CARD CLASS

Today's video card making class is a combination of the Stampin Up Rooted in Nature stamp set and the April 2020 "My Wonderful Family" Paper Pumpkin kit.

For Those You Love Most: My Wonderful Family At Paper Pumpkin, we believe in making a difference—especially when it comes to helping our subscribers build relationships through papercrafting. For April, we created a fun, family appreciation themed card kit that would make it easy for you to share your hearts with those they love most: mom, dad, daughter, son, sister, and brother. April’s kit even includes Mother’s Day and Father’s Day sentiments, giving you the perfect way to show your appreciation for beloved parents on their special days with a beautiful, handmade card. One more thing about this “fam-tastic” kit: The Paper Pumpkin team knows that everyone’s clan is unique. With that in mind, we provided sentiments that would include anyone in your life who feels like family; for instance, “brothers” and “sisters” who have helped you along the journey of life.

VIDEO: How to make a Pop Up Camera Card

POP-UP CAMERA CARD

In this online class video I'll share how to make this super cool pop-up camera card. I used the Capture the Good Stamp Set that I designed with Stampin Up. This is an easy card to make, and will surely bring a "smile" to it's recipient. You don't need to be or love a photographer to give this card to someone. It's perfect for those teens that love selfies and snap chat too. I made this a birthday card using the words from the Well Written Dies. The dies have a variety of words that you could sub and make this card great for other occasions such as: thanks, wedding, miss you and best wishes. The photo of the Word Wishes dies showed them backwards so I flipped it so you can read all of the words you can use.

Wahooo!!!! Popular back-ordered products are back in stock!

BACK IN STOCK

As many of you know a few of the favorite dies had gone on back order for a long time due to the Covid-19 crisis mfg/shipping delays. Great news! Many have just arrived back in stock (while they last). I've received many inquiries about these products and when they'd be back. Especially after doing the Garden Arbor Pop Up card video last week, everyone was after the Garden Gateway dies. I'm so happy to let you know you can now order them, and the entire bundle again. Note if the dies are on back order, the entire bundle will say it is too but usually they stamp set is still available. You just aren't able to purchase it as a bundle. I can't promised these aren't going to sell out again quickly due to demand, and I don't know if any of these are being retired on next week's reveal. If any were retiring and they sell out, it could mean they won't come back at all.
