Paper Pumpkin Possibilities October Blog Hop Ho Ho Ho

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities October Blog Hop as we showcase alternative projects created with the Ho Ho Ho Christmas Card Kit. Our talented Design Team members will be sharing their alternative projects and ideas to help inspire you to think outside the box using supplies from this kit.
This month's Paper Pumpkin is probably one of my favorites and I love that it's a Christmas card kit. The card designs in this kit are amazing, so I wanted to show an alternative card design using the exclusive stamp set from this kit. The Santa and reindeer silhouette stamp is one of my favorites and I knew I wanted it to be my focal design for my card. I created a window for my design using the Layering Circles Dies and embossed the background using the Snowflake embossing folder from the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders.

The wonderful thing about creating your own Christmas cards is that you get to choose your own colors and your own designs. Instead of the more traditional red and green color combination, I decided to create my card in shades of blue. I love how Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky look together, so I chose these colors for my card and used Orchid Oasis Classic ink to sponge the sky background on the Whisper White cardstock layer. I used my Stamparatus to stamp the Santa and reindeer image with Versamark and heat embossed the image with Black embossing powder. For the card front, I die cut the window using the largest Circle Die from the Layering Circles Dies. I also embossed the background using the Snowflakes embossing folder from the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders to add texture to the card front. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with White embossing powder onto the sentiment label die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut the left side so that it had a straight edge to line up with the left side of the card front and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. To embellish the card, I added one of the Wonderful Snowflake Die Cuts so that it overlapped the window area and I added several Iridescent Pearls for a touch of bling. I love the simplicity of this card design and how it showcases the stamped image.
