Paper Pumpkin Fun!

I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .
I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.
I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:
All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create pinable projects. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!
Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone can enjoy!

I am part of an online boot camp offered by Stampin' Up! to help demonstrators promote Paper Pumpkin as part of their business. This is a wonderful program which delivers a fun "class" to your door every month! I love having my bright red box arrive each month and have fun creating the lovely projects designed by Stampin' Up!'s awesome artists and designers!! No thinking just fun!

You can get a fun box delivered to your door too. All you have to do is click the link and join!
There are two ways to join:
1) Click on the above link and put in some information and a lovely red box will arrive at your door each month unless you tell us you would rather skip a month. You will be charged $19.95 each month and the fun will arrive sometime around the middle of each month!
2)Purchase a prepaid subscription for a specific number of months 1, 3, 6, or 12 subscriptions are available. The 1 month is the perfect gift for that crafty someone you love! The 3 month is a wonderful way to try it out for yourself. The 6 month saves a $1/month and can with a few added items get you Stampin' Rewards (hostess benefits)! The 12 month subscription saves you $2/month which is like getting one month FREE! Also the 12 month earns you $30 in Stampin' Rewards!!

Join me on May 17th at 10am in Hinsdale at the Community Center for a chance to create several projects using recent kits and see for your self how much fun you can have every month! Call or e-mail me today to get signed up for this fun event!!!

This class fee includes your calendar kit and I will provide the stamps and ink for you to complete the project.

Class to go and other stuff

Okay, second post today because I could not figure out how to continue post with different format after pasting deals into other post.

I have decided to do the Black and White Class as a class to go. The cost for the Black and White Class to go is $30 and includes supply list, illustrations, brief directions and all card stock and Designer Series Paper that you need. It also includes Priority Mail shipping. You will have to provide the stamp set (I legally can't provide stamped images), ink, your own trimmer(to cut DSP), scissors and adhesive. If you are close enough to pick this up then I will include a $5 gift certificate good for future product purchase or class registration.

This class has been very popular. Let me know if you want to make these 6 elegant cards for yourself!

 

The weather seems to be cooperating so Fun Friday looks to be a go at this point. Stop by the screen house for some crafting fun from 3-6pm. Last week we played with bleach and a fall stamp set. The results were quite lovely! I tried to take a picture of the bleach card and post but my camera and computer appear to not be on speaking terms! I will try to figure it out but not right now. The week before we played with marbles and created this fun card.

Stop by this week and see what we have happening and you just might get to preview some of the goodies I have for the yard sale! Yes, you can buy them early!  

 

This Saturday, September 13th is our neighborhood yard sale. It actually involves two streets and many families. You should definitely check it out!! I will have more things that I have cleaned out of my stamp room...need to make room for so many fabulous new products! I know there will be Designer Series Paper (25 cents per sheet), spools of ribbon(many brand new) and lots of other goodies too! I think we are starting at 8am and going until noon.

 

I am getting very excited for Pink Pint Night! Next Thursday, September 18th I will be at Pink Pint Night which is being held at the Keene Marriot Hotel from 5:30 to 8:30. I will have a quick Make N Take project and will hopefully find people that want to be on my mailing list, book a workshop and register for upcoming classes! I will have a basket of goodies for those that do book a workshop or register for a class.

 

The registration deadline for some upcoming classes is approaching. Be sure you let me know if you are planning to attend and get your registration in soon!

Deadlines: Black and White Class at Cameron's : Wednesday, Sept. 17th

Watercolor Class: Wednesday, Sept. 24th

 

Looking forward to stamping with you soon!!

Fun Friday!!

It is Friday again so that means more fun in the screen house! I have several projects ready for today. So as long as the gray doesn't turn into heavy rain we are good to go! A few sprinkles are no problem so be sure to stop by!

This is one of the cards for today. There are other greetings in this set if you don't need a birthday card right now. This uses one of my all time favorite sets, Lovely As A Tree. Hoping it never retires as it is so versatile!

Sure hope to see you later...3-6 is fun time at my house!
