Paper Pumpkin Nov 2017 update

NO PAPER PUMPKIN REFILL KITS FOR NOVEMBER

We will not be selling Paper Pumpkin refill kits for November. There will be a quantity of kits left over after we take care of back orders and the second billing; however, the increased cost of the second order of the China component makes it too costly to sell refills. We will likely sell any remaining kits as past kits. We will make those kits available after the three-month window.

This is straight from the Stampin' Up current updates.

If you did not get your reservation in for the new Stamparatus don't fret there are two more dates for reservations.

                        December 5 - 30, 2017             Estimated Delivery March 19, 2018

                         January 15 - 30, 2017               Estimated Delivery April 15, 2018   

This is going to be so amazing.   For seasoned stampers or newbies.  For $49.00 US you can't go wrong.  Two hinged plates with each being able to stamp two (2) images.

Happy Stamping!

I have been a Harry Potter fan since 1997 when I got the first book.  This is my go to book for just feeling good and need to be with an old friend.  But to now have stamps my other love to go with Harry is just the best thing ever.

I will be making more Harry Potter for all my HP friends that I have made over the years.  I will even use the cat punch so that I can get Hermione's cat in on a Christmas card.  LOL

Have a great day everyone.

Inspire.Create.Stamp Challenge #004

Well it has been a while since I last updated my blog.   Still learning my way around.  But I made this for a challenge at Inspire.Create.Stamp Challenge.   I do enjoy pushing myself with these challenges.  I don't have a great amount of supplies as of yet.  Only joined Stampin Up in August.   But I have made all kinds of crafts most of my life.   Now that I am retired I am totally enjoying working in my craft room and making all kinds of goodies. 

I hope anyone that is reading this blog will go over to Inspire.Create, Stamp Challenge and look around this ladies are very lovely and have some wonderful ideas.

Oh forgot to say this is challenge number 4, Whisper While, Flirty Flamingo, Island Indigo and Soft Sky. 

Card Base Whisper White  5 1/2 X 4 1/4
1st Mat  Flirty Flamingo 5 1/4  X 4
Stamped Mat Using Daisy Delight Stamp Set  5 X 3 3/4
Pendant Soft Sky 1 X 4 1/2
Embellishment Clear Faceted Gems


For the Soft Sky I stamped and then off set for the fuller flower look (full strength both)
For the Island Indigo I stamped first in full strength then offset with second generation of ink for a softer look
Used Island Indigo for the sentiment
Added embellishments (I like to use the odd 3 or 5) personal preference,
