Up Up and Away with Just Imagine Crafts

Happy Monday everyone!  I'm excited to start this crafty week off right with a new card for Just Imagine Crafts!  (I'm also excited that Revenge came back last night--how good was that?!?!?)

I'm really happy with how this card turned out.  I used Kreaxions Punch 918 to create the borders on this card. Their four-in-one punches make it super easy to create unique borders, corners and frames.

Be sure to visit the Just Imagine Crafts Blog to see what the other Design Team members have for you this week!  Laters!

A GLEE-duation Card

Good morning.  In fifteen hours, my favorite show will have its season finale.  It's the last of my show's finales not counting the cancelled shows, which I don't.  GLEE is pretty special to me.  I love the music, I love the cast, and even though sometimes it pisses me off more than I can put into words, there are a lot of things in the show that are so real it can at times be hard to watch.

So I had the idea the other day to do a graduation card in honor of the finale tonight.  Not a bad idea, right?  In the super-duper hurry that I was in, this is what I came up with.

I think it came out pretty good, don't you?  I made sure to use McKinley High's colors (though lots of schools have red and white as their colors) and I think the silhouette stamp represents the large amount of the cast that's graduating.

I'm a GLEEK, and I'mm not afraid to say it.

Now to sleep a few hours and get some more cards done.  Laters!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells...

Okay I'll admit I don't normally get into the Christmas spirit until at least November first, but after being so jazzed about Halloween for two months I'm now kinda burned out on the subject.  So, I've decided to jump head-first into Christmas cards!  I just finished one of my most favorite that I've ever made.

I'm so happy with this card.  It was inspired by the latest challenge at Fussy and Fancy Challenges but I'm entering it in a few different challenges.

• Fussy and Fancy Challenges - 3 Bs - Black, Border Punch and Bling
• Alota Rubber Stamps Challenge #69 - Christmas 
• Simon Says Stamp And Show One Colour

I gotta get back to my TV, Revenge is on.  If you guys aren't watching this show, you should be!  It's fabulous!

Inspiration Station

Today's inspiration came from, of all places, a Kleenix box (technically it's an Up and Up tissue box but whatevs).  The color and the design instantly reminded me of a card.

Bling Burst

This and several other cards can be found in my shop.  Thanks so much for looking!

Hello out there, from Crafty Land

Welcome to my blog.  I'm Lisa, and I'm the designer and blogger for The Royal Pumpkin.  Along with my mom Cathy, we make greeting cards, tags, gift boxes, jewelry and other glittery, girly things.  We do custom work, just shoot us an email and we'll be happy to work with you!!

To give you an example of what we can do, lemme tell you about a recent custom order that I filled.  A very good friend of mine wanted some cards for her mother and her aunt.  One of her design specifications was to put apples and sunflowers together.  This is what I came up with:

She loved it, and I loved doing it!!

So that's what I'll be showcasing here.  Art and ideas and inspiration.  Thanks for reading and comments = love! :)
