July Paper Pumpkin

Providing an easy path to creativity is what Paper Pumpkin does best. And we’re always thinking about ways to improve.

Sometimes we kick things up a notch to maximize a kit’s potential. After all, everyone wants to make as many cute things as possible with their super-fun Paper Pumpkin kit. Right? That goes without saying!

This month, Paper Pumpkin is providing unprecedented catalog coordination, giving you THREE new suites that you can mix and match with July’s kit.

With THREE suites to seamlessly combine with the July kit, your vision of what you can do expands from crafting with a single kit to creating with a full range of brand new Stampin’ Up! products. We think of product coordination as a bridge to “more.”

July Kit + 3 Coordinating Suites (below) = SO many fun projects

Coffee Cafe Gift Card Holder

Hey there Stampers! Thanks for stopping by!

Although the Coffee Cafe stamp set and dies are now retired, this was a fabulous set to use for those gift card holders. Today's card is another one from our Stampers Club last month and features a cute little pocket to hold your gift card.

For the front of this card I embossed the background using white embossing powder on Crumb Cake Cardstock. Then I sponged over top using Early Espresso ink. I added Burlap Ribbon and Pool Party Baker's Twine, and die cut coffee cup.

On this inside, we stamped the coffee beans and sentiment in Early Espresso ink. The pocket was made with Pool Party cardstock and the 1" circle punch. Make sure to only adhere the sides and bottom of the cardstock so that your gift card will slide in and out.

Thursday Tip

When combining the Heirloom Frames embossing folders and dies, CUT THE DIE FIRST .. it makes it much easier to line up when you emboss it ..

Coffee Cafe

Hey there Stampers! Thanks for stopping by today!

I've had a crazy few weeks in my personal life unfortunately, and I'm looking forward to hopefully getting back to some stability and the chance to get some crafting done with the new catalogue products.

Today's card features a retired stamp set - Coffee Cafe. This is one of the cards that my Stamper's Club made last month.

For the background on this card, we took the Early Espresso and Pear Pizzaz ink pads and used the upper edge to swipe across the cardstock. The corners were rounded using the Detailed Trio Punch. The Happy Birthday sentiment and outline were embossed onto the cup wrap using Copper Embossing Powder and the cup was die cut with Early Espresso cardstock. The top of the cup was die cut from Vellum and the card was accented with Copper Metallic Sequins and Copper Trim.

ATC Swap Part 2 - Favourite Retiring Product

Hey there Stampers!

Yesterday I posted the first set of ATC's from the "Say goodbye to your favourite retiring product" swap that I participated in. Today is more ATC's that I received. Enjoy!

An ATC is an Artist Trading Card that are 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 cards made for the purpose of experimentation, fun and trading! Using Stamping' Up!® supplies to create little works of art is so much fun. And if you want, these can be used to make a full size card.

ATC swap - Favourite Retiring Product

Hey there Stampers! Happy Monday! Thanks for stopping by!

I was lucky enough to be involved in an ATC (Artist Trading Card) swap in May with some other Stamping' Up! Demonstrators. The theme of this swap was "Say goodbye to your favourite retiring product". These are just some of the swaps that I received.
