Paper Pumpkin Possibilities November Blog Hop Filled With Joy

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities November Blog Hop and this month we are showcasing alternative project ideas featuring the Filled With Joy Kit. This sweet holiday kit has so many wonderful options to explore and I hope you will enjoy the alternative projects and ideas that our Design Team has to offer to help inspire you.

For my alternative project, I wanted to show how to create a stepped up clean and simple card design using the tag elements and the exclusive stamp set. As you may know, I am a big fan of clean and simple elegant card designs and I thought that I would add a little heat embossing to coordinate with the Gold accents in the ornament and topper die cuts. I kept the stamping to a minimum and added gems and baker's twine to help step up the design. I love the non-traditional color combination that has a modern twist to it.

To create this pretty Christmas card design, I used a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock for the card front. I heat embossed the background image twice as well as the sentiment from the exclusive stamp set using Gold embossing powder to coordinate with the detail in the ornament die cuts. I added the light Poppy Parade label to the center of the card front and placed the ornament die cut with the coordinating topper onto the label using Stampin' Dimensionals from the kit. I tied a simple bow with Very Vanilla Baker's Twine and added it to the top of the ornament topper with a Mini Glue Dot from the kit. To complete the design, I added two of the Lost Lagoon Faceted Gems for a touch of bling. I love how the finished design turned out and how easy it was to assemble.
