June Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

Pick of the Crop

Hey Guys!, Today I am doing the June Paper Pumpkin Alternatives. This month’s box is called Pick of the Crop, and I had so much fun! It’s not all the time in Life that you can be surprised every month, but you can with Paper Pumpkin! The June Paper Pumpkin is all about fresh things as can be seen flowers and fruits. This box also has a cart that is too stinkin’ cute! Of course, I have a video that I made to make both cards, so be sure and check it out! Of course when making one of the cards for the 2nd time (on video) I HAD to change it up a bit, so make sure you watch to see what I did different.

Thinking of You

June paper Pumpkin Alternatives
On my video I changed up this card, you’ll have to let me know what you think.

You’re the pick of the Crop

My second from the June Paper Pumpkin Alternatives was a fun yet subsequently a super simple card! The cart from the kit is significantly too cute not to use! But I trimmed off the awning and put Dimensionals AND Foam Adhesive strips on to give dimension.

I TOLD you the cart was stinkin’ cute!!

Are you a Discount Shopper?!

As I have previously mentioned I joined the SU! family to get the discount! But, did you know that I got so much more than a discount?! I have met some wonderful people, surprisingly learned a lot about stamping, and have been able to travel to the functions that Stampin’ Up! has! Not only do I have fun but my BEST FRIENDS are also with SU!

Of course

Telling myself when I joined that I wanted to be able to buy what I wanted from the catalogs and that I’m not in this for the money. I am happy to tell you that, at the present time with limits, I buy what I want AND get a Discount! If you would like to be creative, get a discount and have a ton of fun, then join my team: Lets Stamp! By all means, I would love to have you be a part of the SU! family!

Thank you for once again stopping by and visiting my Blog, I really hope that you will join me on my Lives on YouTube! For those watching and leaving comments, of course I have a drawing and send out the cards I made that day! For that reason I Hope you will join me sometime!

Card 2

However for my 2nd card, I wanted to highlight the Dies in the set. Indeed, I am not going to copy a REAL picture this time! Basically, I found a card on Pinterest from Tina Wardell, that inspired me. Evidently, when using the Blending Brushes, I chose three SU! colors that I thought looked like a night sky falling. Moreover, I Divided the space into 3 so I could make the Palm tree pop, check out my Pdf to see how or again watch my video.

I am sharing with you today two cards, of course, where I will be going to the beach! Of course I adore the ocean, growing up in Southern California I went to the beach all the time.

Moreover if you missed my other videos but would like to catch up, of course you can, just click here. Download my cards with a PDF and follow along if you desire!

Become a Happy Shopper

Why did I join Stampin’ Up! almost 19 years ago? Of course it is because I wanted the Discount! Not to mention that I also wanted to get Color Coordination. Compared to trying to scrapbook and coordinate the colors on my page, SU! made it simple! Undeniably their products match each other, the ribbons, inks, papers embellishments ALL color coordinate. That takes away all the guess work for me! After all once you pick the color that best goes with your photo, the rest is easy! Join my team and you too can be a Happy Shopper! Coupled with getting a discount, my team get’s together every month and we stamp and swap cards! I also teach you how to do watermarks and make pdf’s along with other teaching tools.

Get a PDF with a Qualifying order!

Every month I work with 16 other Demonstrators where we each make a project, write down the instructions and include pictures. How can you get this PDF you ask? Of course it is super simple….with a Qualifying order ($35 or more) you will receive in your email a PDF with directions on how to make each one! As can be seen below there is a sneak peek!

This month it's all double scrapbook pages!
Love scrapbooking!

Stampin’ Besties Club!

Undeniably my favorite part of being a SU! demo is being able to do classes with my Besties! Carol, Hetty and I get together virtually moreover we plan 6 cards using the same stamps/suites! It’s amazing how the three of us identically use the same product and be totally different! Rarely do we get to come together in person, so we have so much fun in our Besties Club! Not only do you get 3 Designers, but you get so much more! Check out this page to find out more then let me know you want to be a Bestie too!

Finally….

Notwithstanding, I am finishing my post today, I would also like you to know that I appreciate you! After all, The fact that you are reading this has made my day!
