Stampin Up released the Harvest Home kit a couple months ago and I finally had a chance to start the kit. This kit makes a Fall garland that's approximately 5.5' long. You will need a hot glue gun to assemble this kit. The kit comes with dozens of leaves in about 10 colors. It also comes with a dozen acorns to sprinkle throughout the banner. After you punch out all the leaves from the sheets, you will want to fold the leaves in half to add … [Read more...] about Harvest Home Garland

September Paper Pumpkin-Fall For Toile
I know I say this every month, but September's kit is a lovely one. I'm ready for Fall. In SoCal, we don't really have leaves that turn colors but the evenings are starting to cool off. And I'm starting to see more pumpkin decorations on porches. This kit is just perfect timing.

Pop-Up Pals
One of Stampin Up's recent Online Exclusive kits is called Pop-Up Pals. This kit makes four cards, one each of the four designs. It sounds like a really limited kit but these cards are just the cutest. These cards are exactly what the title says - pop-ups! This is the inside of the gorilla card. This is the inside of the Dinosaur card. I love the flying unicorn card. And the dogs and cats! Ah, so cute! Each one of these … [Read more...] about Pop-Up Pals
August Paper Pumpkin-Farmhouse Florals
August's kit is called Farmhouse Florals. It makes nine cards, three each of three designs. The cards come with lovely floral elements that pop-off the front of the card. The stamp color included this month is Secret Sea, one of the new In Colors. This month's kit is a bit unusual that it has you stamp the sentiment on the inside of the card. I always stamp the inside before I give away the card, but usually our Paper Pumpkin kits don't … [Read more...] about August Paper Pumpkin-Farmhouse Florals
Paper Bouquet
I love our kits and I love seeing how they can be re-imagined. I bought the Paper Bouquet for my own use. I had originally planned to use it just as designed, flowers in a vase. I had this basket from a local craft store and I had no idea what I was going to do with it. Then I thought it might be fun to do something a little different with the bouquet. This basket uses about a third of the flowers in the kit so I have plenty leftover for … [Read more...] about Paper Bouquet
Virtual Album Retreat-Part 2
Happy Friday! I'm back today with Part 2 of the Virtual Album Retreat. I wanted to share my thoughts on the Retreat. As I mentioned, the Virtual Retreat took place over three days, with each "session" lasting around 8ish hours. That's about 24 hours worth of crafting and instruction. You could check in for any portion as you had time and then watch the videos in replay later. The how-to videos are lengthy because they want you to have time … [Read more...] about Virtual Album Retreat-Part 2
