<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
2. Includes everything listed above plus an ink block, a sheet of stamps you can use on future projects, a stamp block to use with your stamps, and a decorative storage box. $40 ($35 kit, $44.78 value with s/h+tax.) (The additional items included in this kit are shown in the pictures.)</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I will be supplying additional paper so that you can alter some of your cards and make additional cards. I will also have alternate sentiment stamps so that you can use them in place of some of the sentiments in the kits.</div>

Yes they are! I obviously stopped posting for a while. A long while. But here I am again and I'm going to try to do things a bit differently. Like post regularly. And offer classes again. And well. You know. Just more.

I used the the current Truly Tailored line as well as a bit from the Guy Greetings set. These aren't quite as busy as the previous pack of cards but I didn't want these to be overly done either so I went with simple layouts and fun papers instead.<br />

Yay! We've gotten some amazing things at the auction in the past and it's giving me the opportunity to showcase a few cards. The first pack I made were feminine cards all from the March Paper Pumpkin kit. I thought these would be great for birthdays and Mother's Day. I used a combination of the kit contents and some additional cardstock to turn them into standard A2 (4.25x5.5") cards. I could have stuck with the note cards they came with for some but I wanted to make them consistent and I wanted to use the envelope images on some cards instead.<br />

Let me know if you're interested in getting the Paper Pumpkin kits for yourself. Right now they're running a great deal for anyone who hasn't ordered PP in the past- your first two kits are 50% off! jengdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04064793846090642980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221111180299349065.post-77680496472474157972018-03-24T21:19:00.001-04:002018-03-24T21:19:28.063-04:00Picture Perfect BirthdaysI can't believe it's been this long since I posted. I could have sworn it's only been 2wks. I'll get better at this posting thing sooner or later.<br />
<br />
So. Just because I haven't posted doesn't mean I don't have something to share. I wasn't sure if I was going to get Stampin' Up's Picture Perfect products. I really like it but it's not the type of look I usually go with. However, I thought I'd give it a try and I'm really glad I did. At this point I've done a lot of CASing just to get a feel for it and to make a few quick cards. Unfortunately I can't find the source for two of them but the third is from StampinBJ.<br />

It's a very easy line to use with the fun graphical papers. Drop me a line if you're interested in getting some of this for yourself- it'll be available through the end of May. Personally, I think I'm going to have to pick up a 2nd pack of this paper to have for the long-term.<br />

The challenge is to use a bunch of duplicated, masked images. Well, I ran into the same problem I had the other week- I don't have a lot of PTI stamps that work for this type of challenge so you may recognize these roses. At this rate, I'll have a stack of cards for my MIL. lol!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I duplicated and masked off the roses repeatedly. If I were to do this again, I'd probably hand-cut my masks. Since the cut from a thinlet/framelet is usually a bit larger than the stamped image, you're left with the white edge around the images like I have on this card. In some ways, it's good because it helps delineate between flowers. In some ways it's distracting since the edges aren't consistent. Ah well. It's a feature.<br />

I imagine at this point you've at least heard of it. After all, they're celebrating their FIVE year anniversary in March! I have to admit. I got a few of the VERY early kits when it first started and I didn't stick around long. For $20, I got kits that made 4 cards each and they were... what's the word? Weird? I tried it out again maybe two years later and I wasn't wowed but it was better. I definitely felt like I was getting more bang for my buck. However. Now. They've definitely come miles from where they were. The kits regularly make 8-12 cards, sometimes they have small favor packaging and sometimes both. There's always plenty left to use with other projects you might have and there are LOADS of ideas on the internet for alternative projects if the ones the kit has instructions for aren't your style.<br />
<br />
These are the contents of the February kit.<br />

