Countdown to Christmas - only 3 months to go

Yes, it's the 25th of September - which means only 3 months until Christmas.  I have been giving you ideas of Christmas cards to make every month on the 25th.  But if you didn't take my advice and make a few cards each month - it's not too late to get started.  TOMORROW, September 26, you can stamp a stack of cards at my annual "Get a Jump on Your Jingle" event.  You can choose to make some of the cards shown above or below.  

Here are the details:

August Stamp Club Project

Yes - this is the 3D project we made at my August stamp club meetings - a tea bag treat holder.  I am a little behind on posting my projects because of some end of summer fun and getting back into school/teaching mode.  My "real" job is teaching preschool,  so I took some time at the end of August to relax before I had to go back to the classroom.

This cute little treat bag holds cookies, tea bags, and a 3x3 card - a cute gift to give someone who needs a pick me up.  Or just a nice way to let someone know you are thinking about them.

Below is a side view - if you look closely, you can see two Girl Scout cookies in the bag.  If I was making this for a gift, I would bake my own cookies.  But we used the GS cookies in club - just to get the idea.  The plastic bags are food safe and sold by Stampin' Up!

 

Below is the back of the holder - which can hold one or two tea bags.

And below are two more samples of 3x3 cards that could go in the front pocket.

Just Because

This is the second card we made at my August stamp club classes.  We used the Papillon Potpourri stamp set from Stampin' Up! and the coordinating Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches.  And when you open the card this is what you see inside......

a butterfly cut using the Butterfly Thinlits dies.

These are the kinds of fun cards we made at my monthly classes.  You wouldn't believe how easy this card is to make - unless you come on over to my place and make one for yourself!

Happy Birthday to you!

This is the first card we made at my August stamp club classes.  I saw the idea on Pinterest and prepped it for my BIRTHDAY BASH IN JULY.  I thought it might be a little too detailed for a larger event - so I saved it to make with my stamp club ladies.  I used a retired embossing folder on the border, and some retired Calypso Coral Designer Series Paper for the largest circle.  The butterfly is from the stamp set  Papiillon Potpourri and the greeting is from a past Paper Pumpkin Kit. 

The great thing about having a PAPER PUMPKIN SUBSCRIPTION is that I get an exclusive stamp set (not sold anywhere else) each month, along with everything I need to make fun paper crafting projects.

And what's even more exciting is that right now, through September 10, you can get your first two months at half price.   That's only $9.95 a month- when you use the promo code HALFOFF.  After that the price is only $19.95 a month - and shipping is included,  If you are not happy with the kits you can cancel at any time.

Below is another version of the club card, using different Designer Series Paper and a different greeting from the same Paper Pumkin stamp set.
