Happy Thoughts Paper Pumpkin

This kit came with the supplies to make 8 sweet cards

with lined envelopes.

This is the first design.

The kits come with directions and all the supplies needed for the projects.

You just need to add Snail adhesive and scissors.

Specialty adhesive like glue dots and dimensionals

are included when necessary.

You also end up with extra supplies to use on other projects.

Each kit comes with an exclusive stamp set

and a Stampin' Spot ink pad.  

This month it was the new color Tip Top Taupe.

It's such a great way to build your collection.

Here is my alternate design. 

Here is my daughter Ruby's alternate design.

I LOVE what she did for for the 

center of the flower!

Here is Ruby's second card.

This is the second card design in the kit.

The patterned pieces are die cut stickers.

The stars and the other banner pieces are thin wooden die cuts.

This is my alternate design.

It was inspired by Ruby's design below.

I love how Ruby created a banner for her card.

I also love how she used ink pads and stamps from past kits to

give her projects a unique look.

This is Ruby's second design.

It was my favorite!

Ruby and I always make our kits together.

She is so creative and goes through her 

past kits to pull out stamps and colors

to use on the current projects.

Paper Pumpkin Birthday Bundle

The Birthday Bundle Paper Pumpkin Kit

comes with supplies to make 6 cards

and 4 gift bags.

The gift bag is adorable and even came with tissue paper.

You can see it peeking through the balloon die cuts.

My daughter Ruby used string for her middle balloon instead of stamping it.

These next three cards are Ruby's versions 

of the birthday cards.

This is my alternate version of the card.  

Some past Paper Pumpkin kits are available to subscribers.

Stamp Camp Door Prizes

We always offer lots of door prizes at stamp camp!

I made some little goodie bags using the new

Sketched Dots Gift Bags.

I love this delicate glassine bags.

They have white polka dots printed on them.

I also used the yummy new ribbon

Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace Trim.

Inside each bag was a roll of Washi Tape.

Stamp Camp attendees got some killer deals

at our annual retired sale.

We fill tables with stacks of retired stamps and accessories.

My daughter Ruby created strawberry roses while waiting 

for stamp camp to begin.

Our stampers rotate around to the 6 different projects. 

Here is my faithful helper, Ruby.  I pay her for her help

by taking her to Flying Star after each Stamp Camp.  :)

Stamp Camp Projects

Ruth and I recently had our annual 

New Catalog Stamp Camp.

This is my favorite of the three cards I designed.

It uses the hostess set Best Thoughts and the new Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace Trim.

Watercoloring is my favorite technique, and this couldn't be easier.

I colored directly on the stamp with markers,

stamped it on watercolor paper,

then lightly painted it with an Aqua Painter filled with water.

This card uses the new set Build a Birthday, Cherry On Top Washi Tape,

the coordinating Cherry On Top DSP Stack, and Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim.

This card design was inspired by a card by Michele Reynolds.

This was made with the fun set Sprinkles of Life

and the coordinating Tree Builder Punch.

These stamps are so cute and versatile.  

This card was inspired by a card by Amanda Mertz

We each designed a project with each of the three sets.

I managed to walk off without Ruth's cards,

so I'll try to get those posted later.
