PPP Blog Hop: No Matter the Weather


Welcome to the monthly Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. We hope you are staying safe and sane. So glad we can provide some diversion from the world around us right now.

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 March Paper Pumpkin Kit: No Matter the Weather.

Here are the projects as designed:


And remember we got a FREE stamp set, so here is the kit stamp  


And here is the FREE one!! So cute!

I love this kit so much! It is wonderful by itself; I didn't really want to make alternate projects with it. So, I just used different components of the kit to make an alternate card. I did add a full size card base in Thick Whisper White, some Petal Pink ink for the flower background, a vellum flower and leaf from the Peaceful Poppies Elements Kit (151327), and some Wink of Stella. Other than that, all else came from the kit. 


That bunny is so cute, and I love the shimmer the Wink of Stella adds to the flowers:



I hope you are inspired to create an alternative project, or just complete the kit as designed, either way, you will not go wrong!!

Now, hop along with me to see what the other bloggers have created for us to enjoy, and maybe even copy! Let's go to Anastasia's blog first and see what she did!

ICS BloG Hop: Special Someone


I am so happy that you could join us on the March Inspire, Create, & Share Blog Hop! 

This month, we are focusing on "One Stamp Set So Many Uses." We are taking a stamp set and making 3 different cards, showing a beginner card, a casual card and an avid card. 

I used the stamp set Special Someone. I love this stamp set and then, when Stampin' Up! released the coordinating dies, I knew I had to have them both! These cute little creatures and accessories are easy to create with. The hardest part was deciding which little guy to feature.

My first card, for the Beginner stamper, who may not have many supplies for papercrafting yet, features only stamps, ink and paper. I used Stampin' Up! note cards and envelopes, a layer of Pineapple Punch cardstock, Memento Black Ink, and Smoky Slate and Pineapple Punch inks for color. That is all! 

Can you believe how simple this card is, but also, how adorable this little guy is?!


The card for the Casual stamper, who may have purchased some items beyond stamps, ink and paper, adds some additional elements. I added the 2018-2020 In Color Designers Series Paper, the Classic Label punch and a small dot from the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots. Here he is again, stepped up a little. Still cute as can be!


For the Avid crafter, who has everything in their arsenal to use in papercrafting, here is the final stepped up version. I used my die cutting machine, so was able to add several dies to this version. I used the Stitched Rectangles, the All Dressed Up and the Special Days dies, while still including all the other elements. He is just waiting to be sent to a special someone to say thank you!! 


I know I cannot wait to see what stamp sets the other bloggers have chosen, and what they have done with their one stamp set! So, grab a cuppa' and hop along with me to check them out. If you are inspired and see some cards you love, please leave a comment. We love getting feedback, and a little love doesn't hurt! 

I hope you enjoy the cards as you hop along. Thanks for your support! Click on the next button to see what Deb has created for you!!

Welcome! So glad you could join us for the monthly IDEAS Blog Hop. We are a group of international demonstrators who create a monthly bundle of tutorials for our customers and team members. The March bundle theme is a fun or fancy fold card, or cards that move, pop, shake, wiggle!!

I focused on a guy card fun fold using the Country Club Designer Series Paper (DSP). I won't show you my actual project, you have to get the bundle to see those, but here is an alternate simpler fun fold card using the DSP:



The only stamping is the sentiments, and I colored those with the Stampin' Write markers so I could have multiple colors. I like how sensational pops!  What golfer wouldn't like to receive this card on their special day?!

There are over 12 fun or fancy folds projects included in this month's bundle. Would you like a copy of the instructions of all the projects to use for your personal use, or even to use in your classes? Contact me, or your participating demonstrator, to find out how to get your tutorial bundle! They are available for a very low cost or even better, for FREE!
