Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop: Cozy Christmas

 

Hi friends!! Thanks for joining us in another Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. This month's kit, Cozy Christmas, is so pretty on its own! But I was challenged to make an alternative project, so I did! 

Here are the cards as designed. You cannot see the 

I like to use the stamp sets on my alternate projects and show you what you can do once the consumables have been used up. This set has some great Christmas sentiments, but not any real focal image, but I think it still works.

Here is my card using the sentiments and other Stampin' Up! products:

I used the Pecan Pie ink color from the kit and also added some Real Red. I like the small touches of gold to add some sparkle. 

And don't forget the inside!

I hope this inspires you to use your stamps beyond the kit!!

Now off to see what the other demonstrators have done with their kits! Hope you will join me. Just follow along from the list below. Leave a comment if you see something you like!

10/18/25 This or That Stampin'

 Hello crafty friends!!

Sorry, the 10/16/25 This or That Stampin' was pushed back a couple of days. I had to go pick up Izzy from the Nashville ER. Yay, she is back home!! But they kept pushing the time back, so it was after 6pm when I got home and all I wanted to do was snuggle with my girl! Six days in the ER was too long! 

Anyway, we are settled back into our routine, so I did This or That today. The "This" sketch won. It is on page 16 of the September- December Mini Catalog. 

Here is the card I made:

The card went together so fast and easily. I used the Fully Flowering (163762) & Saying Something (163761) Ephemera packs. Add some twine & embellishments to step it up!

Watch the video here.

Want to grab some so you can create Quick & Easy cards too?

I also used a new product: Lasting Linen Background Stamp (167107). It is only available to demonstrators right now. You can get it on 11/4 when it goes live to customers. Or take advantage of the Best.Stamp.Bundle ever and join Stampin' Up!

10/10/25 This or That Stampin'

Hi friends!! Are you ready for Christmas cards?! Seemed a bit early with the warm weather we have been having, but it is finally starting to feel like fall, so starting our Christmas cards is a must! I made one using a new set Woodland Scenery from the September-December Mini Catalog. 

Love these little images. They are going to be so fun to create winter scenes! 

For this week's This or That Stampin', this set won. So here is my first Christmas card of the season! 

You can watch the video on how this was created here!

If you want some more inspiration on using this stamp set, check out my fall scene using it here!

Inspire Create Share Blog Hop: Fall Fun!

 

Hi friends!! Are you glad it is fall? I hope you are having fall like weather at your place. Ours is still fluctuating between summer and autumn. I am really thankful for the cooler days! 

So, to kick of the change of seasons, we are doing a Fall Fun blog hop!! I didn't buy any fallish stamps this season, so what to do?? Well, just turn a winter stamp into a fall stamp, of course!!

This is the new Woodland Scenery stamp set found in the September-December Mini Catalog. 

I looked at the snowflakes and thought, "hmmm, wonder if those could be used as leaves?"

And guess what.... it worked!

A little closer look:

And don't forget the inside...

What do you have in your stash that can be used another way? 

Join me on this month's hop to see what other ideas our fabulous creators have come up with using fall stuff or making other stuff into fall stuff! Follow the list below to hop along!!

Until next time..,

1. Place a $35 order with me, click here. 

2. It is free for all of my team members, join here.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities: Fall for Toile

 

Hello fellow Paper Pumpkin subscribers and those that should be!! This month's fall themed kit, Fall for Toile, is fabulous!! The stamps, the sentiments, the cards!! Love it all!!

Here are the cards as designed, and great designs they are!!

I really like to show alternate projects using the stamps, so you have ideas for those after all the consumables are gone. I think I said I love the stamps this month. They make it so easy to design other projects, since they include images and sentiments. Here is my alternate project, a cute bag:

I added a Thick White cardstock for the bag (5 12/" x 8 1/2"), a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock, the twine, and a couple more colors of ink. I watercolored the front of the bag, then stamped the birds & the leaves. I used the kit card bases for the strips, but these could be replaced with cardstock or other Designer Series Papers. I love that we get extra sentiment strips in each kit, just in case of a boo-boo.... but obviously, since I don't plan on having any of those, lol, they can be used for other projects too. 

Enjoy the hop, and leave a comment, if you feel so inclined. We love it when you share the love!! 

Until next time...

Happy craftin'!
