Paper Pumpkin Possibilities: Fluttering Garden

 


Hello friends!

Welcome to the March PPP 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 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...


Until next time...

Happy Craftin'!

This or That Stampin' - Choose Happy

 Hi friends!! Welcome to my blog. 

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. 


Until next time...
Happy Craftin'!

IDEAS Blog Hop: Stunning Scraps

 



Hi friends!!!

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:

1. Place a $35 order on my website, shop here.

2. It is free for all of my team members, join here.

3. Purchase it for $15 USD.

 Once you have received the tutorials, please remember not to share or distribute the printed or electronic copies of these bundles. We have worked hard to provide these exclusive projects for your use. If you know someone that would like to purchase the bundle, please direct them to me to obtain their copy.
