Hi friends! Thanks for joining me on another IDEAS Blog Hop! This month we are exploring Holidays. Sometimes we get a real variety of subjects with this one, but it appears most people went with Christmas this time. Get ready for some fun ideas to follow!!
Here is a collage that gives you a sneak peek into some of the projects in the bundle:
Several of us used the new Woodland Wishes, released just today to customers. So, you are going to get some great ideas using this stamp set.
I wanted to stick with the same Designer Series Paper (DSP) that I used in my bundle projects. I took my color inspiration from the DSP pack. It isn't in any of your traditional holiday colors, but I think this turned out so cute! I don't have any holiday DSP, so used what I had, and am pleased with how it looks! Do you stick to only the reds & greens, or blues & silvers for the holidays, or do you like the non-traditional colors too?
Here is the complete stamp set you can order today!!
I am not a real fan of coloring but still love line art stamps. I am always trying to come up with ways to use them that doesn't require a lot of coloring on my part. Here is a good way to use the large stamp in this set, make it a background stamp!!
Are you intrigued as to what the rest of my projects look like? Since my bundle projects are exclusive to the bundle itself, you will have to get it to see.

Hello friends!! Welcome to another Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop where you can find alternative projects using your monthly Paper Pumpkin kits!
Here are the kit cards as designed:
Very fun cards!
I prefer to make my alternate cards using the stamps & ink, so you can see what can be done with the leftovers, after the consumables are gone.
I did use half of one of the card fronts, and there were some extra banners in the kit, so I used one of those too. But these are things I could easily have done using cardstock or a similar Designer Series Paper. I did add some additional ink colors too.
Here is my card using the cute little bicycle:
I like the randomness of the bicycles and the different colors. These colors I pulled from the kit itself. Stampin' Up does such a great job of color coordination, why not use it?!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are inspired as you follow along the blog hop. Just click on the links in the list below!!
Hi friends!! I love Stampin' Up! embossing folders and am so happy I was able to participate in this blog hop. Thank you for joining us! I hope you are inspired to use our folders, and maybe even learn a new technique with them.
I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine using theLadybug Picnic 3D Embossing Folder (item #167478). I turned it to the debossed side and using a sponge dauber, added some Real Red ink to the ladybug images.
I then inked up the brayer (item $162936) using the Secret Sea ink pad and rolled it over the debossed piece of cardstock.
I went back over the ladybugs again and added some Daffodil Delight ink to the smaller flowers also using a dauber.
Lastly, I added some color to the flower centers using the Timid Tiger and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends.
A couple of layers of matching cardstock, a fun sentiment, the cutest ladybug embellishments, and here is the completed card:
Hello friends! Welcome to the IDEAS Blog Hop! This month is all about the fabulous Stampin' Up! colors!! We have 40 core colors and each year we get 5 new colors that last for 2 years. While it is sad we have to say goodbye to old favorites, it is always nice to see the new colors Stampin' Up! puts out and are always on trend!
While some used one or more of the new 2026-2028 In Colors, others focused on colors from a specific Designer Series Paper pack. Either way, you cannot go wrong with the beautiful colors available to us to create with!
Here is a collage with some snippets from a project from each participating demonstrator:
The current bundle has almost 40 pages of inspiration from 10 global demonstrators!
My projects are exclusive to the bundle and normally I have a bonus project for you for the blog hop. Unfortunately, my husband fell and broke his hip requiring a full replacement, so have been a little preoccupied. So here is a little sneak peek of one of my projects:
It features the Golden Glow In-Color that is so soft and warm.

Hi friends!! Are you ready for some alternative projects from the May Paper Pumpkin kit? This kit is pretty festive with the fireworks, lanterns and lights. The colors work so well together.
Here are the cards as designed:
Here is my alternative. I took a right gate fun fold and turned it on its side to get a different look and to be able to accommodate the direction of the card base from the kit.
I prefer to use the kits nonconsumable items, stamps & ink, on my alternative projects, so you can visualize what can be done with the leftovers, once the kit is gone. I did use one of the card fronts and some ephemera pieces from the kit on this one though.
And don't forget the inside of the card:
Thanks for taking a peek! I hope you hop along with me to see some other projects using this fun kit! Just click the links from the list below.

Hello fellow Paper Pumpkin subscribers, and if you are not, you should be!!
This month's kit is Lakeside Retreat, and is summery, and sorta', but not really, masculine and just an overall fun kit! I love the color palette and the nature vibes!
Here are the cards as designed:
I chose to make a treat holder from one of the card bases and some of the card front components. I did use some of the stamps, and the ink spot too. I am not sure what I will fill it with but for now, I added some kisses.
I think I will add a gift card or two and give it to one of my friends who saved me recently.
There are more alternatives to see, so please hop along using the following list. And leave us some love in the form of a comment, if you see something(s) you like!!

