October Paper Pumpkin alternatives

Hello Stampers!  Every month I receive a Paper Pumpkin kit.  This is a subscription service that Stampin' Up! offers!   It is usually cards, but once in awhile it may be treat bags, boxes, home decor, etc.  I always do up my kit by first creating the projects that it was meant to create.  I then like to have some fun and be creative!

This month's kit was Christmas cards!  Here are the cards that I made:

I also make up a scrapbook page every month too!  Here is this month's page:

After I create all of my projects, I do a Facebook Live on the last Wednesday of the month!  Here it is if you want to take a peek:

 

Here is my link if you want to receive your own Paper Pumpkin kit every month! 

https://www.paperpumpkin.com/en-us/sign-up/?demoid=77387

The November kit is available until 11/10.  It will be treat bags which I am excited to make into cards and tags!!!

Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions!

Christmas Cards

Hello Stampers!  I wanted to share some Christmas cards with you today.  Every year, the company that my husband works for hires me to make their holiday cards.  I design several cards to give them to choose from.  The only criteria is that they need to be red and fairly simple!  Red is their company color, and simple because they usually request 400 of them!!!

I will share this year's samples on the video.  I also will share some swap cards that I recently received from my team Christmas card swap!  We do a card swap at every one of our meetings.  We choose a theme and them everyone signs up who would like to participate.  For October, our theme was Christmas cards!  There some really fabulous one's this month!!!  You can see them all in the video also!

Here is the video:
