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.

Gold Topper Die Cut

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.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities October Blog Hop Nests of Christmas

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities October Blog Hop as we showcase alternative projects featuring the Nests of Christmas Kit. Our wonderful Design Team is excited to share their beautiful projects and ideas to help you get into the spirit of the holiday season. 

For my alternative card design, I chose to use the arch piece from one of the card bases to create a window for my card design. I decided to use Shaded Spruce cardstock for the card base and Blueberry Bushel cardstock for the card front to help make the focal image pop. To create the focal image, I used several of the die cuts and one of the sentiment labels to bring it all together. 

Products Used:

Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (item #162026)

Shaded Spruce Cardstock (item #146981)

Blueberry Bushel Cardstock (item #146968)

Blueberry Bushel Cardstock

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4" Embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder

This beautiful holiday card is simple to create and a wonderful way to use several of the pieces from the kit to create a pretty alternative design. To add some texture to the background. I embossed the Blueberry Bushel cardstock layer with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder to add falling snowflakes to the design. It makes me think of the sky on a snowy night and I love the way the Blueberry Bushel makes the arch window pop. I stamped the sentiment label with one of the sentiments from the exclusive stamp set using the Shaded Spruce ink spot included in the kit. I attached the focal die cuts to the right bottom corner of the window and attached the sentiment label with Stampin' Dimensionals. I love how peaceful this design looks and I think it makes the perfect Christmas card. To complete the design, I added several White Loose Snowflakes to the window background. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects with the supplies in this wonderful kit. There are so many options to explore.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities August Blog Hop Time For Cake

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities August Blog Hop as we showcase alternative project ideas featuring the Time For Cake Paper Pumpkin Kit. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to think outside the box and create your own fun alternative designs. 

For my card design, I wanted to showcase the wonderful images in the exclusive stamp set included in this month's kit. To create this soft and pretty birthday card, I used one of the Petal Pink card bases included in the kit for my card front and created a focal image using the candles images from the stamp set. This clean and simple design is fresh and fun and a great example of how you can mix and match the images to create your own unique designs.

Time For Cake Kit

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4" (From Petal Pink Card Base)

To create this fun birthday card, I cut a card front from one of the Petal Pink card bases and attached it to the Thick Basic White card base. To create the focal image, I die cut a large circle from Basic White cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I stamped the tallest candle image using Flirty Flamingo Classic ink and the two shorter candles with Petal Pink Classic ink, on either side of the taller candle. I stamped the sparkle image on top of each of the candles with Lemon Lolly Classic ink. For the sentiment label, I stamped the image with Flirty Flamingo Classic ink onto Basic White cardstock and then punched it out using the Modern Oval Punch. To assemble the remainder of the card, I attached the circle image to the center of the card front towards the left side and then attached the sentiment label with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals from the kit, slightly overlapping the bottom right curve of the focal circle. For a touch of bling, I added a Basic Rhinestone Jewel to the top of each candle to complete the card design.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities July Blog Hop Painted Petals

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities July Blog Hop as we showcase alternative projects featuring the Painted Petals Kit. This beautiful floral kit is a dream to create with and our Design Team is excited to share their alternative projects and ideas to help inspire you to think outside the box.

Today I have created two alternative card designs using one of the card bases from the Painted Petals Kit. I wanted to show how you can create two card fronts from one card base to create two beautiful but very different cards. I chose to use the Daisy card base and used the front of the card to create a soft and pretty design by adding it to a Mossy Meadow cardstock card base and stepped up the sentiment for an additional pop of color. For the second design, I chose to use one of the beautiful Melon Mambo floral die cuts and added it to the card front created from the back of the original card base. Once again, I used Mossy Meadow for the card base to help frame the card design. Both of these card designs would work well for a variety of occasions and it helps you to get more value from your kit.

