I got this corner-cut layout idea from a swap I received on the incentive trip from Ann Clemmer. (I shared it along with my other swaps on July 18th.) I thought it was clever and unique.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Pretty Peacock Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base
Scrap for die-cutting/embossing the leaf (or use what is left over after cutting off the corner of the card base)
Gray Granite Cardstock
4″ x 5-1/4″
Early Espresso Cardstock
2-15/16″ x 2-15/16″
Scrap for punching two leaf clusters
Champagne Foil
Scrap for die-cutting/embossing the leaf
Come to Gather Designer Paper (pattern with white pumpkins and gray background)
Two pieces that are 1-3/8″ x 1-3/8″
Come to Gather Designer Paper (pattern with polka-dots on gray background)
Two pieces that are 1-3/8″ x 1-3/8″
Directions…
Measure 3″ up the right side and 3″ across the bottom from the lower right corner of the folded card base. Mark those two spots with a pencil. Then cut diagonally to remove the lower right corner of the card front.
Stamp the large leaf image on the upper left corner of the Gray Granite Cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink. And attach to the inside of the card.
Attach the Early Espresso square to the front of the card with Dimensionals.
Stamp the two sentiments with Early Espresso ink on the card front in the upper left and on the Gray Granite layer peeking out on the lower right.
Adhere the designer paper pieces to the Early Espresso square (now a diamond).
Die-cut and punch the leaves. (The dies also emboss at the same time!) Adhere them to the middle of the diamond using Glue Dots and Dimensionals.
This is what it looks like when I prepare to mail out my Stampers With ART make-n-take materials. My friend (and assistant) Vicki Spicer came over to help me with this process. Yay! Love that gal!
I’m already in the process of planning the October 16th make-n-takes. 😃
This past Sunday was our fantastic Creative Connections event in Medina, Minnesota! Our local leaders group puts this on for our team members each year. This year I helped with assembling name tags and checking in the 290 attendees when they arrived.
Everyone does their part in some small or large way. Those that demonstrated and presented this year were Sue Nurnberger, Amy Rich, Lisa Schultz, Beth Tetzlaff, Dawn Olchefske, Bj Peters, Donna Griffith, Brian Pilling, Kay Kalthoff, Patsy Waggoner and Karen Titus.
The room was packed with energy and ideas. There were display boards everywhere, prizes for everyone, and opportunities to visit and take photos. People were swapping cards and having a grand time soaking in what they could.
Thank you to Terri Gaines, Susan Campfield, and Georgia Giguere for taking the lead once again on this super affordable training event! Those in my team that attended were all smiles! And how fun it was to have Brian Pilling and Donna Griffith from the Stampin’ Up! home office spend their day with us again.
And it’s amazing what can happen with all these creative people get together! I’m looking forward to next year. Be a part of my community and you’ll be able to take part on August 9, 2020!

A PEEK AT OCTOBER’S & EVEN NOVEMBER’S PAPER PUMPKIN KITS Christmastime papercrafting with Paper Pumpkin has become an annual tradition! So to deliver more of what our subscribers love this holiday season, in October and November we are offering back-to-back coordinating kits, one with Christmas cards, the other with Christmas tags. Both kits make it easy for you to add a handmade, personal touch to your holiday giving—without a lot of fuss. It’s Christmas made easy with Paper Pumpkin! The October 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit makes ten 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ cards and includes envelopes. The November 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit makes 24 holiday-themed gift tags of 4 various sizes and designs. Both kits include coordinating colors: Early Espresso, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, and Shaded Spruce. The October and November kits coordinate; however, each kit is all-inclusive and can stand alone. Click here to get your subscription started by October 10th for the next kit.
I loved creating with the August 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit! And today I want to share with you two more projects… a mini album (which you MAY have seen when it was shared by Cole Lambourne at Stampin’ Up! during their Facebook Live broadcast on August 27th) and the pretty card that I sent to a few of my lucky subscribers.
I made the album with with envelopes from the coordinating Gift of Fall Add-On Kit and elements from the August Paper Pumpkin kit.
The next few photos show all the inside pages in order.
Here is how I assembled my six envelopes for the album.
I sandwiched them with adhesive on the two outer flaps and down the center within the 7-3/4″ x 5-3/8″ Merry Merlot Cardstock cover that I scored in the middle twice (3-3/4″ from each end).
And then I added Merry Merlot and Pretty Peacock Cardstock for photo mats.
I used one more envelope to decorate the front and…
…the back. Those layers help to hold the 30″ of ribbon in place.
Product List… things you might need/want in addition to the August 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit to make this album
Here is the card that I sent to a few of my lucky subscribers.
You’d of course want to write along the left side of the inside of the card so that when the card is closed, what you wrote wouldn’t show through the see-through areas of the designer acetate. Here are some details if you wish to make this card yourself.
Measurements…
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″ and folded into a z-fold
Crumb Cake Cardstock
Scrap for punching sprig
Mercury Glass Designer Acetate
3-3/4″ x 5″
Directions…
Fold the Whisper White Cardstock into a z-fold. The crease should be in the middle. To the right of the crease is the inside area of the card.
Add 3-1/2″ of Tear & Tape Adhesive just to the left of the crease on the folded flat card base. Then add the acetate layer so it is centered. You should see 1/4″ white border on all four sides if you centered it well.
Wrap 48-50″ Linen Thread about four times around the top layer near the crease concealing the Tear & Tape adhesive underneath. Tie in a knot, then in a bow. Adjust if necessary to bring the bow to the center.
Add the colorful berries/leaves vellum piece with Glue Dots so it is tucked under the thread.
Add the Crumb Cake punched sprig with Glue Dots so it is tucked under the thread.
Add a leaf piece from the kit (flipped over to the white side) with Glue Dots so it is tucked under the thread.
Stamp the sentiment onto the label piece. And add to the acetate so it is overlapping the ends of the foliage pieces and the thread.
Add a Flower Faceted Gem.

