May the cure be found….

Stampin’ Up! joined the fight for the cure of breast cancer by contributing to research a portion of sales from each Pink Paper Pumpkin purchased this month!  Thank you to all who subscribed and helped the fight!IMG_0348

Congratulations survivors!  We pray for your continued good health.  We hurt for those still in the trenches and cry for those we’ve lost.  Stay strong!

The little 3X3 cards were inspired by a card made by our own team member Jennifer Michael.

The Paper Pumpkins come with a crazy too big USPS label but a bit of Un-du takes it right off so you have all of the pretty pink box to see.  The card I attached to the front uses our Bitty Butterfly punch and a sizzlit given me by my dear sister and cancer survivor, Sharon, also, a new team member.  Welcome, Sharon.

The ribbon is the White 3/8″ Glitter ribbon found on page 29 of the holiday catalog.  The picture doesn’t do the sparkles justice.  You just use a marker of your desired color to color the back and voila! colored glittery ribbon.

I used Pink Pirouette cardstock for the card base and our Shimmery White cardstock for the top.  The “For You” uses our Bitty Banners Framelits though the stamp itself is retired.  The Groovy Love stamp set has a stamp that says “From My Heart” that would be a perfect substitute!

Oops, I missed shimmery white cardstock.  It is found on page 149 of the big catalog #101910.  psst:  check out the envelope paper while you are on that page.  It is lightweight and great for making envelopes.

Salt027And a Happy Halloween to all!  We had about 80 trick or treaters and then ran out of goodies. If you are on a sugar high from “sharing” the treats you can stay up and stamp!  Oh yes!

Build A Bouquet

Hello Stamping Friends,

(If you are viewing this in your email, it is just a post.  Click on the little SAL PAL image to go to the main blog. Thank you for following!)

Next event:   Card Buffet, October 17,  10AM – 4PM  I will have six designs.  Make one of each design or just pick two or three designs and make multiples of those designs.  Please RSVP before noon on Thursday so I have enough card kits.  Lunch and snacks are provided.  Cost is $3 per card.

Blog Updates:  There are now tabs at the top of the blog which allow you to go directly to the catalogs and another tab to go to the  Recipe Box where you can get the printable downloads of project instruction sheets, and you can click on the thumbnail picture to go back to the blog where that project was originally introduced.   When you want to make a card that is similar but do not want to try and figure out the dimensions, visit the Recipe Box.   Let me know if this helps spice up your crafting life.

Do you remember the front of the Occasions Catalog in January?  It was the beautiful bouquet kit.  I needed a special bouquet for a special friend and was delighted with this kit.

Build A Bouquet1

Several of you bought the Build A Bouquet kit so hopefully this will inspire you to make it.  Just remember it is a project and don’t expect to get it done in one evening.  I kept reminding myself that it wasn’t a card to be done in an hour but a project, like a quilt, to be done over time-but well worth the time.  The back was as pretty as the front:

The “Build A Bouquet” stamp set had a perfect message:

Build A Bouquet Greeting

Give me a call when you get ready to build your own bouquet and you can use my stamp set and the directions that I recreated so they were easier to follow.  303-815-0838
