Long and Lean

 This card is tall and narrow or long and lean. It makes for a fun card and you can mail it in a #10 envelope. I used some of the beautiful Ornate DSP and then used elements from the Daisy Lane set (since I had it out on my desk). Again, fast and easy!

One Layout...2 cards

 I had out my Woven Heirlooms set this week and made a couple of cards using the same layout. I also used images from Daisy Lane for the fern. These were fast and easy and I especially like how the ribbon just brings them all together.

Paper Pumpkin Alternate card

 I also made one alternate for the July  kit. I used my gold ink and made some fun fireworks. I guess I should have opened this kit sooner so I could have used these stamps for 4th of July cards. Maybe I will remember next year.

Summer Nights Paper Pumpkin

 I finally got around to playing with my Paper Pumpkin kit for July! I am so behind with all the Covid-19 stuff and working as a school nurse. Yes, our students are live and at school. It is so much fun. The numbers are spreading across the campuses and we have to track them as nurses. 

Anyway, stamping and quilting have become a refuge for me in this 100+ heat we are dealing with this week. I played with my stamps and made a few of the Paper Pumpkin things.

Paper Pumpkin

 

What’s your favorite thing that comes with the fall season? Is it the ghosts and ghouls of Halloween? The gratitude and yummy food of Thanksgiving? Or, is it picking the perfect pumpkin at the local patch, sipping hot cider at sunset, or snacking on handfuls of candy corn? Whatever you love most about autumn, the Hello Pumpkin Paper Pumpkin Kit offers a way to celebrate them all!

With September’s seasonal kit, you are provided with everything they need to create cracker box treat packages for friends and family.

Whether you assemble the kit’s cracker box treat packages or use the supplies to embellish traditional cards, the Hello Pumpkin kit has something for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks Card

 I got this card from my sister the other day and thought I would share it. She is new to stamping and has been ordering Paper Pumpkin and loving it. I sent her a few stamping supplies and she sent me this cute card. It is so simple. Only the front flap opens and it simply says Thanks.

Thanks card

I don't think you can ever have too many thank you notes, especially if you work in a school or a church both of which I do and I volunteer at church as a minister's wife. I love this daisy and the pretty DSP in the Ornate Style suite is perfect for it. I used some Expresso to set off the colors.

Beautiful Moments card

I made this card and got this set for my daughter who has a birthday coming up this month. She is a mother to 2 little girls and such a good mommy for them. I am planning to make a few cards with this set and then share the set with her for her use. I kept it clean and simple as is my style. Just a little coloring and sponging.

An Anniversary Card

IMHO Stampin' Up! could make a few more sets that say Happy Anniversary. I wanted a pretty card for a friend but could not find the right sentiment so I used this one from Dandelion Wishes. I think it works and I got to use my heat gun with the embossing...something I don't do enough.

A Little Note

This is a case I saw on SCS and changed it up a little but the layout is all hers. I used Very Vanilla and embossed a part of the front of the card then stamped and punched out the little butterflies. Yes, it is butterfly season and they will be migrating through this part of the world soon.

Gift for a New Friend

I am getting ready to go back to school and I don't mean virtually. We are starting as scheduled but the families can choose online or in school. We are expecting 50-75% of our students. I am a school nurse so I will be in the face of every sick student, staff member or whoever walks in the door. I am ramping up. But, in the mix of all this we hired a new nurse in the district so I am putting together a little gift for her. This is part of the gift...hand sanitizer. I used the new bundle LittleTreats and the die that goes with it. So fun and easy to do.