Every kit comes with a set of stamps and an ink spot as well as instructions and a rather ridiculous amount of supplies. They come monthly, usually shipping somewhere from the 10th-13th and you have to subscribe before the 10th to get that month's kit. Paper Pumpkin kits make fantastic, easy to give gifts, either as a purchased kit wrapped up or subscriptions. Subscriptions can be purchased month-to-month, for 3mos., 6mos., or 1 year (all options go month-to-month once done unless cancelled which is easy to do if desired.)<br />
<br />
Every month is a surprise but I can tell you that the March kit is supposed to be a doozy since it's the 5th anniversary one. I have NO idea what we're getting but there's supposed to be a special gift included in each and every kit. <br />
<br />
An added benefit of ordering a Paper Pumpkin subscription right now is that Sale-a-bration (SAB) is also going on. For every $50 you spend, you can get a free item from a catalog of pre-selected items and 3 new items were just added last week. SAB lasts through the end of March.<br />
<br />
Yet another benefit of being a subscriber is that you have access to some previous kits and kit refills from the Stampin' Up site. It's a great way to pick up kits and refills for them if you missed something you simply HAVE to have (and there are some GREAT ones out there!)<br />
<br />
You can find more info about the Paper Pumpkin subscription and see past kits here: <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryID=102601">Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin</a> and see the Sale-a-bration items here: <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/CategoryPage.aspx?categoryid=100010">SAB items.</a><br />

Here it is. The <a href="https://blog.papertreyink.com/2018/02/11th-anniversary-day-10-february-release-day-5-stripes-challenge/">final PTI Anniversary challenge</a>. This time the challenge is to use stripes as the resemble "11", the number of years PTI has been in business.<br />

A fabulous lady shared some sets she'd received for free and I was lucky enough to get one. It's PTI's 2016 Customer Appreciation "Celebrate Big" set. For stripes, I planned to use a striped embossing folder until I realized I don't have one. Oops. Instead I used stripes of striped washi tape. That's lots of striping. <br />

I don't have many PTI inks or much paper so I used Stampin' Up paper that was as close as I could match. I think it's pretty close actually.<br />

I used the "Text Block: Party Time Die" and pieced the balloons back in. I was going to piece white paper into the background but decided to rub on some very fine glitter instead which I really like the look of. I tied a little string of sequins in half with a bit of the holographic thread I used the other day. <br /><br />

I used the "Cover Plate Mighty Bloom Die" and Shine from "Sparkle and Shine Words Dies." I thought about going with a rainbow of colors but decided to make it more of a schnazzy birthday or encouragement card so I used metallic foil papers for the leaves and word. The silver foil Shine is layered on top of 4 black layers.<br />

This one was to use florals, something I'm not usually big on and have never purchased from PTI. I guess it's lucky that there are flowers in some Christmas sets I've gotten. I used the roses from Wonderland and leaves from Color Pop Autumn. I may go back and add the framing bits on the vertical sides also. I cut and layered three "amazing" pieces for height.<br />

They posted a rather robust list of sets that will be retiring and a challenge to use one of those sets. I hate to admit it but I've never used my City Scenes stamps or dies including the soon to retire "City Scenes sentiments." I was going to turn this into a Valentine's card but I couldn't figure out a way to make any of the sentiments work so I went for a general "thinking of you" kind of card.<br />

The <a href="https://blog.papertreyink.com/2018/02/11th-anniversary-day-1-meet-our-design-team-sketch-challenge/">first challenge day</a>, PTI posted a bunch of great projects and sketches made from them. The challenge was to pick one of the sketches and work from it.<br />
<br />
This is the sketch I chose:<br />

<br />
I used the Out of this World Mini Make-It Market kit and switched from six to four featured items on it. The sketch shows a stitched edge die which I thought I had. Yeah. Not so much, at least not a rectangular one. I decided to go full-on nutty and instead hand stitched the edge with a holographic poly thread that I picked up two years ago for a PTI Stamp-a-Faire challenge. It gives a nice shimmer to the card. <br />

If you remember, back in August I was one of Unity's "Growing in Unity" gals. Every other month there's a hop of the latest GIU gals where we share one final project. For mine, I'm using the set that I received for my GIU week- <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/shop/pick-your-poison-september-2014-sentiment-kit/">Pick Your Poison</a>. I've been looking at the set for quite a while and finally decided that it was time to get it.<br />

