PPP June Blog Hop Box of Sunshine

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities June Blog Hop as we showcase alternative project ideas using the Box of Sunshine Kit. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas to help inspire you to create your own gifts of sunshine.

Let me just say that I love this kit so much and the bright colors and cheerful elements were such a joy to create with. I decided that my alternative card design would feature mainly items included in this month's kit combined with the new Playful Alphabet Dies from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.

For my card design, I chose the beautiful yellow card base from the June Paper Pumpkin kit and I added the Black and White Polka Dot Panel to the card front, placing it toward the right side of the card. I added the Gold embossed Sun die cut from the kit to the top of this panel using the Mini Stampin' Dimensionals also in this kit.

To create the sentiment on the left side of the card, I die cut the letters to spell Hello from one of the Black and White Polka Dot sentiment panels using the Playful Alphabet Dies (item #152706) using my die cutting machine. I love that the letters fit inside the narrow panel and were able to cut through all the layers so that the backing stayed on the back of each letter. I laid out the die cut letters on the left side of the card front and when I was happy with the placement, I removed the backing from each letter and attached it to the card. I love the way the Black and White Polka Dot letters pop against the vibrant yellow background.

Using one of the White sentiment labels from the kit, I stamped the Sunshine image from the exclusive stamp set onto the label and attached the label to the bottom of the Black and White Polka Dot panel with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I added two of the small sequins from the kit to the sentiment label for a little sparkle and bling to finish it off. I love the bold design of this card and I think it would work well as a masculine or feminine card design to spread sunshine in the world.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my alternative card design will inspire you to explore creating your own projects with this wonderful kit. Don't be afraid to combine products from the kit with products in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog to help you explore new possibilities.
