2012 was an amazing year at Pumpkin Spice. Lots of exciting changes and adventures.

There were some rollercoaster moments as well and all of these fabulous ladies waded through the mud with me.

I adore each of you, your loyalty has meant the world to me.

We will be saying goodbye to some. You will be missed.  I wish you all the best in your next adventures and I will be "watching you". :)

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration from Saundra ~ Tags

Hi There! It's Saundra from Luv Scrapping Together!
 
I am back with more inspiration from Shop Pumpkin Spice.
 
Today I bring several Christmas tags I created with items from the "Winterland Fun" Kit.
 
 
The only thing that is not part of the kit is my solid green paper.
 
My daughter needed some tags for some Christmas gifts so I set to make the tags as she requested. The first tag had to be pretty. So this is what I came up with.

 
 
I cut this tag from the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge. The poinsettia comes from the Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge. I cut the petal layer 3 times, layered it, then added one of the flowers that comes in the kit. To that, I added some Frosted Lace Stickles, card candy dot, and topped it with Glossy accents. I attached this beautiful ribbon. All of the embellishments are in the kit plus so much more!

 
For this tag, I cut the base from Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and the gift from Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge. Again, I added some Frosted Lace Stickles and card candy. The sentiment is from MPS Birthday Doodles stamp set (retired).  As you can see, I was mimicking the wrapping paper and I think I did a good job!

 
This last tag is one that matches the wrapping paper. I cut the 2 circles and the red snowflake from Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge. This one was really simple. All I really needed to do was pop it up and add some card candy and it was finished.
 
You can still purchase the "Winterland Fun" kit. Just head on over the Shop Pumpkin Spice Store and snatch it up before it is gone!
 
This is my last 2012 post for Shop Pumpkin Spice. I will be back for another year with Denine and all the 2013 design team girls in January. Look for some great new stuff happening here on the blog.
 
Have a Merry Christmas, Everyone!
 
Until next time...
Happy Crafting!

Some Pumpkin Spice Inspiration with Saundra ~ Cards

Hi There! Saundra here from Luv Scrapping Together!
 
Today and tomorrow I will be sharing projects that I have made with the December Kit "Winterland Fun."
 
For my first project, I created this elegant Christmas card that I made for my husband's parents.
 
 
The papers and embellishments in this kit make it possible to make beautiful cards.


The tree was created with my Cuttlebug using the Lace Tree folder. I cut the frame from Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and ran that through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder.

I had some adheasive pearls in my stash so I used those to embellish the tree and I added some bling from My Mind's Eye "Fine and Dandy Girl."

There are still a few  "Winterland Fun" kits available!

Just look at all you get in this kit!

 
There is tons to play with here.
 
In fact, here's another card I made earlier this month with this kit.
 
 
Isn't this card fun!
 
I hope you enjoyed my project today.
 
I will see you tomorrow with more from this kit.
 
Until next time...
Happy Crafting!

Some Pumpkin Spice Daily Inspiration with June - Shape Cards


  Hi!  This is June Houck with a couple of shape cards to hopefully inspire your creativity today.

  I was perusing my Cricut cartridges and my newest cartridge, "Designer's Calendar" has a mitten cut on p.28 (January).  All I needed was my December "Winterland Fun" kit from Shop Pumpkin Spice...just add adhesive!  My sentiment is actually some washi tape included in the kit as well as the silver seam binding, twine, paper button, glossy accents (used on paper button), and the stickles (mitten "fur".)

  Also included in the kit are lots of Candi Dots...I thought these would make terrific cupcake sprinkles, so I cut a 5" cupcake from p.60 of my Cricut "Straight From the Nest" cartridge:


 Both cards are 100% from the "Winterland Fun" kit; even the Stickles "Frosted Lace" that I used on both cards are included in the kit.

I hope you enjoyed my shape cards.  Thanks for stopping by!  June

Some Pumpkin Spice Daily Inspiration with June - Cards

Hi, this is June Houck with some Shop Pumpkin Spice inspiration.


Look what I made with my
The kit includes the Stickles I used on the icing and the Glossy Accents on the cherry, as well as all of the papers.  All of these flowers and this gorgeous brad and paper are included too:
I have to admit I have amassed more than a dozen kits in the past year.  I have made at least 4 projects from each kit I own, and yet there are still tons of supplies left to play with...love that!

The December 2012 "Winterland Fun" kit at Shop Pumpkin Spice is definitely at the top of my favorite kits.  Check it out:
Two 6x6 pads (Carta Bella and My Mind's Eye), an assortment of brads, primes, washi tape, twine, seam binding, Stickles, die cuts, card stock, and more for only $24.95 (and FREE SHIPPING for orders over $50 to US residents.)  Drool...for more inspiration using this kit, please check out the Shop Pumpkin Spice blog.

I hope you will treat yourself to this kit.

Both my husband and my favorite brother-in-law (James) have December birthdays, so I needed a thank you card for my hottie husband to write for his birthday gifts and a birthday card to send to James.

My stamped sentiments both came from the "Girlie Doodles" stamp set.  I have used these two sentiments in particular countless times; I find they work very well for masculine cards.  For the birthday card I also used another color of crinkle ribbon from Shop Pumpkin Spice.  The cupcake is from the "Sweet Treats" Cricut cartridge p. 27 cut @ 3".
  Earlier this month I used this kit to create some fun winter-themed cards to use as either a Christmas card or a Christmas thank you card :

I hope you found this post helpful; Shop Pumpkin Spice is my favorite online store.

I will be back tomorrow with more kit inspiration.

Happy Monday!  June