This graphic is a sneak peek at the some of the
projects in our April IDEAS Tutorial Bundle.
My projects are exclusive to the bundle. But I have made an alternate project using the same Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Gallery Blooms Bundle as in my bundle project. Consider this a bonus project. Comment below if you want the measurements.
Love this fold, because it really shows off our fabulous DSP, though I have no idea what it is called.
The April bundle contains projects from 11 global demonstrators. There are almost 40 pages of instructions and lots of fun folds to pick from or just make them all. There are examples using a lot of different stamp sets. Would

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 your creativity run wild (as we have!). Hop along with us and we will share some alternate ideas for the March Paper Pumpkin Kit: Fluttering Garden.
This month's
kit makes 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs. Here are the cards as designed:
I love the stamps in this month's kit, and we got a bonus set!! Whoohoo! The floral images are so pretty and the hummingbirds are delightful. It is almost time for me to get my hummingbird feeders out and ready for the little guys coming home for the spring. Hummingbirds migrate here, because it is too cold in the winter for them.
I like to use the stamps and ink and not the rest of the kit for my alternate card. I like to show you what can be done after the consumables are gone. I really liked the floral images behind the hummingbirds on the kit cards, so used that on my card too. I also used a couple of the add on dies for this quarter to add some interest.
And an easel card is always fun!!
Glad you could join us and hope you have been
inspired to get your kit out and create. Follow the blog by clicking on the links in the list below. Leave a comment if you are so inclined. We can always use a little love...
Each week I do a This or That Stampin'. On Wednesday's, I post the choices, and on Thursday, I go live and make something with the winner. The choices could be stamp sets, or Designer Series Papers, or sketch or color challenges.
This week's choices were stamps:
People voted and "That" won, which was the Choose Happy stamp set. Check out all the fun images it has, and I love that you can build a sentiment.
So, I popped on Thursday, and made this:
Don't forget the inside!
Mark your calendar for Wednesday, March 18th, after 3pm and vote!! Then plan on coming back Thursday, March 19th @ 5pm CT and hang out with me while I create something with the winner.
Can you believe it is March already?! Are you ready for some help to use up those scraps that you just cannot seem to part with? Follow along and we will show you some fun ideas on how to use them up.
This bundle contains projects from 10 global demonstrators. There are over 30 pages of instructions and lots of ideas to pick from or just make them all. There are some examples using small scraps, and some with larger scraps, some cards, and some scrapbook pages, even a tag!
Here is a collage that shows some snippets of what you can expect in this bundle.
My projects are exclusive to the bundle; you have to get the bundle to see them. But I have prepared another card using scraps. It is so fun and when I saw the idea on Pinterest, I knew I had to give it a try!
I often punch out circles, then decide I need a different size. Of course, the first one doesn't get thrown out, it just goes in my scrap bin! Here is my take on the circle scrap bird:
Can you imagine a whole flock of them, different size circles, different DSP patterns? Just punch or or die cut a circle and fold it in half. I think she is adorable!!
Are you ready to order your bundle? You can use the ideas for your personal use, or even to use in your classes. Contact your member demonstrator or me. There are three options to acquire our IDEAS tutorial bundle:

Hello friends!! This month's kit, Celebrate Spring, is so much fun!! It has pretty flowers, cute bunnies and Easter eggs. The pastel colors scream spring!!
As always, I like to use the stamps on my alternate projects to show what can be done with the stamps once the kit consumables have all been used up. My card showcases the Easter eggs, using the stamps and some of the negative images to color the eggs. I used a couple of blending brushes and some ink to shade the background of the eggs on a circle, after punching the eggs out of the die cut sheets.
Once I had the backgrounds shaded, I used the stamps to stamp over the shaded ovals with the same color inks. I added some of the February Product of the Month, Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper, and here are the results:
A fun Easter card
Join me as I hop along to the other blogs and see what they have done with this kit!
Hello friends! Here we are in the month of February, with Valentine's Day just around the corner, so our theme is all about Love. So appropriate, right? There are so many ways to we can express love, and so many kinds of love to express; this should be a fun time.
My card is a Fold Out Fun Fold. It is Designer Series Paper heavy, so you can show off all the patterns!
It is monochromatic, using Strawberry Slush on everything. The Mixed-Up Patterns DSP has several patterns with each color, so it was easy to find some to make up this card. Here it is with the belly band removed and the first unfold.
And the final fold out with big bold Love You's. The recipient will not be able to doubt that they are loved!
Hop on over to the rest of the Love projects, follow the list below. I hope you enjoy them all and are inspired to create your own!
