Lip Balm Gifts

 Come Shop local today at Independence Uptown Market 9-1pm.  I have Lip Balms for Valentine’s Day and these adorable Sweet Bugs for all occasions!

It may be hard to see the little accents on these lip balms.  There is a tiny Die that cuts a Butterfly, Snail and Dragonfly.    You can see a Flirty Flamingo Butterfly on the Lily of the Valley above.

On the back I added a yellow butterfly and a snail!  There are also small berries!  How cute!

Here are some of the Valentine lip balms.  Bears hugging Hearts, Honey and Bears!  Hershey candy, Burts Bees, Bluey and Strawberry Shortcake lip balms available.

More Sweet Bugs!

 I’m obsessed with this paper and colors!  Such Spring and Picnic vibes.  I’ll have a stack of these cards at the Independence Uptown Market on Saturday 2/7.

I was experimenting with the embossing folder and so far have used White and Poppy Parade card stock.  I cut down the Postage Die with the Sentiment and added to the card front.  

I had a leftover Lily of the Valley and added that to a lip balm holder.  The remaining scrap, I colored the ladybugs with a Blend marker and attached to the back of the Lip Balm.  

Come see me Saturday and pick up catalogs, shop for Valentines and All Occasions!

Valentine Scraps

 I posted some small gift bags last week and for every bag you get 2 small squares of paper.  This Valentine paper is so versatile I was able to make 2 cards!  Bubble Bath card base, Flirty Flamingo and Real Red frame these squares.

The Valentine Kisses bundle has such cute little accents of Bears, Honey, Flowers and Hearts.  

I embossed the 1st panel with Hearts of Love embossing folder.  And then added these elements to each square.

Valentine Lip Balms

 I knew this Bear from Valentine Kisses bundle needed to hug some Lip Balm.  So many options with Flowers, honey, hearts and this Baby Bear!

I put a Bear on the front and back of the holder.  So many cute combos.

The Bears are too fluffy to fit in a Treat Tube so need to search for different packaging for the Market 2/7.  The Lip Balms are Strawberry Shortcake and Bluey.

The Holder is 3 x 3 3/4.  Score long side at 3/4.  Turn and score at 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4 and 3.  Fold on score lines, Cut notches and glue side and ends.  Perfect tube for a lip balm.  Decorate accordingly.

Special Delivery

 I have to admit, I was not sure about this January Pumpkin kit.  But once I opened the kit and made each card as pictured I loved the Vintage look.  The Poppy Parade ink spot added that punch of color to bring all the elements together.  

All of these cards could be used for Birthday, Get Well and other occasions!  

I will make some alternative cards for the Blog later this week.  Find and follow Paper Pumpkin on Facebook for alternatives, unboxing videos and endless inspiration!
 

After I use all the kit elements the stamp set is put in a clear envelope with the included stamp sheet.  This helps you not miss place a stamp!  Photopolymer stamps stain from Black or Red inks.  Do not despair as your stamps will not transfer this ink stain.

Each kit comes with an instruction sheet and finished cards to see the product. 

You must be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to purchase Past kits and refills.  Past kits usually update to my website on the 21st of the Month.  Refills are available for this kit for subscribers.  $13.50.  Refills do not include the stamp set and ink spot.  168631 is the item number.

Paper Pumpkin stamps

 Today I combined the January Paper Pumpkin kit stamps with the Valentine paper.  I will share the cards from the kit tomorrow.  I was finishing up Valentines and wanted to showcase this little Stamp set.  These stamp sets coordinate with all the regular Stampin’ Up products.  Past Paper Pumpkin kits and refills are available to Paper Pumpkin Subscribers while supplies last.

I did add one of the Floral Stamps from the kit on this card.  Flirty Flamingo card base.

On this card I had to add a Bear!  This could be an Anniversary card!  I leave the inside blank so you can write a message.

Happy Valentine's Day

 I follow a comedian One Funny Mother Dena Blizzard and belong to her ONline Facebook group.  A Teacher in the group was participating in "Hearts around the United States" and asked for a Valentine from every state be sent to her 3rd and 4th Grade class.  I put a card in the mail right away!  And yesterday they sent me a card!  So fun and My Heart is bursting with all the Love shared across the States.  This group is such a Blessing to ALL of us who listen to the Morning Lives, Tipsy Tuesdays and Cooking with Di.  

This school is in New Jersey and this Teacher is doing great things!!  I hope you all have a Great day showing your LOVE for the Special people in your life and the everyday people you encounter along the way.  We all need Love, Love Sweet Love!!

Hearts for You

 

I finally cracked open my Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin kit to make cards for the Market this Saturday Feb. 1st 9-1pm.  I made a couple cards as pictured and then the Alternatives took over my Brain!  I love how inspiration comes when I dive into one of the Paper Pumpkin kits!  Refills are available for this kit, but you must be a subscriber to purchase Refills.

This first card is pretty much made as pictured in the kit.  I did use a Retired sentiment.

I cut the Kit Card base in half and embossed with a Retired Folder.  Layered on a White card base and used Kit embellishments to finish.

A Real Red card base with a Kit card base layer, Hearts from the Kit and a Retired Sentiment.

Can you tell I LOVE this Red Kit card base,  It is like a NUETRAL, it goes with everything!  More Kit Hearts and some Retired paper scraps.

Last picture but I made 10 More cards with this Kit and still have elements left to make more!  This Refill is a Bargain!  Kit refills are great to use with stamps you have in your Craft room!  You have INK and Stamps in your Craft room so don't be afraid to buy a REFILL.

166240  Hearts for You REFILL  $12.00     You MUST be a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber to purchase Refills.

More new products coming tomorrow.  You can SHOP NOW!!!  If you want the new catalogs, email me and I will Snail mail them to you!!  kswanson46@comcast.net