Last weekend at a demonstrator event put on by my upline Susan Campfield, my sister demonstrator Carol Rosengren shared a beautiful fun-fold card she made using the Magnolia Lane designer paper and the Good Morning Magnolia bundle.
As I watched her demonstrate, I realized that I may have never shared any shutter fold cards here on my blog before! Which surprised me since fun-folds are right up my alley. So I immediately started creating when I got home that day, and I came up with four other versions of her card.
One of them I shared from start to finish in my Wednesday, August 28th Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook. I then uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live 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), scroll through the close-up photos, check out the products list at the bottom of my post, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed the cards I shared in this video. Below are the updated measurements. And further down are close-up photos of all the cards I shared.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Petal Pink Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to short side 2-1/8” in from each end
Basic Black Cardstock
1-1/4” x 11”
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
5-1/2” x 3-1/4”

#APaperPumpkinThing Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the August 2019 The Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants.
Here is a photo of the intended projects from this month’s colorful, fall-themed kit which makes 6 gift bags and tags.
I’ve already shared a few other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on August 22nd.
A 12×12 Scrapbook Page Layout
A Treat Bag with a Window
Two Alternate Greeting Cards (plus one that I didn’t design)
Today I have three more projects to inspire your creativity and help you think outside the box.
A Circle Card
Thanksgiving Day Personalized Dinner Notes
and a Shirt Bag
All of these are super easy to make and only require a few extra tools and supplies. Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
CIRCLE CARD
Circle cards are fun fold cards. They are made of circles layered on top of each other and connected with brads so the circles can rotate while the card extends open.
Here are photos of this one opening up…
They are simple to make, right!
Measurements for extra products…
Whisper White Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting 3″ x 3″ Circle
Directions…
Stamp sentiment onto white side of narrow banner piece. Then adhere to the center of a yellow circular wreath.
Die-cut a 3″ x 3″ Whisper White circle.
Position wreath piece with sentiment on top of Whisper White circle, pierce a hole through both in the bottom about 1/4″ from the edge, then add a brad.
Twist top layer open. Layer the Whisper White circle on top of a second wreath piece. Pierce a hole through the white circle and the second wreath so that this hole is on the opposite side of where the first hole was made. Add a brad.
Open card all the way open. Stamp inside sentiment.
Embellish top circle with Flower Faceted Gems. Close the card back up after signing it, and give it in a 3″ x 3″ envelope.
THANKSGIVING DAY PERSONALIZED DINNER NOTES
Measurements for extra products for one note…
Crumb Cake Cardstock
3″ x 3″
Vellum Cardstock (or vellum scraps from the kit)
Scrap for punching leaves
Directions…
Stamp sentiment to the front of the envelope flap.
Punch a set of leaves from the extra vellum in the kit or Vellum Cardstock.
Attach the vellum leaves and the coordinating kit leaves to the underside of the flap of a 3″ x 3″ envelope using Glue Dots.
Tie a couple strands of twine into a bow. Add to the front of the flap with a Glue Dot.
Write a note telling your loved one why you are thankful for them on the Crumb Cake Cardstock and insert.
Make one of these for each guest attending Thanksgiving Day dinner, and present them at their place settings.
SHIRT BAG
This is a fun one!!! When I saw the banner, I pictured it as a neck tie. And one thing led to another. This is the same technique for making shirt cards (which I just realized I’ve never shared with you… Click here to see my friend Julie’s tutorial). I just applied this technique to the bag.
Directions…
Remove the handles and the extra layers of paper inside the bag.
Flatten the bag. Measure one inch down from each of the top two corners and then one inch in. Draw a line on each side to connect these two measurements.
Cut along the two lines. Fold the top corners diagonally in and down to connect the points together forming the shirt collar. (Don’t glue down yet.)
Make the tie…Mark 3/4″ in from each side at the top of the tie. Mark 3″ down from on each side. Connect the dots as shown. Then cut out the tie.
Stamp “enjoy” on the right side of one of the banners. Add this tie clip to the tie using a Glue Dot near the edge of the tie and a Dimensional at the end of the clip. Wrap the rest of the banner to the back and adhere or trim off the excess. Add a sequin if room.
Adhere tie to the bag front..
After stuffing bag with a gift or goody, glue the four flaps of the collar down with Glue Dots.
And give as a gift.
My circle card and shirt bag were featured in Paper Pumpkin’s Facebook Live Tuesday night. But Cole didn’t know that my bag was a bag. 😆🤦🏼♀️You’ll want to watch that live to see lots of other ideas and to see a HUGE SNEAK PEEK of the upcoming September kit! Cole made a haunted house from the kit contents!
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

