Looking for the perfect Mother's Day gift?

Do you have a Mom that likes to craft but just doesn't feel like she has the time? I have the perfect Mother's Day gift for any crafty, or not so crafty, lady in your life. A prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscription.

Why is this the perfect gift? Each Paper Pumpkin comes in an exciting red box so you know there is a surprise waiting. You get exclusive stamps that are not available to purchase through Stampin' Up! It includes instructions on how to create that months project and has everything you need in the box.  Each project only takes about 30 minutes to complete so it is not something that is going to take a ton of your Mom's precious time. For the ladies that are already crafty, it is a great way to inspire and you can use all of the pieces in your own projects. The best part is that it is only $19.95 per month and that includes shipping. 

You can purchase 1 month, 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscriptions. So how much do you love your Mom?

It is a sad and exciting time with Stampin' Up! The list of retiring products has just been released which means discounts for you and new product to look forward too. Head over to the shop to see what is moving on out. You can get up to 50% off. That is a huge savings. You have to act quickly though, everything is only available while supplies last until June 2nd. Click here for the PDF of the retiring product list.

One of my favorites that is retiring is the Label Love Bundle. I used it to create my Clean Confetti Card.

Clean Confetti Card

Hello Friends!

 I hope you enjoy this tutorial, my first for this blog, for what I like to call the Clean Confetti Card. I don't know about you but I LOVE getting a card in the mail, just not one filled with confetti. I love that whomever sent me the card was thoughtful enough to send me a card in the first place but the confetti gets everywhere. I have found that stuff in some pretty scary places. In fact, I'm pretty sure most people don't like getting confetti/glitter in the mail since that was the idea behind a joke business (shipyourenemiesglitter.com) that went viral practically over night. So that, my friends, is why we have the Clean Confetti Card!

No fallout from this beauty!

The gorgeous card above was created with the Big Day (139109) stamp set and Blendabilities. What are Stampin' Blendabilities Markers? They are alcohol based markers that are super easy to blend. Each set comes with 3 shades to make blending a breeze. Since the markers are alcohol based they won't make your paper pill like other markers.  Make a $50.00 purchase before March 31st and try them for free!

What is a Paper Pumpkin?

Paper Pumpkin is a fantastic papercraft subscription service provided by Stampin' Up!® It is $19.95/month, which includes shipping.

What is so great about Paper Pumpkin?

Everything.

Once a month this fun red box arrives at your door. Each month is a complete surprise as to what is inside. Even though it is a surprise I guarantee it will include fun! 

The brilliant people at Stampin' Up! did one better. The first Paper Pumpkin you receive will include an acrylic stamp block. So you don't have to have any craft supplies to get started with Paper Pumpkin. It is all in there for you to jump in and create. The instructions are included but you can also create your own fun items using what has been provided in the kit. Have you tried other prepaid subscriptions but felt stuck with it? You don't have to feel trapped in the membership because you can skip a month or cancel at anytime for any reason(to cancel/skip for the current month you must do so prior to the 11th of the month, skipping/canceling after the 11th will go into effect for the next month). Think you might want to try it out? Click the image below.
