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!

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!

Nov 19, 2015 | Decor, Events, Halloween, Parties |
THE INVITATION:
This year the theme of our Halloween party was Outer Space. The invitations were made of Stampin’ Up! products old and new.
The card base and alien were made from Old Olive card stock (or Pear Pizzazz when I ran out of Old Olive.) The background is from the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper in the current Holiday Catalog. The flying saucer body is made from Silver Foil Sheets cut with the Ovals Collections Framelits Dies. The bubble is made from Window Sheets cut with the Circles Collection Framelits Dies. The inside floor of the flying saucer is Silver Shimmer Paper (retired) – not to be confused with Silver Glimmer Paper which is still available.
The alien is from a retired stamp set called Make a Monster – I stamped it on several sheets of the Old Olive or Pear Pizzazz card stock, about 25 aliens per sheet. There were way too many to fussy cut, so I used my Brother Scan ‘n Cut, which did a pretty good job. I glued on the little googly eyes and assembled the card.
For the inside, I printed the invitation info on 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheets of card stock, then scored them and cut them in half for two invitations from each sheet.
Here are the current products I used:
THE DECOR:
We decorated the house with lots of blue lights and silver lamé to give the feel of a UFO. Our patio has brick walls but no roof, so we rented a large tent. That’s where the food was. We hung long silver foil fringe around the tent with blue lights. We made UFOs out of aluminum pie pans and hung them with clear fishing line. The long center food table was covered in silver lamé and had lots of tiny battery operated blue lights strewn on it. My nephew graciously offered his huge Lego Star Wars Death Star as the centerpiece. At the far end you can see the chafing dishes for the hot food. There were ice buffets at the other end for sushi and other cold foods.
The Lego Death Star.
Here’s a photo of the stamping studio turned bar area, before we dimmed the lights. The whole place had silver lamé and blue fairy lights, giving it an eery glow.
Here’s a snapshot of the living room. Most of the furniture was covered in, you guessed it, silver lamé. We had alien balloons that had lights inside. They were filled with helium, but didn’t stay afloat very long, so they just piled up. They did stay inflated for days afterward.
THE CAKE:
Every year we get our cake from Mark & Becky Brickman of Bakers Man, Inc. in Alpharetta, GA. Here they are delivering it. Their wonderful assistant Elizabeth did most of the designing on this one. She did a phenomenal job! It’s a flying saucer that has crashed in the desert and there’s an alien hiding behind a rock. Essentially everything you see is edible, including the alien, the mountains and rocks, and the top half of the flying saucer.
If you’re in the Atlanta area, I highly recommend Bakers Man. Their cakes are always delicious, but the carrot cake is amazing. Not only is it the best carrot cake I’ve ever had, it’s probably the best cake period.
Here’s a close up of the flying saucer. Everything from the widest part up to the top was cake.
And here’s the alien made of sugar. The detail on this little guy was astounding.
THE PEOPLE:
There were some great costumes. Here are just a few: Space Chick, Diet Coke, Twister game, One-Eyed One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater, Soylent Green cracker, Men In Black, guy on safari, Carl Sagan and the Cosmos, Star Trek characters, binary star, a couple dressed in bubble wrap, the constellation Orion, black hole, Saturn, and the Big Dipper.
Neal and I were Mal & Kaylee (older, chubbier, bespectacled versions) from the Firefly TV show.
Okay, so that was the first event in the last month that took my time away from my blog. Next was the Stampin’ Up! Rising Star Retreat in Utah….to be continued.
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