It was fun to be back in my routine doing another Online Paper Crafting Class via Facebook Live this past Wednesday. I was super excited to share an updated version of my Dragonfly Closure Card that I featured back on April 6, 2018. So I used current products this time: the Butterfly Beauty Dies, the Perennial Essence Designer Paper and Vellum Cardstock, and the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and shared how to adapt that same technique to this wider butterfly die that is available now. Making the front of the card a bit narrower than the base is the trick! See how the wings extend beyond?
I then uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live 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 products list below, scroll through the close-up photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
OH! I also shared peeks of some new 2019 Holiday Catalog products debuting on September 4 that I received on Stampin’ Up!’s Greek Isles Incentive Trip. So you’ll want to view this video just for that reason alone.
I hope you enjoyed the card I made in this video! And I hope you enjoyed seeing all the product peeks. Below are measurements and close-up photos.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Basic Black Cardstock
3” x 4” scrap for die-cutting butterfly
Whisper White Thick Cardstock
8-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored at 4-1/4” and folded in half for card base…a 1/2” by 4-1/4” section is then removed from both the right and left of the card front so the front flap is 4-1/2” x 4-1/4”
Perennial Essence Designer Paper
4” x 3-1/8”
5-1/4” x 4”
Perennial Essence Vellum Cardstock
3” x 4” scrap of pink for die-cutting butterfly
Scrap of green for punching a leaf
Vellum Cardstock
Scrap for punching a leaf
Below are photos of two Dragonfly Closure Cards I made and shared back on April 6, 2018. The wing span isn’t as wide, so the front of the card doesn’t have to be altered to bring the Classic Label Punch slot in further as in the card with the butterfly above.

Thank you to all of you who have helped my son, Nick raise money for his Disney World Jazz Band Trip that will take place this January 2020 by ordering product this month using his host code. And thank you to any of you who still plan to order using his host code. There is still a day and a half left. 😉 CLICK HERE to watch Nick’s video so you can learn more about this fundraiser. And if you wish to order, please use the host code SNJMKRP9 which will expire at 7 PM Central Time on Sunday, June 30th (tomorrow).
He has raised over $400 with this fundraiser alone so far! And we are now sending out our second set of thank you cards. I’m sharing that card with you today. I used the negative pieces from the team birthday cards that I made and shared with you on June 22nd, because I couldn’t throw them away! And I love how this card turned out.
I’m calling it a “clip-in” fun fold card because the front flap folds inward and is held in place on the inside with a paper clip so it can stand on its own.
Measurements…
Granny Apple Green Cardstock
11” x 4-1/4″” scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2”
Basic Black Cardstock
2-1/2″ x 4″

Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
3″
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions/Tips…
Die-cut the cattails from the Basic Black Cardstock. Then adhere this to the designer paper using sponged on Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Adhere this to one of the Daffodil Delight pieces. Stamp the other Daffodil Delight piece.
Use one of the Daffodil Delight pieces as a guide, then stamp the word “thanks” on the front bottom right of the card.
Add the layered silhouette piece to the front using Dimensionals (placed only under the right half).
Fold and add the ribbon, trim the ends at angles, then add the stamped Daffodil Delight piece to the inside of the card using SNAIL.
Add the yellow Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots and a silver paper clip.
Stampin’ Up! created an awesome resource called a Greetings Index. It doesn’t include all the stamp sets, but it’s a visual reference for many of the stamp sets that include lots of sentiments. You can find it here on my website by clicking on the Greetings Index option in the What’s New drop down menu.
