Unbox Your Craft-ivity

If you think you are not creative…THINK AGAIN!

Anyone can be crafty with a KIT, and I’m here to help you unbox some ways to be creative even when…

You think you don’t have time
You think you can’t afford it
You think you don’t have the space for crafting

Paper Pumpkin is the BEST craft kit subscription in the world, and each monthly box you’ll receive:

In this video, I show the Sweet Springtime Kit (February 2024), how to complete the projects as they are sent in the kit -OR- unleash your own ideas using the supplies from the kit or around your craft room:

While the full kits are sold out, there are refills for the Sweet Springtime kit (while supplies last) that you could easily add your own sentiment stamps to complete. They are available for subscribers only, so hurry and subscribe in the next step!

Prepaid Subscription

Here are the alternative projects I created with the Sweet Springtime Kit:

Now a look at what’s coming in the March “Memorable Meadows” Paper Pumpkin kit (SUBSCRIBE BY MARCH 10th to get this kit in your mailbox!!):

Share nature’s beauty with lovely all-occasion cards! Includes a free BONUS stamp set!

Makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs with 9 coordinating envelopes
Precut vellum pieces & wood embellishments
Coordinating colors: Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia

Perhaps you aren’t ready to make the commitment to a monthly subscription, but want a one-time curated crafting experience. I’ve got just the thing(s) with the Kit Collection in my Stampin’ Store which you can choose a la carte:

TWO NEW KITS are added to the collection every month, and while I indicated March 2024 kits would be added on Tuesday 3/5, I’ve learned that they are actually dropping into the store on THURSDAY, March 7th! I did get a peek at them today and I can tell you I’ll be grabbing BOTH kits…you’ll want to check them out in just a few days.

After the camera turned off, I did make a few more different cards with the leftover pieces from my kit (coudn’t let those gingham envelopes or adorable animals go to waste!). One of them I’ll share in my VIP Facebook Group and here’s the other:

And ONE (of four) #simplestamping cards I shared in my exclusive Paper Pumpkin email for my subscribers~ after the kit is complete and you have just the stamp set and ink spot remaining:

Hydrangeas Abound

March 29, 2021March 29, 2021Leave a comment

Hydrangeas represent gratitude, grace, abundance, and beauty. The Hydrangea Hill Suite offers you abundant beauty & grace with for your Spring creative projects with a two-step stamping set, coordinating dies and Designer Series Paper and accessories.

Warm up your creativity with this bundle or suite from my Stampin’ Store in March 2021 and you’ll also receive supplies for 3 exclusive projects from me! UPDATE: We are getting low on inventory for some of the products in the suite, so this is your best opportunity to order!

Sharing a few “bonus” project photos with you as well; The first shows how lovely the hydrangea blossom is when embossed in white and watercolored.

WATERCOLORING TIP: Squeeze your ink pads when they are closed, then pick up the ink from THE LID when opened (never put your water pens onto your ink pads to pick up ink!)

This is one of our acetate card boxes that you could decorate and fill with a small gift like tea towels, napkins, cash or thank you cards for a newlywed couple. While the mercury glass acetate sheets in this suite are colored Rococo Rose or Highland Heather on one side, they are silver on the back side, as used on this sample.

A Sample(r) of Spring

March 27, 2014April 26, 2017Leave a comment

I put out the Spring Decor last week and though the Utah weather is fickle, I’m feeling cheerful! This is the lastest sampler I’ve created using squares from a swap my stampin’ family held:

And this is one from one of my stamp clubs. I’m always so proud of them when they get crafty!

Finally (though I know it’s past St. Patrick’s Day) I had to share this one by my friend Sue Stratton because it’s so adorable:

If you need a little spring-in-your-step (or in your home) and you don’t want to make your own, I have an extra one from last year that I have for sale for $15 plus shipping! E-mail me if you want it!

Easter Comes Early

February 23, 2013April 26, 20173 Comments

As Easter is on March 31st this year (and it’s just around the corner), I thought it would be fun to teach a Craft Camp to help prepare for Spring and the celebration of Easter! Here is one of the projects you’ll be creating at the camp; A Spring Sampler!

Yes, it includes the frame! There are other projects we’ll be making that day, and I’ll try to share them over the next few weeks. As always, this will be at my home in Spanish Fork and space is limited, so register early (Paypal link below)!

Easter Craft Camp

Saturday, March 16

1 p.m.

$25

**Bring scissors and SNAIL adhesive** (need a refill? Let me know!)

Creative credit: I pulled ideas from many different places as I created this sampler (and even came up with a few of my own!), but would be remiss if I didn’t give credit for the ribbon/doily to fellow demonstrator Kirsteen Gill’s sampler here as it really makes this home decor project so beautiful!

What is cuter than a baby bunny?

FOUR BABY BUNNIES!!!!

And watching my kids with the baby bunnies was even more precious…there is just something about a baby of any sort that reminds you of the great love of God and a deep gratitude for all of his breath-taking creations!

Enjoy a few more samples using the Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper and Four Frames stamp set (part of the Spring is Blossoming April Promotion!) Did I mention that the Four Frames stamp set co-ordinates with the new XL Decorative Label punch? It makes creating these beautiful cards that much easier!

Spring Stamp Camp

My apologies for being gone so long: I finally rebuilt my computer and I am back in business! I promise to post more often to keep your creative juices flowing 🙂

Where is Spring?? It’s snowing as I post this! I think we’ll call this Sprinter for the mix of seasons. Let’s try the mantra, “Stamp it and they will come”: Join me at my Spring Stamp Camp on Wednesday, April 8 from 7-10 p.m. at my home in Spanish Fork. You’ll create this darling Spring Banner (left) with the Big Shot as well as cards and scrapbook pages celebrating Moms, Easter and that elusive season, Spring!

The cost is only $20 for 6 projects and all you need to bring is scissors, adhesive-I recommend SNAIL or double stick tape-and a paper trimmer (if you have one). Please register by Monday, April 6 by calling 801-376-8685. Make it more fun by registering with a friend!
