Calming Camellia Sale-A-Bration Host Set is a staple you'll want to add to your permanent Stamp Collection

                           

  • Calming Camellia Sale-A-Bration Host Set
  • Symbol of Fortune Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit - includes two stamp sets!

If you want a staple stamp set you'll use long after Sale-A-Bration ends, consider the Calming Camellia Host Stamp Set.  The blurred lines of the artwork have a soft elegance, which makes this stamp set perfect for creating cards to send to your loved ones of all ages.  You'll also love the versatile range of sentiments in timeless fonts included in this stamp set.  I used the Symbol of Fortune Specialty Designer Series Paper in Soft Succulent tones and also stamped the main image in Calming Camellia Stamp Set in Soft Succulent ink.  Then I added a bow in the Soft Succulent Satin Shimmer Ribbon and this beautiful card was complete.   Anytime you spend $300 or more during Sale-A-Bration the exclusive Calming Camellia Host Stamp Set is included Free!  Just add item #158117.  


Floral greeting card using Calming Camellia Sale-A-bration Host Set from Stampin' Up!


To create today's card, I used a base card of Soft Succulent Cardstock.  Then a layer of Basic White Cardstock.  Then a layer of one of the prints from the Symbol of Fortune 12" X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper.

For the image layers, I used a layer of Basic White matted with a layer of Soft Succulent Cardstock, offset slightly from the Basic White layer.   I stamped the main image from the Calming Camellia stamp set in Soft Succulent, which created all of the shading automatically.  This image is so easy to work with!

Next, I stamped sentiments in Soft Succulent, and I added a bow of the Soft Succulent 1/2" Satin Shimmer Ribbon.    The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Calming Camellia stamp set, and the So Glad We're Family sentiment is from the Honeybee Home Stamp Set.

Valentine fun using Kisses & Hugs Paper Pumpkin Kit and add-on Mini Treat Holders

                          

  • Kisses & Hugs Paper Pumpkin Kit Alternatives
  • Pretty Pillowbox Dies create more Valentine Treat Holders
  • Kisses & Hugs Refills +  Mini Treat Boxes Add-On available now!
Sometimes it's necessary to unlearn the lessons we learned in Kindergarten.  Color inside the lines, they teach us.  Use the expected colors of green for grass, blue for sky.  When I receive a Paper Pumpkin Kit, the first thing I do is look for alternative ways to use the elements in a kit. I like to color outside the lines. Paper Pumpkin Kits are great to use just as they were designed. But it's even more fun to create alternative projects with the Paper Pumpkin Kits.  The Kisses and Hugs Kit from January 2022 lends itself to lots of creative ideas, so be bold.  Color outside the lines with your Paper Pumpkin Kits!  Express yourself freely!  I used the heart die cuts in the kit to create a fun-fold card.  Then I opened the envelopes in the kit and created some alternative treat packaging ideas using Pretty Pillowbox Dies, Item #156321 |$34.00 USD.  I used the Kisses & Hugs Mini Treat Boxes Add-On as is, as they were perfection.  Refills are available for the Kisses & Hugs Kit and the Mini Treat Boxes Add on.  The Mini Treat Box add-on includes 20 treat boxes!  In addition to my own kit and Mini Treat Boxes add-on, I also sent sets as fun gifts for my niece and nephew, who also love to craft.  


Valentine Card and treat holders using January 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up!

To create the card below, I used one of the base card provided with the kit.  I folded the two hearts on each end in half so that they opened in the center.  The I layered a vellum heart and a pink heart from the kit.  I opened an envelope and cut a heart from the Xs and Os print on the inside of the envelope just a bit smaller than the pink heart.  I then added a Gray Granite arrow from the kit.  Then I used the stamps from the kit to stamp a sentiment on the inside.

Then I folded a couple of the add-on Kisses & Hugs mini treat boxes together, added a few white shreds, and a piece of wrapped candy.  I used the gold cord from the add-on kit and the pink heart.  It makes a fun addition to the card from the Kisses & Hugs Paper Pumpkin Kit.  


Treat Boxes with gold Xs and Os from the Kisses & Hugs Add on to the January 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit


Next, I opened a few of the envelopes from the Kisses & Hugs Paper Pumpkin Kit and I decided to make some additional mini treat holders using the Pretty Pillowbox Dies.  I used a couple of small plastic bags filled with Pistachios to fill these little Pillowboxes.  I used the gold cord and small pink hearts from the add-on kit to coordinate with the card and other mini boxes.
