December Paper Pumpkin Calendar Alternative

Lynnzcrafters

Hi Friends!

Last week I had my friend Annie over (with a friend) as she wanted to make some crafts for Christmas gifts for her family and friends. You see, Annie’s mom (Karalee) sadly died back in March and I wanted to do something special in her memory. A couple hours after they arrived, my niece and nephew came over to make their Christmas gifts for the family as well. It was so heart-warming to have these young people over making hand-made gifts. I know I will forever treasure mine, and I’m sure all the recipients will as well.

I showed Annie my most recent Paper Pumpkin kit, from this month. I offered a kit to her and she asked if she could do embossing instead of “plain stamping”… it’s so funny, I think I showed her how to emboss about 8 or 9 years ago, and it is still her favorite stamping technique. Well, here is Annie’s 2019-20 calendar. We found it amazing that this 18 month calendar ends in June 2020, which is when Annie will graduate from High School! Shout out to my friend Diana Gibbs for the idea of using this stand up frame to showcase this super cute calendar! Love it! Here is a link to her original post: https://www.stampingwithdi.com/2018/12/2019-paper-pumpkin-calendar.html

The colors may be hard to see, but she heat embossed the January page with silver snowflakes from Alpine Adventure stamp set (item #147742)  and the “2019” numbers came from the Labeler Alphabet Photopolymer stamp set (item #141936 from the Annual Catalog).

the little circle stamp came with the Paper Pumpkin kit, and then Annie added the Happy Valentine’s and small hearts from a new stamp set that is in the new Occasions Catalog that launches on January 3rd called “Meant to Be” (bonus it is a bundle with matching hearts and stitched hearts framelits/dies!!)

For the month of March, she embossed in gumball green (a retired embossing powder I had in my stash) using a soon to be released new stamp set called “Amazing Life” on page 28 in the 2019 Occasions catalog.

Annie loved this phrase from the new cling mount stamp set “Beauty Abounds” on page 13 of the 2019 Occasions Catalog, this is a lovely bundle with amazing butterfly and floral images and dies! (yes- it’s a bundle- must have on your wish list for sure!!) She used Gold embossing powder on this month.

Here is one of the beautiful butterfly images from Beauty Abounds as well, embossed with retired pool party embossing powder.

For the month of June, Bike Ride Photopolymer Stamp Set item #143716 was used and embossed in Gold embossing powder.

July and August were stamped with some summer fun images from a now retired stamp set and retired tangerine tango and crushed curry embossing powder.

Annie stamped the apple outline stamp from Bike Ride and heat embossed with basic black embossing powder, then colored in the apples with Real Red and Shaded Spruce Alcohol markers- Blends!

For October, she used the same basic black embossing powder and colored in the pumpkin image from Seasonal Chums Clear-Mount Stamp Set item #144948 and used pumpkin pie and shaded spruce blends.

These cute gold leaves were embossed from the Bike Ride stamp set.

Annie used the Rudolf and Merry Christmas stamps from Seasonal Chums and embossed in basic black, colored in with blends.

For 2020, the January-May months were the same theme/colors as 2019, but for June 2020, Annie used some of my long-retired (Stampin’ Up!) graduation stamps.

My First Creative Christmas Crafty Retreat!

Lynnzcrafters

Hi there friends, I wanted to share photos of my first retreat I held yesterday at the Elks club lodge in Ballston Lake, New York.

Let me give you the backstory, part of the training program I have been a part of for almost 3 years, encourages us to hold a creative retreat. I wanted to see one in action before I tried it myself so back in August I went with my friend Elizabeth to go to Massachusetts to Selene Kempton’s retreat. I got a lot of great ideas and saw it in action, and while I was there everyone encouraged me to plan my own. With only one free Saturday on my calendar for the month of November I came home from Selene’s retreat eager to plan my first one. Everything came together and I feel so blessed. The day I had available was yesterday, Saturday, November 17, which was the 2nd anniversary of when my sweet mother went to heaven. I know she was with me and helped everything to go so smoothly.

I first invited my team, I have 30 downline that was my starting point. I knew I only wanted to have 30 people at my first one. Not everyone could attend so then I opened it up to some great friends who I thought would enjoy attending an all day event like this. I had 25 people pre-register, and unfortunately one was sick the day of the event but we made her all the projects.

I had these canvas tote bags made up as I wanted everyone to have something to take all their prizes in projects home in. Everyone received one package of the festive farmhouse Christmas DSP, the striped burlap ribbon, and a package of metallic pearls. My theme was farmhouse Christmas and I wanted everything to coordinate. When I was shopping on Amazon for the wood slice ornaments I even found a T-shirt to match my theme so I had to get it for myself.

I don’t know if you can see in this photo but there is a fabric coaster for under their hot cocoa mug that I made, the Santa scissor charm I made with Shrinky dink material (I cased from Carol Hickman), the wood slice ornament I had help from my friends/team Kara and Laurie, and you can see all the Stampin’ Up! products that were included in this event as well as all eight projects we made.

In the first two photos, the gift card holders, I modified these from the projects we made at Selenes’s retreat. I love the simple idea of decorating our gold striped bag, and our Kraft pillow boxes, I just used the farmhouse theme to spruce it up for my event.

In the third picture, I would like to thank my friend and downline Amye Speirs for designing that card for me.

The fourth photo, with the sled, I just cased the catalog.

The fifth photo with the mini tea light lantern, I modified the tutorial from Allison Okamitsu, and her blog is called Nice People Stamp, she’s a wonderful demonstrator from Canada and her directions were perfect. I just changed the paper and ribbon to match my theme.

The little joy stocking was from November 2017 paper pumpkin kit, unfortunately it’s sold out now but I bought a bunch back in September to use for this event.

The last two photos showcase our beautiful mini gable boxes one is in silver and the other is a shimmery white. I just created these two designs using the farmhouse DSP & wanted this to be fun treat holders, I had candy on every table that people could take to fill their little boxes.

 

I did not have very much money to spend on decorations after ordering all the supplies needed for these projects and the little goodie bags. So my wonderful sister-in-law Kathy loaned me all her farmhouse Decor so I could decorate the tables at check-in and where we ate our meals.

We had a little hot cocoa station, I had a lending library set up where people could borrow my stamps, dies, and punches as well as the big shot set up.

I rotated the projects to each table every half an hour so they could comfortably stay at their seat and I then returned all the projects to a table in the back if anybody arrived late and needed to go make their projects- they had the rest of the day to complete their projects.

Everyone received one raffle ticket for attending the event, I also gave raffle tickets every time they finished five projects they brought to work on, I gave one raffle ticket for each $10 they purchased from me from my retired table or my adhesives, or a catalog order they placed with me. Then I had five bundles of wonderful product and they put the raffle tickets inside the bag of the items they hope to win. I also sold raffle tickets individually, or an arm length for $20. I drew the winners at about 8 PM,  Kara won the Stamparatus, Jessica won the farmhouse Christmas bundle, Amye won the alpine snow Bundle, Jackie won the Snow is Glistening bundle, and Linda won the Winter Woods bundle. I used all the hostess rewards, and my commission on the sale of all the products I ordered for this event as the prizes.

I arranged for my wonderful friend Wendy to come and do chair massages, 19 people enjoyed a relaxing massage, poor Wendy was exhausted after four hours, I am so thankful she was able to come and I know everyone enjoyed their massage! Thanks friend! 😘

I have to say the food was delicious, and I’m so thankful to Mike Bloss from the Clifton Park Elks, what a fantastic job he did and we really enjoyed the spread for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I only remembered to take pictures of the lunch buffet but the set up was the same. It was really nice to get up from our crafting table to go to the lunch table.

It just warms my heart to see this room full of special ladies who came out and supported me with my first retreat, everyone shared an 8 foot table, and we had them all near the walls so they could plug in their lights or electronics.

I had some ordering specials for my attendees, and will be placing their orders today. I also still need to unpack my car and now get ready for bingo next week. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who attended, all my helpers, most especially my team for joining Lynnzcrafters and coming out to this event yesterday!

Thank you for taking the time to read this blog post today, I would love to hear from you! What was your favorite project? Would you like to attend an event like this? This was a 12 hour day, we were open from 9 AM to 9 PM… Although we did close up a little early last night everyone was fatiguing myself included.

Please leave me a comment, I am going to do a giveaway I have an extra canvas bag from this event and I will send it to one lucky winner who leaves a comment on this post by Wednesday 11/21 at 6 PM.

I’m Sorry….

Lynnzcrafters

I’m sorry that I haven’t posted in a while, the past 3 weeks have been difficult as my sweet mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to her stomach. During her week long hospital stay, in addition to biopsies, she had a chemo power port put in and today started her weekly chemo treatments. My family and I are so thankful for the wonderful doctors, nurses, friends and family who have been so positive and helpful.  I needed to cancel several card classes, swaps, blog hops and team get togethers these past 3 weeks so I could spend time with my family. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I know it will be a long and challenging road, but with our faith, family and each other, we will travel this path together. I have had no real desire (up until today) to even go in my craft room. But after talking to my mom about how chemo went today, she was full of funny stories and no side effects (yet). So tonight I made some cards, planned my club for this weekend, and decided to write a blog post.

I went online to the Stampin’ Up! website today to catch up on some updates and wanted to pass on some news to you:

Card Making at the Senior Center & Blog Candy Give Away!

Lynnzcrafters


Good morning stamping friends! I hope you have had a great week! Do you have fun plans for the weekend? Tomorrow we will be traveling to Syracuse to celebrate Mother’s Day with my family- looking forward to it, we have a lovely brunch at a restaurant called Justin’s Tuscan Grill and then hopefully if the weather cooperates we will head to a local park to visit and hang out together! I don’t want to show you my Mother’s Day cards/projects yet- so be sure to come back on Monday to see my creations.

Today I want to share with you four cards that I did last week at my monthly card class at a local senior center. Shout out to my friend and downline Brigid, she volunteers to come each month and help me with this class. Thanks so much Brigid!

This sweet card is one of two projects you can make from your March 2016 paper pumpkin kit! This kit made four cards of this size, and four gift card holders simply adorable!

 

Because I love my paper pumpkin kit so much, and I’d love to put one in your hands, because I have this prepaid gift card, I am issuing a blog candy challenge, leave me a comment about why you want a kit (what you would use it for, who you might create with, any comment about these fun kits). Be sure to leave a comment on this thread here on my blog, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a spot where you can leave a comment. Be sure to leave a comment by Tuesday, May 10 at 5 PM. I will draw one winner using a random number generator, and I will contact the winner between 8 and 9 PM to redeem this kit I will need your contact info.

This card showcases the free stamp set Stampin’ Up! gifted to us in our April 2016 paper pumpkin kit. The stamp set is called “All About Everything” and it is just gorgeous. I came up with this flower pot design to showcase a flat and simple card. What do you think? Those outgoing in colors just really pop, I used Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, blackberry bliss, and hello honey. Did you stock up on these colors before they retire?

This simple card showcases three products that are carrying over to the next catalog, so glad the kit called water color wishes is carrying over, also happy about the botanical blooms set, and timeless textures from the Occasions catalog!!

This fun card is perfect for that special guy, unfortunately this stamp set called “going global” is retiring, if you want this set, you must order it by May 31!!

Here are a couple variations of this card with other sentiments.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!! I hope you have a wonderful day, don’t forget to leave me a comment if you want to be entered to win one free paper pumpkin kit! (This contest is open to everyone, my downline, customers, other demonstrators, and friends!)

Kids crafts, Kits!, Paper Pumpkin, Stampin Up

Paper Pumpkin is 3 years Old!

Lynnzcrafters

ppis3 pic

Hi there stamping friends! Can you believe it has been THREE years since Stampin’ Up! launched their very successful arts & crafts kit of the month club (in the mail)?? I remember being with some of my stamping sisters at a Leadership event in Orlando, Florida when they gave us the first two kits ever created. (in January 2013)…Although we were wondering how the name “Paper Pumpkin” came to be- it doesn’t have anything pumpkin oriented in the kit… but they explained it was like a magical escape (like Cinderella at the ball), well doesn’t matter what they called it,  we were lucky to have the sneak peek then and boy am I glad I stuck with PP as they have gotten better and better every month!

They are always photopolymer stamps- which is awesome (clear, easily sticks on your blocks, can line up images perfectly). An ink spot (or two) and all the paper supplies are included to complete the kit as is, or feel free to experiment and make alternative projects. You may need scissors or wet glue to complete some of the projects/card kits.

I have a facebook group for anyone who wants to join, that has lots of great alternate ideas. There are also Pinterest boards and tons of ideas out there. These kits are popular with my customers of all ages, I have some who order the kit and do them with their children or grandchildren, some who are just starting out and find this is a perfect way to start with stamping, and of course I enjoy taking them to my card classes at the Senior Center. It also makes a great gift too!

  • In your first kit as a brand new subscriber, you will receive a “D” size block for free as a welcome to the club.
  • You can “skip”, “increase the quantity” or cancel your subscription at any time.
  • Refills of past kits often go on sale to subscribers only (usually the Tuesday following the shipment dates of the monthly kit).
  • If you purchase the three month subscription prepaid today (and redeem the code in the email that will be auto-sent to you by midnight tonight), then not only will you get March, April and May kits, but the three month subscription is on sale for only $55, and you get to pick a free Saleabration item too!

Why am I talking about Paper Pumpkin today? Well, it’s the LAST day to sign up to get this special commemorative teal blue birthday box and I bet there will be some super cute projects to celebrate the kit’s third birthday!

