PPP Blog Hop: Sunshine & Smiles

 

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. Our mission is to show you alternate projects using the Paper Pumpkin kit contents. We love Paper Pumpkin, and I usually love the projects as intended, but....it is also fun to change them up. I also like to use the stamps so people can see how to use the stamps, once the kit is gone. 

Here is my alternate card for the Sunshine and Smiles kit: 

I used a Thick Basic White Card base and some Basic White to stamp the flowers and frog on. I cut them out with the add-on Dies. And I used Stampin' Blends to color the flowers and frog. Everything else came from the kit. 

This kit was so cute! And the add-on dies were awesome. Hope Stampin' Up! will do dies again!! 

Let's hop on over to Jennifer's blog to see what alternate project she made using the February kit. 

Thanks for stopping by!!

IDEAS Blog Hop: That's So "Suite" of You!

Hello crafters!  I'm so excited to share our February IDEAS Blog Hop with you today. The theme is "That's So Suite of You". We are featuring products from some of the Stampin' Up! suites, Annual and Mini Catalog Suites. What is a Suite", you ask? Well, as Suite is more than a bundle. It typically will have coordinating Designer Series Paper (DSP), and embellishments and/or ribbon, in addition to the stamp and dies and/or punch.  

This graphic is a sneak peek at the some of the projects in our February IDEAS Tutorial Bundle.

Our tutorial is full of amazing creative ideas! I am using the Butterfly Kisses Suite from the Annual Catalog. My actual tutorial designs are secret and exclusively shared in the tutorial.  But, here is a another project, not included in the bundle, using the products from the  same suite. Consider it a bonus project, my gift to you!

 

 There are over 80 pages of fabulous projects from 15 global demonstrators. Each tutorial designer features at least two projects, some more. The projects include cards, home decor and treat/gift holders. The tutorial has color photos, imperial and metric measurements and step by step instruction to guide you.

Would you like a copy of the tutorials for these projects for your personal use, or even to use in your classes? Contact your member demonstrator or me.  I offer three options to acquire our IDEAS tutorial bundle:

1. Place a $35 order with my online host code. Order 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. Thanks for your support!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities: Key to My Heart

Hello!! If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber and are looking for alternate project ideas, you have come to the right place! If you aren't a subscriber, why not?! 

This is the monthly, Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop, and we are here to show you some fun "other" things you can do with your January kit: Key to My Heart.

Here are the cards as designed: 

I only used a couple of items from the kit. I chose to focus on the stamp set, and used items from my Stampin' Up! stash. 

I did cut up one of the envelopes, cuz I loved the print in Fresh Freesia on the inside of the envelopes, and made it part of my card. I stamped the key on the back of our gold foil paper and fussy cut it out. Designer Tags dies used for the 2 cute tags.

Let me know what you think. Then, let's hop on over to Charmane's blog to see what she has done with her kit.  

If you are interested in what next month's kit holds...here is what we know so far: 

February's kit has lots of fun things to look forward to....

It coordinates with the Rain or Shine Suite Collection (item number 160556) from the January–April 2023 Mini Catalog.

It has for the first time EVER, Stampin' Up! is introducing dies as a Paper Pumpkin kit add-on*! These two dies, the flower and frog. 

Please note, you will need a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to use the dies.

This or That Stampin'

Hi friends!

Did you know that in addition to Tuesday Creative Crafternoon's, I also do a Thursday Facebook live? It is called This or That Stampin'. Each Wednesday afternoon, I post a couple of stamp sets for my followers to view and vote on. I check the totals on Thursday morning, and then come up with a project using the winning set. 

Here was last week's choices:

The turtles won by a large margin! So, I got to creating, and here is what I made:

The paper behind the turtle is inked, and then spritzed with water to give it a water look. I think it came out beautifully! What do you think! 

Join me next week for the Owls to face off against another great set! 

Wednesday afternoon to get your vote in and then Thursday at 6:00pm CT to see what I make.

Creative Crafternoon 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder Series

 Hi friends! Did you know that I go live every Tuesday on Facebook with a Creative Crafternoon? I just like stamping with friends and this way I can stamp with you, no matter where you are! Plan on joining me each Tuesday at 4:00pm CT to chat, laugh, and watch me stamp, or at least make an attempt, lol!

For January's Creative Crafternoon's we are working through a 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder. Each week I cut a little more of the Designer Series Paper and make another card with it. Don't worry if you missed the first two weeks, I will show you the cards here, then you can watch the rest of the month.

Week 1

and, Week 2:

I have been using products from the Country Floral Suite including the Country Bouquet Bundle (stamp set and punch) and the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP). Next week I am going to flip the DSP over and work with the print from the other side. Isn't it wonderful that we have 2 sides to work with?! 

Won't you join me? Here is the link to my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/creativechaoscraftin

Pop in and say "hi"!!

Until next time...
