Welcome and thank you so much for taking time to drop by as I bare my creative soul here on my blog in an attempt to inspire others on their creative journey! I truly believe that nurturing ones continued creativity throughout life is paramount to a healthy mind and body!
I am totally in love with this upcoming product in the 2016 Occasions catty from Stampin' Up! It will be available to customers in January but as a demonstrator we get to pre-order Thursday and my upline mentor was lucky to get to the On Stage conference and got an extra early copy which we played with last night at our Product showcase team meeting and all I can say is WOW this is so going on my Christmas present to myself pre-order along with a whole whack of other things I cannot wait to show you!
In meantime here is a little sneak peek video on the Blooming Hearts Thinlits die ...
The Paper Pumpkin is an awesome treat for those who feel they need a little inspiration, have a time crunch for their paper crafting and want to invest in having some of the prep work done for them but still be able to 'hand stamp' it themselves!
Each month everything you need (aside from scissors, adhesive and the reusable acrylic block) comes for that months projects and you can complete your projects in under half an hour.
Love that you can either follow the direction to the T OR you can think outside the box and use your materials in different ways to create new projects!
The Paper Pumpkin is a great resource for the new paper crafter as well as the old who is looking for some new inspiration!

As a special perk, current Paper Pumpkin subscribers can purchase a
selection of past Paper Pumpkin Kits and refills, while supplies last.
When you fall in love with a kit, there's no need to be sad when your
supplies run out--just go grab another one (or two)! We can't guarantee
that every kit will be offered as a past kit and refill, and you should
get 'em while they're hot because they're only available while supplies
last! Check out the current selection at www.stampinup.com/paperpumpkin.
I just love this paper crafting technique ~ masking is so simple but it adds a lot of pop and layered dimensions to a card without adding 'bulk' of actual layers! Plus once you make a mask ONCE you can save it in your stamp case for future uses ~ so its only fiddly cutting the ONE time!
Have you used the masking technique? Would love to see your samples ~ feel free to post a link to your work in the comments!
