Welcome to our Team Blog Hop

Hello my Stampin' Friends, Thank You for stopping by today!

Welcome to our January 2024 Team Blog Hop!

I wanted to use my new Hot Air Balloon Bundle for my project because I thought the heart-shaped balloon would be perfect for a Valentine's Day card.  However, the stamp set does not have an applicable greeting.  What to do, what to do?  Well, I did a search through my collection and found a perfect greeting in the Share A Milkshake stamp set!  And, what's even better?  It fit in the banner die-cut from the Hot Air Balloon Dies.  

From there, my creativity soared and I just love the end result.  I hope you do too!


If you would like to create this card yourself, download the PDF Supply List here.  

You can order what you need from there or, I have also posted the links below.   Don't forget, you will earn Sale-a-bration rewards once your order reaches $50 in products so watch your totals so you don't miss out on a Freebie!

I now invite you to hop along and visit my friends as they share their own projects with us.  Be sure to leave comment on all of our blogs to be entered to win this month's give-away!

Congratulations to last month's winner:

January 2024 Paper Pumpkin: Lovely Lavender Inspiration and More

Hello my Stampin' Friends!

I hope that you are safe and warm wherever you may be. 
This weekend is super cold here in SC and I really feel for those of you who are into/headed into the negative digits! Brrrr! 
It's a perfect time to put on some warm and comfy clothes and craft!

If you are looking for some creative inspiration, 
I would like to share a couple of cards I've recently designed 
with the January 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit: Lovely Lavender.

The images in this gorgeous kit are designed to compliment/coordinate with our Perennial Lavender Suite in the current Mini Catalog.
I am so glad I ordered an extra kit this month and I bet, come Monday, when the refills become available (fingers crossed), those refills sell out lightening fast!!! Like, "set your alarm to order quickly" fast!

If you would like to create my alternate cards yourself, 
I have all of the extra supplies I used linked on My Projects Page
Here. Or, click on the photos below.

You will also be able to see additional projects that I have created with past Paper Pumpkin Kits and other products. I have lots there to inspire you with on this bitter cold weekend!

If you are new to Paper Pumpkin, you really need to try it!
I have 3-Month, 6-Month, and 12-Month Pre-Paid Subscriptions 
available in my Online Store and you will 
earn FREE Sale-a-bration item(s) with those purchases! 
Or, you can just add a 1-Month Pre-Paid Kit to a product order.

You can also start a month-to-month subscription - I have details on our next month's kit - plus a link to subscribe - for you below.

Registration for my current class to go
featuring the Country Bouquet Stamp Set 
and Coordinating Punch
closes Monday (January 22nd) at Noon (EST)!
If you do not own the stamp set and punch
you have the option of adding them to your class 
-and save on the shipping & tax - 
so you will have everything you need to create your projects.

New Class To Go - Only For A Limited Time!


Announcing my Country Bouquet Class To Go!

In this class, you will create 8 beautiful cards.  I have discovered a stash of leftover Country Floral Lane and Country Gingham Designer Series Papers and I am sharing them with you!  But, to give these projects an update, I am also re-creating them with the new Lighter Than Air Designer Series Papers!  You get the best of both worlds in this class!

This class is extremely limited - Please Register now to lock-in your Class Kit!

This Full Class To Go contains everything you need to create 8 cards - 2 each of 4 designs (envelopes included) - shown in both the Country Floral Lane AND Lighter Than Air versions! You will have extra embellishments, Ribbons, and Designer Series Papers leftover to continue creating with.  

I am very excited about this class!  I love these cards and I know you will too!





Happy Stamping!
