My Wonderful Family Paper Pumpkin kit

Hello!  This is the Paper Pumpkin kit for April of 2020; the name is My Wonderful Family.  I had a blast assembling the card kits for everyone in club and hope that my cards inspire my club members to "think outside of the Paper Pumpkin box"!  LOL!  For everyone in my club who sends a picture of their finished card they will get their name in the drawing to win a prize.  They will either get the new Pear Pizzazz stampin' spot/stamp set from the kit OR they will get the Ladybug hostess stamp set from the SAB catalog.  I hope that lots of cards come rolling in because I can't wait to share some inspiration with you!

Happy stamping!

I am working on all of my club projects as well as quizzing kids for homeschool.  AND...we are heading to town at some point to go get pics at the park for Christmas cards.  Busy, busy, busy!

Merry and Bright Stamp Camp Card #4

My daughter was fascinated with my snow globe shaker card.  I do plan to purchase the foam adhesive strips because I had to make due with the edges of a sheet of dimensionals and I was not satisfied with the height.  This card background involved sponging and use of the whisper white craft pad with daubers.  Fun!

Happy stamping!
