![]() So, here's my latest tag-tastic creation for this month's My Pumpkin Challenge #0514 - Tags Everywhere! One of the things I like to do with tags is use them for really cute bookmarks. I knew I wanted to do something like that here, but combine it with a little pocket card for holding the bookmark in place. This way, you can still add a sentiment BEHIND the bookmark or whatever, so it really does function as a card! Mine says, "Stay Calm and Be Awesome," from the Show & Tell Photopolymer sets... So pumpkin says, "Hey, your TAG is showing!" Let's have a peek! Paper Pumpkin - Glittered Greetings & Framed Love; plus, Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral & Pear Pizzazz CS; This & That Epic Day DSP; Calypso Coral & Pear Pizzazz Inks; 1/4" Circle Punch; Neutrals Brads Collection; Ruffled Ribbon in Calypso Coral (retired). Pop Up Class May 31! ![]() Are you sad you missed our Pop-Up Card Class? Of course you are! But there's still time to fit it in - one more chance! We'll be making 4 cards, that all fold flat and fit in standard envelopes, but pop up and out to yummy goodness on the inside! We'll be doing "portrait" and "landscape" cards both, for a little variety, and one card will be all about our new In Colors, so you'll have some samples right away, to go with your amazing new catalog that will be waiting here for you! I can't wait for you to try these cards - you'll be stunned at how fun they are to deck out! Class is still on for Saturday, May 31, 10 am (please note time change!), chez Heroldt, with snacks and drinks as usual, of course, still for $20! RSVP today to make sure I have your supplies cut and waiting for you!

![]() Time for another installment of this month's My Pumpkin Challenge #0514 - Tags Everywhere! Here's how I "stepped up" from last's week's edition! I decided to go bigger - for a really special package, or maybe a little love letter on the back, you never know! I hand-cut this overall tag shape to get to the size I wanted, so it's still a basic angled tag shape. I also tried my hand at stamping on ribbon for this one - the Pear Pizzazz ink I tried the first time really didn't show as much as I wanted, so I went with Calypso Coral. And lastly, heat-embossing on DSP was also new to me, but I wanted the color to be really saturated for some extra pop! Enjoy! Paper Pumpkin-Framed Love; plus, Pool Party & Crumb Cake CS; Calypso Coral & Versamark Inks; Pool Party Embossing Powder; Decorative Dots Embossing Folder; Natural Trim Ribbon; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. Pop Up Card Class May 15, 19 & 31! ![]() Don't forget - for our Pop-Up Card Class, we'll be making 4 cards, that all fold flat and fit in standard envelopes, but pop up and out to yummy goodness on the inside! We'll be doing "portrait" and "landscape" cards both, for a little variety, and one card (this one!) will be all about our new In Colors, so you'll have some samples right away, to go with your amazing new catalog that will be waiting here for you! I can't wait for you to try these cards - you'll be stunned at how fun they are to deck out! I'll keep posting the other samples - keep checking back! So, class is announced for Thursday, May 15, 6:30 pm, chez Heroldt, with snacks and drinks as usual, of course, still for $20! RSVP today to make sure I have your supplies cut and waiting for you! I have also now added a day class for Monday, May19 at 10 AM, and a Saturday class for May 31, 2 pm. Just sing out if you prefer either of those days! ![]() OK, was this month's Pumpkin Kit not COMPLETELY adorable?? I love it so much - and perfect timing with Mother's Day this weekend! The adorable-ness of the kit itself aside, yay for this month's My Pumpkin Challenge #0514 - Tags Everywhere! For my first offering in this challenge, I decided to do a simple step-up of the handy tags provided in the kit - a set of 8 die-cut angled top tags in white. To add just a little bit more, I layered them on some extra coordinating cardstock, dimensioned part of the stamped image and color-swapped, and added some coordinating ribbon. This cute little set of four is going straight into my car's glove box for adding to the end-of-year teacher appreciation gifts I know I'll be picking up and delivering soon. There's even JUST enough room for a short message on the tag - perfect! Paper Pumpkin Framed Love Kit; plus, Coastal Cabana & Pear Pizzazz CS; 1/4" Hole Punch; 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon in Pear Pizzazz; Stretch Ruffle Trim in Coastal Cabana. ![]() It's that time again - one last chance to create for My Pumpkin Challenge #0414 - Special Moments! Can't wait to see what you have! For my final inspiration, I'll freely admit - I totally stole an idea from NEXT month's My Paper Pumpkin, Framed Love. Did you get yours yet? OMG, it's completely adorable! Can't wait to start that challenge! So, since I'm all distracted by that new red box sitting on my desk, I decided to cheat a little bit, and do a take-off from that. Sh, don't tell on me! This was actually easier to put together than usual, thanks to the advent of photopolymer in the Pumpkin - no Stamp-A-Ma-Jig required this time - can't believe I was able to "free-hand" this one! So, how'd you dress your pumpkin this week? We wanna see! Paper Pumpkin - Glittered Greetings & Wahoo; plus, Pear Pizzazz, Calypso Coral & Whisper White CS; Pear Pizzazz & Calypso Coral Inks; Bitty Banners & Ovals Collection Famelits; Occasions Piercing Template; Subtles Candy Dots in Pear Pizzazz & Calypso Coral. ![]() 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.

