I am trying to get more views and subscribers on my Youtube channel videos. Have you visited my channel lately? It’s open 24/7 so when you feel the need to paper craft, check out my Youtube channel playlists for inspiration. I am working towards 1000 subscribers so I can host Youtube Live demonstrations. Can you help me reach my goal and subscribe to my channel please? Thank you for clicking the subscribe button and sharing my channel and videos with your paper crafting friends!

My latest video is a sketch challenge that is part of a VLOG hop. All the videos in the hop will feature the same sketch which gives you lots of ideas to customize the sketch to your supplies. Here is the sketch.

I opted to use some of my Bloom Where You’re Planted scraps to create three levels of designs.

Follow along my Youtube video to see the assembly. Then create your own while hopping through the other videos in the VLOG Hop.

Before heading out from my Youtube channel, please subscribe to help me reach my goal of 1000 subscribers so I can start bringing you Youtube Live video demonstrations! Thank you so much for your help!

Friday is the Last Day to Earn the December Pretty Paper Projects pdf

December 28, 2021December 28, 2021Leave a comment

I designed this card to be included in my collaborative Pretty Paper Projects pdf for the December edition. When I designed it, the autumn leaves were falling to the ground. I could feel the cool crisp air with apple cider spices wafting from my mug.

Pretty Paper Projects is a collaborative effort to reward my customers with a fun little project inspiration sheet emailed directly to your in-box. Friday is the last day to earn the December edition of the Pretty Paper Projects pdf by placing a $50 or more order (excluding shipping and tax) through my online store using the appropriate Shop Now buttons on the left side of my blog. Use the host code button if your order is UNDER $150. Host code must be used for orders under $150 to earn the pdf. Use the other Show Now button if your order is OVER $150 (both excluding shipping and tax). Both cases earn the December Pretty Paper Projects pdf.

To see the other editions of the Pretty Paper Projects samples, click here to zoom to that blog post.

The pdf’s are a thank you for shopping with me!

I showcased the Sweet Stockings bundle in the The 12 Days of Christmas and More Paper Crafting Facebook event. The cards below were simple cards because I just could not cover up all the fun pet prints!

If you are interested in creating a stack of easy to assemble projects to stuff your mailbox or want an easy paper crafting kit to gift, you might consider our Kits Collection. You can select from a variety of projects including greeting cards, small gift packaging or both in the same kit! Kit contents vary as well so you might need to provide adhesives or stamps and ink pads. Click here or the Kits Collection graphic to place your order using host S3399KHQ. Remove the host code if your order exceeds $150 (excluding shipping and tax) but remain shopping with me so you can redeem all the host rewards your self. Once you arrive at my online store, click on Shop Products/Kit Collection to browse what is in stock.

Perhaps you would like to try a monthly paper crafting surprise in your mailbox? Then Paper Pumpkin kits are for you. The home office team provides clues as to what project types are included and design themes too in each kit. They like to keep the entire kit contents a surprise though. I suggest purchasing Paper Pumpkin subscriptions through my online store for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. There is a price break for the 6 and 12 month options. You can gift subscriptions as well. There is a handy gift certificate to print in your email along with the subscription links and codes. You can skip a month if you don’t like the sneak peeks or will be away from your house too.

Click here or the subscription graphic above to place your Paper Pumpkin Subscription order using host code S3399KHQ . Remove the host code if your order exceeds $150 (excluding shipping and tax) but remain shopping with me so you can redeem all the host rewards your self. Once you arrive at my online store, click Shop Products/Kits Paper Pumpkin/Prepaid Subscriptions. Then select the appropriate subscription and add to your shopping cart.

If you need help deciding which kit program works for your needs, add a comment, send me an email or FB PM me.

Ordering through either program lands you an email invitation to join my next Kit Together event on Zoom. The Kit Together Zoom event is Thursday, January 20th, 10am or 6pm. Just place your order for a kit by January 10th to allow for shipping time. Then look in your email for an invitation to join the Zoom event. Stampers that are receiving Paper Pumpkins through me will automatically receive an email invite to the Zoom event. Stamp with you then!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop Sweet Stockings

December 15, 2021December 14, 202112 Comments

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of gift packaging projects to share with you. You may have arrived from Maureen’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

The Sweet Stocking suite is for the dog and cat lover. The images on the patterned paper are so cute! The paper is richly toned with cherry cobbler, evening evergreen along with shades of bumblebee, cinnamon cider, old olive and pool party. I decided to make a wrap to go around the Acetate Card Boxes. Position the patterned paper for a custom wrap tailored to the person receiving the box whether they like dog or cats.
