Paper Pumpkin Possibilities: Watercolor in Bloom

 

Hello friends!! Happy New Year!!

May this New Year bring you strength and fresh beginnings, with blessings that renew your heart & mind!

This is the final Paper Pumpkin Possibilities for 2025, even though it is now 2026. So much to reflect on and to look forward to!! Do you love Paper Pumpkin like we do? We love the kits as designed but also love to try to do something new & inspiring with the contents.

Here are the cards as designed:

So beautiful, and great sentiments for the new year. I love that they have card front sentiments but also have sentiments for the inside too!! And the color palette is super pretty in the blues & greens with the pop of bronze. 

I love to use the stamps and ink for my alternate projects, cuz once the consumables are gone, that is all you will have left. That is what I have done this month, but I also did a fun fold, and...

 a fun technique; Faux Silk!

Can you see the little wrinkles in the paper to give it texture, like fine silk? I have been going back to my technique books, yes, we used to do technique swaps so we could get ideas before the internet days. I know, I am aging myself. Anyway, Faux Silk was one of the techniques we did back in the day before Embossing Folders and die cutting. 

Hope you like this card and technique. Follow along for more ideas using the December 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit: Watercolor in Bloom.

IDEAS Blog Hop: Anything but Flowers

 

Hi friends!! We hear so often that Stampin' Up! has so many flower stamps! So, we decided to show you what they have that aren't flowers this month! Hang with us for a bit and see what we found for you! 

This graphic is a sneak peek at the some of the projects you will find in our January IDEAS Tutorial Bundle.

 There are 10 international designers this month. With over 30 pages of instructions to include, but not limited to fun folds, techniques and a 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder. Instructions have color photos and metric & imperial measurements. 

Because my bundle designs are exclusive to the bundle, I normally show an alternate project, a bonus project, if you will.  This card uses the same stamp set, Along These Lines, and a new Designer Series Paper just released yesterday called Mixed Up Patterns, that are also used in my bundle projects. 

This stamp set has all kinds of non-flower images. 

 Would you like a copy of the tutorials for these projects for your personal use, or even to use in your classes? Contact me to grab yours! There are three options to acquire our IDEAS tutorial bundle:
