Milestone Birthdays

Today is a dear friend’s 70th birthday and you would never know it! I randomly stamped 70 using the Make a Difference #146676 Stampin Up stamp set. I used the Bone Appetite My Paper Pumpkin kit to stamp a rainbow of skeletons onto a whisper white panel.  I added a frame cut from the Ornate Frames Dies #150664 to add the sentiment from the Well Said # 148796 stamp set.  The black and white skeleton was an embellishment left over from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

Seasons Greetings

 Today is the 25th of the month so that means a Christmas card post!  Today’s is simply a card made using the Winter Woods October My Paper Pumpkin kit.  I am behind on Christmas cards this year so this came in time for me to whip the cards up as designed to add to my finished cards.

Special Thanksgiving birthday

 For today’s post its an alternative to the October Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin kit.  I used some of the elements from the kit and paired it with the Come to Gather DSP #150454 from Stampin Up.  I added some punched leaves from the Leaf punch #144667 and from the Rose Garden (retired) die.  The sentiment was from the retired Happiest Birthday stamp set onto a label cut from the Stitched Nested Labels Die #144667. I love how this turned out for a gal that has a Thanksgiving birthday!

Polka Dot Fun

 One of my Paper Pumpkin customers, Mindi, had some leftover card bases and elements from her paper pumpkin kits and made a simple Thank You card to have on hand.  Mindi loves all the kits available from Stampin Up and looks forward to her Pamper Pumpkin deliveries each month.

Succulent Framed Piece

 I created this shadowbox for myself using the leftovers from the Grown with Kindness February 2019 My Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin Up.  It was super quick and easy and looks great on my mantle.

One in A Chameleon

I made these 2 cards using the leftover chameleons from the Be Mine Valentine My Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin Up  I randomly stamped the chameleon in black ink and then popped the colored one to create a fun and quick card.  This card is perfect for masculine birthdays or thank yous and looks great in either orientation.

Be Mine Valentine

 Happy Valentines Day! I am so proud that I am all caught up on my Paper Pumpkin kits including the one that came in January… just in time for Valentine’s Day.  I made the cute pillow boxes as designed and filled them with candy hearts.  Even though my kid is all grown up he still loves treats and even brought these into his coworkers.  Its fun to create the Paper Pumpkin treats to have on hand for friends, neighbors, waiters and waitresses and anyone else that deserves a treat!
