Stampin' Up! Weekly Deal Feb 23 2016

Here are the new Stampin’ Up! Weekly Deals for you!  These are good today through Monday, February 29. Wow!  February is almost gone, and it is a Leap Year so we get an extra day in February!

This week we have a flower punch, the Flower Medallion Punch, that coordinates with the flower in Crazy About You. You can also use it to punch cardstock or designer paper to make a multitude of flowers!  The Happy Heart Embossing Folder just got a workout for Valentine’s Day, but of course hearts aren’t just for Valentine’s Day!  You can use it for any sweet card, birthdays, anniversaries, all occasions really.  The Stars Framelits Dies are great to have on hand!  I’m a big believer in having “stars” to use on all kinds of cards such as congratulations, graduation, kids’ cards, 4th of July, birthdays – you name it!

We also have the 2015-17 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers on sale!  I use my markers a lot in various projects.  And if you don’t own all the ink colors, you can get by with the markers.  Just color directly on the stamp with the marker. And if you like buttons, we have the Classy Designer Buttons which are a vanilla color. Great neutral to use for many projects, but if you prefer, color them with Sharpies for a custom color.

January 2016 Paper Pumpkin Valentine Treats

I’m getting some Valentine treats ready made from my January 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit. This kit makes a banner for Valentine’s Day and  these heart-shaped treat bags. All you need is some chocolate candy to put inside. (Candy purchased for professional purposes only, of course!!!)  All supplies came in the kit including the strips of adhesive used to glue the sides of the hearts together. You can use the included stamp set to personalize your hearts and you can even write a messsage of love on the back!

Today is the day!  If you would like to get the next Paper Pumpkin Kit in your mailbox in February, subscribe today or add a prepaid subscription to your Stampin’ Up! order.  The 10th of any month is the date by which you need to subscribe or pause or cancel your subscription because in a few days the next kits will go out!  I can picture the red boxes all stacked up in the Stampin’ Up! warehouse right now!

No worries!  If you miss the 10th today and join Paper Pumpkin later on, you will just get the next kit! It’s all good! Paper Pumpkin is for experienced and unexperienced crafters and stampers, old and young, girls and boys, grandmas and grandchildren, nieces and nephews, friends and college students – whoever is looking for a little break in our busy lives to just sit down and play with a surprise project once a month without having to design something or go out and buy supplies, etc.  It all comes in the red box! Maybe you need some glue and scissors, but maybe you won’t.

If you have any questions, just ask!  Email me at Karen@KarenStamps.com. If you are ordering from Stampin’ Up! anyway, then add on the 3-month Prepaid Subscription and earn a free Sale-A-Bration product for your subscription because you are spending over $50. It may even boost your order up to Hostess Rewards. And if you just want to try it for a month or two and see how you like it, join HERE or click to get more information.

Paper Pumpkin January 2016 by Stampin’ Up!

Leave a reply

Don’t look if you haven’t received or opened your Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit yet!

Mine is still unopened in the box, but it was a busy week and I think this weekend might be a good time for some Paper Pumpkin time! Don’t delay too long with your kit as there is a time factor involved! And I have to remind myself of this, too — you can use the stamp set that comes in the kit for other stamping projects! I often use it for the kit project and then put it away!  I missed out on using the greetings in one kit on other cards for a holiday because I just didn’t think about it!  Some people store their photopolymer Paper Pumpkin stamps in the Project Life by Stampin’ Up! Photo Pocket Pages and then in an album for easy access. I think I need to get organized and do that!

OK, so if you are still reading then you probably want to see what the Stampin’ Up! January 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit is all about!  Here is the Stampin’ Up! video that shows how to put the kit together. Keep in mind, with each kit you can follow the directions….or not!  Sometimes you can make part of the kit as they describe and then make alternate projects with the remainder of the pieces.  It just depends. Each month’s  kit is different! And I love that Stampin’ Up! provides a video to watch, if you want, for each kit. So besides reading the directions, you can also watch how to make the kit.

