sure to sign up as soon as possible. If this kit sells out before May 10th, they will close subscriptions! If you’re already signed up, you have nothing to worry about.

December 2018 Paper Pumpkin Alternate Idea

If you aren’t subscribed to Paper Pumpkin, you’re missing out on a monthly box of fun!

Each month, I get a red box delivered directly to my mailbox. It includes a stamp set, ink, and all the materials needed to make the monthly project. The project is a surprise, and all the materials are cut and ready to go.

The December 2018 kit contained an 18 month calendar. I didn’t really need a calendar, so I decided to use the supplies for an alternate project.

I recently asked for my customers’ birthdates, so I could send them cards. Needless to say, I now need a LOT of cards, so I used the calendar pages to make these cute birthday cards. What do you think?

If you’d like a monthly subscription to Paper Pumpkin, you can click on the link in the right margin.

Thanks for stopping by!

Let’s Get Spooky!

We don’t often get clues to what is going to be in a Paper Pumpkin kit, so I’m excited to know that next month’s will be a Halloween kit!

Now, the contents are still a surprise, but for those of you who LOVE Halloween (and I know that’s a LOT of you), be sure to sign up for Paper Pumpkin by September 10th to get this kit. I wouldn’t wait until the last minute, because there are a limited number available!

If you aren’t yet familiar with Paper Pumpkin, it’s a monthly kit that includes everything you need (except scissors) to complete the project, and is delivered directly to your door! It even includes ink and an exclusive stamp set for only $19 a month.

You can order Paper Pumpkin in two ways. You can do a monthly subscription, where your credit card is billed once a month, or you can order a pre-paid subscription of one month, three months, six months, or even twelve months (you’ll save money with some of these).

If you’d like to sign up for the monthly subscription, visit www.paperpumpkin.com and be sure to list me as your demonstrator. If you’d like to order a pre-paid subscription, contact me for details!
