Paper Pumpkin Pop Up Blog Hop Broadway Star - June 2018


It’s time for another Pop Up Blog Hop!  This month’s kit has a matching product suite in the Stampin’ Up! catalog; the Broadway Bound Suite.  I know you will see a lot of projects in the hop that use this suite with the kit. 


However, I fell in love with the kit all on its own and could not wait to create a mini scrapbook as soon as I saw the fun envelopes. 


To make the scrapbook you will need a piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock cut to 5 ¾” by 8 ½”.  Score at 5/8” down the short side.  This is the flap that will go over the final envelope.  To keep the bakers twine in place I used a hole punch to create a small half circle divot. 

Trim off the flap of each envelope (I used 5) at 5” as shown in the photo.  I layered them so that approximately two rows of the cute dotted stripe showed past the envelope on top. 

They are adhered to the Lemon Lime Twist card stock using Tear & Tape adhesive. Cut 1 of the dotted Lemon Lime Twist and 2 of the black stripe cards in half and place inside each envelope alternating the colors.  

The last piece of the black is adhered on the back ‘page’ onto the Lemon Lime Twist card stock. Each tab is made from the balloon stickers in the kit. In the video I explained where some of the other details came from.

Below is a close up of all the pages.





Lastly, I made my favorite card!  I saw house while creating the scrapbook when the black ‘marquee’ piece landed on top of one of the Lovely Lipstick rectangular sticker pieces. 

I used two dies from the At Home Framelits (pointed to in the below photo) to create the door and windows.  The door knob is made with one of the included pearls, the color in the windows was made with the light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Marker.  And the sentiment is from the At Home With You stamp set.  The little Lovely Lipstick diamond shapes came from the window and…well…they are there to cover a few oops spots from messy fingers while stampers.


This is all the ‘stuff’ I had left after making my projects.  Plenty more fun to be had, wouldn’t you agree?

Weight Watchers Wednesday - June 2018


My Free-Style Life


Thank you to all of you who have been interested in my Weight Watchers journey.  You’ve been asking me for an update, however, as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator I usually share paper crafting and adding diet information to those posts has felt out of place.  
That being [said] I appreciate the support and know many of you are losing along with me.  So….I am going to dedicate the last Wednesday of the month to updating you on my Weight Watchers Journey. 
Here’s my catch-up video:


Please let me know if you have any questions or just want to share your progress by commenting below.


Until Next time . . . Good Luck & Good Eating!

Lots of Happy Card Kit


I ordered this kit when it came out in last years Stampin’ Up! catalog and fell in love with the cards.  Because the kit comes with a Stamp Set, ink, Watercolor Pencils and all the accessories you are ready to create as soon as you open the box! 

I knew I wanted to decorate the envelopes too!


 I love this unusual hexagon card!

  The note card sizes are great too!
 
While this is not a new product, but one that carried over from the previous catalog, it should not go unnoticed!  It would make a great gift, finished or unfinished, for anyone...but especially for yourself!

Please scroll down to the end of this post and leave a note to let me know your thoughts.  Is there something you’d like me to see me share in the future?  Do you have questions?  Let me know, I’d love to hear from you!

Until Next time . . .
                   Hugs, Karie B.
