Feature Friday

Hope you had a great week! For some you may have had an extra day off! When I worked retail, holidays didn't mean much except for time and a half! So glad I'm not doing that and really don't like to "hit the stores" on holidays if I don't have to. I feel so bad for those who have to work on the big holidays and can't spend that time with their family or friends. 

I'm having some internet issues, so this post is a bit late. Hopefully the others won't be effected. I'm so excited about this month's feature! I am about all of them or I wouldn't be doing this, but this is a different bundle for me and have been having so much fun playing around with this product suite.

For those who may be just stopping by for the first time, I do a Product of the Month and Feature it each Friday of that month. This month, is the Product I'm featuring is the suite Tranquil Textures on pages 154 and 155 of the Annual Catalog.

I'll be featuring all of these products each Friday, so be sure to stop by each week to see what's new! This first card I created for my Brusho Class I had last month. For me, this was the most fun to create! I have a couple of close up pictures, just so you can see some of the little details that I think really make this card. You'll be able to purchase all the products used from my STORE or I'll have a list below of all the products I used.

The little fishes are making a mask from one of the dies and then using a sponge to ink the fishes onto the card.

In this picture, I'm showing the two tone octopus and the beads below it. BTW, the beads are my monthly VIP gift to you! Just use my VIP Host Code 9MD4MGKV I did case this card but unfortunately don't have the info who I cased it from.

This picture just show the knot. I basically made a loop and tied it then cut the loop. I thought it had a nautical look. It did take some time to make this card, but SO worth it!

So this card I wanted to showcase something much easier. I also cased this from a demonstrator overseas, but don't have her info either! I'm so sorry! To make the square, I die cut a square from card stock and held it in place. It probably would have been easier if I taped it down but didn't think of it at the time! The background ink is just sponged on. I used that same mask that I used for the first card for this card too.

I hope you enjoyed these projects/cards for the first week of of my Tranquil Textures. If you have any questions on how to do either of these cards, please contact me, I'd be more then happy to help! I have more planned and if all goes well, with my internet, I'll have them up! Make sure you use this month's VIP Host Code 9MD4MGKV to earn your FREE gift from ME! Scroll down for a list of all the products I used to make these cards.

Happy Fourth of July! and a Paper Pumpkin day!

I hope you're having a great Fourth of July and enjoying some time with family and friends! I wish I had something in Red, White, and Blue, but I didn't plan that far ahead!

Today I have some Paper Pumpkin alternatives from our June kit called Broadway Star, which coordinates with the Broadway Bound Suite in the Annual Catalog. Here is the kit and the suite from the catalog.

Here are the projects from the catalog to give you some ideas what you can do. This is a great bundle to do birthday projects with.

Now I have some alternative ideas for you to do with the kit! I did case these, but don't know who to give all the credit to. I tried to use only parts from the kit, but did use a few additional items as well.

 This card I only used a piece of Lovely Lipstick to go under the green flagged piece, which is from the kit.

Here I used the new black cord and a small piece of Basic Black card stock to go under the "Hooray". You can see the "Hooray" much better in real life. Guess it didn't photograph well.

 These two (above & below) only used the kit. Stampin' Up! has a Paper Pumpkin page on Facebook and they did a Live event and showed a bunch of samples that other demonstrators sent in. These were a couple that I really liked and they were simple to make!

I hope you enjoyed these and they've given you some inspiration to make your own or to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin! I'd love to have you as a customer! Get started on your subscription HERE. You can also check out the Broadway Bound Suite in my STORE to purchase any of the above mentioned products. Don't forget to use this month's VIP Host Code 9MD4MGKV when shopping!

New Catalog Swaps - Part 3

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! I'm posting this from vacation and had a great weekend! We went to a neighborhood picnic and got to meet some new neighbors and spent Sunday on our sandbar. The weather is really HOT but just laying around in the water you don't even notice!

I have a couple more posts from my new catalog swap I organized in May. This is perfect because I haven't had a chance to get some things together to post, so hopefully this won't take too long to do. You can find all the products available in my STORE. Make sure you use the NEW Host Code 9MD4MGKV for July! I'll have these links at the bottom as well.
