May Paper Pumpkin - Batter Up

 May Paper Pumpkin

Two ways





All images © Stampin’ Up!

This is just what I needed- some masculine cards with a baseball theme.  I absolutely do not have anything like this is my stash of stamping goodies, yet I do have men in my life that love baseball.  These make the perfect birthday card or any occasion card for them.  I love using the Paper Pumpkin kits as a starting point for my creative projects.  They give me inspiration as well as some items that I may not have thought to have in my stamping supplies.

I was wrong and I admit it.  It isn't the first time and won't be the last.  I did not think I would like Paper Pumpkin so I neglected to try it and neglected to tell you all about it.  I'm sorry about that now.  I have had so much fun with my little mini 3 month subscription that I have now gotten a 12 month subscription.  This little box of self-contained fun has been awesome.  There are just some days that I don't have the creativity going or don't want to even try to design something, but these projects come with everything you need in one fun-filled box.  And even better, once i see the projects pre-designed for us, I can then just pull stuff off my work surface and create something as different or as similar as I want.  Wow!  Who knew being wrong could be so fun!  And knowing that I can skip a month or more whenever I want, by suspending my subscription makes the subscription so much more appealing.


COMING SOON:
June Paper Pumpkin cards.  And I’m looking forward to June Paper Pumpkin.  It looks so pretty.

Beauty of Friendship Simply

Beauty of Friendship
Simple and Easy


All images © Stampin’ Up!

Today, I've done something I've never done before even as a beginer stamper.  I am simply stamping.  No layers, no designer series paper, no ribbon, no die cuts, no embellishments.  Just stamps, ink, paper.  Wow,  what a concept!  Oh, and everytime I said Early Espresso, I actually meant to say Soft Suede.  Oops!  Sorry.

I've chosen the Beauty of Friendship stamp set for this endeavor, because it has tree images, and trees are among my favorite things.  The sight of trees just makes me happy.  So, I hope you enjoy this simple card that simply says what it means.  

REMINDER:  This month only, First Time subscribers can try Paper Pumpkin for only $5.  Offer ends TODAY.  Use this link with Promo Code HOMERUN0521
