A Paper Pumpkin Mothers Day Greeting

 

Good morning!  Today I am over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and we are sharing projects created from those wonderful little red boxes that get delivered to our door step each month!  Come on now, I know you know what I'm talking about!  You don't?!?!  Well read on and see what its all about.

 

 

So at Stampin' Up!'s Leadership this past January, all demos who attended were given the choice of two different kits to pick from to take home.  I chose the framed love kit since I had missed out on getting this one when it came out.  I love the little photo frame, but what I love most is that you're able to take the supplies and stamp set and create other things such as cards.  I used all supplies from the kit plus I used my own black ink pad for the sentiment and added a little ribbon at the bottom.

All About The Thank You's

 

Good morning blog peeps!  Today I am over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and we are sharing projects that's all about the "Thank You's".  One can never say thank you enough, so why not give that special someone a handmade thank you card and hand write that special note inside.

 

Sometimes I create a card that I like, but then there are times I create a card that I really LIKE.  This just happens to be one of those cards.  I think its because of all the yellow.  It just makes me think "SUN" and warm thoughts.  I used the crushed curry polka dots and another design from the flowerpot DSP pack.  This has been one of my favorite paper packs to use.  I stamped my flower from the petal potpourri stamp set in crushed curry and layered just a punched one in old olive for the leaves.  The thank you on the banner is from the lots of thanks stamp set and I added some bakers twine.

Cardstock ~ crushed curry, whisper white, old olive
