Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop: Autumn Abundance

Hello Paper Pumpkin enthusiasts!! We are here with another hop of alternative ideas on how to use your September kit. I love Paper Pumpkin as designed, but it is fun to see what else can be done with the kits. 

Here is the September kit info:

Share your love for all things autumn with this kit!

Cards as they were designed: 

• Makes 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs

• Project includes printed cards and coordinating envelopes
• Laser cut card fronts, ephemera pack, and embellishments
• Coordinating colors: Cajun Craze (Classic Stampin’ Spot), Crushed Curry, Poppy
Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla, Wild Wheat

I usually choose to mainly use the stamps on my alternates, since the consumables will be used up and you will have only the stamps and ink left. 

Here is my card. I love the little snail! 

I used various color inks and did use a circle cut from the Stylish Shapes dies, along with the leaf die from Every Celebrations Paper Pumpkin add-on dies. I added some linen thread and some of the beautiful gold dragonflies to finish is off.

Hope you like it! Are you ready to see what the others did with their kit? Follow the list below and hop along with me!

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'!

ICS Blog Hop: Fall Fun

 Welcome to the September ICS Blog Hop. Thanks for joining us as we celebrate Fall with our Fall Fun theme this month. 

I have been using the Online Exclusives, Changing Leaves bundle, for a lot of my projects and Facebook lives recently. I love this set with stamps and coordinating dies. It also pairs well with the Wild Wheat Rustic Striped Ribbon and the Woven Golden Leaves. Changing Leaves was the perfect choice to use for Fall Fun!

Here is my card: 

I have been using the Season of Green & Gold Designer Series Paper with this bundle but this time I wanted to change the leaves up to reflect the leaf color changes that happens during the fall season. 

I used watercolor paper and spritzed it with water. Then I dropped reinker dots all over it in fall colors, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive. I spritzed the drops some more until the bled together to form this: 

The Blackberry didn't spread as well as the other colors, so I was just selective on my placement when I stamped the leaves onto the paper. 

I didn't end up using them all, but now I have some extras for another project or two!

I hope you will join me as I hop along to see what the other demonstrators have done to showcase Fall Fun!! Please, leave a comment when you see something you like. Click on the list below to hop along....

Until next time...

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to the September IDEAS Blog Hop! We are celebrating Family Celebrations this month. This can be a multitude of things to different people. It can be birthdays, or specific holidays, or special occasions or events within your family or culture. It may even be just a backyard BBQ!

This graphic is a sneak peek at the some of the projects into our September IDEAS Tutorial Bundle:

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to make an alternate project, so here is another sneak peek at one of my bundle projects. I used the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. The pack comes with DSP and die cut designs. These packs make creating soooo easy! 

Look at all this goodness:

Each tutorial designer features at least one card or one 3D project, some include multiple projects. Each tutorial includes color photos, a supply list, and written instructions with both imperial and metric measurements.
