Kits Are Kool - Celebrate Spring

Hello and welcome,

Today I am back with another fantastic Paper Pumpkin kit called Celebrate Spring. I don't know about you, but I think this kit has all the elements of soft pastels, a cute bunny, a spring basket and of course, flowers. Take a peek at the February kit.

I really like the stamp set that comes with this kit, and I know I will be keeping it. The fonts are pretty and the images are very detailed.

I decided I wanted to also make some alternatives, so I brought out some supplies I had on hand to create these:

Using Bubble Bath, Balmy Blue and Petal Pink for card bases, I added several pieces of the Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is glossy on one side and matte on the other. It has several larger designs that can be used as a background or a larger focal point. Combined with supplies left over from the Paper Pumpkin kit, I included stamped images from the Easter Basket stamp set and dies, as well as the Reason to Celebrate stamp set. I've listed all the supplies down below and you can click on any of them to take you to my online store if you'd like to purchase.

If you have ever wondered about the monthly subscription to Paper Pumpkin, let me tell you it's a great value for the price. You can subscribe month to month like I do, or you can prepay for 3, 6 or 12 months. There's always a little sneak peek of the kit before it ships and if you don't want that kit, simply change the number of kits to ship from one to zero. You won't be billed, and you can go back and change when you want the next months' kit. There is a time limit and that is you have to change or suspend your kit shipment before the 10th of every month.

Here's a sneak peak of our March kit. This kit will have TWO stamp sets included, along with an ink spot, and all the supplies to make the projects. You will also have supplies left over to create other things with supplies you have on hand.

As a special perk of subscribing, you will have the opportunity to purchase the "add on dies" that coordinate with the kits in each quarter. For example, the Beautiful Blooms Dies Add On coordinate with the January, February and March kits. Next month, a new die set will be available and will coordinate with the April, May and June Paper Pumpkin kits. Why not take a chance and try Paper Pumpkin today? Check it out on my Paper Pumpkin tab to the right. You can suspend or cancel your subscription at any time, and you also have the opportunity to increase your kits to gift to a friend. And each month there are refills available at my online store if you want more fun!

Thanks for stopping by today. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. New catalogs are coming soon, so if you want one, be sure to let me know and I'll add you to my mailing list.

Have a great week!

New Kits ! New Online Exclusives !

Hello everyone, happy day to you all,

We have four new kits to share with you today. Every other month, Stampin' Up! adds new kits and also some great Online Exclusive products for our crafting enjoyment. Check out these great kits below.

Our Happy Happenings kit has amazing colors and designs. So many reasons to give a card are inside this kit.

The Best Ever kit has something for everyone to encourage or recognize.

RADIANT REMINDERS KIT

EVERY LITTLE THING KIT

The Radiant Reminder and Every Little Thing Kits are NOT card kits! These kits are works of art that you can display in your home or give as a special gift to someone. After they are assembled, display them on the amazing Standing Clipboards that can be purchased separately.

These kits are now available in my online store. Everything you need to complete the projects is inside the box. Why not check them out today?

And don't forget we now have some new Online Exclusive products that just launched March 3rd. More stamps, dies, papers and embellishments to create any type of project. If your order is $ 75 before tax & shipping, you can also add our March Product of the Month (POM) to your cart for just $ 5 more! Check out this beautiful Notes of Spring stamp set.

Just think of all the pretty things you can make with this set. Notes of Spring is a "two step" set that allows you to stamp your outline image first, then use the "fill" stamp to fill in the image with a coordinating color. The example project was made using one of our designer papers and I think this is the Beautiful Gallery 6x6 pack. A quick snip of the completed stamped images makes this project frame worthy.

Take a peek at all the new items in my online store and see if you don't agree. And don't forget my ordering bonus is still running for March. Check out the tab above called "Ordering Bonus" and see what you can get FREE for your order this month.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a craft happy day! 😉

Team Cards

Today I would like to share some cards made by one of my team members. Since I moved from Arizona to Missouri in 2022, we meet online every month for stamp camp. It's nice to catch up with them but I sure do miss our in-person events. Maybe someday I can make a trip back for a visit. In the meantime, our monthly get togethers will have to do.

Kathy was our host for December, and she had a Christmas Open House for everyone. I used to do that when I held the stamp camps and it's always a fun time. Here's the cards she designed:

Aren't these beautiful? Kathy did a one sheet wonder, and everyone went home with all 7 cards. I opted to make all mine birthday cards so that I would have enough on hand when needed. She used the Floral Charm designer series paper. Here's a look at this beautiful pack of papers.

All the card bases were made with Mossy Meadow cardstock, and a bit of texture was added on some using the Eyelet embossing folder on Petal Pink cardstock.

We had a great time making these and I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a great day.

Framed All Around

Hello friends,

Today I am sharing a new soon to be released, Online Exclusives stamp set. Framed All Around is a great set that captures some delicate floral and leaf images, just inside a two-corner frame. Here's an image of the stamp set and a card I made.

When I first saw this, I thought that the floral designs were especially delicate looking, so I decided right away that I would frame the two corners and add the florals like they were popping off the framed areas. I do not think you could actually make a whole frame because the size would have them overlapping. However, I think it's pretty just the same.

What's even better is that I was able to make 20 of these cards in less than 5 hours, coloring included. How you ask? We have a new product coming soon called the Stamp Positioner. It will not be available for purchase until later this year, but you can get one now, absolutely free if you join my Desert Inkspirations team. More on that below. Here's a close up of the card so you can see how great this Positioner really is.

YOU CAN GET THIS STAMPIN' POSITIONER ABSOLUTELY FREE !

This Stampin' Positioner is not yet available until later in the year, but you can get one absolutely FREE by signing up to join my team. For a small fee of just $ 99, you choose $ 125 worth of product from any current catalog, Last Chance or Online Exclusives category. Your Positioner will be included FREE (an additional $ 45 value) and you also get FREE SHIPPING on your entire order. You do NOT have to hold classes, and you can join just for the discount, as most people do. You will get products you already love at a 20-25% discount and join a family of like- minded crafters, with access to social media platforms and chances to attend Stampin' Up! events several times a year. You are under no obligation to continue as a demonstrator and never have to place another order if you don't want to. So, why not join my team today and get $ 170 in product for just a one-time fee of $ 99? This special joining offer will expire on March 2nd and the Positioner will be available for purchase sometime later in the year. Isn't it better to get it free?
