This month's Paper Pumpkin kit was again loaded with supplies. This kit was still a challenge for me because of a few factors. First the colors are non traditional Christmas colors. Second, the focals were all one type (a house) rather than a variety of shapes. Finally, I felt a key sentiment was missing. In the end what all this meant was that I had to get creative and isn't that was crafting...
This is another great Christmas kit. I like how they made the card bases slightly larger than A2 size so you get more material out of them. Same with the envelopes. I also love the sturdy foil words which I discover a great alternative use for them, be sure to watch the video to see this fun idea. The video is a long one and the showcase is HUGE. Video Length 41 min 27 sec.
We are moved and I had a great time finishing up this month's Paper Pumpkin kit. It is loaded with die cuts, all different colors. Watch the video for more focal assembly tips as well as my more elaborate focals. I finish it off with a big showcase and some embellishments to consider using with this kit.
Wow... I mean really, Wow! Watch the video to see my reaction when I open this kit. I want to spend some quality time with all of these bits, so I published the prep with some prep tips, four basic and four focals to get the ball rolling. I will break out the kit once we get moved and will spend some quality time making backgrounds and focals of all types and will get it posted by Friday!...
This month's kit is a little bit different. I like it! This video includes an in depth demonstration of stampining and fussy cutting tips to help out a beginning stamper with limited supplies, experienced stampers may opt to go straight to the walkthrough (see time stamps). I only used colored cardstock to supplement what was included in the kit. Any number of embossing folders could also be...
I was so excited when my Paper Pumpkin arrived today. The 17th is the very earliest I recieve it. It did come later in the day so it is now 1am on the 18th and I have to be up early. I have more ideas to make for the night sky backgrounds, some masculine layouts. For today's video I decided to challenge myself with "pretty". I used glimmer and foil to help make these backgrounds more on the...
This month's kit was hard to finish. I have been thinking of upgrading my hand-me-down Samsung S7 for the latest and greatest Samsung. I use my phone for everything. I video, take photos, process photos, watch videos, and use it for phone, text etc as well. So today, oops it is now yesterday, I did it, bought an S20+.
This month's video consists of videos and photos from all three of...
Ooh, I just love the colors in this kit! I think what made it so enjoyable was that I received my new catalog pre-order two days prior to receiving this kit and I was able to use mostly new products. This means the below supplies list will be very, very light and I will go back after June 3rd to add them.
I also enjoyed spending time on a challenge Hub had given me. He mocked up a 3d...
