Paper Pumpkin Possibilities: Nests of Christmas

 


Hi Crafty Friends! 

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 October Paper Pumpkin Kit: Nests of Christmas.

The kit gives enough supplies for 10 cards, 5 each of 2 designs. They are a cute fun fold design. But, I especially loved the stamp. I loved the cardinal, and the evergreen sprig and the spots, along with all the sentiments.  When I make my alternate projects, I try to use the stamps, so you can visualize using them after all the consumables are gone. The stamps are something that will be available for you to use over and over again. 

So, here you go. I used all the image stamps and a sentiment.


I did use the punched-out piece from one of the fun fold cards in the kit. But it could easily be replaced with a piece of Designer Series Paper. I used some ribbon and embellishments from the Mini Catalog. I also used all 3 of the add on dies that are available for purchase, item #165639 (while supplies last).


The Merry was designed to coordinate with the October kit. But as you can see, they all worked on this card! 

Hope you enjoyed my alternate project. Follow me as I hop along to see what the other demonstrators did with this fun kit, one of my all-time favorites! 


Until next time...
Happy Craftin'!

10/22/24 Creative Crafternoon

Hi crafty friends!!

I kept with the sketch theme for Creative Crafternoon, but used a sketch from the Mini Catalog this time. I was inspired by sketch #6 from page 16 of the Mini Catalog. I combined 2 stamp sets, Humble Home and Frozen Edges for today's card. 


Inside the card: 

I used a color combination (bottom one) from the Stampin' Up! Color Coach. I love using colors different from what I would normally select. What do you think of this combination?


Here is the link to the video on how I made the card.

Hope you enjoyed this card!

Until next time...
Happy Craftin'!