If you would like to receive a Paper Pumpkin Kit in your mailbox once a month (or whenever you choose), the best deal right now during Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration promotion is to order the 3-Month Prepaid Subscription and save $5. This will qualify you for a free Sale-A-Bration item from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure! I recommend adding some other products to your order because you will be paying the normal $6.95 minimum Stampin’ Up! shipping for your free SAB item. Might as well get some adhesive and Paper Snips or ribbon or cardstock along with it to make the shipping worthwhile! That’s my opinion anyway!

When you order before the 10th of any month, you will receive that month’s kit!  So order before February 10th and get the February kit.  Order later in February and you will receive the March kit.  Whatever you prefer.  Once you have subscribed, if you want to pause (or, heaven forbid, cancel!) your subscription, just do it before the 10th of the month because Paper Pumpkin starts shipping out around the middle of the month.

You can order extras for gifts! On the prepaid kits, you will receive an email from Stampin’ Up! telling you have to set up and activate your account with a special code.

If you prefer, there is still the monthly subscription HERE.

Either way, I think you will really enjoy the thrill of getting that Paper Pumpkin box in your mail every month!  And who doesn’t need some “happy mail” once a month!

Save $5 on a 3-Month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription

Click for more information!

Don’t forget the Stampin’ Up! Weekly Deals for this week and always check the Clearance Rack! And for every $50 you spend with Stampin’ Up! through March 31, 2016 you will get to choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration product! (Some products are only available until February 15th and then a few new products will be introduced!)

Save $5 on a 3-Month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription
During Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration, you can save $5 on a 3-month Prepaid Subscription to Paper Pumpkin, the papercrafting kit that comes in your mailbox once a month! AND you will qualify for a free Sale-A-Bration item! You can order JUST the prepaid subscription (although you will have to pay $6.95 shipping for your free Sale-A-Bration item) or add it to any Stampin’ Up! order. Even if you are doing the monthly subscription, if you want to get credit toward Hostess Dollars on your Stampin’ Up! order, you can purchase the prepaid subscription and your monthly subscription will continue after your prepaid is used up. Trust me, it works somehow! I should remember to do it that way more often myself!

The great news is that if you order one or more prepaid subscriptions today or tomorrow (by Jan. 10th) you will receive the January kit! The 10th of the month is the date to remember if you want to pause or cancel or START your Paper Pumpkin subscription. You can still sign up after the 10th and receive the next month’s kit.  Even if you have never stamped, you will find all the materials you need in the kit, including a clear block on which to mount the stamps in your very first kit.

Read all about Paper Pumpkin here or email me with questions. The kit is not always cards, but it is always a surprise each month and something to look forward to in your mailbox besides bills and junk mail! The December 2015 kit was a calendar on a little stand, which I intend to turn into a small photo album at the end of the year. Other kits have been cards, gift boxes, framed art, holiday treat bags, gift bags, etc. You can keep the stamp set and ink spot to use over and over, and sometimes you might have extra supplies to use on other projects. Follow the directions for the project (and watch the video!) or make your own version!

Put Paper Pumpkin on your Stampin’ Up! Order today (or tomorrow!) to receive the January kit!

 

Paper Pumpkin December 2015 Kit Calendar

Paper Pumpkin December 2015 Kit Calendar in Stand

I received my December 2015 Paper Pumpkin Kit in the mail before Christmas and finally got around to making it!  I knew it was a calendar so I knew I better get it made! As cute as it is as a calendar, I don’t really need a calendar like this, so I looked for alternate ideas, which you can do with any of the Paper Pumpkin kits. I actually found a great idea on the Stampin’ Up! Blog HERE, to make the pages into a photo album rather than a calendar.  I can choose a photo for every month as the year goes along. For this project, I turned the calendar pages sideways rather than vertical as designed in the kit. And actually I can still have it sitting out as a decorative calendar for 2016 and make it into an album at the end of the year!

