Paper Pumpkin

Did you get the March Paper Pumpkin Kit??  I did and I LOVE all of the patterned paper that comes with it!

Today over at SSINKspiration we are showing you a few cards that were made using Paper Pumpkin Kits.  You won't want to miss them!

In a few weeks we will be adding our 3rd baby to our family.  SO...I need to prepare a lot of thank you cards!  I have a feeling that we will be loved on by quite a few people and I want to be ready to write these and send them!

I combined a few pieces from the February and March 2016 Kits to create this card.  And of course I had to add my little baby boy footprint...it comes from a retired stamp set that I just can't let go!

Chase the Blues Away...

It's the middle of winter and it's finally snowing where I live!  The kids are loving it!  But winter does mean a lot of hours inside and sometimes you need to chase the winter blues away.  

One of the things that helps to chase my winter blues away is...STAMPING!  And one of the best items that Stampin' Up! sells is the Paper Pumpkin kits!  I just got my February 2015 kit yesterday and I had to open it and get to creating right away!

Here is the card that the kit creates...

It's an accordion fold Thank You card that fits in this really cute box...

See...

The "THANKS" letters are felt stickers and the stamp set that comes with this kit is SO AWESOME!

Red, White and Blue

Happy 4th of July!  I hope you all have a fun day with family and friends celebrating America!

Over at SSINKspiration, we have a few patriotic cards for you today!

Here is mine...

I used one of the pinwheels from the June My Paper Pumpkin Kit.  You might we thinking, "But those are HUGE!  How do they fit on a card?"

Well before I put the pinwheel together, I cut 1/2" off of each side.  It worked perfectly!  

I just LOVE the DSP that these Pinwheels are made of!  I wish I could purchase it in full sheets of 12x12!
