October Team Stamp It Blog Hope

Welcome to Team Stamp It's Blog Hop! You may have just arrived here from Tami's blog. I absolutely love her project! Tami is such an inspiration. I hope one day I will grow up to be Tami:)
If you are just started, you can navigate through the hop by clicking the Previous and Next buttons on the bottom of this post.

The idea behind my project is simple - I am always in need of "Thank You" cards because there is always something to be thankful for. Most of the time we are all so busy to take a moment to show our gratitude for people around us that brighten our day. And sometime those are the people, strangers - that you may never see again. I always wanted to have few cards in my purse for those occasions. Here is my November "Give Thanks" box full of the cards just for that purpose - taking few moments to say Thank You.

How Tos:
  • Start with whisper white and crumb cake note cards. 
  • Cut Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie card stock to 3.25 x 4.75, emboss. 
  • color embossed parts of the card stock with mixture of water and gold dazzling details. After cardstock dries - it looks gorgeous.
  • whisper white cardstock - 2.5 x 2.5, use trio punch for corners. Stamp image in black archival ink. Than color with aqua painter and markers
  • add half of small gold paper dolly to the bottom of stamped image. Add to card front with dimensional 
  • stamp sentiment, use window punch to punch it, add to the card

Simple as that! You can have 40 cards done in no time. If you desire, use different color of card stock and different image for other seasons. I love this stamp set, especially the image with pumpkins. Everything in our house is pumpkin oriented now. We buy pumpkin bread, pumpkin  cake mix, pumpkin cream cheese, yogurt, ice cream, soup....And the list goes on and on.
Here is my own paper pumpkin (well, it is not The Paper Pumpkin, just a pumpkin made out of paper).

And another card - with pumpkins. This is one of the cards we will be making in my class today.

Thank You for stopping by.



All supplies are available in my store,

Happy Stamping!

Washi Tape Fall Card

Happy Monday!
This is one of the cards from a class I had this Saturday. Half of ladies said this card was their favorite - very colorful, but quick and easy. Washi tape is such a great product, easy to use, adds so much to the card. Give it a try if you never used washi tape before.

Happy stamping!

Quick and Easy - Fall Cards

I designed 2 more cards for the Crafting Happy Hour in my local wine shop. I had this event 2 days ago. As all ladies were new for stamping, I needed something beautiful and easy for first time stamper. This is what I came out with. This was the first card we stamped:

 Second card had much more stamping, and everybody absolutely loved it:
 Other 2 projects were the ones I shared with you in previous post.
I always ask in my classes what project is your favorite and why. This class was not exception. And the vote went to the wine tag this time. Everybody though it was such a great idea and useful for upcoming holiday season. So I decided to make a dozen for wine shop owner as a Thank You for hosting my Crafting Happy Hour classes.


See the details with dimensional HERE.

Happy Stamping!

Acorny Thank You for Happy Hour

I will be hosting my second Crafting Happy Hour tonight at my local wine shop. We will be making fall cards and wine bottle tag. And I really wanted to use Acorny Thank You stamp and punch - this bundle is my favorite right now. Here is 2 of the 4 projects we will be making:
 Card is a case from the card I saw online from very talented stamper Raquelle (Lady Stamper). It is quick and easy card and will be perfect for new stampers.
 And this is close-up look for the wine tag.

How To for tag:

Tag is just 2.75" x 5.5" card stock scored at 1.75", than punch a hall with 1 3/8 circle punch and decorate as desired. You can make 6 those small tags from one sheet of card stock.

I will post 2 more projects that we will be making later this week.

 Happy Stamping!

September Paper Pumpkin - Time to Play

My September Paper Pumpkin finally arrived Monday. It was super long wait for me this time, as many of my friends received their pretty box Friday. I absolutely love the project for this month. Quick, super cute treat bags - just perfect for fall thank you. Here is how the project looks:

 And idea how to create those treat pouches is absolutely genius! I will be on the watch for small paper bags similar to one included in the kit to make a larger number of treats. Stay tuned on what I will find.

And now to alternative project:

The stamp set in the kit is amazing - so many cute fall images (leaves, acorn, hat, pumpkin), decorative elements (doted and strait lines, swirls) and nice sayings perfect for little tags. The images are perfect to add accent or use to create your own design paper. Here is my project: small treat box and card.
Here is closer look of the card.
Hope you like this month Paper Pumpkin as much as I do. Not a subscriber yet? Do not wait -  join the Fun!

Happy Stamping!
