PP Blog Hop - December 2024 - Notes from the Heart

 



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 December Paper Pumpkin kit "Notes From the Heart".

These are the original projects:


This kit has a wonderful stamp set that contains greetings for the cards in the kit. There are 8 different greetings. The kit makes 9 cards with envelopes (3 of each design).

I took one of the card fronts and cut it in half on the score line. I then adjusted the size to 4" x 5-1/4" for my card front. (Did some surgery in the length so that I still had the scallop edge on the right side!). I then took one of the images and cut the image apart leaving me two different images. I die cut some Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and used the scrap edges on the vellum to cut the fern from the Merry Tags & More Dies.

These are my two alternate cards:

Card 1
I used the negative of the vellum leaves to add the leaf pattern to the card front. I used both Old Olive and Mossy Meadow ink.


Card 2
I used the Fern Embossing Folder to the card front and then added both Old Olive and Mossy Meadow ink with a Blending Brush.


The inside is the same in both cards.


The list of the products (other than those in the Paper Pumpkin kit) can be found at the end of the post.

Thank you for joining us as we share with you the possibilities of Paper Pumpkin, Now hop through all the great Paper Pumpkin alternate project ideas!

Christmas Packages

I made some special gift packages for my Ladies Curling Team and a few other special ladies!  I found something similar to this online and adapted it to the supplies I could find to make the project.  Then I found these great bag wraps that matched at the Dollarama!  I found this amazing wide ribbon on clearance at a local craft store.

A lot of fun to make these and find some coordinating pieces to decorate with.  Hope they enjoy!


This one has a red and white sparkly bow.


This one has a green and red sparkly bow.

Here is the wrap that I found and put on each of the ones that I made.



I thought they were very festive and looked appetizing (Cocoa, marshmallows and candy canes!)

Sentimental Christmas and Humble Home Card

Sometimes your Christmas cards do not have to be red and green.  My card I am sharing today is that kind of card but it is still very festive!  It does have some Cherry Cobbler ribbon and the sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler too!

I really love the 2 types of houses that you can create using the Humble Home Bundle.  The ones on the side are 2nd generation (or stamped off once!)

The inside is left blank with some pieces of the coordinating pieces of cardstock at the bottom.  You can add your own greeting or message.
