Inspire Create Share Blog Hop: All About Christmas

 

Hello friends!! It is a great time for Blog Hops, cuz we all need Christmas inspiration, right?!  Well, to help you out, the Inspire Create Share team is All About Christmas this month! 

I love this Fragrant Forest Background Stamp, but...I don't think it belongs in the background at all! I like it front and center, so all can see and enjoy it!

What do you think about it?!

I couldn't find any Christmas paper to coordinate with it. So, I turned to non Christmas Designer Series Paper and found a beautiful plaid in the Let's Go Fishing papers. I think it goes perfectly! Don't limit yourself to only using Christmas stuff, even on your Christmas cards. 

Hope you like my card. I would love a comment, if you do! Let's go see what Christmas inspiration Tricia has to share with us! 

PPP Blog Hop: Home for the Holidays

 

Hi friends!! Welcome to another Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop, where we show you alternate ways to use your Paper Pumpkin kits! While I love Paper Pumpkin as is, and sometimes find it hard to use the product in alternate ways, I try to focus on what I will do with the stamps and ink after the consumable components are gone. 

So, using the stamps and other Stampin Up! products, here is what I created using the cute little house, trees and sentiments:

I also used A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper, and some snowflake embellishments. 

Have you created any alternate projects? Want more inspiration, hop along the list below to see what others did with their kits! 

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'!

Inspire Create Share Blog Hop: All About Autumn

 

Hi friends!! Welcome to another Inspire Create Share Blog Hop. This month we are All About Autumn! So many have moved on to Christmas already. I have to admit that I have even done a Christmas card class. But, we need to celebrate Autumn and all its goodness first!! 

What are your favorites things about Autumn? 

I made some little treat holders for my friends. Can you guess what the holder base is? Yes, it is an empty toilet paper roll! Appropriately, I used the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper to cover the TP roll, and the Pick of the Patch Stamp Set and punch. 

This one is non traditional colors: 

The cute crow: 

And the traditional fall colors: 

You can put all kinds of candy in these, the typical candy corn and/or pumpkins, or how about Hershey's Kisses, or Jolly Ranchers, or toffee, or ??  What is your choice?

Thanks for popping by! Let's go see what Autumn project Sharon has for us to check out.

Until next time...

09/26/23 Creative Crafternoon - CASE the Mini Catalog, pg 20

 Hi friends! Thanks for joining me on my CASE the Catalog journey. This week, I CASEd the September - December Mini Catalog. Better known in Stampin' Up! Circles as the Holiday Mini. I used a design from page 20. 

I used pumpkins instead of trees, used different Designer Series Paper, and turned the card horizontal instead of vertical, but really the same card...lol!! 

Here is mine:

Check out page 20 and let me know what you think.

Until next time...

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop: With Love & Gratitude

 

Hi friends! Thanks for joining us on another Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. This is where we show you all, ok, well some of the things you can do with Paper Pumpkin: With Love & Gratitude! 

I love this kit, but I love Shelli's style and so it isn't surprising that I love it when she gets involved and helps design a kit. It doesn't happen often, so when it does, it is a real treat! 

Here is how the kit is designed to look when complete:

8 adorable 3" x 3" cards and 8 lovely treat bags! 

I always try to think about what I can do with the stamp set when the consumables are gone. Let me tell you a secret...at first glance, I thought the pumpkins were flowers. Which would have been beautiful, but I love them even more now that I know they are pumpkins!

I did cut up one of the mini cards, but you could just as easily use cardstock with a texture from an embossing folder, or some Designer Series Paper. So, I really felt this would still work when the consumables were all gone. What do you think?

Thanks for popping by, but don't stop now! Follow along and go through the list to see what alternate projects the others have created! 

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'!
