Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects for “Layer It Up” – showcasing our favorite Designer Series Paper and embellishments. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Recently I saw a great 6″ x 6″ One Sheet Wonder template used by fellow Stampin’ Up! demo – Megan Daves. I used it to do a FB live video where I made this adorable birthday cards and tag. You can view that FB live video by CLICKING HERE.
These cards were made using the Pressed Petals DSP, Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow and Rococo Rose cardstock. I just love that our DSP lists all the colors used in it, so we can easily coordinate with perfectly matched CS.
Rococo Rose CS die cut using the Delicate Lace Dies to give a fancy edge that went great with the beautiful DSP.
The layering ovals dies and Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set made for great focal points for these cards. A cute little bow using the braided linen ribbon gives it the final touch.
I couldn’t let that last little piece go to waste. It was perfect for making this cute little tag. This would work great on the gift to go with the birthday card.
Here is the template I used:

Hi Stampers. Today we are sharing with you, alternative ideas for the October 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit – Winter Woods. It’s a beautiful kit and next month coordinates with it!
The original design was almost too pretty to make alternatives, so I made it very similar, but a fancy fold easel card.
My card props up for display – since it is so pretty, it can be a Christmas decoration as well as a card!
The label with the sentiment on it, is popped up on dimensionals to hold the card open.
I love how the front has the 3D effect with those trees. I saved the negative of the trees, there is plenty of room in the middle to die cut more things out of that gorgeous shimmer white!

Hi Stampers. Welcome back for another Inspire, Create & Share Blog Hop. This time we have been issued a color challenge. They challenged us to make a card or project using: Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape & Silver. This is a great combination for a Halloween card!
I made my card using the Spooktacular Bash stamp set. It was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest by Amy Koenders. I used her layout, but changed up the colors to match our challenge.
I wanted to feature the cute little vampire from the Spooktacular Bash stamp set. He is featured in a silver foil frame and colored in using the stampin’ blends. The frame was die cut from the silver foil using the Ornate Frames Dies. Truthfully, those dies are why I bought this bundle. I can see using this bundle all year long!
My vampire is set on a 2″ tag and has the phrase Happy Halloween above him and some of that awesome Black ribbon over that, tied with a bit of white bakers twine. The two words “happy” and “halloween” are from the A Wish For Everything stamp set. They were stamped onto Whisper White CS and cut out with another frame from the Ornate Frames Dies. Can’t you just see that frame being used with sentiments all year long?!?!
The pumpkin pie layer is dry embossed using the Bricks & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.

Hi Stampers. Welcome back for another Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop. We are here today to show you alternatives to the September 2019 kit – Bone Appetit. This goes to show I’m old but when I first saw this kit, this card idea popped into my head. Anyone else out there old enough to recognize the Grateful Dead? The Grateful Dead were form in Palo Alto in Northern California – back near my home town.
Here is my card and 3D item – the skeleton was a little small for the coffin treat box, but he looks kinda cute hanging out in there…
This card was created based on my looking at a poster I found on Pinterest. You can see that pin HERE. The background is sponged and then I sponged ink onto the skeleton die cuts from the kit. It didn’t look right without the top hats, so I had to hand cut those. But, I think the end result was worth it.
I wasn’t quite sure what to do as an alternative for those little boxes that came in the kit, so I cut one apart to line the inside of my coffin with it. The spider web was a perfect fit for the top of my coffin.
I hope my alternative ideas inspire you to create something fun with your September Paper Pumpkin kit! There are many more ideas to follow, so just click the link below to continue on the hop.

Hi Stampers. Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects for “It’s the Sentiment That Counts” – showcasing new or favorite sentiments as the focal point of their project. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
When searching for which stamp set to use for this – focus on the sentiment project, I reached out for the Genuine Gems stamp set. It has this “awesome” large sentiment! I knew I wanted to color with the stampin’ blends – but what color? Since it’s feeling a bit like fall, I wanted to use Cajun Craze.
Next, I spent some time trying to match colors and then remembered to use my Stampin’ Up! color coach! The color coach gave me three choices on what to pair Cajun Craze with. I chose to use Merry Merlot and Crumb Cake. I cut my layers using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. This made layering super easy! I decided to stick with just the cardstock and the sentiment with a touch of linen trim. No other images and no DSP ensured the focus is on the sentiment!
The sentiment was stamped onto Very Vanilla CS using Merry Merlot ink. I colored in the larger letters using the Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends Duo and accented the shadow with a bit of Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend. The braided linen thread is wrapped above and below the sentiment. The bow was created separately and attached with mini glue dots. Snail adhesive was used on the first two layers , but the Very Vanilla layer is popped up on dimensionals. This made it easy to ensure the braided linen trim didn’t prevent the layer from laying flat.
Inside the card, I used a layer of Very Vanilla CS. I stamped the inside sentiment in Merrry Merlot and then added a 1″ strip of Cajun Craze CS, a 3/4″ strip of Crumb Cake CS and a 1/2″ strip of Merry Merlot CS layered near the bottom. Quick, easy and focused on the sentiment! Give it a try – “YOU’VE GOT THIS”!

Hi Stampers. Welcome back for another ICS Blog Hop – I’m just Over the Moon for this Fall / Autumn theme! Starbucks has their pumpkin spice latte back in stock so we know “fall is in the air”!
When I thought about what stamp set I wanted to use for this fall theme – I pulled out the Country Home stamp set. That milk can is just too cute! The sentiments from the Country Home stamp set were a perfect fit, too!
It’s only natural that the milk can should be paired with the cow in our super cute, Over The Moon stamp set! I stamped the cow first and them masked it and then stamped the milk can. Next, I masked them both and sponged the sky and grass.
Stampin’ Tip: If you want to make it look like two images are one stamp – use masking. Masking means that you stamp the item you want in front first, then stamp the same image onto another piece of paper (I use post it notes) and cut it out. Place this “mask” over the original image and then stamp the next image.
The wagon wheel is from the Country Road stamp set. I stamped in Soft Suede and die cut it using the layering circles dies. The wheel was placed behind the stitched oval and the two were attached with stampin’ dimensionals.
This was a fun one to color with the stampin’ blends! (I had soponged the sky and grass and then used the light seaside spray to fill in any white close to my image on the top and a light crumb cake to fill in any space on the bottom). Since the cow and milk can reminded me of being down on the farm – the pinewood planks embossing folder and the burlap ribbon just felt like a natural fit!
I sponged a little Garden Green (grass) and Crumb Cake (dirt) inks and stamped the cow popping in from the right. Isn’t that inside sentiment sweet!?! You just can’t go wrong with either one of these sets – but together they are just over the top cute!!
These are the Measurements:
Thick Whisper White CS – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″ (base)
Very Vanilla CS – 5-1/4″ x 4″
Very Vanilla CS – approx. 3″ x 2″ (for oval)
Very Vanilla CS – approx. 2″ x 2″ (for wheel)
Very Vanilla – 5″ x 5/8″
Soft Suede – 5″ x 3/4″
Burlap Ribbon – approx. 7″
