Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Notes from the Heart

 

Welcome to our December Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop featuring alternative design ideas for the Notes from the Heart kit. 

The kit includes 3 different card designs and there are 3 cards for each design.  Also there are 9 Mossy Meadow envelopes with a white address label sticker to adhere to the envelope fronts.

This kit was a delight to open and see the lovely designs.  I was so happy with the surprise kit this month.   I love the card designs so I played with using the negative outline from the fern as a template.

I embossed a Basic White cardstock layer and then used a Sponge Dauber to apply Mossy Meadow ink.  See my photo below, with the process of my ink application.

Now I did get a little engrossed and my ink went over the edge, oops! I have an unwanted smudge.   Well as crafters we have tricks for how to cover the oopsies and this time it was embellishments!

I am very happy that these Adhesive-backed Transparent Dots hid my smudge and added a nice touch of coordination to my card, I'll list my products at the bottom of my post.

Autumn 2024 Creative Escape Flashback

Apparently I never shared photos from our Autumn 2024 Creative Escape. I posted on Facebook but never on my blog.  So let me tell you about our fun weekend!

This is the group of lovely ladies, we had a wonderful time together.

There are so many displays to share inspiration and to see products in person.

This is one of our cutely decorated surprise gifts. 

Another surprise gift so that shower time is pleasant and your hands stay soft!

The event bag has been very popular, I have heard from several people that this was their favorite bag.  The chestnut color corduroy bag was a fun change!

Homemade caramel corn is an event favorite and is expected when people attend. 

These cards are from our Friday night Speedy Stamping Bingo Class.

The optional Saturday afternoon add-on class featured these cards.

The Friday afternoon add-on class featured the adorable "More than Autumn" bundle and we made the projects below.

The 6" x 6" framed sampler is a cute project to keep or gift to a friend.

A sweet and simple Apple Cider card.

A fun and more detailed gift card holder, fancy fold card design.

And an extra special fancy fold card that was a more complex double dutch fold. The design came from Dawn Griffith, I changed the color scheme. 

 

This was such a fun card to make.  We die cut all of the pieces, used adhesive sheets on the die cut words. The Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper was a great color combo with the pumpkin theme.

Saturday evening is dessert night!  We had pies, Macarons, and a Maple bar cake - so much yumminess!

Busy crafters working hard!

Stamping station during class. 

Stamping, scrapping, and late night creating.

Projects made just the way that each person likes - fun to see other people's ideas and process!

Well that was only a portion of the photos and I hope you enjoyed my comments.  It goes by so fast and is the sweetest time together. 

I hope you will join me in January for our Winter 2025 Creative Escape!

Hello friends and "Welcome" to the December Inspired, Create, and Share Blog Hop.  We are excited to share projects tonight that feature our Last Chance Products.

So I need to clarify that all of the Bundles have a 10% discount in the September - December Mini Catalog, that discount will end January 6th.  The More than Autumn BUNDLE PRICE is all that is going away for this particular product. This adorable More than Autumn stamps and dies set will be available for much longer.  So shop now and snatch that 10% discount on the More than Autumn bundle #164076.  This is a 6" x 6" framed sampler from a class at my Autumn 2024 Creative Escape retreat.

I included the One of a Kind stamps in the Goody Bag at my Autumn 2024 Creative Escape retreat.  The One of a Kind bundle #164078,  stamps #164236, and dies #164077 are all on the Last Chance List (BOO-HOO) and only available while supplies last.   The dies are expected to be restocked around December 23rd.  We made the following 2 cards at my retreat.

I loved designing with the One of a Kind stamps and this Snowy Scenes designer series papers #164333, PomPom ribbon #164129.  Fussy cutting around the penguins was easy and they turned out adorable!

This card design was inspired by Loritamarie Crafts and shows how beautiful the stamps are for simple ink and paper card making.  I used Lost Lagoon for the large snowflake and Pool Party for the swirls and smaller snowflakes.
