PPP Blog Hop - Joy to the World

 Hello Everyone and welcome to the October Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! 

Have FUN and be INSPIRED as you hop along with us tonight!

This months kit is so pretty and has so many possibilities!

This month, I chose to stay traditional but bring the card up a notch!

I used my Sponge Brayer to add Mint Macaron to the embossed background (it was white to start with).  It is mounted onto a 3 1/8" x 4 1/4" piece of Early Espresso cardstock.  I added some gold thread from the Forever Greenery Ribbon pack along with some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots. 

Simple with a bit of elegance!

Up next is the very talented Janey Backer at Inspired Stamping!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop - A Kit In Color

Hello everyone and WELCOME to our PPP Blog Hop!  

Thanks for joining us and have FUN hopping along with us tonight!

This months Paper Pumpkin was super fun and bright!  

When I first looked at the stamps that came with it, I INSTANTLY thought McDonald's...and SMILES!

I decided to use it for BOTH!

First, I decided to create a card with a gift card holder on the inside!  

McDonald's is a BIG treat in our town because we have to drive about an hour to get to one...so it's DEFINITELY a big  treat!

 

I embossed the front only of my Real Red card base with the Subtle embossing folder.  Next I cut a scalloped rectangle with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies from Whisper White cardstock and stamped the sentiment on the bottom.  The Real Red and Whisper White circles are cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies.  I stamped the golden arches with Daffodil Delight ink.  The gingham 1" x 3 3/4" strip is from the Brights 6" x 6" designer paper packs.  I think the kiddo I give it too with LOVE it!

I LOVE emoji's and this one is super FUN!  I cut a Mini Curvy Keepsake Box from Daffodil Delight cardstock and stamped the SMILE with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  The large eye is punched with the 3/4" Circle Punch (sadly it's retiring).  The small eye is punched with the Tag Topper Punch (you just need a small strip of Whisper White cardstock for this).  Last, the pupils are cut with the stones from the Dino Dies with Basic Black cardstock.  The pupils are glued to the eyes with Multipurpose Glue, then the eyes are glued to the box with the same glue!  Isn't it CUTE?!!?

This was a really fun Paper Pumpkin to think out of the box with and tonight you're gonna have LOTS of GREAT INSPIRATION!!!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - Something for Everything

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Possibilities!  The December Paper Pumpkin kit is called Something for Everything and it is so pretty!  I hope you'll hop along with us for lots of FRESH ideas!!

My first alternative project is a candy tube.  I cut 1 1/2" from each side of a card base making a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" square that I could use to make this simple tube.  It's so easy...you simply add a strip of Tear & Tape to one side and roll it into a tube, like a toilet paper roll.  Next add more Tear & Tape to one end to close it.  Fill it with candy, punch a couple of holes in the top and tie it together with ribbon.  I used Crushed Curry Crinkled Seam Binding and Bulap Ribbon.  It's such a simple and bright project!

I also wanted to create an alternative card.  I have a son who lives in Phoenix and I need to send him a congratulations card.  I saw the stickers that come in the kit and immediately saw cactus's!  I attached them to a Stitched Rectangle with dimensionals after using my Sponge Brayer to color the sky Balmy Blue and createf the dessert sand with a scrap left over from the candy tube above.  The flowers are also stickers, but I attached them with dimensionals as well.  Last I stamped the sentiment onto another scrap from the tube in white embossing powder and heat embossed it with my heat gun.  Simple...but super cute and PERFECT for my Arizona kid!  I hope he likes it.  There's also some bling in the kit that would look cute on the flowers, but I don think my son would appreciate the bling...so I saved it for another project! LOL!!

Next up is Deb at The Flying Stamper!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - Bone Appetit

Hello everyone and WELCOME to tonight's Paper Pumpkins Possibilities Blog Hop!  I hope you'll follow along and be inspired by all the ideas that will be shared this evening!  This months kit is called Bone Appetit...and it's Halloween themed. 

The kit has all that you need to make these ADORABLE boxes...ten of each!

I really LOVE the boxes and I wanted to use them as boxes so I decided to create a CUTE carrier that holds two boxes!  I LOVE how it turned out!  To create the box take a 5" X 7 1/2" piece of Basic Black cardstock and score it at  1 1/2" on all four sides.  on the two short sides cut on the score lines up to the score line to make your box.  Next take a cut a 1" X 12" piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock for the band.  You'll soon discover that it doesn't make it all the way around the box, but that's okay because the empty space is hidden by the ADORABLE tag you'll be creating with the Paper Pumpkin supplies.  

You can see in the photo that I also used Black Glitter Organdy Ribbon around the band and I tied and frayed a piece of Whisper White Flax Ribbon for the tag.

Here's a side view of the box!

Here's a close up of that ADORABLE tag!  The tag, the cobweb, the skeleton and the sentiment all come with the kit!  Isn't it CUTE!!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - On My Mind

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!  I'm happy to be back at it and can't wait for you to see all of the wonderful creations made with the July Paper Pumpkin kit!  

ENJOY and BE INSPIRED!!

When I first looked at this months Paper Pumpkin kit I had a plan...but when I opened it and saw all of the pieces an new plan came to mind!

After separating the pieces I had a SCRAP rectangle frame that I would normally just throw away! Today, as I was in my workshop creating I saw POSSIBILITIES and I decided to create a card around that rectangle frame!  Boy do I LOVE how it turned out! 

All of the pieces and card base are from the kit but I also used the Sailing Home stamp set for the sentiment, an anchor from the Sail Away Trinkets and a silver Designer element for the center of the ships wheel.  OF COURSE, I added some Linen Thread too! I hope you love it as much as I loved creating it!

THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by and allowing me to share what I love to do...with you!  Have a wonderful evening and have FUN hopping!!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Poppin' Birthday

Hello everyone! I'm participating in my FIRST Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop this evening! I hope you'll join the fun...follow along and find LOTS of INSPIRATION! You'll be seeing some great ideas on different ways of using your March Paper Pumpkin kits!

For my project I used one of the insides of the cards from the kit and cut in in half.  That way you can make two cards from one. After cutting it in half, I cut it down to 3 3/4" X 5" and  layered it onto a 3 7/8" X 4 7/8" piece of Bermuda Bay carcstock. Before attaching it to my card base (which is part of the kit), I added Pearl Basic Jewels to each layer of the cake. I used one of the tags in the kit to stamp HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY (with the included stamp set) in Bermuda Bay ink.  I cut the edge straight and added some more pearls. The "7" is attached with Mini Dimensionals and I added Mini Striped Bermuda Bay Ribbon, Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle, Linen Thread and Silver Baker's Twine at the top! The candles are part of the kit as well...you can see that I added seven candles...to match my "7"...because someone special is turning SEVEN!! I'm excited for you to see all of the other ALTERNATIVE Paper Pumpkin ideas. You can HOP along by clicking on the pumpkin below!  Next up is Deb Naylor at The Flying Stamper!!

Have you already subscribed to Paper Pumpkin?  If not, now is a great time to join the fun! The April kit's focus is distinktive stamp(s). The stamps made with this distinktive process apply  the ink at different opacities giving the finished image more depth. There’s nothing tricky about how to apply the ink: just ink the surface lightly for a perfect photographic finish.  

Be sure you subscribe by April 10th.
