A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop for May Good Things Grow

Thank you for hopping over to my blog from Candy's! Weren't her projects cute? I will admit... this month's kit just wasn't my style. But I have plenty of customers who love the vintage look, so I know it was well loved by many... 

What it required me to do was break outside the box quite a bit. For my card I actually used one of the lovely free Tutti Frutti Sale-a-bration notecards! You get 20 cards and envelopes free with a $50 order, but only through Saturday and then my favorite time of the Stampin' Up! year is over... Sadness. (I love free stuff!)

I will say this, I fell in love with the little brads! We used to carry them in the annual catalog and when they retired I might have hoarded a few boxes of them (ssssshhhhhh....) Plus, that Fresh Fig ribbon is LUSCIOUS!! 

Now, my customers get a free add-on project from me and I knew I wanted to share my Perfectly Posh Hand Creme with them this month, just so they know I love them! I made this perfectly sized bag by die-cutting just the one small flap of the Mini Treat Bag dies twice and the adhering them together with our Tear n Tape. I stamped the sentiment on the wood piece with the included Early Espresso ink. Cute right??

Make sure you keep hopping right along! I am #10, so next up is Pam Staples! I can't wait to see what she has whipped up!

And don't forget that this month and next, if you don't already subscribe, you can get half off your kit by using the phrase SAVEFIFTY0418. (Plus, if you pick me as your demonstrator, I send you a monthly add-on project. Who doesn't love happy mail?)

Happy crafting,
​Melissa
