Die Cutting off the Edge

MagicalPopUp

Recently I saw a video by Jennifer McGuire on a technique she calls die cutting off the edge. It's basically popping images off the edge of your card. I had done a similar technique several months ago using the Half Full stamp set and the Painted Harvest stamp set from the Holiday Catalog, both of which have been carried over by the way. Click HERE to see those cards. This time I'm featuring the Magical Day Bundles.

Cutest Cupcake Boxes . . . EVER!

CupcakeBoxes

As I mentioned yesterday, Sara Douglass, CEO of Stampin' Up!, shared a video on Facebook for making the cutest and quickest cupcake boxes using one of our Mini Pizza Boxes and the Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. Not only is this paper beautiful because it has gold foil inserted throughout the patterns, but it's also a heavier cardstock, which makes it perfect for this type of project. I added some ribbon to mine to keep the boxes together but you can use to keep the boxes sealed.

You can go over to to see how she made it. Just click on Videos in the sidebar of her page to find it. If you'd like a pdf of the instructions, just leave a comment on this post and I will email them to you.

Here's a video I made. Hopefully I won't confuse you too much! LOL

January 2018 Paper Pumpkin

This month's Paper Pumpkin kit is all about love and Valentine's Day. Take a look.

If you don't send a lot of Valentine cards, these quick little notes are perfect to handout to your favorite hairdresser, bank teller, grocery clerk, or mailman. It's amazing how a small token of appreciation can put a smile on someone's face.

To go along with the Valentine theme, I used two of the cards and some extra Basic Black cardstock to create a little treat box. The paper shred is made from strips of Flirty Flamingo cardstock. The little hearts were punched from a piece of leftover from the card scraps.

The black and white stripe reminded me of a suit. So I deconstructed another card to come up with this. I also used some leftover pieces from one of the other projects. The black card base is from the April 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit. The white stitching was done with one of our retired Signo White Gel Pens. The sentiment is heat embossed in white using a stamp from the December 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit. A sweet little card for someone who just received that promotion or is starting a new job.

For this next card I used some Champagne Foil Sheet, which is still available on the Holiday Carryover List. Click to download a copy. The hearts from the Paper Pumpkin kit appear to be copper but the Champagne Foil Sheets work with copper, gold, and even silver. It's sort of a shiny neutral. I also cut the Happy Birthday Thinlit and the little heart using the Champagne Foil.
