A Ginger Snap! Paper Pumpkin Cards!

It was so much fun to create the cards from the August Paper Pumpkin Kit! 

Paper Pumpkin August - all

In addition to having all the supplies to create these cards, there are enough supplies left to create at least 4 more cards using just a bit of my supplies.

Mini cards & Envies

So often when I give a gift, I wish I had a cute gift card.  My wish has been granted with these cards.  Aren't the envelopes cute?  In addition, I made 4 full size cards with envelopes.

Thanks & Hello

The envelopes are shown in the first picture.

Congrats & Smile

A Ginger Snap! PPA 217 Sketch Challenge Using New Product!

The wait is finally over!  The Holiday Catalog is now available and I am highlighting product from page 41 of the new Holiday Catalog.

It's time for another sketch challenge for PPA.  Thanks Nicole Watt for providing us with this sketch.

For All Things rt2

Because layer 3 is so large, I chose to use the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper.  It provides some visual interest & a nice variety of colors.  However, it was too bright for my card so I  sponged  soft suede ink on the edges.  For layers 1 & 2, I used Crushed Curry & Cajun Craze Cardstock.  Layer 4 – the circle, is Mossy Meadow Cardstock.

 

For All Things left2

In order to continue the fall theme, I used the leaf from the stamp set For All Things.  Sponge daubers were used to add Crushed Curry & Cajun Craze ink to the leaf stamp..  The edge of the leaf was then rolled in Mossy Meadow ink.

Both leaves were then popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Linen Thread was tied in a bow on the  Gold Basic Metal Button .  This was then added to the bottom of the leaves.  The sentiment was created with 2 stamps from the stamp set For All Things and the banner was fussy cut and popped up near the bottom of the card.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

STAMPIN' UP! SUPPLIES USED:

A Ginger Snap! Special Delivery!

 UPS delivered a very special package to me today.

UPS envelope

Knowing that this package was scheduled to arrive in August, I was definitely on the outlook for it.  Guess what is inside.

Kraft Envelope

 It was exciting to open the package and find a nicely decorated envelope.  Stampin' Up! sure knows how to present a package!  Any guesses about the contents?

Just had to show you the cute closure.  Did you make a guess?  Let's see if you are correct.

Contents of Envelope

Woohoo!  The envelope contains stuff for the Washington D.C. Getaway Trip that I earned from Stampin' Up!  They think of everything.  Name tags, luggage tags, Washington D.C. fold out maps, an agenda.  All I need is the plane tickets!

And, they were also in the packet!  Guess I am all set for the trip.  Now I am just waiting for Stampin' Up! to deposit money in my checking account to cover per diem.  Did you know that money to cover meals is included in the trip.
