![]() My Pumpkin Challenge #0414 - Special Moments had led me to dig back into this month's awesome kit Glittered Greetings - especially after a shopper told me my "congrats" section in the sale boxes was a little thin, lol... Don't have to tell me twice! By now, you should have had a chance to peruse the retired lists {SOB}, and maybe you also noticed that we're losing the Off The Grid stamp. Sucha bummer - I had only JUST broken down and gotten it, too - in fact, it was my redemption from collecting those "Best Of" sets last year. {SOB again - I've been robbed!} So, it seemed fitting to use it today, to dress up the cool card bases that came in the pumpkin. I love it! I'll have to trot it out as much as I can til June 1! Paper Pumpkin-Glittered Greetings; plus, Off The Grid Stamp Set; Calypso Coral CS; Circles Collection & Starburst Framelits; Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder. ![]() There's still time to sign up for our remaining Heartfelt Banner Class on Saturday, April 26, at 10 am.

![]() Wow, the latest Paper Pumpkin kit, "Glittered Greetings," is really awesome! There's so much STUFF in this kit - enough for eight very fancy (glittered!) cards! Perfect for this month's challenge - My Pumpkin Challenge #0414 - Special Moments. That said, I of course had to cut some of these gorgeous supplies up, and add a bit more color pop, lol. However awesome the basic projects are, I guess I just don't get to do those! I love how this came out - I see more glittered words in my future! To add that sparkle to my "congrats," I brushed a thin layer of Modge Podge over the word base, and used a thin strip of paper to clean out extra glue from any tight spaces. I then dunked in my gold glitter tub, and snapped off the excess (which didn't stop me from wearing a snazzy sparkly accessory on my forehead for the rest of the day, sorry...) and adhered to my card with glue dots from the Pumpkin kit. Paper Pumpkin - Glittered Greetings; plus, Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral CS; Gold Glitter. ![]() I love the simple elegance of this week's Clean & Simple #285, and I was thrilled when I saw In{k}spire Me #140 to complement it! I decided this was definitely the time to finally ink up my lovely little paper lanterns - I have been dying to use this set for so long. It seems really plain to me, but with just enough color pop to carry it off - I really love the final result! Here's my confession: I totally only used the corner rounder punch so I could make the supply list a little bit longer, lol... Good thing it looks just right! (One last hint - I also "stamped off" first on the lantern globes to mute the color just a tiny bit!) Happy Congratulations Stamp Set; Crumb Cake, Crisp Cantaloupe & Whisper White CS; Crumb Cake, Strawberry Slush & Crisp Cantaloupe Inks; Corner Rounder Punch. ![]() So, have you seen the new Paper Pumpkin kit In The Bag? So cute! It inspired this month's new theme at My Pumpkin Challenge #0314 - Fun With Circles & Bags! Now the timing for me is pretty awesome - I'm off next week to my sister's wedding, and I need a gift bag! So, I went pretty simple with this one, and only dressed up the stamp colors a bit... This sturdy bag will be perfect for the plane ride home she'll be facing, especially when she sees how well-stocked with goodies it is! Can't wait to see you run "circles" around me! Paper Pumpkin - In The Bag; Tangerine Tango & Smoky Slate Inks. ![]() For my last Wahoo My Pumpkin Challenge #1013, I decided I wanted to sneak in another owl - but something a bit bigger than the punch! I wanted him to be snazzily dressed, too - so out came the embossing folders! I really like the encouragement of the Wahoo sentiments - so fun! I think we could all use a little extra Wahoo in our lives! Make sure to get your pumpkin on - I can't wait to see your ideas! Paper Pumpkin - Wahoo; plus, Old Olive, Cajun Craze & Very Vanilla CS; Cajun Craze ink; Woodgrain, Lacy Brocade & Square Lattice embossing folders; Ovals Collection framelits; Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain; Corner Rounder Punch. ![]() Woo hoo - it's that time of year again! I'll be setting up a "Handmade by Heather" booth at Mountainview Presbyterian's 23rd Annual Holiday Gift & Mission Marketplace - I hope to see you there! Hope I'm right in front of the cinnamon rolls again, lol! Come for the food, come for the fun, come for the fabulous shopping - they bring it all in one