Saturday Morning Videos: Spiral Flower Die

Good morning and welcome to Saturday Morning Cartoons Videos! Learn the easiest way to make a perfect paper flower. Paper flowers are beautiful but cutting them by hand is tedious, especially if you're making a bunch. Now you can cut a flower in seconds with the Spiral Flower Originals Die and Big Shot. And you can cut multiple sheets at one time or use different materials. After the flowers are cut, just roll and adhere. Make one, make a ton—either way, you'll be done in no time!

MY Project Life . . . in Progress!

I sat down the other day with my Project Life stuff and had a ball creating!  I used the Everyday Adventure Suite and Project Life Framelits - and that made the process go SO quickly!

These are the supplies I used . . .

Inspired by:  me!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Everyday Adventure Project Life Card Collection [135298] $15.95

Everyday Adventure Project Life Accessory Pack [135301] $9.95

Project Life Journaling Pens [135304] $4.95

Cards Labels Project Life Framelits Dies [135707] $24.95

Basic Black 12 X 12 Smooth Card Stock [124267] $5.95

Purchase these and other Stampin’ Up! Supplies in  my ONLINE STORE.

 . . . to make these pages!  My first album tells the story of my Stampin' Up! journey . . .

Once I discovered Stampin' Up!, I hosted a party or two almost every year! This is one of the last ones, and I ended up teaching the projects, too, as my demo couldn't make it due to bad weather! January 2011.

After having many demonstrators tell me I should join the SU! family, I took the plunge in October 2011 and signed on as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator under Dawn Olchefske and joined her DOstamperSTARS team. These photos show my first Holiday Open House in my home, November 2011

My first vendor show - I represented Stampin' Up! and my own creative business, CLOcards - held in Delano, MN ( 3rd Annual Delano Craft and Vendor Holiday Fair) November 2011

Right after the holidays, I held a Birthday Sale-a-Bration party to introduce the new Sale-a-Bration products. January 2012

My first CLOclub had 3 members - June, Joy, and Lisa. Love love LOVE those gals! Here is one of our classtimes together - along with my future daughter-in-law as a guest! March 2012.

NOTE:  I print my photos at Digital 4x5.3 so that the tops/bottoms don't get cropped off. To fill the photo pockets, I cut a lot of 4x6 black cardstock pieces and slid those in first. 

I'm glad I tried out this photo organization system by Project Life for the first time - LOVE the ease and speed of getting my photos into an album!  I created everything you see above in a couple hours!  Of course, I still need to add some journaling and a few embellishments!  Absolutely anyone can put together cute photo albums with Project Life products. 

Now that the new Stampin' Up! Annual 2014-15 Catalog is live, there are a WHOLE LOT MORE Project Life products to choose from. See them all in my Online Store!

Got PHOTOS?? Get PROJECT LIFE!! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

MY Paper Pumpkin - Get YOURS Today!

I've told you a lot about Paper Pumpkin, so today I want to show you some pics of my first Paper Pumpkin creation AND a couple pics of the newest June Paper Pumpkin Kit.

What IS it?

• like any monthly subscription or club, Paper Pumpkin comes to you automatically each month.
• it's a cute box, delivered right to your door, containing all the stamps, inks, and precut supplies you need AND step-by-step instructions to make an easy project.
• no prep, no fuss, no mess - just you, the PP kit, and a whole lot of fun.
• an opportunity to both relax and renew as you craft
• the chance to encourage others by sharing your creations with them!

Why do I LOVE it?

• Paper Pumpkin comes right to my mailbox - I don't have to go pick it up or remember to order it.
• the supplies are top-quality, and recent kits have way more products included than ever before.
• even when my projects are created, I have stamps and ink spots I can keep and use again.
• the projects are cute and simple - anyone will have fun and success with them!
• great for kids, grandkids, daycares, clubs, Scouts, 4H-ers, newbie crafters, seasoned crafters, etc.
• I can relax and create without having to scour the Internet for ideas or gather up the supplies - I can just sit down with my PP box, scissors and adhesive - and have some crafting time.
• I can create great projects just the way they are shown, or I can step them up and add some of my own extra touches - either way is great, depending on my energy level or creativity that day.
• when the projects are made, I often have some leftovers I can use to make a few more cards.
• it's like going to a crafting class someone ELSE planned - I just get to enjoy!

Here are the pics of my first Paper Pumpkin Kit - simple, but I really liked the no-stress fun of creating something quick and cute!

All the supplies and instructions come in a shrink-wrapped package, wrapped in tissue inside a cute storage box.

This card took me only a few minutes to create - everything was diecut and self-adhering except for the button, and there were Gluedots for that!

I added the extra kraft punchout from another kit - fun to use up other leftovers!

The June Paper Pumpkin Kit includes enough supplies to make 24 of these cute pinwheels - you can see Dawn Griffith's creations below.

 And here's another idea I found on Pinterest - fun, huh?!

There are 2 ways to get Paper Pumpkin delivered to YOU!  

• You can choose to prepay for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, or . . .
• You can subscribe month-by-month - you are charged automatically, and you can skip a month or cancel at any time.

Enjoy a prepaid once-a-month delivery of Stampin' Up!’s subscription kit program. Each month a fully designed project kit arrives in an adorable box filled with stamps, ink, and paper–everything cut and ready to go.  You can order these from me!  Just email me or order in my Online Store.  After you order, you’ll receive a code via e-mail, which you can use to redeem your subscription at www.mypaperpumpkin.com.
