Shop Pumpkin Spice...it's out of this world!

  Yummy Bazzill card stock (what?! NO patterned paper?)...ever since I first discovered Bazzill card stock (circa 2004), I was in love with the woven texture.  Since then Bazzill now has smooth, embossed, and every delicious color imaginable.

  I embossed the smooth green Bazzill with my Cuttlebug "Houndstooth" embossing folder; the pattern reminds me of computerized patterns like those square QR codes in magazines or newspapers.  Perfect for an alien, right?  My die cut is from the Cricut "Life's a Party" cartridge.


  My supplies came from the My Pink Stamper "Yankee Doodles" kit:

•  yellow dot embossed Bazzill
•  textured blue Bazzill card stock
•  the stars background are from the "Yankee Doodles" stamp set (part of the cute rocket)
•  My Pink Stamper hybrid blue ink pad

and from the My Pink Stamper "Birthday Doodles" kit:

•  smooth green Bazzill card stock 
• textured purple Bazzill card stock

I also used a My Pink Stamper "Buggy Punnies" sentiment and Glossy Accents.  My Pink Stamper kits are sold exclusively at Shop Pumpkin Spice and have free priority shipping!  I shop at Pumpkin Spice for all my My Pink Stamper stamp sets, papers, and other supplies.  Denine ships super fast and her prices are always the best I have seen on the internet.  If you ever have a question, email Denine for superior customer service.

Celebrate! Fit for a king...

  What is that saying about the cobbler's children having no shoes?  Earlier this month I worked so hard making Father's Day cards to sell for the coffee shop but I didn't make Father's Day cards for my dh, my dad, and my f-i-l...

  I wanted to make a card "fit for a king", and I needed it quick, so I started perusing my monthly ShopPumpkinSpice kits.

  This is my sixth card that has emerged from my May Shop Pumpkin Spice kit!  It is soooooo yummy.  The My Mind's Eye Indie Chic brads, 6x6 Indie Chic "Nutmeg" papers, coordinating dot embossed blue Bazzill cards stock, and the Danish blue ribbon are all in the kit.  My sentiment is from My Pink Stamper "Birthday Crazy."

Happy Thursday!

My Pink Stamper - Yankee Doodles

  All of the My Pink Stamper designers are having a blast (I had to get a pun in) using the new "Yankee Doodles" stamp set and kit.

  Seriously cute set, wanna see?

I absolutely adore that little rocket!

I just had to use him, 

as well as the Happy Birthday sentiment

(I masked "America", 

but inked "Happy Birthday".)

  The kit works well with Cricut cuts too.  I used the "Life's a Party"cartridge for my card base and for the flaming BLAST.  The blue embossed star was fussy cut after embossing the blue Bazzill card stock with my Cuttlebug "Stars" embossing folder.

  Everything you need to craft is in the My Pink Stamper kit:  Yankee Doodles stamp set, a great selection of Bazzill card stock, hybrid ink pad, ProMarkers, white card stock, acrylic block with easy finger holds AND etched horizontal lines and a vertical line for easy lining up:

Six pretty ProMarkers and perfectly coordinated card stock; love that!

There are more cute projects and inspiration at My Pink Stamper.  I am also entering my shape card in this week's "Stars & Stripes" challenge at SOS (Shopping Our Stash.)

Mele Kalikimaka

  For National Scrapbook Day I won Echo Park's "Paradise Beach" collection.  I have been eager to cut into it, and today I had the *perfect* opportunity!

  My dear friend, Lauren Bergold (...all the good blog names were taken...), has made several tropical-themed cards that inspire me.  Lauren also has a challenge blog with the lovely Stef (aka Smylin' Stef) called Jingle Belles Rock.  Lauren set the challenge this week:  Mele Kalikimaka (now you will be singing that in your head all day; you're welcome!)

  All I needed was a great sketch, and I found one at the Paper Players:

  I am a fan of Nance and Lesley's creations at the Paper Players.  This is a Lesley sketch...thanks for the inspiration, Lesley!

  I embossed the Echo Park paper and added some Imaginisce gems and a My Pink Stamper "Biggie Christmas" sentiment.  Easy peasy.

Happy Monday!

Sailing Away...

    Sailing away...I have completed my six month DT term with Artful Delight.  This has been a wonderful experience working with Leeanne & Debbie and their truly delightful monthly kits.  This is definitely not goodbye, though!  I really enjoy the monthly sketch challenges in addition to the kits.  The new Artful Delight DT has oodles of talent and I will be stalking the Artful Delight blog for inspiration and to play along with the LO & card sketch challenges.  My sailboat card was created entirely from the papers in the June kit; even the stick pin is from the kit!  The July kit reveal will be posted tomorrow on the Artful Delight blog.  You should probably pre-order it tomorrow because the kits sell quickly.

  My card inspiration came from my lovely blog friend, Julie M.  Her blog is called "Oh Well..."; I really enjoy reading her posts and I am personally in awe of her masculine card-making abilities!  And if I ever get to Ireland, I will plan to meet her in person.  Love her :)  Check out Julie's inspiring card here.

Supplies:

papers & stick pin:  June Artful Delight kit

Cricut cartridges:  Elegant Edges p.45 (card base); Designer's Calendar p.33 (sailboat)

Happy Sunday!

My Pink Stamper kits sold exclusively at Shop Pumpkin Spice

   Welcome to the Shop Pumpkin Spice monthly blog hop!  You should have arrived here from sweet Saundra's blog.  If not, please start at the beginning on the Shop Pumpkin Spice blog.

  I am entering this on the Cricut Circle blog "Stars & Stripes" challenge:  Use at least two Cricut cuts, 3 stars and stripes.  My astronaut, stars, and cloud shape are all Cricut cuts and the rocket has a striped hat (and my orange pennant is a stripe too, right?)

  Robyn, aka My Pink Stamper, now sells images stamp sets in a monthly kit that also includes card stock, acrylic blocks, hybrid ink pads, ProMarkers...everything you need to create.  The kits are sold exclusively at Shop Pumpkin Spice.  This is the second monthly kit, called "Yankee Doodles".  Check out all of this card stock, set of coordinating ProMarkers, stamp set, hybrid ink pad, and an easy finger hold acrylic block:

  That adorable rocket caught my eye!  My brain thought:  rocket, clouds, stars, astronaut, hope your birthday is a blast...which is why I also used the "Happy Birthday America" sentiment, but I masked the word "America" with a post-it note.  Robyn's stamp sets are always so versatile!  I suppose I could have done the same with the firecrackers.

The hybrid ink pads work perfectly with ProMarkers...no bleeding!

This one is called "Serendipity Skies" deep blue hybrid ink.

  Check out the "Yankee Doodles" kit here at Shop Pumpkin Spice with FREE priority shipping!  Last month the kits sold out the first day.

(Cricut cartridges:  cloud cut from "Create a Critter" cartridge;
