April My Paper Pumpkin!

The new My Paper Pumpkin kit arrived in my mailbox today! I love getting boxes in the mail but I usually know what is coming because it is something I have ordered and that is exciting enough, but to get a box and have no idea what is in it, takes me back to being a kid and ripping open Christmas presents. So if you have yet to get your April kit in the mail and don't want the surprise spoiled, stop reading now. If you want to see what this months kit looks like, scroll down.

Here is the box. It was still not the pretty orange box that will soon be coming

but it was packaged very nice. Everything was wrapped in tissue with 

a pretty paper pumpkin sticker sealing it shut.

I had to laugh when I opened this because the largest stamp in it (this one contains 3 stamps)

says "seriously" and that happens to be quite a popular phrase in our house. The papers in this kit 

were very cute and I love the stamps in it. It also included buttons, twine, and envelopes. I have not put the cards together yet but will post them as soon as I do. 

If you don't want to miss out on May's My paper pumpkin kit, sign up today to have your 

own surprise delivered directly to your door. Make sure to put me as your demonstrator and I will send you an extra gift! 

Card bouquet

Here is one of the items I used for auction at the quarter auction I participated in this past weekend. It was a card bouquet with 6 handmade cards, an aluminum garden stake made with the big shot and blossom punch, and a free card class for 5 people.  This item did pretty well at the auction and I am planning to make more :)

Easter cross card

This is one of the cards we made at Friday nights Spring Card class. 

I case'd this card from a couple different cards actually.  I got the idea for the cross using the gorgeous flower trim in the spring catalog from here. It looks as though she overlapped her flowers in the middle but I cut two strips of three flowers to make a "t" then added another flower to the top so my cross was a tad flatter. Not that these flowers are flat at all! The card design itself came from another Late Night Stampers blog Lisa Kmiec. Hers has beautiful butterflies on it and I can guarantee an almost exact case will be coming as well. I love that card. 

If you wish to purchase any products used on any of my cards you can order online 24/7
