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.
