PPP Blog Hop: All the Best

 

Hello there! Here we are almost at the end of 2023? What are your New Year's Eve plans?

Are you going out? Or, staying in? Bed before midnight, or watch the ball drop?  

This is the last Paper Pumpkin Possibilities for 2023. So join us as we hop along and see what alternate projects we came up with to share with you.

I love Paper Pumpkin as is. Sometimes it is hard to use the consumables in a different way. But, we always have the stamps and ink left over, even once all the consumables are gone. So I like to focus on ways to use those, so you have ideas using other Stampin' Up! products.

So here is a card I came up with:

I did cut one of the cards apart. But, I can make a card using just the front of the card base as a layer on a Thick Basic White card base, so I didn't worry about using part of it. Also, I can substitute some Designer Series Paper in place of it, once all my consumables are used up. 

Hop along with me by following the links below to see what alternate project the other demonstrators have to share with us! Hope you see some things that will inspire you!

Until next time....

Happy Craftin'

Inspire Create Share Blog Hop: Homemade Holiday

 

4

Hi friends!!

Welcome to the final Inspire Create Share Blog Hop of 2023. We have some fun Homemade Holiday items to share with you today. We are focusing on anything, except cards this month.So you should be in for some treat...packaging, that is! 

I have 2 treat holders. One super simple and one a little more work, but still pretty easy!

Here they are:

First  is the super simple one. It is just a 2 1/8" x 7" strip of Designer Series Paper, folded around a piece of chocolate and then embellished with some gold metallic paper and our pretty little Holly Gems & Sequins. I used glue dots to hold the chocolate in the holder. These would be great to carry with you for the grocery clerk, the receptionist at the Dr. office, or the barista at your favorite coffee house. 

This one is made with our Scalloped Gift Card Boxes. So the box is simple to assemble, but I stepped it up making it into a shaker box. I, also, used the Holly Gems and Sequins for this, just picking out the musical notes. 

You can insert the gift card inside: 

Or replace the gift card holder with candy, or hide the candy under the gift card holder: 

I hope you are inspired as you hop along with us tonight! 

Let's go see what that oh so creative, Tricia has to share with us tonight! Click below to follow along. Leave comments if you see something you like, or have any questions! 

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'!

& Merry Christmas!

My projects are exclusive to the bundle. But, I have made an alternate card using some of the same products and the same bundle, Merriest Trees. Consider it a bonus project!

It is a mini slim line card and fits in a standard letter size envelope. The sentiment is from the Sending Smiles stamp set.

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...

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.

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'! 

 

 

ICS Blog Hop: Mini Catalog Showcase

Hi friends!!

Join us as we hop a long on another Inspire Create Share Blog Hop! We are showcasing products from the September- December 2023 Mini Catalog. 

I am using the Fragrant Forest background stamp. I think this is an easily overlooked stamp, and am hoping to change that. It can be used as a background or a focal stamp. 

Here is my card:

The sentiment is from the Merriest Trees Stamp Set. I used the Stylish Shapes and the new Deckled Circle Dies, the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim and the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. 

The colors came from the Stampin' Up! Color Coach:

I have a lot more uses for this stamp in mind. Keep a look out for what will come next. 

For now, join me as we hop along to Deb's blog to see what new item(s) she is showcasing. 

Hope you are inspired as you check out our projects!

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'!
