Designer Friday - More From Jules

Jules Dix has been busy with the October Sampler, Pumpkin Patch. She has created more fabulous, spooky home decor to share with us today.

Aren't these jars gorgeous? Jules has used flower embellishments from the sampler to accent and top these hauntingly pretty glass jars, as well as ribbons from the sampler as ties.

This cupcake poppy is a new design to Precocious Paper and will be available separately in the shop soon.

I love how this fabric and felt flower fits perfectly on top of the jar :). Besides being available in the sampler, you can also find this flower in the Halloween Bouquet.

Jules, thank you so much for all of your beautiful work with the October Sampler! If it weren't for that darn ocean I'd have to cross, I'd love to come trick-or-treating at your house :). It must be the best decorated Halloween haunt ever :).

If you haven't picked up your Pumpkin Patch sampler yet, there are still a handful available. Don't forget to take advantage of free shipping. I'm still celebrating 5000 sales with free shipping through the 31st - just use coupon code PP5000 during checkout. One randomly selected customer will receive a $50.00 shop credit, just for making a purchase during the celebration. Will it be you?

Have a fabulous weekend! Tessa

Designer Friday - Jules Dix

Happy Friday! Halloween is just around the corner and I am thrilled to be sharing with you an amazing project created by October's guest designer, Jules Dix. I sent this lovely lady the Pumpkin Patch sampler and the photos she sent back just about knocked me out of my seat :).

Eeek! How awesome is this?! Not only has Jules expertly layered hauntingly gorgeous Halloween papers, but she has also tucked Precocious Paper flowers into several nooks.

I was especially excited to see what Jules did with the white tulle included in the sampler. She pulled and stretched the tulle to look like creepy fog. I think the tulle would great mummy wrappings or cobweb, too.

Amazing work, Jules! Thank you so much :). If you would like to play with the October Sampler, it's still available in the shop here.

In other Precocious Paper news, there are some fun things coming up!
♥ The November Samplers (yes, there are two!) go live on the 25th.
♥ A 5000 sales celebration is in the works - look for a coupon code and prizes to be announced soon.

♥ A handful of items, including popular Sweet Spots, are down to their last sets. Search the shop for "last" to find and purchase the items that are next to gone.


Enjoy your weekend, everyone! Tessa 

October Samplers

The October Samplers are finally live! First, let's meet Pumpkin Patch:

Pumpkin Patch Sampler

Filled with the traditional colors of Halloween, I threw in a good dose of kraft. It reminds me of the hay bales at the pumpkin farm and it just felt so "fall" to me :).

Pumpkin Patch Sweet Spots

Pumpkin Patch Butterfly Doilies

Pumpkin Patch Felt Roses and Leaves

Because October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and because my grandmother was affected by breast cancer this past year, I decided to offer this Pink Ribbon Sampler:

Whether you use the sampler with Breast Cancer Awareness in mind, or just enjoy playing with the pink, white and black embellishments, I hope you take a moment as you create to send out prayers and good thoughts for all those affected by the disease.

Everything is up in the shop now :). Enjoy creating (and shopping!) everyone! Tessa
