Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Hope Box


Welcome to the monthly Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. Each month our team explores the crafting kit from Paper Pumpkin to determine all the possibilities for alternate designs.  Here is the kit unboxing video to show the intended designs:


This is one of the card designs as instructed by the box instructions.


This is how the die cut arrives and you need to punch it out to use it.


I love all the color on the negative sheet so I had to use it!  I trimmed it down to fit the card base.  I also added some of the ribbon from the suggested box decor.


And placed it on the card base in place of the intended colorful die cut.  This kit included 3 languages for the printed sentiment labels. I used the German and French sentiment labels to create a framed shadow effect.


Here is the next card assembled as instructed.  I love the bright, tie-die look on the banner strips.


One my first alternate design I cut each banner in half and then created a pinwheel pattern behind the sentiment.  I also added some of the ribbon from the suggested box decor.


The negative sheet from all of those banner pieces caught my eye again: don't toss the negative pieces! By cutting the banners pieces in half lengthwise I created frame pieces for the tops and sides but I let the bottom white space show.  I suppose I could have fussy cut that side, what do you think?



As you can tell I was immensely inspired by this kit and the many beautiful elements that were included for the 9 cards in Paper Pumpkin's August Hope Box.

Recap for the August Demo Connect Event

 


Hello friends! I am excited to share my recent Demo Connect Event.  Each year I hold 3-4 of these events to help my team and other local demonstrators connect, share creativity, and enjoy an afternoon of fun!


Each demonstrator made 2 different pinwheel cards with different designer series paper.


We are making pinwheel cards here:


It was fun to share new designs with the group.


We made this card with the Peaceful Deer Bundle,  Wonderful Snowflakes, and White Glittered Organdy Ribbon.  The Be Dazzling Paper, and Peaceful Prints designer series paper came from our Sale-a-bration promotion. 


At intermission time each person got a bag of homemade caramel corn - it was a popular treat!  The Bumblebee gingham ribbon looked perfect with the caramel color.


Then we worked on making Designer Series Paper samplers for the new Mini Catalog paper products.



We also made this fancy fold card, the video below is my tutorial for the fancy fold card.


It was a really fun gathering and I am so glad that I get to serve my team and other demonstrators with tools and projects to spread joy!

ICS Blog Hop Counting Sheep


Welcome to our August Inspire, Create, Share blog hop featuring Sale-a-brations products.  Sale-a-bration is a fun promotion August 3 - September 30 that rewards you with a selection of free product gifts for a qualifying order of $50+ and every increment of $50 earns another gift!  I am sharing our Counting Sheep stamps and coordinating Sheep Dies.

When I saw this dancing sheep I knew I HAD to have it.  Then when I got our Be Dazzled Specialty paper in my hands I *knew* that my dancing sheep had to have a disco ball! Am I goofball or what?!?


I stamped my sheep on Basic White card stock and colored them with  the following Stampin' Blends colors.


I die cut several circles from the Magenta Madness layer that no one sees.  These are adhered and stacked under the Be Dazzled circle. 


The silver cord from the Simply Elegant trim was the perfect knotted tether to hang my disco ball.  Here you can see all my layers and colors from a side angle.  Do you see I also snuck in the Textures and Frames stamp set?  It is another Sale-a-bration gift option!  All of my supplies are listed at the end of my post.


Of course the Basic Black card base needed a liner for the interior greeting.


Sale-a-bration is an exciting time to collect fun gifts that are exclusive and available for a short time. Don't miss out on these creative and inspiring choices!  Join me to hop over to my dear friend's blog, Deb will have something amazing to share tonight.  Click on the arrow below:
