Bloomin' Bouquet Project Kit

Mother's Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There's no watering, no weeding-just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.
As if that weren't enough, the kit contains a "baker's dozen"! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along! How fun it would be to give it to someone you wouldn't normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you'd like to give a little "thank you" to!

Item #134542

Seriously, It's Paper Pumpkin Time

April is Paper Pumpkin month #2 for those of you who signed up before March 10th. This month we received our first kit with unknown contents and I must say I do like the printed card bases, coordinating designer series paper, heavy-weight stickers and embellishments that are included in the kits. The "Seriously" kit contains 3 stamps and a Cherry Cobbler ink spot.

This is the first card I made (following the directions)...

For card #2 I pulled out the Basic Gray ink spot from the Welcome Kit and used fewer elements...

As long as you have the Welcome Kit out, why not use the stamps too?...

Here, I cut the center out of one sticker and I think it looks like a paperclip...

If you would like to join in the fun of having a kit delivered to your door once a month head over to My Paper Pumpkin to sign up
If you subscribe by May 10th, you will receive the Welcome Kit in May and then the June Kit. Really, really wish you had signed up earlier and gotten the Seriously Kit? I happen to have an extra one so just give me a call!

There is still time for you to enter to win a Stampin' Up! trip to San Diego! What are you waiting for? Enter Here
(Under the box with my name in it and the number of you who have entered there is a line that says "Not Carla? Click here")

Happy Stamping!

It's New Catty and Retiring List Day!

Demonstrators are able to view the 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! Catalog online today. But guess what? I have one in my hands! Those of us who were fortunate enough to have gotten to attend the Riverton, UT Regional event last Saturday received them at the end of a very special day. We also got to shop for our pre-order products and bring them home with us!!! It was the perfect ending to a fun-filled, inspirational day. Now, while I can't post the catalog here yet, I can show you a few of the products we used on our make & takes.

This card features 2 of the 8 stamps in the Remembering Your Birthday Set, fabulous Designer Series Paper Stacks, and... do you see it? I used a Deco Labels Collection Framelit embossed with the new Modern Mosaic folder.

Stars!!! There are 4 stamps in the Simply Stars set and the sentiment is another from the Remembering Your Birthday set. The ending to 'I remembered and thought...' is 'but then I forgot happy belated birthday'. I will make good use of that set!

Now, while I will be showing you more from the new catalog soon, you can't order from it until May 31st (unless you decide you like the perks of being a demonstrator and join me) so... in the meantime... here is the list of retiring items for you. Retiring stamp sets will be available to order through June 3rd BUT - this is important! - ALL other retiring items are available only while supplies last!!!

Couple of highlights in the retiring accessories list:

• Scented Embossing Powders--40% off
• All Fabric--40% off (entire line being discontinued)
• Lots of Big Shot dies and several punches--25% off
• Almost all the Designer Series Papers--25% off
• All Simply Scrappin' Kits
• All Color Refresh retiring colors and products
• large selection of Big Shot accessories and folders retiring

Want to be able to pre-order from the new catalog and get sneak-peeks with me? Now is a great time to join the Stampin' Up! family. For just $99 you can choose ANY products you would like up to a $155 value (normally $125) and it all comes to you with FREE shipping! There are so many other benefits of being a demonstrator and absolutely NO pressure - you do as much or as little as you would like. There is a monthly quarterly minimum if you would like to continue but that is totally up to you. Let's talk! I would love to have you join my team.

It's an Epic Day!

I am so excited to be attending the Stampin' Up! Regional Event today! Where am I? With 399 other demonstrators at the Home Office in Riverton, UT!!! It promises to be an Epic Day filled with fun surprises and fantastic demonstrations featuring new products coming to you soon.

These are my swap cards.

Paper Pumpkin Jots & Thoughts

As I wait for my April Paper Pumpkin to arrive I thought I would share with you what I did with the Paper Pumpkin Try It Kit. The kit is called Jots & Thoughts and contains all you need,  journals, 2 stamps, ink, clear block, baker's twine, and butterfly stickers to complete 2 journals which are the perfect size for your purse.
For the first journal I followed the instructions...

On the second journal, I pulled out some Indigo Island and Gumball Green cardstock,

These journals may be small in size but they are perfect to slip into your purse, keep in the car or next to your computer.

You can purchase the Try It Kit anytime and any month you sign-up for the Paper Pumpkin subscription by the 10th of that month, you will receive your surprise kit in the mail soon after! Check back to see what I get this month and what I do with it!

This is what comes in the Try It Kit:
