Freshly Made Sketches #77

I am so sad to see Sale-A-Bration coming to a close next Friday!  So before it is done, I want to give you a little more inspiration as to what you can make with your free sets.  I made this card for a Stamp-A-Stack that I will be holding this evening.  Inspiration came from one of my favorite sketch sites, Freshly Made Sketches (you can see the sketch I used below).   My little 5 year old helped me decide on the color scheme.  After he selected it, I was so surprised to see it was our Sale-A-Bration color scheme!  At 5, he already has a good eye for color!

Here are the ingredients for this card:
Stamps: Patterned Occasions
Ink: Island Indigo
Paper: Pool Party, Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Whisper White
Accessories: 1-1/4" Square Punch, Pool Party Baker's Twine, Sycamore Street Designer Buttons

Simply Elegant with Watercolor Wash

This month our club played with the Watercolor Wash technique.  This technique is simple to do and really creates a great splash of color on your card!  This Sale-A-Bration set that can be earned for free with a $50 purchase and is great to use with this technique.  If you would like to learn how to recreate this card, schedule a workshop with me this month!

Stamps: Feeling Sentimental
Ink: Basic Black, Real Red, Marina Mist, Summer Starfruit
Paper: Real Red, Marina Mist, Summer Starfruit, Shimmery White
Accessories: Aqua Painter, Scallop Edge Border Punch

Some More Valentine Love

This is another Valentine I made last week, but with a change of words could be adapted to any type of card.  The Hearts a Flutter die cuts are so much fun to play with and can be used to make the perfect banner for your cards or pages.  I am hoping to put them to use in a scrapbook page to share with you in the future.  Until then, here are the ingredients for this card:

Stamps: Hearts a Flutter, Filled with Love (words-retired but you can swap for any words you choose)
Paper: Pool Party, Pink Pirouette, Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White
Ink: Pool Party, Raspberry Ripple, Pink Pirouette
Accessories: Hearts a Flutter Framelits, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder,Pool Party Bakers' Twine

Watch for a Watercolor Wash technique card coming soon! 

Introducing Paper Pumpkin

I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .

I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.
 
I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:

• All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create pinable projects. 
• Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!

Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone (even you) can enjoy!
Of course, you'll want to know more. So here's the nitty gritty:

• Each month we send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We've even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
• Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
• Each kit gives you  a 30-minute creativity escape.
• We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.  
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month.
• A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!)
• There's no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
• Starting in early March, we'll offer a Try-It kit if you'd like to try Paper Pumpkin for one month. 
• The Welcome Kit is the very first Paper Pumpkin you will receive in your first month of membership. The Welcome Kit includes a free gift-a clear acrylic block!

If you are as excited as me about this great new kit club, visit  www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!
