PPP Blog Hop - April 2025 - Inked Occasions

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 "Inked Occasions".

These are the original projects:

This kit makes 9 cards with matching envelopes. The coordinating colours are Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Peach Pie, Pool Party and Gold.

It also coordinates with the "Hugs Abloom" dies.

This is my alternate card idea:

Pocket Card Front

Pocket Card Inside

Tag

The card bases in this kit are so pretty and colourful! Before I made my regular kit cards and my alternate project, I cut all the bases in half on the fold line. I can then make 18 cards using the colourful pieces for my card fronts. I used stamps from the kit stamp set and one of the dies from the "Hugs Abloom" dies. The list of the products I used (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!
