Hi Stampers, today I am participating in another Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop. (Below, I have provided a blog hop line up for you). The September 2020 paper Pumpkin kit is called “Hello, Pumpkin” and is filled with adorable little treat boxes. Today I am making a few of the treats up as they intended. Come back on Tuesday, September 29th for my alternative ideas for this kit.
I assembled and decorated two of the “crackers” and made the 3″ x 3″ card with pieces from the kit, per the directions. (Well, sort of… LOL).
The “crackers” came pre-cut and pre-scored, all I had to do was put some adhesive and roll it up and tie the ends. The paper was double sided, so you could choose to do one pattern or the other – or BOTH!
The pumpkin and all the little pieces were already die cut, I just punched them out and attached them using the adhesives provided in the kit. I stamped the “Hello Pumpkin” in Pumpkin Pie ink (the kit came with Cajun Craze ink) using the cute stamp set in the kit.
For this one, I did pretty much the same thing, just used different elements and the black bakers twine this time instead of white.
This cute little 3″ x 3″ card was also an idea from the kit. I just love that Paper Pumpkin gives us more supplies than we need and then additional ideas to use for those extra supplies!

Hi Stampers, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created projects where “It’s the Sentiment that Counts.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
We were asked to make the sentiment the focal point and what better way to do that, then with a waterfall effect giving us one letter at a time.
This card has a Basic Black CS with a layer of Flowers For Every Season DSP.
The card features all five of the 2020-2022 In-Colors as flaps in the waterfall. Each flap has a letter of the word “Hello”. These letters were cut out of Whisper White CS (after adhering an adhesive sheet to the back), using the Playful Alphabet Dies.
The waterfall mechanism moves when you pull on the small piece of Misty Moonlight ribbon at the end.
At the end of the waterfall is another sentiment and a few images from the Press On stamp set. The images were then colored using the Stampin’ Blends.
Inside the card is a steaming cup of coffee stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink, with a Magenta Madness heart in the center, on a layer of Whisper White CS. To make it less lonely, I stamped some coffee beans in the upper left and lower right corner in Early Espresso ink and colored them with the dark Soft Suede Stampin’ Blend.
See this waterfall card in action in the video below:
I just love how this came out and will be making another version of this on my Facebook Live class next Monday. So fun!
More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on October 14th when our theme is “Tag, You’re It!” Participants will showcase tags or 3D items that will be great for gifts for any occasion. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.
Hi Stampers, welcome back for another blog hop with the Global Stamping friends. Things around here have been CRAZY BUSY, but when I saw that this hop was going to be Fun Folds, I just knew I HAD to participate. You all know by now that I just LOVE fun folds!
Recently for a Facebook Live, on my Facebook Page, I made this drapery fold card using the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper.
Card #1:
For this card, I head embossed the greeting “Happy Birthday” (from the Itty Bitty Birthday Greetings stamp set) with White Embossing Powder. I live how it give it a POP.
The drapery fold DSP was attached to the Basic Gray layer. Next, I tied a bow on my bow maker tool using the white Silver Metalic Edge Ribbon and then wrapped it around the Basic Gray layer at the top of the drapery fold. It is attached on the back side of this layer using glue dots. This layer is then attached to the card base.
Inside the card is kept simple by using a Whisper White layer and stamping in Petal Pink. The sentiment in the middle is also from Itty Bitty Birthday Greetings and the flower from the Prized Peony stamp set.
Card #2:
This card also had a Petal Pink card base, but I used a different piece of DSP – also from the Peony Garden DSP – for the drapery fold part.
It is assembled the same and the same sentiment used, but this time I stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the Basic Gray card stock layer.
The inside of the card is basically the same, I just didn’t stamp the inside sentiment. If you do not have a demonsrtator and are looking to purchase the items used in the making of this card, you can follow the links below. Want more inspiration? Just click the “next” button to be taken to Kimberley’s blog. Should you ever get lost along the way, I have provided a list below of all the blogs on this hop. Enjoy!