It was fun putting this calendar together and doing some stamping! Stampin’ Up! always provides a video showing how to assemble the project and all materials you need (except maybe glue and scissors) plus the instructions. With your first kit, you receive a clear block for mounting the photopolymer stamps that come in the kit. So each Paper Pumpkin kit has a set of stamps, an ink spot, and all the supplies to make the papercrafting project!

Here are the months for the calendar.

Paper Pumpkin December 2015 Kit Calendar

Paper Pumpkin December 2015 Kit Calendar

The Paper Pumpkin Kits are getting so popular that the refills for this kit sold out very quickly. To avoid seeing something you like but being unable to purchase it, you should become a Paper Pumpkin subscriber yourself! You can subscribe by the month, or you can add a subscription to your Stampin’ Up! order.

Stampin’ Up! will be offering a special on a 3-Month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription starting January 5th, when Sale-A-Bration starts! Instead of paying $59.85 for a 3-month subscription, you will only pay $55. And when you spend over $50, you instantly qualify for a FREE Sale-A-Bration item, just by purchasing the prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription for 3 months!

Do something special for yourself and get a Paper Pumpkin Kit! You will look forward to that red box showing up in your mailbox each month! Put a prepaid subscription on your Stampin’ Up! order between January 5-10 so that you receive the January kit!

Paper Pumpkin Box

I love getting mail and I especially love getting my Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! in the mail every month, so if you need a quick Christmas gift for someone, just give them a subscription to Paper Pumpkin! It’s a papercrafting kit that comes in the mail! Every month is a new surprise and comes with all the materials you need except perhaps adhesive and scissors. You receive a set of stamps, an ink spot and all the materials for the project. Sometimes there are even leftovers you can use another time.  Follow the directions or do your own thing! Paper Pumpkin is good for anyone and I would even hazard a guess that someone who never crafts would even enjoy it.  It might surprise you! And maybe YOU deserve a subscription for a little crafting time every month after all the time you have put in making everyone else’s Christmas a happy one!

Tree Punch Christmas Tree Tag

Leave a reply

Tree Punch Christmas Tree Tag

Here is my Tree Punch Christmas Tree Tag, a sample tag I had made for our tag-making day last weekend.  The designer paper I used is retired, from last year I think, a paper stack called Festival of Prints. This was a sample to see if I liked the tree so it didn’t matter what I used. Of course you can use any paper or stamped card stock. I also had cut out circles of Gold Glimmer Paper to use as layers instead of the designer paper and that looked really pretty too – just didn’t take any photos. The tag base is Cherry Cobbler (because I was out of Real Red, if you can believe it!) The stars are stamped in Crushed Curry ink from the To You and Yours Too Stamp Set. This is the stamp set that coordinates with the To You & Yours Shaker Card Kit.

To make the tree, just punch two trees with the Tree Punch and either cut off the tree trunks and add one you cut yourself from a sliver of a scrap or leave the bottom one on.  Fold the trees in half lengthwise, open, then using the Stampin’ Up! cute Handheld Stapler, staple in the center longways on the fold.  This will hold the trees together but allow them to be separated and fluffed up to look 3D.  I guess no reason you couldn’t staple three trees together for more oomph!  Punch a hole in the top and string ribbon through for a tag or use it for an ornament!

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Monthly Papercrafting Kit

It’s time to remind you about Paper Pumpkin!  The 10th of the month is always the date to be signed up by to receive that month’s kit. Sign up today or tomorrow and get the December kit in the mail around mid-month. Order extras and give as a gift or give it to yourself as a gift for all you are doing for everyone else right now in this busy season! Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription from Stampin’ Up! with a surprise inside that comes in the mail.  Each month is a new papercrafting/stamping kit complete with all the supplies for the project except for basic adhesive and scissors (if even needed). You receive a set of photopolymer stamps, a small ink spot, and all the supplies for the project.  It might be cards or gift boxes or a mini album or a decor piece or party favor or candy holder — it’s always a surprise! Paper Pumpkin has gotten tons better since it started so if you tried it way back when, you really need to try again and see how it has improved.  Lots more stuff!!  Make the project the way it is designed or do it your own way. No obligation, stop when you need to or just pause your subscription for a month or two.

