Good Morning Magnolia Thank You card

If Christmas is the season of giving, January must the season of thank yous. I quickly made a pretty thank you note for friend when they remembered us with a little something at Christmas time. It is so good to always give thanks!

Final Alternate Project

Well, if you have not played with the little pizza boxes in the catalogs you are really missing out. They are perfect for little food gifts or to hold 3x3 cards and envelopes. I used one of the gold ones from the Holiday catalog for this project since these cards use gold touches.

Paper Pumpkin Alternates #3

These are some of the great 5x3/5 cards that have matching little envelopes. I love this size card. It uses less supplies and it is still mailable. I made a little box that holds these 4 cards with envelopes. The box was actually shown on the first alternative day.

Paper Pumpkin Alternates #2

This one features one of the yellow cards that I cut and made into a little box that holds candy treats. It will be such a nice gift for a friend. I can hardly wait to give it to her.

Paper Pumpkin Alternative Projects #1

 I always get 2 Paper Pumpkin kits and I love to play and make different things with them. This one has great sentiments that will be useful all year long. I made a few alternative cards and also some projects. Keep checking back to see more.

Good Morning Magnolia card

I am still drawn to the magnolia stamps (living in the south the magnolia's are prolific). I also love the envelopes and cards they featured in the big catalog with the Magnolia stamp set. They make quick and easy cards but a touch of silver beauty.

Paper Pumpkin for December

My December Paper Pumpkin was delivered sometime while we were on our Christmas cruise. So, I just got around the playing with it and showing some projects. First post I will show the original cards that it made. Later I will be showing some alternate projects.

Perfect Layout

I have found that I really love the little notecards sold on page 168 in the big catalog. They are mailable and just the right size to make some fast, fun cards for anyone. I will be showing the same layout on a couple of different cards. Easy Peasy!

A Birthday Card for a little one

During Sale-a-Bration Stampin' Up is offering a little 6x6 paper cutter with a sampler of the DSP from the new catalog. I used a 6x6 piece of paper to make the card and the envelope. I know I have birthdays that this can be used for this year.

Playing with New Goodies!

I am finally getting to play with my newest goodies from Stampin' UP! I have been very busy with the holidays and it included travelling and spending much needed couple time! Now, I got to play for a few minutes with some of the new things. I quickly put together a little valentine goody to share. I  used some of the pretty Parisian Blossoms DSP and cherry cobbler card stock and made a little treat holder for kisses!

Final New Year's Card for 2020

This final card was also taken from google image. I layered it up a bit more and it kind of looks like a cross of Christmas and New Years with the golden trees and package look to the year. It is still the season. I am looking forward to great things in 2020 and I am praying for greatness for you also.

Another New Year Card

Here is #2 of my New Year cards. I did this one on Briliant Blue and it is bright and pretty. I pray that 2020 is going to be a great year for you all!

New Year 2020

It  appears that I am lacking in New Year sentiments so I turned to my trusty internet and printed a couple of things from google. I did print on SU card stock so it is officially OK.

Thank You Notes

I pray that you all had a wonderful Christmas and got everything your heart desired...as for me and my family...we got to travel home to GA to see family and friends. Our hearts are full! We also had a family cruise a couple of weeks ago and all of us got to be together for a week of fun and no meal planning or cleaning! That is a win-win for all.

I am showing a very simple thank you note for those who send them out after the holidays. I used one of the pretty Scalloped Note cards and stamped a very simple Thank You on it. It is done and ready to go. These note cards come in 4 pretty colors and can be found on page 168 in the big catalog.

Night Before Christmas Memories and More 5

Last card of Christmas...2019. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. These cards were so quick and easy to make. I am probably going to order more to get ahead for next year since I did not mail any of these out. Look out for them to maybe hit the clearance racks.

Night Before Christmas Memories and More 4

It is almost Christmas! It came so quickly this year! I hope you are all ready for it!!!

Night Before Christmas Memories and More 3

And More...The stripes you see are the coordinating envelopes that came as an option with the kit.

Night Before Christmas Memories and More 2

2 more great cards from the ever so cute, Night Before Christmas Memories and More.

Night Before Christmas Memories and More 1

I have just now gotten around to playing and making cards from the cute Night Before Christmas Memories and More kit.  Truly, I should have played with these a long time ago. However, I am on them now and I am planning to post 2 quick cards from the kit for the next 5 posts until Christmas. If you are running late, this kit is for you! Use your imagination and make them yours.

A Quick Snowman Season Card

This is another quick card that I made in just a few minutes and with minimal supplies. I used the Let it Snow DSP and cut strips that were 3 x 1" and made them to look like a little package. I added a ribbon and a sentiment and called it done!

A Christmas Note Card

This is another project that my stampers club made at our last meeting. It came together so pretty using the Wrapped in Plaid DSP and the pretty tree punch. Also, I got to teach them about embossing! It was a win-win-win! I got orders and they got to make some fun things.

The Christmas Tags by Paper Pumpkin Tag 4

For the last tag and card I am so happy to say that they are addressed and sent...Time to relax for the season!

The Christmas Tags by Paper Pumpkin Tag 3

Now for tag and card # 3. I am using the pretty silver cards and envelopes found on page 168 in the annual catalog. They come in silver or gold with matching envelopes and you get 20 in a pack for only $10.

The Christmas Tags by Paper Pumpkin Tag 2

This Paper Pumpkin kit made 6 each of 4 different tags. This is tag #2 and the card I made.

The Christmas Tags by Paper Pumpkin Tag 1

Again, I took these camping with me last week and made them all in one sitting. Great details and lots of fun. Since I am not using tags...my gifts to my children and grandchildren, is a family cruise paid for by Lolli and Pops (that is us). So I am going to use my tags as cards.

then as a card.

Christmas Cards from Paper Pumpkin

I have been subscribing to Paper Pumpkin from the beginning and I have to say that IMHO it just keeps getting better! I love the card kit and did not change a thing. I made all 48 (2 kits) at Thanksgiving with a friend and subscriber and now I just have to address them and get them in the mail. I even bought my stamps so I am ready.

Falling Behind Again!

I have been busy these last few weeks! I went on a cruise with a friend from high school (the 70's) and made some new friends. I also just spent a week at the beach in South Texas for Thanksgiving. We had a blast. Now, I am back to reality (for a week or so) and trying to get  caught up on my blog. I am showing a project that my stamper's club did a couple of weeks ago. These are little sour cream containers and we filled them with candy corn and pumpkins!
