I made some alternate versions using this month's kit (we received ours early at Stampin' Up! Convention). Look away now if you don't want to spoil the surprise! I needed some masculine birthday cards, and here's what I came up with:

They were very quick and easy to make, as everything is already cut out for you!

Meet Paper Pumpkin, a monthly crafting subscription kit! After years of eyeing these kits, which until now have only been available in the US market, we finally have them in Australia!

Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin and get everything you need to create handmade cards, tags, and more delivered to you each month. Plus, you'll also get access to exclusive products and a supportive crafting community. A Paper Pumpkin subscription makes a great gift, too! Treat your favourite people to a creative outlet in a box. 

Choose a pay-as-you-go plan with auto shipping so you never miss a month. Or choose a prepay plan for 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months of Paper Pumpkin kits. It's $48 per month, with shipping included. You can skip or cancel any time you choose, as long as it's by the 10th of the month.

Each box comes with all the supplies you need to make your projects, plus easy to follow step-by-step instructions. You'll get a stamp set, ink spot, card bases and envelopes, adhesives, and your first kit includes a block to use with all future kits. Crafting has never been so fun and convenient!

PLUS, as a subscriber, you can buy refills, past kits, and add-ons. And occasionally you'll find these on SALE! Check often, because products are available only while supplies last.

Notes of Spring For You

How adorable is the March Product of the Month? You can qualify for the Notes of Spring stamp set with a $125 order, and you will pay only $9 for it! It has cute little forest animals and some very useful sentiments too. The stamps are 2-step, so you can colour them quickly and easily. However, I chose to colour mine with Blends instead. I find colouring so relaxing!

I've gone with a soft and delicate colour scheme - Crumb Cake, Soft Sea Foam, and a touch of Petal Pink, Smoky Slate and Lemon Lolly. I was looking for a subtle pattern to go behind my little animals, and chose this piece from the Delicate Designs Designer Series Paper. I added a touch of glimmer with the Iridescent Foil Gems.

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Easter!

Happy (belated) Easter everyone! We had a lovely long weekend, catching up with friends and family. Do you like my basket of treats? I made a batch of rocky road filled Easter half-eggs for all the kids in our street. Of course I had to put them in a cello bag and decorate them with a cute tag. I'm sure the kids were more interested in the chocolate but the adults oohed and aahed!

Easter Basket Card Set

I'm sometimes a bit hesistant to purchase "seasonal" stamp sets, in case I won't get enough use out of them. But I could see a lot of uses outside of Easter for the Easter Basket stamp set. So, that was this week's card challenge - Easter but not Easter!

I chose some bright and cheery colours for these cards -  Granny Apple Green, Strawberry Slush, Fresh Freesia and Daffodil Delight. To add some texture to the backgrounds, I used a selection of embossing folders (listed below), and the Everyday Arches dies frame the images perfectly. The sentiments are from the Cutest Crew stamp set.

Basket For You

I'm sometimes a bit hesistant to purchase "seasonal" stamp sets, in case I won't get enough use out of them. But I could see a lot of uses outside of Easter for the Easter Basket stamp set. So, that was this week's card challenge - Easter but not Easter!

For this one, I made a stamped basket of flowers. I coloured them in with Blends (Strawberry Slush and Fresh Freesia). For the background I chose Granny Apple Green and gave it some texture with the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder. I used Blending Brushes to sponge the basket with Crumb Cake ink, and framed it using the Everyday Arches dies.
