Feb 2021 Paper Pumpkin Bouquet of Hope

                     

                            The new February Paper Pumpkin is out

and it's called Bouquet of Hope.  Don't we all need a little hope

right now?   I would say so!  Take a peek at the video to see

what all is included in these kits.   I tend to make alternative cards

and ideas with the things in the kit.  It must be my creative side in me.

But, if you receive the kit and like to follow it verbatim be sure to follow the video above, it will give you step by step instructions on how to put it together.   Otherwise enjoy my simple alternative card

ideas below;

                                                          Here's what's in the kit....

                                                  

Here's my alternative card,

I water colored in bouquet of flowers

with various colors of ink and stamped the "for your birthday"

and attached it to the front.  

These are great cards for you to use for your stamp kits

or classes (if you are hosting them still!)

These pieces also came in the kit, 

just added the yellow polka dot strip,

stamped the bouquet and colored it in.

Super easy alternatives for you to try.

If you don't have this set, you can always

use the idea with any other stamps you have 

or colors.  My goal is for you to try and 

make quick and easy cards!

It's baaaack!  again!

And I assure you there is more!

You will see this next week how many cards

I have been able to make quite a few cards

with all of the memory cards you see below.

World of Good Memorie kit 

#153600 for $11.00

Such a great purchase!  You will get over 200 pieces!

I used three different cards to create this card

and even cut away around the circle to tuck

one card into the other.

I added some brads to the compasses

and the baker's twine in black.

Stay tuned for more cards!

You WILL want to get this card suite!

More World of Good

Good Morning!

Coming at you again with another card from the

World of Good suite.

These pieces are all in the kit that you can view

World of Good HERE

I used the pieces from the Memories and more card pack.

It is chalked full of 4 x 6 and 3 x 3 cards as well as little sticker

embelishments.  It's a great way to get quite a bit of pieces to

make so many cards for such a low price- $11

I cut out the globe from a 4 x 6 card

and popped it up over the map paper.

Around the base of the globe I added some

gold/creme baker's twine.

The saying is one of the embellishment stickers.

Like I said there are so many pieces that if you just

ordered the memories kit you can make many cards 

with what's in it. 

Here's an up close picture of the twine.

I basically wrapped it around the base

and taped it before adhering it to

the card base. 

Like this.......

I've made quite a few cards with this kit

so keep your eyes peeled for more!

Iddy Biddy Bunnies

I am so giddy finding these iddy biddy chocolate bunnies!

I was in our Bartell drug store and they were just putting 

these cute little chocolate bunnies on the shelf. 

I looked at them and thought oooh,  fun in a bag!

You can get an idea how small they are by seeing

the little guy on my finger. 

I decided to get out my mason jar shaker domes

get them HERE

The background paper can be found

Aren't they so cute?

It brings a smile to my face when you share what

you are doing.  

Magnolia Suite

Happy Monday!

I know this beautiful designer paper is retired but I couldn't help but pull it out to use.  I mean come on' this paper is pretty!

I cut this card the standard size at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

for the inside floral piece I cut it at 4" x 5 1/4"

Once you do this you will cut the corner as you see

in the photo.  I backed the floral paper with a light

peach color and then using pop dimensionals attached

them to the card. 

You can use any words to stamp in the center.

Also think about all the different type of cards you can make with this

idea.  Think about stripes, florals, polka dots. etc. 

I cut out some extra flowers and popped them up

on the front of the card to give it an 3D look.

Give it a try!

Bee Mine

Happy Saturday!

You know I love to scour through both TJ Maxx

and Homegoods looking for fun finds.

I found these packs of honey almond soaps to 

package up and gift to friends.

I started by separating the soaps, you 

get 4 in a box.  I measured some crumb

cake cardstock at 1" x 6' and using a 

corrugator created a little holder around

each soap so I could bag them.

Look at those cute little bees embossed in

the center of the little soap.

Just adorable!

I punched an oval shape and stamped the 

bee in black and then colored in the body 

with a mustard colored pen.

Slide it into a cello bag and tie off with some jute

and there you have it!!!

It's the bees knees!

If you can't find the bee soaps you could easily pickup 

any other soaps and decorate them to gift for Valentine's

or Galentines Days! 

Have Fun!!

Love is in the Air

Valentine's day is coming!

Spread a little love around with something different for

your friends or yourself for your home.

I have "Fall in Love" tea towels in the shop

ready to ship or for pickup if you're local 

OR

What about a copper heart wood bead garland?

Both are fun to give and receive and can be scattered throughout

your home decor.  

On shelves, around a vase, on a table, in a bowl, on top

of books.   The list goes on!

\

I have these cute "love" cups and bowls that

I like to scatter around and fill with red m & m's 

How do you decorate for Valentine's day? 

Valentine Pandas

Spreading a little love around with these cute

Party Pandas for Valentines day.

Don't have a panda stamp?

Look through what you have and use that!

You still can make a very similar card as the one

above, just find the right image to stamp

inside the punched out circles.

To create the three circles on the front of the card

use your circle framelits with the Big Shot.

Before cutting them out measure about where

you want to place the circles.

Find a piece of cardstock to place behind

the bears,  I used a wood grain type paper. 

The are just adorable and are easy to make.

Valentine's day is a comin!

Diy Valentine Frame

Happy Sunday!

Another Dollar Tree find with these cute industrial wood frames.

I looked online for a free Valentine printable and loved

this one. 

The frame measures 3 x 5" so just print out the size you need for your frame.

I stamped the word love on a very small

1/2" x 2" piece of paper, slide it into the hardware.

This has to be the easiest diy,

 you can put any type of photo in this frame for 

any holiday.

I have had a bunch of you reach out saying your Dollar Trees

don't carry some of the items I show you.  

Here is what you can do,

go to Dollar Tree.com and order from there!

You can buy a lot of their items right online

and have them shippied to you or pick up at your

local Dollar Tree store. 

How easy is that!! 

More Yarn hearts

Happy friday!

I shared these yarn hearts with you just a few posts back

in a neutral palette. These are the colors that are in my living

with also a pop of navy.

I thought it would be fun to try some traditional colors for

Valentine's day. 

They are so pretty!

I ended up adding little love tags with mini gold safety pins.

Right now the Dollar tree has an amazing collection

of colored yarn, hard to pick just on!

I hope you give these a try, they are super easy!

You can see how to make them Here
