Paper Pumpkin

Hello and thank you for stopping by.
The last 2 weeks have been hectic. Back to back weekend agility trials. It’s times like this I like Paper Pumpkin. I can make neat cards without needing  a lot of crafting materials. I take them with me to work on in the evenings in my trailer. I have a small hard side trailer that my dogs and I use on overnight trials. Will be leaving Friday for another trial.

Our home away from home

I’ll be taking the April Paper Pumpkin . Haven’t had a chance to play with it yet. The kit has everything I need except scissors.

I’ll take pictures and post here. If I get real brave I’ll try a video.

If you haven’t tried Paper Pumpkin give this months a try.

This is a sample of one of the 4 designs in the kit. 12 cards total. You can order by pressing the order here button on the right and click on paper Pumpkin.

If you don’t have a demonstrator can put my name down I would be happy to be your demonstrator. Thank you for reading my blog. Remember to get your order in by the May 10th to get this special kit.

Retired and Returning (R&R) Geared Up Garage

Hello and thank you for visiting my website.
There will be many changes with the new catalog in June. Some things returning and some retiring. Thought I would highlight some.

Returning is Geared Up Garage and dies.Retiring is the Classic Garage DSP.

You’re A Classic Materials and Directions:
1. Card base is Whisper White cardstock 51/2 x 81/2 scored at 41/4. To make the background on the front I used the stamp from Geared Up Garage inked with Grey Granite Stampin Pad.
2. I used a 2 x 51/2 inch piece of the Classic Garage DSP for a layering piece.
3. I stamped the car image on a scrap of Whisper White using Grey Granite ink. If you have the dies
you can cut it out with this or fuzzy cut. I used Dimensionals to adhere to the front.
4. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Happy Fathers Day Materials and Directions:
1. Card base is Whisper White cardstock 51/2 x 81/2 scored at 41/4.
2. I used a piece of Classic Garage DSP 51/4 x4 for the first red layer. (This is a backsides of one of  one of the DSP pieces). Glue to the front.
3. The second layer is a piece of Classic Garage DSP 5 x 3 3/4. Glue on top of first layer.
4. On a scrap piece of Whisper White I stamped the image using Grey Granite ink. Again if you have the die die cut out. If not fuzzy cut. I used dimensionals to adhere to the front.

Scrap card. This last card I made using scraps from the others. The card base is 51/2 x41/4. I cut the scraps  of DSP  2 x 4 1/4. I glued these to the front.  I still need to decide on a sentiment to use.

These cards can be made easily and you don’t have to be an expert card maker to make them. If your wanting to make masculine cards this is the set for you.

The stamps and dies will be available in the new catalog but they will not have the bundle price. You save 10% by getting them now. The Classic Garage DSP will not be available in the new catalog. If you want it get it now before it’s gone.
You can order these from my website ( order here on the right side).  Use the host code QFE2E9SJ
for orders less than150$.  For orders of  25$ or more I will send you the materials to make the first 2 cards plus a surprise.
Happy Stamping!

Farewell Tour Petal Palette

Petal Palette is a versatile stamp set . It can be used on its own or with the coordinating Petals & more thinlits dies.

This set will also be great to use with the new Bird DSP coming out in June in the new catalog.
This first card is a sample of simple stamping.

1. The card base is Mossy Meadow card stock. I cut the 81/2 x11 piece at 51/2 on the 11 inch side. This gives you 2 card bases. Fold them in 1/2.
2. I used a piece of Floral Romance DSP ( also retiring) cut 5/14 x 4. I glued a piece of ribbon to this then I glued this on the card front.
3. Rectangle scrap of Whisper White. I attached this to the front with dimensionals.
4. From a piece of Whisper White I die cut a rectangle using the Stitched rectangle Framelits. I stamped the image then colored using blender pens( you can use what you have). I then attached to the top of the other rectangle.
Inside you can put your sentiment. Birthday, wedding, congratulations thank you etc.
This next card I stepped up using some printed vellum.

1. The card base is Whisper White cardstock. I cut the card stock as I did in the first card.
2. I used a piece of Floral Romance DSP cut at 51/4 x4. This DSP also has printed vellum. I cut a piece 3 3/4 x 5. I glued this to the other DSP. I then cut a piece of ribbon and glued this around. Then I glued this to the front of the card.
3. From a scrap piece of Whisper White I die cut an oval. From another scrap I stamped the bird then die cut using the thinlits. I colored using blends. From scrap of green I die cut the branch. I glued the branch to the oval, then with dimensionals I put the bird on the branch. I then used dimensionals to attached the oval to the card front.
This last card I made incorporating the retiring Coffee Cafe stamp and thinlits. I used another piece of the Floral Romance printed vellum for the layering piece.

If you are interested in ordering go to my website. The button on the right that says order here.
Thanks for visiting and have a great week.
