Tricia's Stamping Creations: Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop Kisses and Hugs

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop as we showcase alternative projects using the Kisses and Hugs Kit. Our talented Design Team Members will be sharing their creative projects and ideas to help inspire you to think outside the box.

One of my favorite ways to create alternate card designs with Paper Pumpkin kits, is with the exclusive stamp set. I love the variety of images and sentiments that are included and it is fun to explore different ways to create projects with them. For today's design, I combined several of the stamp images with die cut elements in the kit to create this pretty card. I chose to use Blushing Bride, Gray Granite and Very Vanilla cardstock and embossed the sentiments and images with Gold embossing powder to step up the design.

This clean and simple card design would work well for a Valentine's Day card or simply as a card to show someone you care. I embossed the Blushing Bride heart die cut from the kit with the X and O images, heat embossing them with Gold embossing powder and also embossed the Gray Granite arrow die cut from the kit with the arrow image from the stamp set. To extend the length of the arrow, I cut it in half and attach each piece to opposite sides of the heart die cut. For the sentiment label, I heat embossed the sentiment image onto a strip of Gray Granite cardstock and flagged the end to create a banner. The heart and arrow were popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals to give the design some dimension. For a touch of bling, I added two of the sequins from the kit to the Very Vanilla cardstock layer. I love how this card turned out and love the look of this color combination.
