Good company & good food!

My Paper Pumpkin.....NEW Monthy Subscription

This was just announced at Leadership.....there is a really fun product coming up soon called My Paper Pumpkin.  It is a monthly subscription to receive a crafting project.  They are packaged like little gifts too!  Wouldn't it be fun to receive a little gift in the mail every month?  You can sign up and cancel your subscription any time.  These kits have clear-mount stamps, an ink spot, paper and embellishments, and of course, instructions.  The first kit all will receive is the Welcome Kit, which includes a clear block.  Some kits may have products exclusive to the Paper Pumpkin program, so you won't want to miss out on that!

If you aren't sure about the subscription, you could also get the Try It Kit, which is actually a little journal.  It is a little more pricey, so there is definitely an advantage to signing up with the subscription.

These will be available in March.
But you can start ordering them today.
You have to do that on line at:
 www.mypaperpumpkin.com

Instructions:
  • Log on- name, address
  • Put in your credit card information
  •  You will then get an email inwhich it will send you to a link where you set up a password. (This needs to be 10 characters long & be sure to write it down so you KEEP IT!)
  • Then it will take you to the page that asks if you have a demonstrator.
  • Here you will type in my name & address. Be sure to make sure you click that you already have a demonstrator & put my name in there.

I just signed up for this!!!
I can't wait to get it in March.
Don't hesitate to contact me with questions.

Used the New Designer Builder Brads.....

Good morning!
Here is a pretty card that everyone stamping with me this week is making!
WOW- there are alot of new products used here.
I love this color combination!!
Check out the New Designer Builder Brad. 
They are so COOL!
 'Secret Garden' & 'Feel Goods'
cs:  Elegant Eggplant, Summer Starfruit, Whisper White
Regals Desinger 12x12 paper
Patio Party Designer 12x2 paper
ink:  Elegant Eggplant, Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit
supplies:  Big Shot, Ovals Collection framelits, Honeycomb embossing folder, 1 1/4 Scallop Circle punch, Summer Starfruit 3/8" Satin Stitched ribbon, 1/2" circle punch, Paper Piercing Mat & tool, glue dots, dimensionals, Champagne Shimmer paint, Simply Scoring Tool, Designer Builder Brads

I really like  this card.....it is a fun fold.
The top/flowery part flips up & the Elegant Eggplant bottom flips down.
I used the new Honeycomb Embossing folder on the Elegant Eggplant (flip down) part too- but you can't hardly see it in the photo.

NOTE:
  I stamped the flowers & leaves onto the Whisper White card stock & then ran it through the Big Shot with the Honeycomb embossing folder.

I'm headed to Hiawatha soon to my Stampin' party!!
I can't wait!

Have a super day!
Happy Stamping!
