Wahoo My Paper Pumpkin Kit Part 2

As I mentioned on Monday These are the second set of cards I created using my October My Paper Pumpkin Kit. 

I love to take the supplies they give us and cut all the cards in half. Cutting a 1/4" off the top and side of the card gives you a nice frame to mount on a 4-1/4"X5-1/2" piece of card stock. This makes the kit stretch a lot further. 

My cards below are fairly similar. First I started by putting the Washi tape directly onto the brown paper. I didn't think the tape looked quite right.

So for my next card I put the tape on a strip of whisper white card stock and then adhered it to my card. Looking better.

Also for this card, I ran out of the white file folders from the kit. So, I figured out how to replicate it using the Envelope Punch Board. On monday I will give you a photo tutorial on how to make the folder. It really is quite simple.

For my next card I wanted to see what it would like if the washi tape had a border on the left and right side. I was happy with it but still liked the card above better. 

In an attempt to make a masculine card I got rid of the butterflies and added some twine and a button from the kit. What do you think, masculine enough?

Wahoo My Paper Pumpkin Kit Part 1

Before we get to my cards today I just wanted to inform you I am going to try to post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I hope by telling you this you won't be frustrated when I don't post on the other days of the week.

Last week I got together with my mother and sister to Scrap and Skype and we decided to create with the Wahoo Kit we received back in October. As usual I like to make at least one card the way it was intended but then create some cards out of the box.

Since we are creating months after the kit was sent to us there were some great ideas pinned on Pinterest. Below are cards I cased from others. Wednesday I will share with you the cards I made with the other half of the kit.

Upcoming Christmas Classes

I think I can finally breath again. I have submitted my final exam and essay for my class. With all the stress from my class I have gotten sick but I am hoping I can recover quickly. 

I have a few classes coming up and I would love for you to join me. 

All classes will be held in my home in Calgary's SE community of New Brighton. Please Contact me to register and arrange payment by November 24, 2013. I need to make sure I order enough supplies for the class.

If you don't have time to attend the classes but would still like to purchase the cards or gift boxes from me, let me know. I can certainly make the cards up for you.

Also, if you love the class but want to do the class with a group of friends let me know and we can arrange a date for me to do a private class with you and your friends.

I absolutely love this book! I wish Stampin' Up would come up with the same kit in all different theme's, Birthday, Christmas, Haloween!!! I would love to make this book over and over again. As I said in my first blog post about this class not only did this make a wonderful scrapbook I still have lots of supplies left over to make some cards. I hope to get up in my craft room soon so I can make some cards with my left over supplies.

Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit Scrapbook Round 2

Welcome back and thank you for joining me. Here are four more pages we will be making in my upcoming class on October 27, 2013 1:00pm, at my house in SE community of New Brighton, Calgary Alberta. The cost is $30.00

A great feature of this book is all the pages (with Crushed Curry Stripes) come out so you can journal about the moment in your photo, or the person in the photo. For the photos you just have to get them developed as wallet sized and they will fit perfectly into your book.

Also, don't forget about my Open House this weekend and my Funky Fold Friday Exploding Kite class first Friday in September.

Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit Scrapbook

When I seen this kit in the Holiday Catalogue I thought, Oh that's nice, but I don't do place settings for Thanksgiving. This kit never made it onto my must have list until convention. At Convention Sarah Douglas did a demonstration on how to make the table settings and then showed us an alternative project we could make with the kit, A Scrapbook!!!!! Who would have ever guessed!!!!

The only thing you have to add to this kit in order to make the scrapbook is adhesive, and the metal rings. You can add the use of a stampset (or you can just use the chalk marker and hand write). I also added two Naturals buttons to one of my pages but it was not necessary.

There is so much in this kit I now have extra designer series paper and twine to make some cards with!!!

Thank you Sarah for your inspiration. I completely CASED a few of her pages and the rest are all my own design. I will share with you 1/3 of the pages today and the other 2/3's over the next two days.

I will be holding a class for this project October 27, 2013 at 1:00pm, at my house in SE community New Brighton, Calgary Alberta. The cost is $30.00

Deadline to register is Thursday October 10, 2013. Payment is required to hold your spot. To register I will accept, Cash, e-mail money transfer or Pay Pal. Contact me to register.

Also, don't forget about my Open House this weekend and my Funky Fold Friday Exploding Kite class.
