I Stamp Studio and Social Media

Did you know:  I have a Facebook page just for I Stamp Studio!  If you are looking for the latest Stampin' Up! news and specials, this is the place to go. Please LIKE my studio page today.

Did you know:  I'm on Pinterest!  I have lots of boards for cards and other random interests.  Here is the link to my boards.  Be sure to check out the My Cards board. You will see some of the stuff I post here but lots of other stuff too. If you need an invite to Pinterest please let me know and I'll send you one.

Why are some cards posted here and some posted in other places?  No good reason, just depends on what I'm working on at the time.  Someday I will get it all sorted out and have a plan.  I'm open to suggestions in the meantime...

Thanks for checking out the blog today!

January Paper Pumpkin Cards

Here are the cards I made with January's Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up! 
The kit included four cards - which I cut in half so I could make eight cards.  I like a larger size so I cut my cardstock to 9" by 5 3/4".  Then I scored the 9" side at 4 1/2".  When folded, the cards measured 5 3/4" x 4 1/2". 

This was a hard kit for me.  Too many little pieces.  I like my cards to be cleaner.  I put my big girl panties on and went for it though.  I think they turned out ok. I received a freebie bag of In-Color medallions in my kit so I used a couple of those.

I did use some stamps and other stuff that wasn't included in the kit. Nothing wrong with using from my stash.  

Tip:  I know the card accents are self-adhesive but I have found that it is better to add some additional glue.  It may just be climate factors but I have found some coming off if they aren't glued to the cards.  You might not have this problem where you live.  Of course if you are mailing them somewhere else...better glue 'em down.
