PPP Blog Hop: Hope Box

 

Welcome to the monthly Paper Pumpkin Possibilities 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 creativity run wild (as we have!) 

This month's kit, The Hope Box was made from the heart of Stampin’ Up! cofounder, Shelli. She wanted to create a kit full of hope, comfort, and connection. Whether you make the Hope Box for your own treasure of self-inspiration, or you want to share and empower someone you know, create the Hope Box by decorating the box and filling it with treats and trinkets that embody what hope means to you. 

Let her show you how she assembled the cards and the box. Watch this short video:

Here are the kit cards as designed: 

            

This month, I really wanted to focus on all the stamps that are made available to us in the kit. So with a few ink colors (taken from the kit color, some embossing powder and a heat tool, along with some blending brushes, here is my take on this month's kit:

Everything from the kit, except the card base and the scrap of Basic White for the butterfly. 

Glad you could join us, and hope you have been inspired to get your kit out and create. Next hop on over to Joni's blog and see what she created to share with us from the Hope Box!

September's kit includes enough supplies to create 12 treat boxes — 4 each of 3 designs. That means you can take your pick of apple, pumpkins, or jack-o-lantern treat boxes! Plus, the Paper Pumpkin box is designed to easily transform into a vintage wheelbarrow for you to display your harvest, which I cannot personally wait to experience!

Whether you’re thinking about crisp red apples or you’re ready to carve some spooky jack-o-lanterns (or both!), the Haunts & Harvest Paper Pumpkin Kit — designed in a vivid fall palette — is a hands-on crafting experience for all autumn lovers! Don't miss out!

PPP Blog Hop: Sending Hearts

 

Hi friend!! Thanks for joining me on our January Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. I love Paper Pumpkin the way it is, but....I also like to challenge myself to make other things with it. I love to see what others do with it, and am always amazed at the creativity. 

This month, we not only got the kit, but we also got an add-on kit with the cutest little polka-dot boxes!! I used  one of those boxes and made some cute little cards to pop in it. These are the cutest little snails, and, unlike the speed of a snail, they went together so fast. I love this, cuz I am a fairly simple stamper, and prefer cute and fast!!!

I started by decorating the box with a cute belly band: 

Then, filled it up!

I made them all the same, just changed to color scheme. I colored the snail with Stampin' Blends, and even colored one of the pink hearts with the Poppy Parade blend, so it would pop against the Petal Pink card. 

Here is a closer look: 

And I stamped the big heart of hearts inside: 

Thanks so much for taking a look! Keep on hopping to see what fun the other bloggers created with this cute kit!! I bet you see several projects you will want to copy!! Feel free to leave a comment on any of the blogs as you go along. We "love" to hear from you!

Pop on over to Janey's blog next. I know she has some fun project for us to check out!

So, what’s in store for next month’s kit? February’s Paper Pumpkin kit—Bouquet of Hope—provides a way to offer comfort, care, and condolences to those enduring life’s challenges. With beautiful blooms and supportive sentiments, the Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin Kit will soothe sorrow and share sympathy in a heartfelt, handmade way. While you can create nine cards of comfort and coordinating envelopes with next month’s kit, the kit’s exclusive, versatile stamp set can be used to uplift loved ones during trying times, any time.

This is great timing for this kit. Don't miss out....contact your demonstrator to subscribe. If you don't have a demonstrator, I would love for you to join with me!! Click here.
