- Paper Pumpkin kit makes cute treat bags
- Sign up for the Oct 5 Card Class
I'm having fun with my Paper Pumpkin kit this month, making these cute treat Halloween treat bags. This year's monthly kits include more product for the same price and often refills are available. I've already purchased two more refills for my September kit so I'll have plenty of treat bags for little buggers stopping by our home during All Saints Eve!

Here's a look at the 8 cards we'll be making. Everyone needs a stash of general cards to have on hand for different occasions. Spend a fun afternoon with snacks, chats, and making these cards.

This collection of cards uses a variety of the new designer papers, the new In-colors, and new rubber stamp sets, polymer set, which I'm beginning to favor more and more, and new punches, dies, and embossing folder.
Here's a close up of one of the cards we'll make. This raised flower card is made with vellum, new ribbons and designer papers. The center is a silver Candy Dot base brad painted gold with a marker to match the gold dots in the designer paper, and then the brad was embellished with a pearl center.

| Flower Frenzy Bigz L Die |
Start by using Pink Pirouette and a brayer, Brayer ink onto white velum card stock. Once dry, we'll use the Flower Frenzy Bugz L Die to cut the flowers. The velum card stock can be creased from just about the center of the flower to the tip of the petal with a bone folder and then pinch the velum card stock together, which gives it a slightly raised effect. The big shot die let you cut several flowers at once. Next, all four of the cut flowers used to make one flower fit into the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder for a single run through the embossing machine. Before mounting on the Pink Pirouette base layers, attached the flower to the Whispers White layer so the brad back was hidden.

Do you want to know why I'm able to do classes this year, even with a very busy work schedule? It's because Stampin’ Up! is making it easier and easier for demonstrators and customers to get projects done quickly – just what we need with our busy schedules and lack of storage space for all our supplies.
