Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop: Autumn Abundance

Hello Paper Pumpkin enthusiasts!! We are here with another hop of alternative ideas on how to use your September kit. I love Paper Pumpkin as designed, but it is fun to see what else can be done with the kits. 

Here is the September kit info:

Share your love for all things autumn with this kit!

Cards as they were designed: 

• Makes 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs

• Project includes printed cards and coordinating envelopes
• Laser cut card fronts, ephemera pack, and embellishments
• Coordinating colors: Cajun Craze (Classic Stampin’ Spot), Crushed Curry, Poppy
Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla, Wild Wheat

I usually choose to mainly use the stamps on my alternates, since the consumables will be used up and you will have only the stamps and ink left. 

Here is my card. I love the little snail! 

I used various color inks and did use a circle cut from the Stylish Shapes dies, along with the leaf die from Every Celebrations Paper Pumpkin add-on dies. I added some linen thread and some of the beautiful gold dragonflies to finish is off.

Hope you like it! Are you ready to see what the others did with their kit? Follow the list below and hop along with me!

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'!

ICS Blog Hop: Fall Fun

 Welcome to the September ICS Blog Hop. Thanks for joining us as we celebrate Fall with our Fall Fun theme this month. 

I have been using the Online Exclusives, Changing Leaves bundle, for a lot of my projects and Facebook lives recently. I love this set with stamps and coordinating dies. It also pairs well with the Wild Wheat Rustic Striped Ribbon and the Woven Golden Leaves. Changing Leaves was the perfect choice to use for Fall Fun!

Here is my card: 

I have been using the Season of Green & Gold Designer Series Paper with this bundle but this time I wanted to change the leaves up to reflect the leaf color changes that happens during the fall season. 

I used watercolor paper and spritzed it with water. Then I dropped reinker dots all over it in fall colors, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive. I spritzed the drops some more until the bled together to form this: 

The Blackberry didn't spread as well as the other colors, so I was just selective on my placement when I stamped the leaves onto the paper. 

I didn't end up using them all, but now I have some extras for another project or two!

I hope you will join me as I hop along to see what the other demonstrators have done to showcase Fall Fun!! Please, leave a comment when you see something you like. Click on the list below to hop along....

Hi friends!! I hope you are ready to see some fun ideas, and maybe do a little scavenger hunting once you purchase the tutorial bundle (or get it for free!)

This month's theme is Spread the Sparkle. We are using sparkly stuff, papers, ribbons, gems, etc. But, since it is also the 5th anniversary of the IDEAS Tutorial Bundle and Blog Hop, everyone is including  five (5) of something in their projects. Can you figure out what each demo used for their 5? 

This bundle includes projects from 13 demos from all over the world. It has over 50 pages, and tutorials for more than 25 projects. There is definitely something for everyone. 

Here is a sneak peek of some of the bundle projects:

And since my project is exclusive to the bundle, I won't show it here. You will have to get the bundle to see it. But, I have an alternate project for you. Consider it a bonus project!

Here it is:

I did use the same stamp set, and it has all the shiny things, paper, foil, embellishments. But think more festive and party for my tutorial project! 

Are you intrigued? Do you want the bundle for your very own? You can own this bundle and use the projects for your personal use or even in your classes! There are three options to acquire our IDEAS tutorial bundle:

1. Place a $35 order with my online host code, click here

ICS Blog Hop: Colorful Seasons

Welcome to the Inspire, Create, & Share Blog Hop! October is a color challenge! We are challenged to use a minimum of these 3 colors: Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green & Silver Metallic, along with any black, white or vanilla. These colors look like good Halloween colors, so that is the route I took, mixing a new Halloween set from the Holiday Catalog, with an older all season set from the Annual Catalog. 

Wonderfully Wicked meets Colorful Seasons!

I embossed the leaves from Colorful Season with white embossing on black cardstock, then colored over them with Granny Apple Green and Pumpkin Pie watercolor pencils, using a blender pen to soften the colors. Cutting out some leaves from the coordinating dies, helped get the fall feel. The sentiment stack is using a couple of older punches, and one of the dies from the Ornate Frames dies, they are going to be a well used item. I hope they stick around longer than just this Holiday Catalog! 

Don't forget the inside!

I cannot wait for the hop to go live so I can see what the other bloggers did with these fabulous colors! Thanks for joining me, and I hope you choose to hop along with us! Click on the next button below, to see what Audra has to share!!
