Paper Pumpkin Cards

As promised here are the cards that were made with the first Paper Pumpkin kit.

It was a really fun and easy project to do. I had even more fun since I got two out of three kids to help! Both Ben (almost 4) and Madelyn (almost 7) created a card all their own. I made one following the directions and of course one that is kicked up a notch.

Here are the photos.....

Ben was really proud that he was able to make the card all by himself.

Here is the card as made following the directions....

Here is Madelyn's card.....

Here is Ben's card.....

Here is the stepped up card, I added a mat of Old Olive & the Baker's Twine to the button along with some extra stamping......

I should have taken photos of Maddie while she was making her card too but Ben was acting extra goofy when he started to make his so I had to bring the camera out. I'll have to get him his own sticker collection now to since that was his favorite part, well that and stamping, and glueing, and well everything!

*Side note I did offer to have my oldest son Brendan (10) make a card to and he wasn't having any part in that. His response was "No, I'm good" 

This is a perfect to-go project, something to do with the kids/grandkids or just for a rainy day. I love that everything (you'll need SNAIL) is in the kit :)

Paper Pumpkin

Once again today my little Miss Maddie was home sick from school. Hopefully tomorrow everything will be back to normal and we will be back on schedule here.....or as close as we can get with all three kids.

But it was a nice surprise to find that my Paper Pumpkin kit has arrived all ready!
I can't wait to work on this tomorrow with lil' Miss Maddie.

Here are some photos of what the kits contains:
A welcome note.....

The kit is all wrapped up in tissue for that extra special feeling.....

Here are the contents for the first kit......card kit, Basic Grey spot & two clear mount stamps.

Included in the kits are all the items needed to make the card shown in the picture include direction on how to assemble the card. All that is needed is some adhesive (SNAIL, Glue Dots, etc) Note - the clear acrylic block was a special bonus gift for the first month.

The nice thing is your creativity can begin now....you can use your stash of ribbon, extra buttons and any retired items to make this project your own. 

Both Maddie and I will each make a stepped up version of this card tomorrow. You can sign up for Paper Pumpkin at  www.mypaperpumpkin.com be sure to list me (Jennifer Andrews) as your demonstrator!

Dude, You're Welcome! Card Kit

Today I am showing the new Dude, You're Welcome! card kit. Brian (my husband) is pretty good at leaving me little notes and cards every now and again so I thought that this could be something that was just for him. I think he's scared of the about of stuff that I have to try and do anything on his own. I've taken some stuff out for him in the past to let him work with the kids on some cards and such.

Plus it comes all in a nice sturdy box that will help him keep it all together. I don't have a 'card' to show off the kit but we did try out the stamps on some of my paper so we weren't using his. Here are some photos:

Here is what is all included in the kit (both the stamps are double sided and come mounted!), the 4 stamps, Classic Basic Grey Ink Pad, Twelve 4" x 6" Postcards and Twelve Basic Grey Envelopes. 

I really love the sticker that is included too:

Here is what 3 of the 4 stamps look like:

When he gets around to making something I will post photos of that as well for you all to see :) 

Here's the ordering information: Dude, You're Welcome! #132807 $24.95   (it's located under the Special Offers section)