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Monthly Papercrafting Kit

Click for more information or to join!

Stampin’ Up! offers monthly papercrafting kits called Paper Pumpkin that come to you in the mail!  Everything is included in the kit (stamps, ink, paper, and accessories) to create the surprise project. Past kits have included cards, mini album, framed piece, treat bags, gift boxes, and more! Every month is a surprise and a treat for you!

Treat yourself to a little bit of crafting time that you don’t even have to think about! Last summer we had a lot of trouble with our electricity going off and one Sunday it was off all day with 90+ degree temperatures outside. After lunch I got out my recent Paper Pumpkin Kit to assemble and it was great! No designing of a project, no jumping up and down to get my supplies, no thinking outside the box (no pun intended).  It was all right there, no need to exert myself in the un-airconditioned heat.  I could just work and take my mind off the extreme heat! Stamping is something you can do with no electricity, unlike many other things!

With the first kit, you will also receive a clear block on which to mount the stamps each month that come in the kit.  You can use these stamps in the future, not just with the kit.  Sometimes kits have leftover supplies that you can use another time. You can follow the directions that come with the kit or strike out on your own doing your own thing. Do a little of both. That’s what I sometimes do.

Stampin’ Up! always provides a link to a video that you can watch for each month’s kit if you would like a little more visual guidance.  Here is the one for these really cute treat bags that could be used for Halloween or for fall or Thanksgiving.

The important thing to know is that to receive this month’s kit (November) you need to sign up by November 10th.  After that, the kits start being shipped out so that they are received about mid-month.  You will be thrilled to find the Paper Pumpkin red box in your mailbox! If you sign up after the 10th, you will start with the next month’s kit.

Each month is just $19.95 which includes shipping. If you prefer, you can also add Prepaid subscriptions to your regular Stampin’ Up! order.  You can also give these as gifts.  Change the quantity of your order any month or even pause your subscription if you choose.  If Paper Pumpkin is not for you, just cancel.  No risk, no obligation.

Last Day! Stamp Out Breast Cancer with Paper Pumpkin

Leave a reply

Mint Macaron Bra Card

This is another fun bra card to remind you that today, October 10, is the last day to order the October Paper Pumpkin Kit in order to help stamp out breast cancer with Stampin’ Up!

Paper Pumpkin is the monthly papercrafting kit that comes to you in the mail from Stampin’ Up! There is a surprise project in the box each month for you to make with all supplies included (except for some adhesive and scissors). You get a stamp set, an ink spot, a clear block to mount your stamps in your very first kit, and all the paper and embellishments you need, sometimes with supplies left over to use another time! It’s not always cards, but it’s always a surprise!  And there is always a video you can watch in addition to instructions in the kit.

Stamp Out Breast Cancer with Paper Pumpkin

To show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re going PINK . . . or at least our October boxes are! And because we know our subscribers want to share the love too, we will be making a donation on their behalf to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

Stampin’ Up! will donate:
$1 for every active Paper Pumpkin subscriber.
Plus, an additional $1 for every new subscriber.
Together, we will make a difference!

Here’s how you can help:

Subscribe! If you’re new to Paper Pumpkin, click here to get started. Your first kit will arrive in a limited-edition pink box that you’ll want to hold onto forever-and we’ll donate $2 because you’re new!
Stay active if you’re a subscriber so we can donate $1 for you. Only those who receive the October shipment will be counted for the donation.
Remember, those who get the October kit will not only be donating to a good cause, but they will also get a one-time only, pretty pink Paper Pumpkin box! No one will want to miss it. Promise.