Ready to order?  Just click the photo below, for one, three, six or twelve month subscription. The photo is linked to my online store, you just order, and then remember to go to your email and REDEEM the code to get this month’s kit!

 

(I’m not sure why the $55 sale price isn’t showing up on this graphic, but BELIEVE me, it’s on sale, just click the photo and it will take you to my online store).
Are there some past kits you are interested in as well? Once you subscribe, you can order any of these past kits or refill kits, click the photo to head to my store and see what is available:

Lynnzcrafters

IMG_6291I know, two posts in two days- I promise it’s not going to be a daily thing… but I forgot to add in my blog post last night that TODAY- Saturday October 10th- is the LAST chance (by midnight) to sign up for this month’s PINK box of Arts and Crafts goodies in the mail! This subscription program is called Paper Pumpkin, but there’s nothing pumpkin about it- it is an awesome kit of supplies that varies each month (always a fun surprise in the mail)! Everything you will need (except scissors) is included for just $19.95 (plus tax).

Here is the custom link that will take you directly to my website and here’s how to order:

https://mypaperpumpkin.com?demoid=2043263

(this link will get you right to my store and I will get credit for your subscription).

  • Once on the website, click the word “join” on the top right side of the page
  • You will see a new screen, there is no promo code to type in, so just click the word “continue”
  • Next you will fill in your address (shipping information)- this is where you want the kit mailed/shipped to.
  • Then click “continue”.
  • On the next screen you type in your credit card info.
  • *now look back up under your shipping info screen and there is a spot to “change your password”-
  • [You want to type a password in, this is your own password for your account, that you will use next time you log into the website -if you want to pause or end your subscription].
  • Then click “continue”- you will see a final screen to verify and place your order.

Please contact me if you have any difficulty or would like me to place the order for you.

I don’t mind talking on the phone and I can enter the info in for you, if you’d like.

Paper Pumpkin

Stamp Out Breast Cancer!

Lynnzcrafters

  
To show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Paper Pumpkin boxes are going PINK for the month of October! And, Stampin’ Up! will make a donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The best part — Paper Pumpkin subscribers will determine the amount of the donation!
For those of you who don’t know, paper pumpkin is the name of our adorable monthly arts and crafts kit that comes in the mail with everything you need to complete the cards or projects.

  
Stampin’ Up! will donate:  

  • ​$1 for every active Paper Pumpkin subscriber.
  • Plus, an additional $1 for every new subscriber who signs up by October 10. 
  •  That means $2 for every NEW subscriber!

Wondering how to get started?

  • Subscribe by clicking here: www.paperpumpkin.com and be sure to type in my name as your demonstrator (Lynn Streifert). You will earn rewards points from me for every month you are active (good towards adhesives, classes, etc). (These reward points are in lieu of the monthly paper pumpkin party I used to offer all my subscribers as attendance was dwindling and I wanted to reward those who stayed active with paper pumpkin even if I couldn’t offer an event). 
  • Or I can help you order a monthly subscription on one of my orders- if you’re new to Paper Pumpkin you can receive a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month subscriptions. 
  • Your first kit will arrive in a limited-edition pink box that you’ll want to hold onto forever-and Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 because you’re new!
  • Stay active if you’re a current subscriber so Stampin’ Up! can donate $1 for you. Only those who receive the October shipment will be counted for the donation.
  • Help spread the word! Let’s all rally for new Paper Pumpkin subscribers to raise as much for this cause as possible.

More About the Breast Cancer Research Foundation 

BCRF is a world-class organization, dedicated to ending breast cancer and Stampin’ Up! is excited to be teaming up with them to make this happen. Their mission is to advance the world’s most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. To learn about more ways to help, please visit www.bcrfcure.org. 

Additional Details: 

  • New subscribers are those who signed up between September 11 and October 10, 2015 and have not been a Paper Pumpkin subscriber at any time in the past. (Stampin’ Up! tracks you by your email address) 
  • All funds will be donated in US dollars.
  • Mini spoiler alert! The October project inside the pink box is just as awesome as always, but according to Stampin’ Up!, it is NOT a pink project.
  • Funds will be donated based on number of subscribers instead of boxes shipped. But, if you want more than one pink box, you can always increase your subscription quantity by logging into your account at PaperPumpkin.com before October 10.

What a worthy cause and I’m so proud to be a part of the Stampin’ Up! family! Do you want to join me in helping to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer? I hope to hear from you!! 

*And don’t forget I’m excepting registrations for my team and I are offering a card making event called Fall Fest on Saturday, October 3 (at the burnt Hills United Methodist Church from 2 to 5 PM ) I will be posting photos tomorrow and a registration form hope you can make it!

Have a wonderful day!
