Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Kit Reunion Blog Hop Hope Box

 
Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities March Blog Hop. We know that many subscribers, (like me), are waiting on their kits. While we are waiting, this month we decided to do a Kit Reunion to show you alternative projects and ideas using past Paper Pumpkin kits. Our Design Team Members are busy creating with past Paper Pumpkin stamp sets and kit leftovers that will hopefully inspire you to open up some of your older kits and get creative. You may also see projects created with the Beyond The Horizons March Kit to help provide you with ideas ready for when your kit arrives. It is sure to be a variety of projects to delight you. 
For my alternative card design, I chose to use the Hope Box Kit, which originally was released in August 2021. Did you know that you can still order this kit if you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber? It's true. This beautiful kit was inspired by Stampin' Up! Co-Founder, Shelli Gardner, and I just love the beautiful colors and wonderful elements in this kit. For my card design, I chose to use images from the exclusive stamp set to create the focal image, along with pieces I had left over in the kit. I also created a frame using the Stitched Rectangles Dies, which can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. 
Products Used:
Paper Pumpkin Hope Box Kit (item #158541)
Stitched Rectangles Dies (item #151820)
Bermuda Bay Cardstock (item #131197)
Versamark Pad (item #102283)
Metallics Embossing Powders (item #155555)
Simply Elegant Trim (item #155766)
Measurements:
Pool Party Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (in the kit)
Melon Mambo/Pool Party Background 3 1/8" x 4 1/8" (in the kit)
Bermuda Bay Layer 3 5/8" x 4 3/4" (in the kit)
Bermuda Bay Cardstock Frame
3" x 4 1/4" die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies
This pretty clean and simple card design is easy to create and I love how the Gold embossing pops against the background to step up the card design. This card layout is similar to one of the cards from the kit and uses the card base and layers included in the kit. I wanted to create a frame around the focal design, so I used the Stitched Rectangles dies to create a frame that fit around the focal layer (I did trim the layer to 3" x 4 1/8" so that it would fit inside the frame). I popped up this layer with Stampin' Dimensionals and added it to the Bermuda Bay layer. I attached the layers to the card front, making sure to center it to create a secondary frame. To embellish the card, I used several of the pretty sequins from the kit for a touch of bling and I added a Gold Trim bow to the top left corner with a Mini Glue Dot. This card design is a wonderful way to help brighten someone's day and let them know that you are thinking of them. 
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that the alternative card design I created with the Hope Box kit, will help inspire you to explore creating your own fun projects with past kits. There are so many wonderful options to spark your creativity.
