Stamp. Scrap. Color: Congratulations

Have you signed up for Paper Pumpkin yet? These monthly kits are awesome! Even better, sign up for a monthly subscription by September 10 and you can get your first two months at HALF OFF! You can get the details HERE in my store.

This great gift bag is from the February 2014 Paper Pumpkin kit called "In the Bag." In addition to the nice kraft bags, the kit includes the stamps to color the star burst medallions in dots and stripes, as well as a Pistachio Pudding inkspot. The baker's twine, all die cut shapes, ribbon and mini-clothespins are also included. Tons of materials and directions to boot.

Of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone, so I added some stamping from my collection to dress up the bag even more. That's what is so great about these kits! You can make a great project you can be proud of just following the included directions, or make it your own by changing it up a bit.

I stamped Bordering Blooms along the bottom edge of the bag with Pistachio Pudding and Bermuda Bay Classic Stampin' Ink Pads. The Stamped sentiment is from Bravo. I selected to hang the word "Hooray" from the baker's twine to complete the congratulatory message.

Best of all, the whole project took less than 20 minutes! Definitely a winner.

Happy Monday, everyone. It is starting to get hot and humid again here in the upper Midwest, so I spent the day in my crafty room cleaning up and getting ready to hold some workshops. More on that later this week. I did mange to do some creating also.

Today's card is a fun and simple congratulations card, perfect for any number of occasions. The big sentiment comes from the Bravo stamp set. It was stamped with Versamark onto Blackberry Bliss cardstock and then embossed with white embossing powder. I just love that blackberry bliss. I cut the cardstock with the banners framelits as well as two mats cut from the lovely Park Lane Designer Series Paper. If you haven't seen it already, the DSP is buy three get one free throughout the month of July. What a great deal!

The card base is made from blackberry bliss cardstock with a panel of another design of Park Lane DSP. The matted banner was attached with dimensionals to give it some pop.

Inside I adhered a panel of Park Lane in a lighter color to make writing the greeting easier. Another sentiment from Bravo was stamped in blackberry bliss ink and the panel was decorated with the ends that were left over from the cutting of the banner.

Thanks for stopping by today, and be sure to keep the evening of August 25 open. You aren't going to want to miss the goings-on that night!
