Stampin' Up! Mistletoe & Holly Paper Pumpkin Kit Christmas Card

Hello, my stamping friends. I decided I would organize my Paper Pumpkin Kits before the New Year. I also decided I would try to exhaust kits that were half used. Today's cards are from the November 2015 kit. I didn't have the "pinked" edge white cardstock left for the Cherry Cobbler card so I just cut a straight edge from scrap white. Most items are from the kit but I have noted in the chart where some are not. These are alternatives to what SU showed. Take a look see...

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Birthday Shaker Card

Happy Friday to you, stamping friends! My card today is a faux shaker card. Let's take a look...

 Oh my goodness...when I see what the camera sees, I am shocked! More Basic White on the left than on the right! Well, this is going to a young child and they aren't fussy...lol! I made this so long ago, that all I can remember is the paper came from the Wildflower Birthday 12" x 12" Specialty DSP and the doo dads are from the retired Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix. Rachel Tessman (Stamp Your Art Out) has a great blog on this faux shaker card.

 For the inside...

Wildflower Birthday sticker and sentiment from the retired Season of Chic stamp set was what I used. I believe the ink was Pretty in Pink.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! A Child is Born Christmas Card

Wow, I hope we don't get anymore shut ins for the rest of this year! This is my 8th and last one. It was a pleasure making them and I hope it brings joy along with a smile to our members who can't attend in person. Fortunately, we have virtual Sunday School and church on You Tube so they can watch from home or in a nursing facility.

Stampin' Up! Happiest Christmas Wishes

If you are following me every day, this is my 7th card for another church shut in. It's been great using the cut, stack and shuffle technique to do streamline assembly for the card front. The individualization was a little more time consuming.

Stampin' Up! Shepherd's Care Merry Christmas for Amy's Inkin' Krew Monthly Blog Hop

Welcome to our AIK monthly blog hop. Our theme for this month is "Celebrate" and we can  use any product we wish. I'm celebrating Christmas. The list of hoppers is at the end of my post. I hope you'll hop along. 

 

Let's take a closer look at my 6th card for one of our church shut ins. I can see the camera picked up what I couldn't see but it's already been packaged! I think I need a new cutting blade!! Or there is glue on the trough which I have tried to clean, along with the blade. It happens when someone cuts part of an already glued piece. My Cherry Cobbler ink pad was a mess too even though I had re-inked it. The recipient probably will not notice but I'm sure you and my team mates might!