place, with style and love! This year's Boutique is Friday, Nov 22, 9 am to 5 pm, and Saturday, Nov 23, 9 am to 3 pm. Come get your cinnamon rolls for Thanksgiving! (Click on the picture for a printable flyer!) ![]() OK, I feel like a total cheater this week, but hey, Fab Friday #29 was TOTALLY screaming "PUMPKIN" to me! Throw in some texture and dimension for My Pumpkin Challenge's #1013, and we are on fire! I'm sure it's the little chevron shapes that are doing it, but this sketch really could have been specifically FOR Paper Pumpkin, it's actually not that different from the suggested project, lol! And yes, I handcut the Cajun Craze layer behind the file folder layer to follow the curves - held my breath the whole time! So, what's in YOUR pumpkin today?? Paper Pumpkin Kit - Wahoo; plus, Old Olive, Whisper White & Cajun Craze CS; Chevron embossing folder. ![]() Stampin' Up! is celebrating its 25th anniversary all year long, but during the week of the actual date (October 25th to be exact) they thought they should pump up the party even more. So what better way than a sale on the very products that started it all: stamps, of course! For one week only (sale ends October 28!) all the stamps on this flyer are 25% off - a great boost for getting those hard to choose from sets! Click on the flyer for the full 3-page list! ![]() As soon as I saw this angle on this week's Retro Sketch #83, I totally knew I was trotting into the guest room (otherwise known as the Restful Home for Retired Stamps, lol) to retrieve last Sal-A-Bration's Patterned Occasions - this sketch just screamed "jeans!" to me! I think the sentiment is a teeny bit on the small size for the card, but I heat-embossed it to give it a bit more pop, at least. I am ridiculously pleased with this card! Patterned Occasions (SAB 2013-retired) stamp set; Marina Mist CS; Midnight Muse & Whisper White Craft inks; White Embossing Powder; Square Lattice Embossing Folder; Essentials & Festive Piercing Templates; White Uniball Gel Pen; Neutrals Candy Dots. ![]() For this week's Paper Craft Crew #61, I wanted to brighten things up - so out came the Quatrefancy! So fun to play with the little pieces and bits that make up this sketch - how many accessories can I cram onto a card while still keeping it fairly clean, lol?? Today is the day we find out! Hope you can join us this week - can't wait to see what you come up with! Oh, Hello & Yippee-Skippee stamp sets; Whisper White CS; Daffodil Delight, Strawberry Slush, Pumpkin Pie, Pool Party, & Island Indigo inks; Quatrefancy Specialty DSP; Apothecary Accents & Ovals Collection framelits; Occasions Piercing Pack; Pumpkin Pie 1/4" Grosgrain; Brights & Subtles Buttons; Boutique Details Embellishments. ![]() And here's a quick shout-out for the October "Best Of" set - Best of Christmas! Look at these cuties! I think most of us actually have the originals of most of these, lol... Anyway, same awesome deal - 4 stamps, one brand new and exclusive to this set, for $14.95. AND, another collectable sticker under your belt for that free set! Click on the picture for the full flyer! ![]() Oh my gosh, this month's Paper Pumpkin kit has the cutest sentiments in it - who doesn't need a little Wahoo! in their lives?? In honor of that, My Pumpkin Challenge #1013 had TWO options - owls and texture! It was hard not to think of owls when we saw that phrase, lol. Now, I don't have much "owl stuff," but I do have the punch, so here's my crack at an "owl" card - can't wait to bring out the textures next rounds! Hope you can join us - looking forward to YOUR creations! September 2013 Paper Pumpkin-Wahoo; plus, Gorgeous Grunge stamp set; Whisper White, Midnight Muse, Old Olive & Cajun Craze CS; Old Olive & Cajun Craze inks; Owl Builder punch. ![]() This week's Clean & Simple #258 was a toughie for me, I don't mind saying! Mostly because I knew I did NOT want to use flowers, as shown in sketch - perverse, I know! I finally realized that maybe I could sub in the mosaic shape, which opened up that whole suite to me, too tempting not to try! I think it's prettier and sparklier in person, but hm, something does look odd about that block of DSP, sigh... Sweet Essentials & Mosaic Madness stamp sets; Whisper White , Pool Party & Strawberry Slush CS; Strawberry Slush, Pool Party & Daffodil Delight inks; Quatrefancy Specialty DSP; Modern Mosaic embossing folder; Mosaic & Corner Rounder punches; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. |
