Welcome Home Gift Bag

   

Happy Monday! I have a glitzy gift bag to share with you today. It's gorgeous, gold, and glimmery! I love it! I made this bag, with a gift card inside, for my mom who moved into a new house this weekend. My mom's favorite color is purple so of course I used only purple inks (all of which are retiring ones). I also used the retiring Home Life Bundle.

Retiring colors used for today's project:

Helpful Tips:

• I die cut the house in gold foil and Elegant Eggplant. I offset the two houses slightly and layered them together using fast fuse.
• I punched out two gold glimmer leaves using the leaf punch. I layered the leaves and a quarter of a delicate white doily behind the sentiment and popped the layer up with dimensionals. 
• The banner sentiment was stamped in Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum. "Welcome" was stamped directly onto the bag using Wisteria Wonder.
• I finished the bag with a few Perfect Plum enamel shapes and some shreddie inside.

Got a couple of pictures with my mom after we got everything all moved into the house. It was definitely time for a coffee break! Luckily, there was a Starbucks a mile up the road...thank goodness because the Keurig was somewhere packed away in a box.

Eclectic You're Just Lovely

 

Happy Thursday! Today's project is gorgeous! I am so so in love with the Oh So Eclectic Bundle! It is definitely one of my favorites in the current annual catalog and I'm so very happy to say it is carrying over into the new catalog, YAY!

I made these stunning cards for a swap I did and I had a difficult time sending the swaps. I was so happy with how they turned out I wanted to keep them, lol! But, sharing is caring, right?

Watch the VIDEO to see how easy these cards are to create!

Here's to Celebrating You

Happy Tuesday! I'm excited to share today's project with you! I just love the color combo so much. Last week my teams color challenge was to use Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, and Night of Navy. Such fun colors together. I decided to use one of my favorite stamp sets from the occasions catalog, Perennial Birthday.

Helpful Tips:

• Stamp the single flower image on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock in Flirty Flamingo ink. Punch the flower images out using the 1" circle punch. Pop the images up using dimensionals to add some depth.
• Wrap bakers twine around your card stock layers several times. Tie the twine in a bow.

Petal Palette March Customer Cards & Gifts

Happy Monday! I'm so excited to share my March customer cards and gifts with you today. Each month I create a handmade card to send to everyone who shopped with me or subscribed to Paper Pumpkin with me the previous month. Along with the card, I include a thank you gift. It means so much to me that you choose me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator and this is one way that I show my appreciation.

This month I made these gorgeous cards featuring the Petal Palette Bundle. I used my favorite retiring In Color- Peekaboo Peach. Aren't the cards stunning! The Petal Passion Designer Series Paper (retiring also) is amazing! I will definitely miss the classic look of these black and white designs.

Watch the VIDEO tutorial for step by step instructions to create these cards.

Anyone who placed an order in my Online Store during March receives a gift in the mail from me. For March orders less than $75 you receive a decorated mini envelope with 8 Petal Passion Embellishments inside. For orders greater than $75 (placed using the hostess code) you receive the March free gift, Garden Trellis Embossing Folder. This folder was on back-order for a few weeks so some will receive the comparable Petal Burst Embossing Folder.

Thank you so much to everyone who shopped with me during the month of March. I appreciate each of you more than you know! I will be working diligently to get these all packaged up and sent to the post by this evening. Have a marvelous Monday and stop by tomorrow for more project inspiration.

I had to wake up super early this morning to take my car in to the dealership for regular maintenance. I decided to unbox my new Stampin' Up! tumbler I received at OnStage last weekend! Stampin' Up! sure spoils their demonstrators! I received this mug as a special gift at CenterStage, a leadership event for demonstrators who are Silver Elite and above. 

I love that my Stampin' Up! business can travel with me. I packed up my laptop, the new catty, my OnStage notebook and pen. Got some work done while I got my car all taken care of. I sure do love my job!