Products Used:

Paper Pumpkin July Kit Painted Petals

Deckled Circles Dies (item #162286)

Mossy Meadow Cardstock (item #133676)

Peach Pie Cardstock (item #163799)

Mossy Meadow Classic Ink Pad (item #147111)

2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (item #163781)

Linen Thread (item #104199)

Mini Glue Dots (item #103683)

Measurements:

Mossy Meadow Cardstock

2 Card Bases - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" each

Peach Pie Cardstock

Small Circle die cut with the Deckled Circles Dies

Painted Petals Kit

1 Card Base cut into 2 Card Fronts - 5 1/4" x 4" (1 Front & 1 Back)

1 Melon Mambo Floral Die Cut

2 Sentiment Labels

1 Melon Mambo Strip

1 Old Olive Strip

These two cards are simple to create and they are a great way to maximize the supplies in your kit. I cut the Daisy card base from the kit into two card fronts, one from the back and one from the front. The textured background from the back for the card base works beautifully to help make the Melon Mambo floral die cut pop and I paired it with the Melon Mambo strip to help make the sentiment label pop. I used the Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the floral die cut onto the card front and then added the Melon Mambo strip underneath using the adhesive strip from the kit. I stamped the sentiment with Mossy Meadow Classic ink onto the coordinating sentiment label and added it to the card front using the Mini Stampin' Dimensionals so that it slightly overlaps the Melon Mambo strip. To decorate the card front, I added several of the sequins included in the kit for a touch of bling and a simple Linen Thread bow to the stem of the die cut using a Mini Glue Dot. 

For the second card, I used the Daisy design from the front of the card base to create a soft and pretty look. To help make the sentiment pop, I die cut a small circle from Peach Pie cardstock using the Deckled Circles Dies and attached it to the card front just to the right of the stems. To add some texture, I tied a bow around the left side of the Old Olive strip with Linen Thread. I then attached the Old Olive strip over the top using the Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, centering it over the Peach Pie circle. I stamped the sentiment with Mossy Meadow Classic ink onto the coordinating label and adhered it to the center of the Old Olive strip. To complete the card design, I added several Peach Pie Shimmer Gems to coordinate with the centers of the daisies and the deckled circle I used for the sentiment. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my cards  help inspire you to explore using the elements in this kit to create your own unique projects by maximizing the supplies in the kit. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore by mixing and matching with other Stampin' Up! products.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities June Blog Hop Life Is Sweet

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities June Blog Hop as we showcase this month's kit, Life is Sweet. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to create your own alternative designs with the supplies in this kit. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore using the new 2024-2026 In Colors featured in this kit.

For my card design, I chose to use the supplies from this kit to create a sweet card for a friend. I experimented with different color combinations, using one of the card bases from the kit for my card front and chose to use the lemons as my focal design. For my main sentiment, I used the glitter "miss you" die cuts and add a touch of color to tint them to help them stand out. I also trimmed one of the leaves die cuts to place behind the die cut sentiment to add some texture to the design. This card design has a wonderfully fresh, cheerful feel to it and I hope it will help brighten my friend's day when she receives it.

Products Used:

Paper Pumpkin June 2024 Life Is Sweet Kit

Thick Basic White Cardstock (item #159229)

Daffodil Delight Classic Ink Pad (item #147094)

Water Painters (item #151298)

Measurements:

Thick Basic White Cardstock

Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Life Is Sweet Kit

Card Front from Summer Splash/Pool Party Base - 5 1/4" x 4"

Shy Shamrock Leaves Die Cut

Miss You Die Cut 

Two Lemons Die Cuts 

Sentiment Label

One of the fun ways to create alternative card designs, is to mix and match the different elements to come up with your own fun ideas. My starting point was actually the small sentiment "sending a big squeeze" and I built my design from there. I chose to cut one of the Summer Splash/Pool Party card bases to create a card front to go on a Thick Basic White card base. I love how fresh and clean this combination looks. To provide some texture to the background, I added one of the leaves die cuts to the top left corner, trimming off some of the pieces. For the large sentiment, I used a Water Painter to add Daffodil Delight Classic ink to the glitter die cut words to tint them yellow to tie in with the lemon die cut pieces. I love how it ties everything together and gives it a summer feel to the design. I stamped the smaller sentiment with the Shy Shamrock Stampin' Spot from the kit onto one of the sentiment labels. I added the lemons to the bottom of the card, popping the smaller lemon up with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals and I then layered the sentiment label over the top. I added the large glitter words to the top left corner on top of the leaves and then added several of the pearls to complete the design. I love how this card came together using items from the kit.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore creating your own wonderful alternative projects with this kit. There are so many possibilities to explore.
