Label Me Pretty Fig Flowers Birthday

How can you not love a stamp set called Label Me Pretty?  This fun new set can be bought by itself starting June 1 or you can save money and buy the Bundle which includes the stamp set and coordinating punch.  How sweet is that?

We combined the Label Me Pretty Bundle with a bunch of new accessories and the floral background image from the Wood Words Set (another awesome set) to make this pretty birthday card in my Club Classes this month.  Wouldn't getting this card help you to have a lovely birthday?

  Uses Label Me Pretty Clear-Mount Stamp Set and Wood Words Clear-Mount Stamp Set plus Fresh Fig Cardstock, Very Vanilla Cardstock, Blushing Bride Cardstock, Fresh Fig Classic Stampin' Pad, Blushing Bride Classic Stampin' Pad, Subtles Collection Stampin' Write Markers (Blushing Bride), Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack, 2017-2019 In Color Bitty Bows, Fresh Fig 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon, Sponge Brayers, SNAIL Adhesive, Tear & Tape Adhesive, Paper Snips, Stampin' Trimmer, Pretty Label Punch, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Standard Cutting Pads, Magnetic Platform, Big Shot Platform, Layering Ovals Framelits Dies, Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies, Clear Block D, Clear Block H, and Clear Block I.

Here is a link to the directions for the Label Me Pretty Fig Flowers Birthday

Tip - When you first get your Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies, be very careful removing them from the sticky tape on the thin cardboard in the center of the package.  I found that heating the adhesive a bit with the lowest setting on my Heat Tool made it easier to remove the thinlits without bending them.

Paper Pumpkin A Sara Thing Ideas

The April 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit was specially designed by Sara Douglass, the CEO of Stampin' Up!, and featured watercolor pencils and fun acrylic flower embellishments to make beautiful cards.  I made three of the cards as intended.

The only supplies I had to provide were some water in a small container (an old button container worked great), a paper towel, a couple of Clear Blocks (I used A and B), a Heat Tool to speed up the drying on some of the watercolor pieces, and some SNAIL to adhere some of the pieces in place.  I could have used the many Glue Dots provided in the kit, but SNAIL was faster!

Then, I used the leftover pieces to create a few cards of my own design.  I mailed a few of the cards in padded envelopes along with some small products gifts, so I didn't need all the envelopes provided in the kit.  So, I cut some of them up to use the liners on the inside of the envelopes as background paper on the cards.  The only extra supplies are the ones listed above and the Stampin' Trimmer to cut up the envelopes.

When you are ready to join Paper Pumpkin and start getting these great creativity kits in the mail, just click on this link - Sign Me Up for Paper Pumpkin.  Then, read all about Paper Pumpkin and sign up by clicking on the Join Here link at the bottom of the page.  Fill in all the required fields (including a credit card to be billed each month around the 10th of the month for $19.95 each month) and follow the prompts.  If you follow the link above, it should automatically assign me as your Demonstrator.  If it does ask you to choose a Demonstrator, please be sure to choose me - Michele Reynolds in Maryland.  Make sure you spell my first name with only one "l"!

Or, consider purchasing a Pre-Paid Paper Pumpkin Subscription.

What are the advantages to a Pre-Paid Subscription?

• No worries about a credit card number being changed and having a kit canceled as a result.
• Subscription purchases can be placed on a Club Order through me so they count towards Club Minimums.
• Subscription purchases can be placed on a regular order through me or online so they count towards earning Stampin' Rewards.
• Purchase a 6-Month or 12-Month Subscription and you save a few dollars each month! 
• Give a subscription as a gift!  It makes a great present for someone you love or ask for one as a gift for yourself!

- 3-Month Subscription, item # 137859, $59.00 (shipping is included)

- 6-Month Subscription, item # 137860, $114.00 (shipping is included), save $1 per month

- 12-Month Subscription, item # 137861, $215.00 (shipping is included), save $2 per month
