IDEAS Blog Hop: Holidays

 

Hello friends! It is time for another IDEAS Blog Hop. July's theme is "Holidays". It could be Christmas, or 4th of July, or Thanksgiving, or even going on a holiday with your family and/or friends. What is your interpretation of holiday?

Here is a collage that gives you a sneak peek of what we each thought of: 

While, I normally go with a traditional US holiday, I went with a travel theme this time. I used the new Flying By Stamp Set. I love these little elements, the plane, the alien and especially those cute little paper airplanes! Cute images and cute sayings make up this set. My tutorial projects are exclusive the bundle, but here is an alternative for you: 

Don't forget the inside. There are 2 paper airplanes, must use them both!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop: Life is Sweet

 

Hi there!! Thanks for coming along on the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. We love Paper Pumpkin and how fast & easy it is to make the kits the way they were designed. But we also, love to show you different ways to use them!

I normally like to showcase the stamp sets in our kits. That way once all the kit components are used up, you still have inspiration on using the stamps. However, this month there were no images, only words. So, I did pull some of the extra peaches from the kit and used those. 

So, here is my card: 

Now, mind you, I am not complaining about the words. I love the sentiments in this kit. They are sweet words for friendships, and I like that they can be inside or outside words!

And, did you see the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper?! I love the sparkle of this stuff, and that the glitter doesn't fall of!! This is a must have, the colors are gorgeous!

And if you didn't get the dies to go with the April 2024- June 2024 kits, do it quickly. I used 2 of them on this card. They will be gone soon, and Stampin' Up! will be moving on to the July - Sept add on! Thanks & Beyond Dies Item # 164397

Thanks for hanging out with me for a bit! Follow the list for the other projects using this months kit, Life is Sweet!

Until next time...

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities: Delicate Wings

 

Hello Crafty Friends!! It is time once again for the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! This is where we show you some alternate uses for your Paper Pumpkin kits. Now, we love Paper Pumpkin, and are happy with the projects as designed, but sometimes we like to challenge ourselves and make some other things up with them.

I didn't do it this time, but these would make some very cute boxes!! I might have to do that with some of the remaining kit contents. But for now, here is my card:

I normally like to use the stamps when I am creating my alternates, and I did use stamps on the front, the splatter and the words, and on the inside.

Here is my inside:

 I also used some of the extra kit contents, and cut up one of the card bases. One of the things I like about Paper Pumpkin is, they normally have the same print on the front and back of the card bases. I can use the front and still cut the back down for a card layer, and make the card as originally planned just by adding a card base. 

Hope you like the card. Please hop along and check out the rest of the alternate projects. Leave a comment when you see something you like.