Bonus! This week it was a serious time challenge, too. "Honey, I'm leaving for a meeting in 15 minutes, and I need something to put this gift in for a referral I got!" Sigh. Paper Pumpkin to the rescue! I knew I wanted use one of the "thank yous" from this month's kit, Glittered Greetings, and I knew I wanted to use on of my bags still remaining from "In The Bag." That only left details. What to do for the tag base? An already stamped dahlia I found in that stamp set pretty much set the rest! Hope she likes yellow! Fastest fussy cut in the West! And for the record, 10 minutes flat for the whole shebang! Go, me! Paper Pumpkin kits used: Glittered Greetings & In The Bag; plus, Regarding Dahlias Stamp Set; Circles Collection Framelits; Daffodil Delight Ink; 1/8" Circle Punch. ![]() There's still time to sign up for our Heartfelt Banner Class!

See you soon! ![]() Thank goodness I still have My Pumpkin Challenge #0414 - Special Moments to work on - is it volunteer appreciation time for all of you, too? This month's Paper Pumpkin "Glittered Greetings" is fitting right in as well! Today I made up some ca-UTE little tags for the Tag A Bag Gift Boxes I'll be using for my little tokens! It was a lot of fun dressing up the boxes, too - I decided to try embossing the sleeve to see what would happen. I had to reposition the embossing folder a few times, but I picked one I'd be able to see fairly easily for alignment, and I felt like the chevron really went well with the stamp from the kit. For the box itself, I heat-embossed that stamp all the way around the edge - photopolymer made lining up a snap! No Stamp-A-Ma-Jig required! Paper Pumpkin - Glittered Greetings; plus, Tag A Bag Gift Box; Chevron Embossing Folder; Versamark; Pool Party Embossing Powder; Chalk Talk Framelits; Stretch Ruffle Trim in Coastal Cabana. ![]() 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. ![]() Still time to squeeze in one last project for this month's My Pumpkin Challenge #0314 - Fun With Circles & Bags! We've been having a slightly sad week here Chez Heroldt - it's tough to come back from Spring Break and jump on the grind again! So, I put together some little treat bags to cheer up my little grouch while we got back to work - who says jelly beans can't cure everything! The basic idea for folding the awesome Tag A Bag Treat Bags came from my favorite Make & Take from Convention this year - how cool is it to convert that flat bag into a pleated one? Here's a link to a quick video of how to do that, and here's a picture of that original project! Paper Pumpkin - In The Bag & Seriously; plus, Tag A Bag Gift Bags; Baked Brown Sugar, Bermuda Bay & Summer Starfruit Inks; Scallop Tag Topper & Corner Rounder Punches; Whisper White CS. ![]() Time for more Circles at My Pumpkin Challenge #0314 - Circles & Bags! I decided to go for another card - back to bags next week! I REALLY love this color combo, of Bermuda Bay, Baked Brown Sugar and Summer Starfruit - surprisingly cheery! So quick to put together, too, with all the pieces that come in this kit - add some color flashes, and you're all set! That's what the Pumpkin is all about! Hope you can link up with us this week - can't wait to see what you've come up with! Paper Pumpkin - In The Bag; plus, Houndstooth Embossing Folder; Summer Starfruit Ink. ![]() And don't forget - there's still time to RSVP for our March 20 Topiary Class! 6:30 pm, $25, all supplies ready and waiting for you - just bring your hot glue gun!
