Paper Pumpkin Possibilities: Fall for Toile

 

Hello fellow Paper Pumpkin subscribers and those that should be!! This month's fall themed kit, Fall for Toile, is fabulous!! The stamps, the sentiments, the cards!! Love it all!!

Here are the cards as designed, and great designs they are!!

I really like to show alternate projects using the stamps, so you have ideas for those after all the consumables are gone. I think I said I love the stamps this month. They make it so easy to design other projects, since they include images and sentiments. Here is my alternate project, a cute bag:

I added a Thick White cardstock for the bag (5 12/" x 8 1/2"), a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock, the twine, and a couple more colors of ink. I watercolored the front of the bag, then stamped the birds & the leaves. I used the kit card bases for the strips, but these could be replaced with cardstock or other Designer Series Papers. I love that we get extra sentiment strips in each kit, just in case of a boo-boo.... but obviously, since I don't plan on having any of those, lol, they can be used for other projects too. 

Enjoy the hop, and leave a comment, if you feel so inclined. We love it when you share the love!! 

Until next time...

Happy craftin'!

09/26/23 Creative Crafternoon - CASE the Mini Catalog, pg 20

 Hi friends! Thanks for joining me on my CASE the Catalog journey. This week, I CASEd the September - December Mini Catalog. Better known in Stampin' Up! Circles as the Holiday Mini. I used a design from page 20. 

I used pumpkins instead of trees, used different Designer Series Paper, and turned the card horizontal instead of vertical, but really the same card...lol!! 

Here is mine:

Check out page 20 and let me know what you think.

Until next time...

PPP Blog Hop: Haunts and Harvest

 

Hello Stampers!! Thanks for joining us on tonight's Blog Hop featuring the September Paper Pumpkin kit: Haunts & Harvest. We all love Paper Pumpkin, and love to show you the possibilities that each kit contains, whether you make it just like it shows in the kit directions, or if you change it up to your liking!

This month's kit feature 12 treat boxes that could be made into Halloween Jack-o-lanterns or into Harvest pumpkins, or a mixture of each. The really unique thing about this kit, is the box itself can be made into a wheelbarrow to hold your pumpkins or Jack-o-lanterns and the cutting instructions are already on the box for you!! What a cool idea! 

Here is what that looks like:

I haven't decided what to do with my treat boxes just yet, so went with an alternate card. I used several of the stamps, cut up one of the treat boxes into strips, and even cut a strip from the box to use. Why not, since the rest is going to get cut up anyway?!

Here is my card:

I used the reverse side of the leaves and using a blending brush, I softly inked them up. I also used the negative part of the leaf as a template for inking the other leaves cascading down the side of the card. I also added some to the card inside. I love how they turned out, they look so soft. 

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop! Click the next button and hop on over to Janey's blog and see if she went with Haunts or Harvest?!
