Hey There Friend Cards

Stampin' Up! has a fantastic promotion going on right now for new My Paper Pumpkin (MPP) subscribers.  Enroll in MPP by Feb. 10 and get a FREE set of 2012-14 In Color Markers.  For a complete explanation of all you'll get with this deal, see the MY PAPER PUMPKIN PROMOTION page.

Here's a card I made using the stamps that come in the MPP Welcome Kit.  I think the "hey there friend" stamp is really cute and I just love the splotches (for lack of a better word).  They add that finishing touch.  I also used the new Arrow Embossing Folder and Word Bubbles Framelits.

I embossed the words with Gold Embossing Powder.  Here's a close-up so you can see how cool it looks.

 

And here's a close-up of the new Gold Baker's Twine, which is in the Occasions catalog.  See how sparkly the gold thread is?

Here's another card I made.  It was quick and easy to put together.  Since it doesn't have any frills and is in darker colors it would be good for a guy.  I know I sometimes struggle for masculine cards.  Besides the exclusive MPP stamps, I only used three other items - Night of Navy Cardstock, Tangerine Tango Cardstock, and Night of Navy Ink.

I also posted a flip card made with these stamps.  See it here.

Each month, the MPP kit comes with exclusive stamps and you have to be enrolled to get them.  Go to the My Paper Pumpkin website to join.  Make sure to choose me (Sue Root, Raleigh, NC) to be your demonstrator.  I have planned a My Paper Pumpkin Party so we can get together to assemble our cards.  I'll have a bonus card for you to make at the party and samples to give you other ideas for the stamps.

Hey There Flip Card

We'll be making this flip card in my classes later this week.  The stamps on the front are from the My Paper Pumpkin Welcome Kit.  These cute stamps are only available by subscribing to My Paper Pumpkin (MPP).

Subscribe to MPP by February 10th and you'll get a FREE pack of 2012-14 In Color Markers ($14.95 catalog price) along with your kit.  Everyone who signs up for MPP and chooses me as their demonstrator will be invited to a Paper Pumpkin Party.  We'll assemble the cards and there will even be a bonus card.  Details will be posted soon.  Did I mention the Welcome Kit comes with a size D Acrylic Bock ($8.50)?  This promotion is a great deal!  Sign up for it here.  Remember to choose me as your demonstrator.  Read more about MPP here.

When the card is closed, you see the front message.  The above picture is of the card as it's being opened.  The front is embossed with the Big Shot and the Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The ribbon is Daffodil Delight Seam Binding, which is on sale this week.  The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the Patterns Paper Stack - Brights.

Below the card is flipped open.  Lots of different sentiments would go with the Hey Friends stamp on the front.  I chose thinking of you from Teeny Tiny Wishes

The lighting isn't as good in this one, but you can see the front circle a little better.  Both stamps are from the MPP Welcome Kit.  The Daffodil Delight piece was die cut using The Circle Framelits.  The stamped piece was cut using Starburst Sayings.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  If you'd like to make this card, along with a cute 3-d Shamrock with Hershey's Kisses, and this card, you can still sign up for the classes later this week.

I also entered this card in the Late Night Stampers Challenge , which was to use a die or framelit.
