The suite is made up of two stamp sets, a set of dies (that coordinates with one of the sets), a punch (that coordinates with the other set), an embossing folder, ribbon, clip embellishments, and a pack of designer paper.
Here is the holiday card I created and sent (along with supplies to make that ornament I shared on December 3rd) to those in my Stampers With ART group. The nice thing about this is it is beautiful but simple… and easy to mass produce!
Here are the measurements & directions you’ll need if you plan to recreate it.
Measurements…
Early Espresso Cardstock: 4-1/4” x 11” scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for card base
Whisper White Cardstock: 3-1/2” x 4-3/4” for the inside and scrap for die-cutting the almost 3″-diameter circle
All Is Bright Designer Paper: 4” x 3”
Vellum Cardstock: scrap for punching leaf
Gold Foil Sheets: scrap for punching leaf
Products… See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions…
Stamp the inside sentiment (your choice from the stamp set) with Early Espresso ink onto the 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ Whisper White piece, and add to the inside of the card base using SNAIL.
Attach the designer paper to the front of the card as shown.
Die-cut the 2-15/16″ diameter Whisper White circle (using the largest smooth-edge die in the Layering Circles collection).
Stamp the sentiment onto the circle in Early Espresso ink.
Color a small rhinestone with the Dark Daffodil Delight Blends marker, then add to the dot on the j in Joy.
Punch two leaves – one from the Vellum Cardstock and one from the Gold Foil Sheet. Using SNAIL attach these so they are stick out from the upper left of the sentiment circle.
Then attach the circle to the front of the card.

I wanted to share with all of you how to make these Mini Pinwheel Cards, so I put together a few more with the All Is Bright Designer Paper and the Clear & Gold Faceted Gems and then shared the step-by-steps in my Wednesday Facebook Live Broadcast. This was also a good opportunity for me to share with you all the exciting promotions happening now and coming up.
I uploaded the recorded version of this video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the measurements and full products list below, scroll through the close-up photos of the Mini Pinwheel Cards/Pouches, and then let me know if you have any questions. I think you’ll enjoy what I have to share.
Here are the measurements you’ll need if you plan to recreate the cute Poinsettia Mini Pinwheel Card/Pouch (in the video I share how these can be more like a gift pouches, too). And below and above are close-up photos of most of the ones that I shared in the video.

A few of my lucky Paper Pumpkin subscribers received a package in the mail with this project in it that I made with the November 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin’ Up! titled: To You and Yours.
I thought I’d share it with all of you and give you a few brief directions in case you’d like to duplicate it. By the way, the Takeout Thinlits Dies are one of the products that are leaving us soon. It’s in the Year-End Closeout. (CLICK HERE to access the Year-End Closeout list of products. CLICK HERE to shop the Closeout in my online store.)
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions:
Die-cut the box die two times from one of the kit card bases lining up the score line on the card with where the box die will also score.
Then assemble the box by first overlapping then connecting the bases with Tear & Tape Adhesive. Put a small strip of Tear & Tape on each of the four tabs. Pull up the sides and connect them together with the tabs. Shut the top side flaps, then shut the top main flaps by pinching them together.
Place a couple sprigs against the flaps, and add a clip.
Tie a bow with the ribbon in the kit and add it to the clip with a Glue Dot.
Die-cut the plaid paper in the kit with the trapezoid die and add it to a scrap of Gold Foil paper. Trim the Gold Foil to create an 1/8″ border around the plaid.
Stamp “for you” with Garden Green ink onto half of one of the banner pieces from the kit. Attach this to the trapezoid piece with a Dimensional on one end and a Glue Dot on the end closest to the outer edge. Trim so the banner piece edge is flush with the trapezoid layer.
Then adhere this layer to the front of the box.
If you received this November 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit, I shared a couple other alternate projects (with how-to videos) that you may want to check out.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today! If you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I invite you to give it a try. CLICK HERE to learn more. Then get your Paper Pumpkin subscription started with ME as your demonstrator so you can see even more EXCLUSIVE ideas, get gifts & prizes, earn Loyalty Rewards, and more! But wait!…
Paper Pumpkin is gaining more and more subscribers each month. And the subscriber base has grown beyond what was forecasted for the next kit being shipped December 11th. So… the December kit has already sold out, and any new subscribers at this point will have to wait for January’s.
I’ve always been a big fan, so I’m excited that so many are in love with these kits, too! But I’m sorry that new subscribers can’t get in on this next kit. If you are interested in subscribing for future kits though, message me to let me know. I can then email you a reminder on December 11th when subscriptions will be opened up again.

I’ve shared this style fun fold card a couple times on my blog recently. Click here to see a few versions of this card and a my how-to video for this fun fold. Then click here to see a couple more that I made. Be sure to watch the video for directions for putting together this fun fold card. It’s easier than it looks! The only extra tips I have that are specific to this card would be to stamp the sentiment first, then die-cut it. Adhere it to the die-cut frame layer, attach the die-cut branch behind so it peeks out, then attach it to the front of the card using Dimensionals.
This weekend I’ll be heading up to northern Minnesota once again with my friend, Cheryl Lee. I’ll be spoiling Cheryl all weekend (with my parents’ help) during this second annual Silver Elite Retreat, an all-expense paid weekend get-away that includes gifts and fun stamping projects as a celebration of her title and achievements. So I’m currently on a mad rush to create all these items! I’ll be sure to share photos next week.

I missed the fabulous Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop today because I didn’t get my video uploaded to YouTube in time. I’m bummed about that, but better late than never. Right?
Today I’m sharing with you a fun project idea that you could create with the November 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin’ Up! titled: To You and Yours. This kit that came to Paper Pumpkin subscribers this month included supplies to make 10 beautiful holiday cards (5 each of 2 designs shown below).
