PPP Blog Hop - Sending Good Thoughts

 

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 July Paper Pumpkin kit "Sending Good Thoughts".

These are the original projects:

Here is my alternate project:

I used the card base from the stamp set, the stamp set, the label and the Bermuda Bay Stampin' Spot that was included in the kit.

For my background I used the negatives from the punch out pieces and added colour with ink and blending brushes.

I found these cute bottles at my local dollar store and used one on my card with some sand and a message. (Message in a bottle!)

The additional supplies used for my alternate cards will be listed below.

Thank you for joining us as we share with you the possibilities of Paper Pumpkin. Now hop over to my friend Terri's where you will find another great Paper Pumpkin alternate project idea.

One of the Sale-A-Bration offers includes the Hippest Hippos stamp set (159921) and the Hippo Dies (159928).  Each can be received free when you place a $60 order before taxes and shipping.  So if your order is $120 or more you can get them both!

Sale-A-Bration items are available until August 31st or as long as supplies last.  Unfortunately the Pool Party & Soft Seafoam Cards and Envelopes have sold out in North America.

Here is my card using the Hippest Hippos, Hippo dies,  and another Sale-A-Bration stamp set.

I made this using one of my favourite colour combinations.....the 2 New In Colours; Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party!

New Annual Catalogue Swap - Cup of Tea

I often join card swaps so that I can have many different ideas and cards to share with my team and customers at events.  I cannot buy everything so it is nice when I get samples using other products that I do not have in my craft room.

My swap card that I am sharing today was for the Annual Catalogue and I used my favourite Suite for it.  I also used a few of the new In Colours.

This card highlights some of the amazing Designer Series Paper from the 6x6 pack that has all the new In Colours in the papers.

I often use my Stampin' Blends to colour pearls to coordinate with my project just like on this card!

Happiness Abounds

I have made this card in a number of colours that match the flowers in this amazing Designer Series Paper.  It is one of my favourite papers! This is the Hues of Happiness Suite.

The background die that comes with this bundle is really pretty and I have used it to showcase the coordinating colour that I used on this card.
