A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Alternates for To You and Yours

November 29, 2018

What is Paper Pumpkin? Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription craft kit full of goodness from Stampin' Up! Every kit includes a stamp set, supplies, ink and projects instructions.

What is this hop all about? The designers participating in this hop take the monthly kit and put their own spin on the projects providing alternate ideas for you and various ways on how to use the kit supplies.

This kit has to be my most favorite in a long while. I love the look and the elements are super easy to use in a variety of ways. I was able to create a bunch of alternate cards and used tons of the little snippets to create coordinating treat boxes.

Ready to see a few more great alternatives for ‘To You and Yours’ Paper Pumpkin Kit? If you are traveling this hop in order you just arrived from Melissa. Next up is Ashley. I’m dying to see what she has in store. The full link up to this hop is below. Thanks so much for visiting.

Beauty Abounds - Global Design Project Sketch Challenge - GDP166

November 26, 2018

What a sweet little sketch we have for you this week. My card features some sneak peak products from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog. This card looks like a picnic on a summer afternoon. Super fun. #GDP166

2 new Product sneaks: Beauty Abound stamp set, Gingham 6x6 paper stack.

Couple of things you might miss on this card … 1. See the little chevron border? This was created using the Delicate Lace edgelits. 2. In the large square rectangle I’ve stamped a large swirl piece and heat set with white emboss powder. You can see this better in the image below.

Do you like this sketch? How might you interpret it? Check out the Global Design Project blog to see what the other designers have created for this challenge play along with us! Happy stamping.

Beauty Abounds - TGIF Challenges Technique - TGIFC187

November 23, 2018

Hello friends! Happy Thanksgiving.

Time for a TGIF technique challenge. This week we are playing around with sponging. There are many ways to sponge. I choose to create a gradient background on glossy white cardstock with sponge daubers and classic ink. Glossy cardstock is very forgiving and allows you to sponge and blend ink easily.

Do you spy some new products? This card features some sneaks of fun new products available in January from Stampin’ Up!

The stamp set is called Beauty Abounds.

Like this technique? Are you ready to see more sponging and play along with us? Visit here for more details. #tgifc187. THANKS for visiting.
