Hello and Welcome!
Thank you for dropping in on this my first blog post!
2020 has been an unusual year to say the least, and we are all having to adapt to the challenges that are on going. It's not easy, and can be miserable if we let it get to us. No better time to lift spirits and #spreadsunshine this summer!
Stampin' Up! have made their special June 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit, inspired by CEO Sara Douglass, available to purchase globally, (usually only available in North America by subscription) while supplies last.
My mantra for life is 'Waste not - Want not', and Stampin' Up! gives me the ideal opportunity to do this with their product coordination across the range, and the Paper Pumpkin kit is no exception. You can create so much more by just adding a few items. The colours used in the kit are the same as in the catalogue colour collections. It enables me to do what I call 'Pushing the Envelope'. What's that? Well getting the very most out of everything provided in the kit, making as many things that I can.
Now these are the four samples the instructions in the kit will help you create.
The real fun with Paper Pumpkin begins when you start getting inspiration from social media with a simple #paperpumpkin search or designing your own!
The shelf card on the left I found on Pinterest designed by Stampin' Anne (here Anne Marie Hile). All others are my own ideas,
I have been playing with my kit this week and have had so many ideas and so much fun!
And still so much more to play with! I know I will be making many more projects with the remainder of the kit.
And when all the embellishments, pull aparts and stickers have been used, you still have the stamps and the ink pad to use with your other Stampin' Up stash.
Even if yellow is not your favourite colour, you will be cheered up by this beautiful Box of Sunshine!
