Stampin’ Up! October Paper Pumpkin and an Ordering Special!

Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all!  Before we get going – here’s some great news!  Stampin’ Up! has the Copper Foil Sheets back in stock!  Best getcha some while they last!  Here’s a link right to them in my Online Store. 🙂

So, here we are on day 3 of the Aussie Occupation.  Last week – Wednesday? – when I “met” Finn online – I started imagining life with my new dog.  We would take long walks together – he’d ride everywhere with me – we’d be a Therapy Pet team – herd some sheep – run some Agility.  I’d sit at my desk and make cards while Finn slept angelically under the table….

Whoa!  I can hear you laughing, y’all!  Was it that last thing?  The sleeping Aussie puppy?

I think it might happen – but….maybe 6 years from now!  Today?  This year?  Yea.  Not so much!  This little dude is either asleep or going 1000 miles an hour!  And there’s frequently not much warning about when that status is going to change…

Don’t get me wrong.  He’s a sweet love and I wouldn’t change getting him for anything.  But…I feel like I just brought home quadruplets!  And this morning they turned two!  For all you moms out there who still somehow manage to have a job and do something besides chase the kids….I salute you!

Today was another big day…first we watched some squirrels while chewing on our collar….

Then to the doctor for shots….

and then home for the post-vet crash.  Those shots wipe a little kid out! 🙂

So it was a busy day for both of us.  Which is why I decided to put my October Paper Pumpkin kit together for y’all today!  Paper Pumpkin is the perfect way to get a little creative break from your children – two legged with thumbs or four legged without (thank the good Lord that he doesn’t have thumbs!).  It comes with everything you need to knock out some great projects – including ink!

The October kit is a particularly good one called Season of Gratitude!  It’s got Fall leaves and wonderful sentiments.  And it makes shaker cards!

Eight cards, to be exact – you can make them vertically or horizontally, and use any of the sentiments in the Season of Gratitude stamp set that comes in the kit.

So I put them together – with the easy to follow instructions.  It’s got all the Foam Adhesive Strips and Fall-colored sequins to make lovely shaker cards.

You use the crackle image to stamp the pre-cut Cajun Craze, Delightful Dijon and Pumpkin Pie squares and they end up behind the – pre-punched- leaves in the embossed Very Vanilla panel.

And – the kit includes 8 lined envelopes – I added a Cajun Craze leaf to the front of each of them.

I ended up with 8 great thank you cards (okay, the one in the picture above will need a little remedial work!) – and I have some Baker’s Twine and sequins left over.  I think I’ll make a Vintage Leaves shaker card soon!

Consider Paper Pumpkin – it’s a nice little orange box to have sitting on the shelf just waiting for a day when all the kids and the job and the grocery shopping gets in the way of a little “me” time! 🙂
