I’m working my way through some more retiring/retired products, getting ready for the new Annual Catalogue that debuts on 4 June. I have really enjoyed the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration this year. Here are some of the cards I’ve made with it recently:
The two main things I’ve loved about this paper: the very colourful images on one side contrasted with black-and-white designs on the reverse, and that many of the butterflies are able to be punched out with the Butterfly Duet punch.
Like those rhinestone swirls? They’ve been in my stash so long! Since the 2011 Holiday Catalogue, in fact.
I have been saving them for the right project, and I’m pleased to use them on these cards.
Paper Pumpkin is Stampin’ Up!’s monthly paper crafting kit that has been available in North America for 6 years. This special kit, designed in conjunction with SU!’s co-founder and chair, Shelli Gardner, is a one-off global offering.
The Shelli kit from Paper Pumpkin includes the following:
- An exclusive stamp set not available anywhere else
- One Classic Stampin’ Spot® from our Classic ink collection
- Paper and crafting materials to create 12 cards (3 cards of 4 unique designs)
- 12 exclusive, coordinating envelopes
- Adhesives and embellishments for all 12 cards
I will be creating a Pinterest board with alternative project ideas for using the contents of the Hugs for Shelli Kit. I will also offer a session in my craft room for customers who purchase it to come assemble their kit and make some alternatives if they like.
When I lived in the U.S. I really enjoyed both the original designs and creating alternatives with my Paper Pumpkin kits…I hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity!
I fully expect this kit to sell out quickly…you may pre-order with me now, and I will collect payment from you before placing an order on May 15. This will save you having to remember on the day!
