I love my Paper Pumpkin kits! Every month I receive a box that has everything I need to complete that month’s project. It might be cards, gift bags or boxes, a decor item – it’s always a surprise, a really good surprise!

Whether you want to get together with friends each month, or you just want a little crafting time alone, Paper Pumpkin is a wonderful way to get your craft on. And these kits are easy enough for beginners, and awesome enough for advanced stampers.

All you need is the Tin of Tags stamp set, an acrylic block, some ink, and adhesive! The tags are perfect for Christmas, but can be used for other events, too. And after you finish the tags, you have some goodies left over to use on other projects! And look at the stamp set – great for Christmas and other gift giving occasions. This should be in everyone’s gift stamping arsenal.

Tin of Tags Project Kit, Item # 142011, $22.00 $15.40

 

 

Here’s what I used:

Note: Blocks A, D, and G are recommended for use with this stamp set. The smaller blocks do make it easier to use smaller stamps, but you can use only the larger D Block for this kit. You can use a large block with a small stamp, but you can’t use a small block with a large stamp.

Paper Pumpkin Party!

Sunday, January 3, 2016, 5-7 PM

1621 Executive Park Lane NE, Atlanta, GA 30329

RSVP: candy@stampcandy.net, subject line “PPP”

Please respond by January 1 so I’ll know how many people to set up for.

After the Open House on the 3rd, we’ll take a break, then have our monthly Paper Pumpkin party, where we’ll assemble our kits together.

You can see a completed kit, as well as some alternative projects using the kit.

Bring your December Paper Pumpkin kit, scissors, adhesive, and the acrylic block that came in your first kit. (I have adhesive you can buy if you need it.)

If you are one of my subscribers or one of my team members, it’s free! Otherwise, there is just a $5 fee to attend.

Light refreshments provided.

Pumpkin what?

Are you wondering just what the heck Paper Pumpkin is? Well, it’s a little box of crafting goodness that comes to you in the mail each month. Each kit includes everything you need to complete that month’s project, except scissors and adhesive – often they even include adhesive! In your first kit, you get a clear acrylic block to use with all future kits. Everything is cut and measured for you so all you have to do is stamp and assemble it.

The stamp sets that come with the kits are exclusive to Paper Pumpkin. You’ll never see them again. And did I mention that subscribers, and only subscribers, may purchase past kits and kit refills? There are so many perks to subscribing!

If you’re not yet a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, and would like to see what all the fuss is about, come to the party and you can play with mine for just $5! Subscribe at the party and get a free gift, and your party fee refunded for that night!

How do you get it?

Subscribing is very easy.

RETIRED BOGO SALE

Sunday, January 24, 2016, 1-4 PM

1621 Executive Park Lane NE, Atlanta, GA 30329

Please park along the street (Woodcliff) behind our building.

I have so many retired products that need new homes! Stamps, paper, kits, embellishments, etc. Many are brand new, never opened.

BOGO! For every dollar you spend on retired items, you get a dollar toward an order of new products! For example, if you spend $50 on retired products, you get $50 toward a new order! You just add tax and shipping. So while you’re shopping the retired items, remember that for everything you buy, you’re actually getting twice that amount in merchandise! Now that’s a sweet deal!

Put together your wish list before you come, to make your order go more smoothly!

Do you have retired Stampin’ Up! products that you’d like to sell so you can order new products? Bring them to me by January 22 to add to the sale. Every dollar you sell goes toward an order of new products! All products must be marked with price and your ID – I recommend using the same washi tape for each item so we’ll know which items are yours when people are checking out. Feel free to contact me for more info: candy@stampcandy.net or 404-661-5222.

Don’t miss it!

Using Leftovers for InKing Royalty Blog Hop

 

InKing Royalty blog hop 09-30-15

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop. We are helping to prepare you for October with super-fun Tricks OR Treats. Our projects center around fun techniques (tricks) or creative ways to package up Halloween goodies (treats.) In some cases you might get BOTH! What fun! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

I’ve used a few tricks (sponging, heat embossing, crumpling) and leftovers from the Witching Decor Project Kit, to create this candle label. The candle itself is a battery operated black candle from the local Halloween store.

For the label, I used four leaves, a label, and a Spider Web Doily from the kit. I flipped the black doily over to the white side and inked it up in Cajun Craze.

I sponged the label in Delightful Dijon, Cajun Craze, Tangelo Twist, and Soft Suede inks to create a mottled effect. I thought about embossing in clear and inking in Basic Black or Early Espresso – the Joseph’s Coat technique. But then I decided to heat imboss the image in gold.

I crumpled the leaves with my hands and inked them up in Soft Suede.

I glued all the parts together and glued the label onto the card stock belly band.
