APRIL PAPER PUMPKIN
What an awesome kit this is! April 2016 Paper Pumpkin is called “Lovely Little Wreath", and it makes this gorgeous Wreath Home Decor. The kit came with a BONUS FREE STAMP SET! As a gift for 1,000,000 Paper Pumpkin kits, Stampin Up gave us a bonus free stamp set this month called "All About Everything"! I love the stamp set so much. I made the wreath that came in the kit, and alternate card out of left over supplies AND an additional card design from the new Celebrate Everything stamp set. I've also included a sneak peek at May's Paper Pumpkin kit. Be sure to sign up before May 10.Tuesday’s Stampin Scoop Show – Episode 7 – Top 10 Retiring List Must Haves

THE STAMPIN SCOOP SHOW - APRIL 12


April 11 Weekly Recap: The week in Youtube and Periscope
Weekly Deals began to help reduce overstocked inventory. As we’ve reduced excess inventory, the variety of products available for Weekly Deals has decreased, making the deals less exciting, so we’re replacing Weekly Deals with a less frequent but better promotion called Special Offers. These Special Offers will occur every few months as inventory allows (the goal is still to reduce overstocked inventory) with more products and discount tiers than Weekly Deals

ROSE WONDER CARD
This is a very cool card made with the Rose Garden created by my friend Liz Miller. I love it when we have "happy accidents", and that's how Liz invented this cool looking technique with the white spots. Here's how she created this cool technique: I die cut the rose first then adhered to the card stock layer with the fine tip glue pen. Once set, I used a sponge dauber to color the flower. Then brushed the wink of Stella over the color. The strange white marks are the dried glue from where I slightly moved the die cut or had excess on my fingers.VIDEO: How to make a Sunset using the Masking Technique
