Paper Pumpkin Goes Wild January Kit


Today is the LAST day to update your account for more kits, or start your new subscription.  

I love the Animal Expedition suite and I'm excited that it will be featured in our January kit!  We already had a hint that the kit is treat holders, so that gets my mind turning for what to put into the treat holders.  My next question is: who will I gift them to?


I love to share Valentines and have lots of ideas for this year.  My Valentines will have packaged candy which will be happily accepted by anyone.  Here are ideas of who to share our Valentine treats to show appreciation, (beyond the typical teacher and classroom exchange):
fire station
police station
paramedics station
library staff
school office staff/librarians/cafeteria staff
bus drivers
health and welfare office
elderly neighbors
clergy

Random acts of kindness:
gas station attendant
service workers on Valentines Day
carpool driver
mail carrier
UPS driver
everyone, everywhere appreciates a gift of kindness!

Color Combo Blog Hop - Humming Along


Welcome to the January Color Combo Blog Hop.  This month we have been challenged to design with Gorgeous Grape, Cajun Craze, and Coastal Cabana.  Demonstrators from all around the globe are participating to share their projects featuring these three color.  We hope to inspire you to join our challenge and use these colors in your projects at home.

This was my first time to ink up my new Humming Along stamp set.  I was really happy with my choice as I played with the colors.

My first draft was all ink and I wasn't so happy with it.  Then I remembered to use clear Embossing Powder with the Cajun Craze to get a glossy definition on my flower image. This approach made me delighted with my Color Combo design! 


 I used sponge daubers and Stampin' Write Markers to color in the floral image.  Here you can see how glossy the embossing is with the shading on the flower petals.


One of my favorite tricks with the Everyday Label punch is to create a simple frame with a contrasting or complementing card stock layer.  For this card I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze on Very Vanilla card stock.  Then I punched it with the Everyday Label punch. Next I punched out a blank Cajun Craze card stock label. I snipped it vertically down the center and adhered it on the backside so that it overhangs and peeks out of each end of the Very Vanilla label.  Have you ever used this layering trick?

I hope you will try this Color Combo on your own project!

BFBH - Hey Love


Hello friends!  Today is the Blogging Friends Blog Hop, we share with you on the first Friday of each month.  Our theme this month is LOVE: wedding, anniversary, Valentines, etc.  I chose to design a Valentine's card.

One of my recent, favorite stamp sets is the whimsical "Hey, Love" in our 2019 Occasions catalog.  There are so many fun animals in this stamp collection.  My design features Petal Pink and Call Me Clover inks and card stock. Of course, there is also Whisper White card stock and I used Shimmery White card stock to stamp and color my crocodile friend with our Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.


Our Handwritten background stamp was a perfect choice for a love-them, since it includes the words "love" and "amour."  I discovered that the small sentiment fits perfectly in the Classic Label punch.  I tried both ink colors and then decided to make a fun "waterfall" effect to stagger them on the card front.

I also love this new variegated ribbon and that it makes such a stunning bow.  First I layered the ribbon over the front 2 layers and adhered it behind the Call Me Clover layer.  Then I attached the card front onto the card base.


I wanted my bow to lay sideways so then I tied my loose ribbon onto the attached ribbon.  Then the bow is tied and it lays sideways on the card, which will frame the stamped images as the focal points.


The other nice aspect is that you can slide this bow along the attached ribbon to just where you like.  I then used Dimensionals to adhere my punched sentiments and crocodile onto the card front.  I hope you like my bow tip and trick and would love to know if you use this on your cards?  All of my supplies are detailed at the end of my post.   

Please follow along to each of the blog participants.  I hope you discover all sorts of inspiring ideas for your love - theme projects!
