PPP Blog Hop "Sunshine and Smiles"

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!

We are all fans of this monthly crafting kit and want to share with you our enthusiasm for this box of fun and creativity. The beauty of Paper Pumpkin kit is that you can follow the directions provided in the kit and make the projects as they were designed or use the supplies as a starting point and let your creative spirit soar. On this hop we will be sharing lots of ideas with you on how to use the January Paper Pumpkin Kit: "Sunshine and Smiles".

Make cloudy days a little brighter with the Sunshine & Smiles Paper Pumpkin Kit! This kit includes nine sweet and sunny cards—three each of three designs. If someone you know is weathering a storm, this kit is just what you’ll need to create cards that are sure to brighten their day! I really love these super cute gingham cards bases. I cut two of the gingham card bases and created these cards. The first card is layer on top of the pink "Good Things" Add-on card base.

I decided to add the turtle from the "Rise and Shine" designer series paper. I thought he was just too cute with his yellow umbrella.

Oh my I just love all the cute characters in the kit. Check out the video below and see all the cute materials in this kit!

Thanks for checking out my alternate and I really hope it inspires you. Now let's hop over to Deb's page and see the cute alternate she shared!

ICS Blog Hop "Sale-a-bration" Inspiration

Hello and welcome to February ICS Blog Hop!

This month's theme is "Introducing Sale-a-Brations". Sale-a-bration is one of my favorite Stampin' Up promotions. You can earn Free products in three ways; shopping, hosting and joining. Today I wanted to share some cards I created using the Sale-a-Bration Bundle "Eden's Garden". You can get this super cute bundle for Free when your order before shipping is more than a $100. The blossoms and foliage images in this stamp set are so pretty. I decided to create "Stamped One Sheet Wonder" and the inspiration for these cards came from Debbie Henderson.

I really wanted a great way to spotlight the blossoms and foliage, so I used the 2021 - 2023 in-colors to create my Stamped One Sheet Wonder and they turned out better than I thought. The inspiration for this technique and these cards came from Debbie Henderson.
