Paper Pumpkin Possibilities: Fall for Toile

 



Hello fellow Paper Pumpkin subscribers and those that should be!! This month's fall themed kit, Fall for Toile, is fabulous!! The stamps, the sentiments, the cards!! Love it all!!

Here are the cards as designed, and great designs they are!!



I really like to show alternate projects using the stamps, so you have ideas for those after all the consumables are gone. I think I said I love the stamps this month. They make it so easy to design other projects, since they include images and sentiments. Here is my alternate project, a cute bag:



I added a Thick White cardstock for the bag (5 12/" x 8 1/2"), a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock, the twine, and a couple more colors of ink. I watercolored the front of the bag, then stamped the birds & the leaves. I used the kit card bases for the strips, but these could be replaced with cardstock or other Designer Series Papers. I love that we get extra sentiment strips in each kit, just in case of a boo-boo.... but obviously, since I don't plan on having any of those, lol, they can be used for other projects too. 

Enjoy the hop, and leave a comment, if you feel so inclined. We love it when you share the love!! 


Until next time...
Happy craftin'!

Inspire Create Share Blog Hop: What's New?


Hello crafty friends!! Have you seen the recently released items, either the September-December Mini Catalog or the Online Exclusives? If you haven't, we will be showing you a few things, but I highly recommend checking them all out, cuz there are so many, we cannot possibly show them all to you!

My card uses the Delicate Pines Bundle. Beautiful snowflakes with a twist. They are made with pine branches! There are also pinecones and great sentiments in the stamp set. The dies give you so many more options. This one is definitely worth a look!



Here is my Warmest Winter Wishes card. Kind of monochromatic with some pops of color. It was inspired by a picture of a card I took at a Stampin' Up! event 7-8 years ago. 


I have been creating like crazy with this bundle. Excited to see what else I can do with it! 

Now, come with me as I hop along the list to see what fun products other demonstrators have showcased in this month's hop! 



Until next time...
Happy Craftin'!