More About BCRF

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) advances the world’s most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. Founded by Evelyn H. Lauder in 1993, BCRF has raised more than $550 million to fuel discoveries in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, survivorship and metastasis, making it one of the largest non-governmental funders of breast cancer research in the world. This year BCRF has invested $58.6 million in research, to support over 235 researchers at leading medical institutions across six continents, including $11.6 million to the international Evelyn H. Lauder Founder’s Fund focused on metastasis. By spending 91 cents of every dollar on research and public awareness programs, BCRF remains one of the nation’s most fiscally responsible nonprofits. BCRF is the only breast cancer organization with an “A+” from CharityWatch, and has been awarded Charity Navigator’s highest rating of four stars 13 times since 2002. For more information, please visit: www.bcrfcure.org.
Mini spoiler alert! The October project inside the pink box is just as awesome as always, but we should probably let you know that it is not a pink project. That’s all we’re saying. 😉

Paper Pumpkin Pink Boxes

Join Paper Pumpkin today and get the special October Kit in the pink box and help others while you stamp! If you like it, keep getting your subscription each month. If it is not for you, no risk, no obligation, just pause or cancel by the 10th of any month.  You will not be billed until your kit ships each month.

How to Make a Bra Card

Leave a reply

Stampin' Up! Bra Card

Today I am going to give you some ideas on how to make a Bra Card! This is an idea from a long time ago and I haven’t seen it recently. I thought it might be fun to bring up the idea again with it being October and Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

To make the card base, fold paper in half and place Heart Framelit Die (I used the second largest die). The Heart Framelit Die is retired now but if you already own it you can use it or at least it will give you the idea! You can make your own heart shape just out of paper and trace around it. Anyway, leave the fold at the top untouched so that the card will open.

Bra Card Big Shot

Next, cut a similar piece just out of one layer of card stock which will become the actual bra piece or at least the template if you want to keep it to make more.

Bra Card Template

Bra Card Template Cut out

With this piece, I folded it in half and then contoured it just freehand with my scissors in the bra shape I wanted.  Nothing scientific about this, you know they come in lots of shapes so you can make it wide or narrow or straight or rounded, however you want.  I used this piece for a template to cut out the pink card stock.

On the pink card stock, I stamped with Versamark the flourish from Everything Eleanor and then embossed with Stampin’ White Embossing Powder  and the Heat Tool to look lacy.  And I added a bit of Venetian Crochet Trim for a bit of lace.  For the straps, I just cut two thin scraps.  For the necklace, I drew on a silver chain with a Sharpie and added a Rhinestone Jewel.

You can make these bra cards with designer paper or plain card stock blinged up with rhinestones or pearls or embossing, both heat and with the Big Shot folders or with stamping a design.  So many creative choices!  Glue it on a larger card if you prefer!

Stampin’ Up! is helping in the fight against breast cancer by donating to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF.org) for each Paper Pumpkin subscription.

Stampin’ Up! will donate $1 for every active Paper Pumpkin subscriber by October 10th

plus, an additional $1 for every new subscriber.

Stampin’ Up! will donate $1 for every Paper Pumpkin subscriber and an extra $1 for each NEW subscriber before October 10th to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). You can help a worthy cause while you have fun stamping! The October Paper Pumpkin Kit will come to you in a pink box rather than red. That is why you need to subscribe by October 10th so you receive this special pink box.

BCRF is a world-class organization dedicated to ending breast cancer, and we are excited to be teaming up with them to make this happen. Their mission is to advance the world’s most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. For more information:  bcrfcure.org

Paper Pumpkin is just $19.95 a month and that includes shipping!  You will receive everything you need to make the project with the possible exception of adhesive and scissors. With your first kit you receive a clear block on which to mount the stamps that come in each kit. No risk, no obligation to continue for any amount of time. Only those “active” subscriptions will be counted in the donations so make sure your subscription is not “paused” for October.

  • Mini spoiler alert! The October project inside the pink box is just as awesome as always, but we should probably let you know that it is not a pink project. That’s all we’re saying. 😉

JOIN PAPER PUMPKIN TODAY! It’s a gift for yourself and others!
