IDEAS Blog Hop: Spread the Sparkle

 

10/15/26 This or That Stampin'

 Hi friends! 

I posted this week's This or That Stampin' choices on Wednesday afternoon. Tallied the votes on Thursday morning and "That" won! Here were the choices: 

Thursday afternoon I crafted live in my Facebook group. Here is my take on the sketch: 

How did I do?

This one is pretty similar to the sketch. But remember, the sketch is just the starting point. So many changes or substitutions could be made. 

If it is within 30 days of this post, you can watch the video here in my Facebook group. 

Plan on voting on the next one on Wednesday, October 28th, and watching the live on October 29th @ 5pm CT. 

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'! 

10/08/26 This or That Stampin' Sketch Challenge

 Hi friends! 

On 10/07/26 I posted the choices for the weekly This or That Challenge. 

Here were the choices...

"That" won by a landslide. Here is my take on that sketch:

I chose to make a regular size card and not go with the square design in the sketch. A sketch is just a starting point and can be changed to meet your needs.

My projects are exclusive to the bundle, but I have a bonus card for you. It uses the same bundle and Designer Series Paper that I used for my bundle projects. I love the Winter Adventure bundle. It can be used for Christmas or just winter, giving it more versatility.

I love these little button embellishments!! 

 You can use these projects personally or in your classes, just don't share the actual tutorial. But to see the bundle projects, you will have to get the bundle. Are you interested? Here are 3 ways to get the bundle:

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop: Aspens of Gratitude

 

Welcome to the monthly Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. We love Paper Pumpkin and love to share our enthusiasm for this monthly box of fun and creativity with you. The Paper Pumpkin kit is designed so you can follow the instructions provided in the kit to make the projects or use the supplies as a starting point to let your creativity run wild (as we have!) Hop along with us, as we will share alternate ideas on how we used the September Paper Pumpkin Kit: Aspens of Gratitude.

 

This month's kit made 10 cards, 5 each of 2 designs. Here are the cards as designed:

I like to use the stamps and ink on my alternatives, so you can see what can be done with the leftovers once the consumables are used up. My card uses the stamps and the Early Espresso ink, along with Mossy Meadow & Golden Glow cardstock, and Daffodil Delight, Golden Glow, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Pecan Pie inks. I used watercolor paper for the top layer. I also used the leaf die from the July-September 2026 Add on dies, Detailed Flora Dies (#168664):

Glad you could join us and hope you have been inspired to get your kit out and create.  Click on the links in the list below to hop along with me!

 

It would be awesome if you leave a comment on our projects along the way!!

Stamping with Friends: Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper

 

Hi friends!! I am here to showcase one of the Products of the Month. This is the August one, Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love this DSP and am quite surprised that it is still available, but you should get it before it goes away! 

The colors in this paper are so soft and pretty. It may only be one sided, but the shimmeryness (is that a word?!) makes up for it! You get 6 different patterns, and it is perfect for fall projects!  

Here is a cute and very simple treat box. It is pretty large, the inside is 2" x 3 3/4" x 3 3/4", so holds lots of stuff! 

I filled it with one of my favorite fall treats, candy corn and peanuts! Have you tried this? It is like a Payday candy bar. Yum!!

Thanks for hanging out for a bit!! Hope you like the August Product of the month as much as I do! You can get it for only $5 with a $75 purchase. 

Until next time...

We are showcasing some of the new products available in the catalog. I chose the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera (#168495) from page 69 of the catalog.

And I was right!! Look how cute this is!!
