Paper Pumpkin Alternative Ideas for May & June-- Don't Miss July!!


 This card was made by another demo (Debbie Henderson).
She used the oval dies along with her May PP Kit.

 This June PP Kit card idea came from KD Logeman.
She also used the oval dies to make this project.

I really enjoyed my May Paper Pumpkin, and I have
not had a chance to play with my June kit yet.
It looks super cute though, and I LOVE all the samples
I have been finding!!

If you are not a Paper Pumpkin Kit Subscriber, please
consider getting the kit for July and giving it a try!!

The deadline is July 10th, and please click on this link
if interested or contact me for more details....


Thank you for the visit.
I appreciate each and every one of you for your support!!

Geared Up Garage Display Board Samples.......


Great masculine cards using the Geared Up Garage set.
I don't know who made these samples, but wanted to feature them since
they were older ones on my phone that needed to be taken care of!!

It's always nice to get ideas for cards for the men in our lives.
Of course the color combo that was used for both, is a fav of mine too.

I appreciate you stopping by......Lori

Above The Clouds Stamp Set & Hot Air Balloon Punch by StampinUP.......


The featured stamped images & punch can be
found on pages 89 & 188 in the new Annual Catalog.

For those of you who attended my Open House & Bogo Sale,
you will recognize this card!!  
(it was one of the Make N Takes for that event)

The "opening" was done so the small balloons on the inside
would show through.  We used a circle punch for that.

The card was simple to make and I had fun with the color combo:
White, Black, Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral & Daffodil Delight

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks very much for blogging by......Lori

Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper by StampinUP is Absolutely GORGEOUS!!


I did not make this card, but simply found it on-line.
Will probably CASE it in the future though, because I think its stunning!!

The only stamping involved is for the sentiment.
The circle and the background layer are both the very beautiful
(and popular) Bird Ballard paper.

Kudos to the artist (unknown) for this creation!!
I love the ribbon and the 3 embellishments to finish things off.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Outside of coloring the bird, this card was super simple to make!
Actually, the bird was easy too because I used Stampin' Blends--FABULOUS!!

coloring and the color palette is a beauty!!

Masculine Cards w/ Best Catch & Geared Up Garage Stamp Sets by StampinUP--


With Fathers Day coming up in a couple weeks, its time
for me to start focusing on some good Masculine cards, though
neither one of these would work for my Dad!!  LOL
He was into tractors & farming his whole life.....will explore those options soon  : )
 
Anyway, fishing and/or cars might work for the fathers and
other men in your life. So, I'm super happy that
both "Best Catch" & "Geared Up Garage" are in the new book!!
The Classic Garage 6 x 6 paper has left however.

The top sample was a swap at a StampinUP event, and
the bottom card was made by Kim Baker I believe.
If you have any questions, with either card though I think
I can help you figure things out.  Thanks- Lori
