Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop: Time for Cake

Hello friends, and hopefully, fellow Paper Pumpkin subscribers. We are playing with the August kit, Time for Cake. As you can imagine, it is birthday themed! 

While I love most kits as planned by Stampin' Up! it is always fun to see what other things can be done with each kit. So, grab a cuppa' and let's see what everyone has come up with this month. 

I try to focus my cards on the stamps, cuz once the kit is all made up, that is what you have left!  I love the stamps that come with it! Great little images and the sentiments... Love the mixed font of "Make a Wish, "the little "celebrate" and the "lost count" stamps! And the cute little candles and balloons, make these stamps ones I will use again!

I did use part of a kit card front and the inside of an envelope for my card. Added some Wink of Stella and some rhinestones to complete it, cuz a little bling is always good!

Here is a close up of the candles, though you still cannot see the bling. I hope you are inspired to create your kit now, or possibly something new.

Let's hop on over to the next blog to see what creation they have. Leave a little love, via the comments, if you see something you like. Follow along on the list below.

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'!

IDEAS Blog Hop: Holidays

 

Hello friends! It is time for another IDEAS Blog Hop. July's theme is "Holidays". It could be Christmas, or 4th of July, or Thanksgiving, or even going on a holiday with your family and/or friends. What is your interpretation of holiday?

Here is a collage that gives you a sneak peek of what we each thought of: 

While, I normally go with a traditional US holiday, I went with a travel theme this time. I used the new Flying By Stamp Set. I love these little elements, the plane, the alien and especially those cute little paper airplanes! Cute images and cute sayings make up this set. My tutorial projects are exclusive the bundle, but here is an alternative for you: 

Don't forget the inside. There are 2 paper airplanes, must use them both!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop: Life is Sweet

 

Hi there!! Thanks for coming along on the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. We love Paper Pumpkin and how fast & easy it is to make the kits the way they were designed. But we also, love to show you different ways to use them!

I normally like to showcase the stamp sets in our kits. That way once all the kit components are used up, you still have inspiration on using the stamps. However, this month there were no images, only words. So, I did pull some of the extra peaches from the kit and used those. 

So, here is my card: 

Now, mind you, I am not complaining about the words. I love the sentiments in this kit. They are sweet words for friendships, and I like that they can be inside or outside words!

And, did you see the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Paper?! I love the sparkle of this stuff, and that the glitter doesn't fall of!! This is a must have, the colors are gorgeous!

And if you didn't get the dies to go with the April 2024- June 2024 kits, do it quickly. I used 2 of them on this card. They will be gone soon, and Stampin' Up! will be moving on to the July - Sept add on! Thanks & Beyond Dies Item # 164397

Thanks for hanging out with me for a bit! Follow the list for the other projects using this months kit, Life is Sweet!

Until next time...
