August Paper Pumkin Ideas

August Paper Pumpkin: Chalk It Up to Love

Hello, fellow stampers. I’m going to start by sharing with you that I love Paper Pumpkin. It’s such an amazing program. For just $19.95 USD/$24.95 CAD per month, you’re guaranteed a fun, creative stamping experience.
I was paired up with one of our talented designers, Kelsey W. to create this kit. I’m excited to share these beautiful cards and boxes with all of you—I think they are just stunning. I know others will enjoy receiving these gorgeous cards and gift boxes too.
Below are a few additional ideas to spark your creativity with this kit.

I added a couple of different elements to dress up one of the boxes. First off, I used one of the gold foil cards to create a striped bellyband. Then, I added an additional layer of pink flower petals to beef up the flower a little more. I love bringing in a little more color, so I added leaves to the flower using Old Olive Cardstock  and the Bouquet Bigz L Die.

The stamp set that comes with this kit is lovely and elegant. I used the stamps to create this fun notecard. The element pieces create pretty accents and borders. I love it paired with some Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper and 2014–2016  In Color Designer Washi Tape too.

I also played around with this kit and created a more stepped up card. I used a piece of one of the card bases as a layer. I added some other gold accents with  Sequin Trim, Metallic Thread, and Fancy Foil Designer Vellum. These are all great add-on items to go with this kit.
Finally, I wanted to leave everyone with a tip about stamping with Whisper White Craft ink. I like to ink up my stamps using a light tapping motion. If you have too much ink on the surface of the stamp, your image won’t stamp as crisp. Less ink will yield a better result.

I was looking at some of the photos from convention and laughed when I saw this one-

 

Blueberry Lemonade with vodka! It was delicious!!!

Our Hotel had the best restaurant inside it. They had these gigantic chocolate chip cookies at lunch time.....

 

We took a bus ride down to Riverton to the Stampin Up Corporate offices. This is from the bus about to turn into the drive.

 

There was a storm blowing in and the sky was so dark, It made the building look so serene.

 

Up at the entrance, they have these big stones on each side and all the Demonstrators go and have their photos done-

 

 

 After the photo, we went to the building and when we entered, they hung banners and all welcomed us to walk around and see where the work. (YKES!!!Whats up with my shirt???)

 

You look down from the front entrance and you see a fabulous waterfall and garden area.

 

This is their break room! Can you believe it? I would kill to have this atmosphere in my break room at work...

 They have a Creativity room- piano, bean bag chairs a very relaxing environment. You can go there and collect your thoughts, play some music or sit and relax.  WOWSZA!!!!!!

(OOPS don't like that shirt- Look how horrible it looks!!! LOL)

 

Here are a couple samples they had in the Product Center-

 

 

these are the Fry Box Die

 

This is the Hamburger box

 

These are made from INTO THE WOODS DSP with the new thinlit BAKERS BOX

 

I know it is very warm outside again....I have a hard time thinking or making Fall projects and Christmas cards in 100 degree weather-

But, I adore the HOLIDAYS.

My first work shop last weekend really got me started so I will be sharing some more photos and samples with you.

The Holiday catalogs have mailed out now and you can start purchasing as of Sept 1st.

If you did not get a copy, contact me so I can mail one to you right away. Wait till you see what I made with one of the new kits!!!!!

 

Get your mojo working and Happy Stampin!
