ICS Blog Hop - August 2025 - Favourite Bundle

For this month, August, we are creating projects with our favourite bundle! Believe me this is a hard task as there are so many wonderful bundles found in the Annual Catalogue and the Online Exclusives!

I have chosen to share a card with you using the Cheers & Sips bundle that is part of the Celebratory Sips Suite that is an Online Exclusive. It has such fun colours and images that are so summery and make me feel happy!

To make the glasses look wet I use Versamark and Clear Embossing powder over the image!

PPP Blog Hop - July 2025 - Sweeter With You

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!

The beauty of the Paper Pumpkin kit is that you can follow the direction 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 July Paper Pumpkin kit "Sweeter With You".

These are the original projects:

This kit makes 8 cards (2 of each design) with coordinating envelopes. The coordinating colours are Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger. The Stampin' Spot is Garden Green.

For my alternate card project, I used the kit items included plus some other supplies that will be listed at the bottom of this post. To make my basket I used the negative from the kit to trace a pattern on the DSP and then cut it out with my snips. A piece of the tissue from the box was used for the inside of my basket! The Circle of Season Dies, the coordinating Add-On were used also. July is a great time to pick strawberries!

Thank you for joining us as we share the possibilities of this great Paper Pumpkin kit, "Sweeter than You". Now hop through all the alternate project using the list below.