The birthday girl is VERY girly and apparently very into office supplies. I don't ask questions. lol! I made her a small selection of girly office supplies: a set of tapes we bought, covered regular sized and mini post-it pads, a labelled jar of multi-colored paperclips, and a post-it on a mini-clipboard. I also made a small bag to hold some purchased push-pins and extra post-it pads.<br />

There was a test tube holder and two cards, one which everyone made, one that participants were able to pick from a few samples. I was having a bad mojo morning so I went and dug around on Pinterest. Instead of finding one card, I found several I cased for samples.<br />

<br />
I held my first Stampin' Up class last month. It was a birthday card class and while only 2 people came, I think they both had fun and liked the cards we made. They had a choice of pink or blue for the balloon card (one made blue, one made pink as it turned out), they both made the succulents card, and then they had a choice of colors for the final card which was a birthday candle from the Feb. 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit.<br />

I'm hoping to have a few people show up for this weekend's class, Small Holiday Gifting. We'll be making 6 projects- a votive holder, gift card envelope, candy wrap, 2 small boxes and one yet to be determined project.jengdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04064793846090642980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221111180299349065.post-25056297908737815222017-08-04T08:00:00.000-04:002017-08-04T08:00:32.965-04:00Growing in Unity Girl Week! Day 5! Well. This is it. Day 5. Already. It's gone quickly but it was a great experience once again.<br />
<br />
Today I did something a bit different. Instead of a card, I made 2 lunchbox notes for my son. I keep saying I'll put these in his lunch but I haven't yet consistently. Maybe this is the year.<br />

I stamped the image and sentiment of the I Loaf You card directly onto a trimmed piece of manila folder, colored it with watercolor pencils and a bit of white gesso. (It was a whole lot closer than my white acrylic paint. lol!)<br />
<br />
The lightbulb on the shine card was stamped onto white cardstock and I used a gold watercolor pencil to make the illumination marks. I trimmed it, mounted it on the manila card and stamped the sentiment. Both cards were then trimmed with a bit of washi tape.<br />
<br />
I hope I've given you a bit of inspiration this week and you've enjoyed spending a bit of time with me. Don't forget to leave your comments- I'll draw a winner on Saturday. Have a great weekend!<br />

Once again, I broke out a snarky stamp from an {after dark} set. She Used to Care is a set that just makes me laugh and I imagine a lot of friends would feel the same.<br />

I love this set, Snowglobe Wonderland. It has a wonderful array of fun images that can be added to the globe to change the look. I went with the city fading into the background with trees in focus.<br />
<br />

I clear embossed the glass of the globe, applied a heat and stick powder along with some chunky, holographic glitter, and then put on a layer of clear embossing glaze (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel- UTEE) which is thicker and chunkier than the embossing powder used on the first layer. It's a bit tough to see but the snowglobe and sentiment were raised with dimensionals.<br />
<br />
Please join me again tomorrow for day four and don't forget to leave a comment!<br />

Day 2!Welcome back for my GIU week, day two! I'll just jump right into it.<br />
<br />
I'm with many others and find mason jar stamps great fun to work with. I love the small ones in Jars of Love x3 and thought about making another shaker with them. Instead, I kept it a bit easier and just used the hearts image that came in the set. I channeled my inner Lisa Frank (if you weren't an avid sticker collector in the 80's and have NO idea who I'm talking about, have a look <a href="http://www.lisafrank.com/">here</a> and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/lisafrankinc/">here</a>.)<br />

While it's a bit hard to see here, the jar lids have gold Stickles applied to them and all of the hearts have been coated with Wink of Stella.<br />

Day 1!I didn't have the chance to do this last year but I'm excited to be back as a Growing in Unity Girl for 2017. I'll be sharing a project each day this week featuring Unity stamps. I hope you stick with me for the entire week and enjoy what I share. At the end of the week I'll draw two winners from all of the comments left on the posts and they'll each get a bundle of goodness from Unity!<br />
<br />
I have to warn, I'm a huge fan of the Unity {after dark} stamps so some of my projects will be rather "cheeky."<br />
<br />
For my first project, this is a stamp I got a while back that I thought would go beautifully with a shaker. How better to share happy dust than to send starry sparkles?<br />
