I hope you're ready for a good laugh!
This month's video starts off with an unplanned blooper. Boo and I didn't catch it until after we finished the video and realized we had two choices. We could let it go and make light of my mistake or re-tape the video introduction. After a good laugh we decided not to re-tape it.
In the very beginning of the video you will see me actually "lipping" Boo's words as she introduces herself. Don't ask my why I did this…I have no idea! But, the truth is, this is not the first time! ((Let's just call it a motherly control issue.))
This entire video takes on a life of its own as Boo shares candidly about her cardstock cutting skills (NOT!) Despite that, her projects are fun, practical and easily duplicatable.
Grab a cup of coffee (or tea) and enjoy this month's video – I promise you'll have a few laughs along the way!

I sooo look forward each month to Boo’s creations. What a fabulous mother-daughter team! You are both very talented and I learn something from every one of your posts, Lisa and I have duplicated many of your Paper Pumpkin creations, Boo. I used your June idea for a Father’s Day card for my Dad and he still hasn’t taken it down off his bulletin board! Thanks to you both
I wish Paper Pumpkin came twice a month so we’d get double the creative ideas you come up with! Love your videos, too. You are both so approachable and reassuring when you talk about your designs and their construction. Makes us all a little more comfortable in working “outside the box”. Thanks for sharing.
Beth and Linda, you’ve made Boo’s day! She’s thrilled you enjoy the videos and her projects. She has tons of fun putting the ideas together for you. Thank you both for following our blog and videos! Happy Stamping! Hugs, Lisa and Boo!
What a great video; Boo is a natural! I love the creativity and the terrific projects that came out of this kit.
I agree; I’m so thankful for the person that tied all those tiny orange bows.
Hi Gay Lynn! I think she’s a natural, too! Despite her inability to ‘cut paper’ she seems to ‘chop’ just fine. Trust me, when she’s done filming the videos each month I go into the stamp studio and find a mirage of chopped pieces. She’s got no problem cutting it – it’s measuring it! LOL Thanks for your feedback. She loves it!
