RainyDay Stamper

Third week of January!

January has always been a long month for me, but for some reason this year it is flying by, not because I am busy, because truthfully when we moved here we slowed down, really slow.  We used to work a sixty five hour week at a minimum and now a 20-30 hour week so it is so much better.  Maybe it is because there isn't as much grey, dreary, rainy sky as there is on the coast your mind naturally is happier.  I told you that I got my Paper Pumpkin on Friday and did get a chance to play with it.  This set coordinates with Animal Outing, one of my favourite sets and first up was to make the kit just as it was intended to be made.  The kit has enough supplies to make 24 pillow boxes with goodies remaining.

Just like our DSP, these pillowboxes are reversible  so they can be made either Melon Mambo or Pool Party.  The kangaroo and chameleons are already to punch out along with the hearts and scalloped circles.The pretty little epoxy hearts are included.  How sweet are these, They are a good size, 2x 4 so they will hold a bit of candy but not enough to break the bank.  Not a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber?  You  really should give it a try, a box of fun delivered to your door every month containing everything you need for 30 minutes of fun.   The kits include glue dots, ink, dimensionals and your first kit includes a clear stamping block to put the stamps on.  Portable, everything included.  And they always have more stuff than you need for the projects so you can save them or use them on other projects.  And Sale-a-bration is the best time to get Paper Pumpkin.  Buy a subscription code  for 3 months and get a FREE Sale-a-bration item.  Buy six months and get 2 FREE Sale-bration or best deal buy a years subscription code and get one month of Paper Pumpkin FREE and 4 FREE Sale-a-bration items.  *NOTE:  You need to buy the subscription codes and then use the code that you receive to sign up on Paperpumpkin.com in order to get the Sale-a-bration items.  Clear as mud?  Just email or give me a call.

 

Happy Stamping,

Wahoo!

September's Paper Pumpkin kit was Wahoo and that big Wahoo stamp was just perfect for this card.

My dear friend just became a Gramma for the first time, so exciting.  So  I needed a special card and this stamp was just the ticket.  I stamped it using Baked Brown Sugar and then cut a little scallop of Baked Brown Sugar with the tiny scallop from the Finishing Touches Edgelit.  The magnetic platform is the perfect for holding the edgelit straight so much better than post it notes.  The Crisp Cantaloupe background has also been ran through the Big Shot with the Fancy Fan folder and then check out the gorgeous flowers.  Stippled Blossoms is the set, a two step set, where you first stamp the solid image using your lighter colour and then line up the stippled stamp with your Stamp a ma Jig and stamp in your darker shade.   Using my Paper Snips, these images are super easy to cut out.  Inside, well, we didn't have the perfect sentiment, but, with My Digital Studio, you can make the perfect sentiment and match the colours to your cardstock.  And what else could you say but.....

Happy Stamping,