Hi Stampers. Welcome back for another Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. We are here to share with you alternative ideas to create with the pieces of the kit. This months kit is titled “World Greatest” and had a trophy and medal theme. I had no use for such cards, so I was happy to use the pieces to create something different!
Alternate #1:
For my first card, I decided to stick with the shaker card idea, but I added the Merry Moose Bundle and some snowflake sequins.
As you can see here, I have the moose popped up on dimensionals. The layering circles dies and a few dimensionals helped create the sentiment.
A few trees behind the moose and the snowflake sequins give a great winter scene look.
I even added an additional moose to the envelope front. : -)
Alternate #2:
For this card, I chose a fun fold flip card layout and used the card base within the kit as Designer Series Paper.
To make this fold I used the Layering Circles Dies and my new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Positioning the top cutting plate to only cover 1/2 the circle, I ran it though the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I them moved the top plate and cut the last 1/4 of the circle, leaving about a 1/2 an inch gap in the middle.
I then used the layering circle dies again and cut a Daffodil Delight and then a Pacific Point circle for the sentiment, which was stamped in Pacific Point.
I hope I have inspired you, but the fun is not over yet. Please click on the link below to follow along on the hop. Should you ever get lost, I have provided the entire lineup below.

Hi Stampers, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team is showcasing “My Happiest Season.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
If you haven’t already guessed, my favorite season is fall. The idea of cooler weather (but not COLD), a pumpkin spice latte and cuddling sounds wonderful. My card base is Mossy Meadow, followed by a layer of Neutrals DSP. Across the bottom is a strip of Old Olive CS followed by a strip of 2020-2022 In-Color DSP. Before adhereing the strip to the card front, I tied a bow (using the super cool bow maker tool my hubby made me) in a piece of braided linen thread and adhered it to the back of the strip using mini glue dots.
The spray of leaves is die cut from Pear Pizazz CS using a die from the Birds & More Dies and attached with mini glue dots. I made the pumpkins out of Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizazz and Very Vanilla CS, using the layering ovals and layering circles dies. Before assembling the pumpkins, I sponged the edges with ink, then I assembled them using mini glue dots. The Pumpkin Pie and Pear Pizazz pumpkins are attached to the card front with glue dots, the Very Vanilla one is attached with a Stampin’ Dimensional. A tiny piece of CS cut using the paper snips make up the stem for each pumpkin.
Inside the card, I used a 1/2″ strip of the Early Espresso DSP followed by a 1/4″ strip of the Cinnamon Cider DSP. This makes the inside of the card coordinate with the outside. The sentiment is from the Country Home stamp set and is stamped in Early Espresso ink. I’m thrilled with how it came out and I hope you are, too.
More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on September 9th when our theme is “It’s the Sentiment that Counts.” The Design Team will showcase a sentiment as the focal point of their project. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.

Hi Stampers. Today I am stamping with the Global Stamping Friends. They asked us to choose our favorite bundle from the Stampin’ Up! catalogs. Currently, my favorite has to be the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle. My favorite stamp within that set is “because adulting is hard”. That seems like the PERFECT phrase for 2020!!
This card starts with a simple Basic Gray card base followed by a layer of the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper adhered with our new Stampin’ Seal. Next, I used the Nested Label Dies to die cut a label for the front of my card in Whisper White CS. The sentiments were stamped onto the label using Magenta Madness & Bumblebee inks. This was then attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The chocolates are done by stamping the detailed part in Early Espresso ink and then stamping the solid center part in Cinnamon Cider ink. We call this “two-step” stamping. For the cocktails, I stamped in Memento Black ink and colored with the Stampin’ blends. (Although, they too have coordinating solid fill stamps – so you could “two-step” if you wish).
Inside the card is an additional cocktail. (I feel like I need multiples these days). A simple strip of the outer DSP helps continue my theme to the inside of the card. I hope this post inspires you to pull our YOUR stamps, ink and paper and give it a try. Should you need – stamps, ink or paper – I would be happy to be YOUR demonstrator! Links to all products used are provided below.
