Paper Pumpkin alternative

Have you received a paper pumpkin yet and thought to yourself what am I going to do with that? I did that with the mini album kit...I was not sure that I wanted to make a mini album so I decided to make cards...Here is what I came up with...

 

You don't have use your kit to create what is on the picture, you can use the items to create something unique to you! This card is so cute with the polaroid sticker frames (Which are very popular right now) and turned it into a super cute thank you note!

What products are you hoping to see in the holiday catalog?

More than just cards...

I love to create and I believe with all my heart it is a talent that God has given me and no one else. I cannot do it on my own, it all comes from His help. God opened a door for a tremendous ministry opportunity to send card kits to missionaries in Panama. What a precious gift to be able to serve Christ in such a way. I wish I could have been  there to share these kits myself but God has placed them in the right hands. Our church was actually able to go and do cards with a group of teenagers while they where there and I wanted to share what God is doing.

Here are the card kits, the ladies of the church and I worked on 100 card kits to send to panama, along with the stamps and items they needed to complete their cards.

 

These are two of the photos that some of the Panama team took while on their trip, making cards wit the women in the villages. Yes I will admit I cried and my heart was over whelmed. My prayer is that God will use these for His honor and glory! How exciting!

Pomp and Circumstance

It is graduation season and our house is no exception this year....not only to I have a stack of cards to send but Addison graduated from Kindergarten.

 

I wanted to share the card that I am sending out this graduation season. I create the image on the front using MDS, then cut it out to fit the front of my card.

 

 

 

Happy Graduation to all the Grads out there!

Hello Kitty Stampin Up inviations

I wanted to share with you another order that I had recently for these super cute hello kitty invitations. In order to create the hello kitty herself I had to find a template online and cut out each of the pieces. It was a pocket card that pulled out with all the event details.

 

Hello Kitty had a Bermuda bay, and real red makeover...Don't be afraid to try new things with your Stampin Up products. Customize your invitations and make them special. Don't forget you can order them from me as well, in my etsy shop or through email.
