May Thank You
Today I'm sharing another project using the Turtle Friends bundle. This is the card that was sent out to customers that placed an order or subscribed to Paper Pumpkin during the month of May. I'm sure there's no such thing as pink turtles, and definitely not pink turtles with cheetah-print shells. But, I still think she's pretty cute. The shell is from our pattern paper and glued right on top of the stamped shell. Paper piecing is a fun idea … [Read more...] about May Thank You
June Paper Pumpkin-Expressions in Color
Well, I have to say, Stampin Up released another fabulous Paper Pumpkin kit. June's kit, Expressions in Color, is so very pretty. Plus June's kit came with two different ink colors! This kit makes nine cards, three of each design. I purchased a couple extra June kits so if you missed out getting this one, just let me know and I'll set one aside for you. If you'd like to have the kits sent directly to you, you can sign up for a … [Read more...] about June Paper Pumpkin-Expressions in Color
Do You Die Cut?
I love the way our stamped images look cut out, but I don't always love to cut them out with scissors. Hand cutting it with scissors can take so much time. One of my favorite tools that I use ALL the time is our die cut machine. And even better, we have two different machines to choose from. We have our full size machine, perfect for die cutting, embossing, etc. And, we have a brand new Mini machine. The Mini machine looks just like the … [Read more...] about Do You Die Cut?
Treat Yourself!
Yesterday was the first day of Summer! I love warm Summer days. Here in SoCal, our June is usually pretty mild since we're within ten miles of the coast. Then it gets progressively hotter July through October. Still, there's something just so free-ing about Summer. I can't wait to sit out on my patio and relax on a warm Summer evening. Plus Summer is the perfect excuse for cold treats like ice cream and popsicles. How many popsicles are too … [Read more...] about Treat Yourself!

Turtle Friends
I just can’t resist a cute critter. Every time a new catalog comes out, I tell myself I don’t need more animal stamps. Yet, here we are. I’m the new owner of Turtle Friends. Today’s card keeps the spotlight on this adorable critter. I used Soft Succulent ink and stamped it on the matching color card stock. I tried a couple other greens, but I think this color is my favorite. It really turned out to be a great color for this little guy. I … [Read more...] about Turtle Friends
June Sampler: Good Vibes
Surf's up! School is out for the year and in SoCal that means it's time to hit the beach. There's nothing quite like the relaxation of sitting on the beach with nothing to do and nowhere to be. Cold drink in hand and toes in the sand. Won't you join me at the beach? Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out every month seasonally. Several customers have used them in … [Read more...] about June Sampler: Good Vibes
