PPP Blog Hop - My Wonderful Family

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! The beauty of the Paper Pumpkin kit is that you can follow the directions provided in the kit to make the projects as they were designed, or use the supplies as a starting point and let your creativity run wild.

On this hop we will be sharing lots of ideas with you on how to use the
April Paper Pumpkin kit: "My Wonderful Family".

It is a great time to connect with your family members. Send them some happy mail whether they live near or far!

These are the original cards:

The kit makes 8 cards with matching envelopes.

The Coordinating Colours are:  Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo, Mint Macaron, PeraPizzazz,Shaded Spruce and Soft Sea Foam.

I made one change to the original project with the Dark leaf spray on the front. I just was not happy about covering up the amazing sentiment on the front of the card, so I cut a piece of vellum 3-5/8" x 4-5/8" and attached it on the left side of the sentiment.

Then I added my leaf spray, greeting, ribbon and embellishments as pictured in the directions.

These are my alternate projects:

       

 


To make the flower for the Mother's Day card I stamped the image on the DSP as shown and then fussy cut with my snips.

                  

 

 The supplies for my projects are listed below.
