Perfect Pennants is another catalog sleeper – full of great sentiments!
- Stamps:Â Perfect Pennants
- Color Palette:Â Basic Black, Basic Grey, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
- Accessories:Â 1 3/4″ circle punch, 2″ circle punch, hand-held stapler, Adventure Bound DSP, Cherry Cobbler Chevron Ribbon
The Adventure Bound DSP stack is full of gorgeous outdoor papers. They’re well suited to many circumstances but are especially useful in making Manly Cards.
And a staple is sort of tool-like, right?
Paper Pumpkin Sweet Treats
I was really, REALLY happy when I opened up my January Paper Pumpkin box:
These little gems took about 45 minutes to put together and that included filling the bags with M&M’s (one for you, one for me, two for me, one for you…)
There were 24 in the package and 3 basic designs – that pleased the Math Nerd that lives deep in my soul.
The icing on the M&M’s (so to speak) was when I was inspired to make this Berry Basket with the still-available Under the Tree Specialty DSP. Be.Still.My.Heart.
Skedaddle on over to the Online Store and stock up on that paper! You might also want to nab a couple of rolls of Festive Designer Kraft paper rolls – I did, but I’m not sharing. While you’re at it, treat yourself to a Paper Pumpkin 3 month subscription. Save $5 and add a free Sale-a-bration choice to your cart. You’ve worked hard this week – treat yourself!
Etch-a-Bird, Etch-a-Herd
I’ve seen it, you’ve seen it, we’ve all seen it – but I still had to make it:
This card is so much fun to make! It’s all over Pinterest, and I’ve seen the design credited to so many different people that I can’t trace it back to one person – and I’ve tried. If this was your concept before the rest of the universe claimed it, YOU ROCK!
I chose the Host set Hello Love for this version, as my Hostess Club requested Valentines this month.
The sentiment on the inside is from the January My Paper Pumpkin subscription kit. Purchase a 3 month subscription during Sale-a-bration and save! Current Paper Pumpkin subscribers can purchase any of the available past kits or past kit refills (first comes with stamps, second does not).
This is the version that started the stampede. From the Herd was my first choice stamp set from the Occasions 2015 catalog and it is perfect for this card. We all had a pretty good laugh over the faces on these critters. I had to resist the urge to color in a face – any face. It wouldn’t be true to the concept. But i wanted to do it.
I mean, what’s not to love?
If you want to make this card just as you see it, you’ll need From the Herd and Teeny Tiny Wishes (for Happy Valentines’ Day). You’ll need Real Red, Sahara Sand, Shimmer White, Whisper White and Vellum cardstock. This card also uses the Big Shot and the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits, a 1″ circle punch, and the Project Life Corner Rounder. The only ink you’ll use will be Memento Black.
Look through your stash and pull out your line art stamps. I’ll bet you have one that’s just perfect for this card!
Weekly Deals – Arrows point the way!
This week’s deals include the What’s Up punch – arrows are the perfect solution for tying elements together on your Project Life pages!
And if you haven’t gotten your hands on that gorgeous cotton ribbon, you have missed something special! It’s soft, with a luxurious feel, and it ties beautifully into knots or bows.

Happy Together
Imagine me and you, I do, I think about you day and night, it’s only right,
to think about the boy you love, and hold him tight, so happy together…
- Stamps:Â A Dozen Thoughts
- Color Palette:Â Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White and Chocolate Chip
- Accessories:Â Heart Border Punch, Real Red 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon, Pearl Jewels
Do you remember that song? If you can hum along with me, then you must also be looking forward to an epic high school reunion this summer! The Turtles.
The best part is that it goes on:
…if I should call you up, invest a dime…
This only makes sense if you can remember pay phones, and if you are able to remember when it was only 10 cents (for 3 minutes!) then I’ll see you at that reunion.
Happy Valentines’ Day!
It’s a RemARKable Sale-a-bration
Welcome to the February Sale-a-bration RemARKable Blog Tour! I know Valentines Day is nearly here, but I have something different in mind for you. My theme today is:
“If life give you lemons, make…a card!”
Introducing “A Happy Thing”!
With a $50 US product purchase, this stamp set is yours for free in either wood (#139131) or clear (#139134).
I used the Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blendabilities to color this image, and enjoyed the differences in each lemon – just the way you would find them in nature!
Perhaps you haven’t purchased those Blendabilities yet – no worries. Stamp the lemon on any of our yellow toned cardstock – this is Crushed Curry. This card is intentionally minimalist, as I often find myself short on cards for men. No ribbons here!
Trim it and adhere it over the base lemon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. There’s a little highlight on the Crushed Curry cardstock done with our Chalk Marker.
The entire image – leaves plus lemon – is a little fussier to cut but it won’t ruin your day if you choose to go that route. A few gold sequins from the sequin trim and some stamped dots create a little Bokeh effect.
Three cards, three different sentiments, one color palette and one gorgeous lemon. Almost as refreshing as hand-squeezed lemonade – enjoy the rest of the tour!

In my family, no one needs to be told to do this. I think it’s kind of hilarious.
