Stampin' Up! Beautiful Baubles stamp set and coordinating Dies

  • Stampin' Up! Beautiful Baubles
  • Seats remain for the Sept 09 Fall Occasions Card Class
  • Halloween-themed Paper Pumpkin kit

Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Beautiful Baubles


Today's card is another example of the wonderful bundles in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  This bundle includes the Beautiful Baubles stamp set and coordinating dies called, Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies.  I made the card a couple weeks ago, but wasn't sure if I liked it enough to post it.  After looking at it again today, I decided I really liked it, partly because it isn't traditional Holiday colors.


      
  




You're probably looking at the ribbon on this card and flipping through the catalog trying to find the Soft Suede ribbon.  Well, you won't find it.  I created the ribbon from our 3/8" Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon and the Light Soft Suede Blends Marker.  It takes just a moment or two to color this ribbon any color you need, using Blends, which gives you so many options! Be sure to add a roll or two of this ribbon to your next order, along with Blends alcohol-based markers in your favorite colors.

         

   

Directions for today's card:
  • Thick Very Vanilla basecard  
  • Next layer is Soft Suede
  • The next layer is Very Vanilla dry embossed with the Tufted Embossing Folder
  • The image layers are Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, and Soft Suede
  • For the ornament, I stamped the large bulb image in Crumb Cake and cut it out with a 2-1/4 inch circle punch
  • I backed a piece of Gold Foil Sheet with a Multipurpose adhesive sheet.  
  • Using a die from the Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies set, I die cut the detailed circle ornament out of a Gold Foil sheet and placed it over the detailed stamped ornament image after removing the Multipurpose adhesive sheet backing.
  • The 3/8" Gold Metallic Edged ribbon was colored with Light Soft Suede Blends and then tied in a bow.   
  • Loop Linen Thread between the ornament top and the Soft Suede box.  Attach the bow to the card with Mini Glue dots.
  • The sentiment is from the Timeless Tidings stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.  It is stamped in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla strip.

You've probably guessed already, but there are no tricks in this kit, just treats--treat packaging that is.  If you're wild about Halloween, you'll want this kit.  As with every Paper Pumpkin kit, the kits can be re purposed.  For instance, you can add cardstock and make cards with your kit contents.  Paper Pumpkins monthly kits includes exclusive products with the prep work done.

Every kit includes:

- an exclusive stamp set that you can use over and over.  
- at lease one classic Stampin' Spot arrives with every kit. 
- new subscribers receive a Paper Pumpkin clear block (size D).

Paper Pumpkin is an incredible value!  In addition to sending you an exclusive stamp set and ink spot, everything you need to make awesome projects.  Just add glue and scissors.  One month it might be cards, the following month a home decor project, then a gift packaging kit.  Its a different surprise each month.

Its flexible.  You can order a subscription for one month, 6 months, or 12 months and you can suspend for a month or cancel at anytime. 

Since all the prep work is done, the projects take a shorter time to complete, making it the perfect on-the-go craft.  

Heading out of town?  Grab a kit to put together during your downtime.  Each monthly project fits in one little box so you can take it anywhere.  

Stampin' Up! shares a video on its YouTube channel to quickly demonstrate how to assemble each kit.  Its published about the time your kit arrives in your mail box.
