Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop: Good Things Come in Small Packages

 

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!) Hop along with us, as we will share alternate ideas on how we used the December Paper Pumpkin Kit: Good Things Come in Small Packages.

This month's kit makes 16 Gift Card holders. Each box and band are reversible, making it possible for 16 different designs, or very close to it.

There is also a Good Things Cards & Envelopes add-on. You get 20 cards (5 each of 4 designs) and 20 coordinating envelopes. 

I used one of the add on cards and created this card using kit contents for everything else:

And don't forget the inside...

 

Glad you could join us, and hope you have been inspired to get your kit out and create. Now, go with me over to Dana's blog to see what alternate project she has created to share with us!

 

Hope you enjoy the hop! It would be awesome if you leave comments on our projects along the way!! 

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'!

ICS Blog Hop: Thank you with Splendid Thoughts

 

Hi friends!! This is the best way to end the 2022 Inspire Create Share Blog Hops with a "Thank You" theme! And most thank you's should end with a hug! So here is my hug to you for following along with us, commenting along the way and supporting us over the past year. 

I used the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set and the Splendid Stems Dies. They are on the Last Chance list, so don't walk to grab them, RUN! 

Such a beautiful set; plants and ferns, along with the combo font sentiments, makes this a great set to have in your stash! And Thursday, December 12th is FREE shipping day, so perfect timing!

I cannot wait to see how the other demos say "Thank you!"

Until next time...

IDEAS Blog Hop: We are Cut Out to be Friends

 

Hello, and welcome to the IDEAS Blog Hop. The IDEAS team is made of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. We pick a very broad theme each month and create to it. This month's theme is "We are Cut Out to be Friends." It is themed around cutting of any sort; die cutting, fussy cutting, punching, etc. 

Here is a collage with snippets of everyone's projects this month, just to give you an idea of what is included. 

Some demonstrators show their projects, others like myself, keep them secret for the tutorial bundle. But, I do give you an alternate project, or bonus project, if you please. So, here is my alternate project. It required dies cutting and punching, and a lot of hand cutting by yours truly! Hope you like it...

This month's bundle has projects by 13 global demonstrators. It includes has over 60 pages and over 20 project ideas! Each tutorial includes a supply list, color photos, instructions and measurements in both imperial and metric.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop: From the North Pole

 

Hello there! Here we are almost in December? Have you knocked out much of your Christmas shopping? Well, either way... all those well thought out gifts will need to be wrapped, so this month's kit is very will timed! 

I love these tags that the kit was designed to make! They are going to be so useful on my gifts this year!

But, our goal here is to show you alternate projects using the kit! I am torn, cuz I like to show stuff using the kit contents, but also I think about..."what happens when the kit is all used up and all you have are the stamps?"

So, today, my card uses just the stamps, part of an add-on coordinating North Pole sack, and a maybe a little bit of leftover sparkle paper....

I love how this turned out! And I love how the stamps are forever, even after the kits are used up!

Here are the add-on gift sacks if you haven't seen them!

Well, you have lots more projects to look at, so let's click on the pumpkin below, and hop on over to Dana's blog to see what she has in store for us! Happy Hopping!

Until next time...

Artistic Mix Decorative Masks

 

Hello friends! 

Happy Hump Day!! 

This is a card using the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks. I used masking paper and masked off every 2 rows and alternated Pool Party and Pacific Point inks to get the background.

 
I used a stamp set, Framed & Festive from the new Fitting Florets suite. Love the oval dies!!! I used the bird and snowflakes from All Bundled Up.

You can watch the video of how I did it here. 

I am enjoying exploring all the different ways to use the masks. 

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'! 

IDEAS Blog Hop: Faux Wood Burning

 

Giving Thanks is the November theme! I cannot wait to see everyone's projects. I am trying to be more thankful in my life and for the blessings I have. I am hoping to find some fun projects to use to show those around me how thankful I am for them!  I tried a new (to me) technique called Wood Faux Burning. I cannot wait to share it with you. 

Here is a collage of all the projects in the bundle. It gives you a little sneak peek of what to expect. 

And...since my projects are exclusive to the bundle, here is an alternate card I made using the same technique. Early Espresso ink is a deep brown color, but it is really made up of greens and reds and even a some yellows, all of which can be seen on the card, once you start adding some water and brushing over the design. 

November's tutorial includes creations by 12 international demonstrators, and is over 60 pages long. It contains more than 25 projects ideas, from simple to complex, and with lots of techniques to get your creative juices flowing! Each tutorial includes a supply list, color photos, instructions and measurements in both imperial and metric.

Would you like to get a copy of these tutorials for your personal use, or even to use the projects in your business?  I offer you 3 ways to either purchase, or get the tutorial bundle for FREE!

1. Place a $35 order here with my online host code to get it free!
