In case you're not familiar with Paper Pumpkin, you might find this Stampin' Up! blog post really helpful (HERE). Basically, it's a fun crafting experience that arrives at your door (unless you pause your subscription) and usually- but not always- makes nine cards (3 each of 3 designs) with an exclusive small stamp set and mini Ink Spot.
The May Paper Pumpkin subscription box, Sparkling Celebrations, is now available! This kit makes nine cards (3 each of 3 designs) and includes silver foil elements. This month's Stampin' Spot (mini ink pad) is Misty Moonlight.
Ordering closes 5/10, and the kits will begin shipping out 5/11.
The Wonderful Scenes Add-On dies coordinate beautiful with the April-June Paper Pumpkin boxes!

Last but certainly not least, we actually started the Cute As a Bug Stamp Camp making this adorable picnic basket, which will hold all four cards and envelopes for gift giving if you so choose.
The fourth card was a bonus that I added on from the original Stamp Camp because we had so many supplies left. (I can't wait to see what everyone makes with their leftovers!)
Tomorrow is the last day to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin to receive the Lakeside Retreat subscription box which makes nine cards (3 each of 3 designs) and coordinates with the NEW (coming in May) Waterside Retreat suite. This month's Stampin' Spot (mini ink pad) is Peaceful Pine, one of the new In Colors!
The Wonderful Scenes Add-On dies coordinate beautiful with the April-June Paper Pumpkin boxes!
The third card highlights using the dies available in the Sweet Bug dies or stamp set/dies bundle.
We added some shading on the die cuts and colored the stamped images with Stampin' Blends. I did add some Wink of Stella on the little bell flowers, but it doesn't show well in the photo.
As I mentioned in previous posts, please reach out if you'd like info on how you could get the stamp camp tutorial!
The second card from my Cute As a Bug Stamp Camp (more info HERE) was a Z-fold card focusing on fussy cutting motifs from the adorable DSP.
Last month, I held my Cute As a Bug Stamp Camp (just a half-day camp!) with a few lovely ladies. What makes Stamp Camp different from a Crafternoon? More products in your hands (like 1/2 pack of Cute As a Bug DSP) plus more advanced techniques including cutting many of your own pieces.
If you weren't able to attend in person but are interested in digital instructions, please let me know!
Happy Easter! I made this cross card on a recent Live on my Facebook page (Thursday nights at 7:30 PM ET) and wanted to share it with you.
I used Thoughtful Journey 6"x6" DSP with Country Woods DSP plus die cuts from Beautiful Gallery.

Recently, we showered a teacher at work who is getting married soon, and my team opted to get her a gift card so that she could get what she needed. Of course I volunteered to make a card for us! I decided to make a 7"x5" gift card holder so that there was plenty of room for all of us to sign.
I started with at 7"x12" piece of Basic White cardstock that I scored at 5" and 2" to make the card fold and a gift card holder pocket. For the front panel, I added a piece of the gorgeous Lovely and Beautiful white & gold DSP (6 3/4" x 4 3/4") along with a Petal Pink Beautifully Celebrated dies frame and nested Basic White frame, stamped in Versamark and gold embossed from the Forever Florals stamp set. The flower was die cut from the Simply Beautiful dies.
The inside pocket is finished with a 7"x 3/4" strip of Lovely and Beautiful white & gold DSP and a 7"x 1/2" Petal Pink cardstock strip. Only adhere the right and left edges to make the gift card pocket.

My (almost) sister-in-law's birthday is the day before mine, and I had a lot of fun making this Easter Joy birthday card for her!
To make it extra festive, I scored this card to be an easel fun fold. I also added a Cute As a Bug snail die cut on the inside along with die cuts and some fussy cutting.
Shy Shamrock is one of the retiring In Colors (24-26) that I absolutely love and hate to see go! You can find these products while supplies last HERE. Thanks for choosing me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator!
