ONLINE CLASS & VIDEO: October 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Alternate Card Set & Giveaway

OCTOBER PAPER PUMPKIN KIT

In today’s live online class we’ll be making these stinkin’ cute Season’s Greetings cards. These are alternative ideas for the October Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin Kit. The first card is this gorgeous Wreath Shaker card created with the Leaf Punch. And don’t throw out those left over circles and scraps when you’re done. We’ll use those to make our 2nd card , the Snowman card. These cards were inspired by designs shared by Debbie Henderson and Dawn Olchefske.

Didn’t get the “sold Out” October Paper Pumpkin Kit? No worries, check out my list of quick substitutions below to make these fun holiday / Christmas cards without the kit.

I’ll also be sharing a cool trick you can do with the new Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers that are coming out next week. Click here for more info on these markers and how to use them from our Stampin Scoop Blends 101 video.

Live on Facebook today at noon EST. I will have Paper Pumpkin & Scrap Bin Prize Patrol (both live and “after live”). You can visit my Calendar of Events for my upcoming live schedule.

STAMPIN UP ALTERNATE PROJECTS

Here’s a few more fun projects from Stampin Up:

Directions:

The creative possibilities for this kit are off the charts. For instance, our concept artist used the exclusive stamp set plus the holiday catalog’s Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper to make a card and envelope, then added a Pool Party Cardstock banner and some Dapper Denim, Old Olive, and Pool Party ink to really make her project pop.

For the card in the center, she backed one of the designed cards with Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, embellished with a Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper border, and stamped her greeting on Basic Black Paper for a sophisticated chalkboard look.

Finally, check out her awesome stepped-up project (which made the rounds here at Stampin’ Up! and had everyone oohing and ahhing)! She simply crafted tiny boxes out of the designed paper, stacked them up, and attached a fabulous tag with Jute Twine. You could enclose small treats or gifts in the boxes, or use the entire project as a gorgeous ornament to give to a friend!
