Paper Pumpkin Possibilities- May 2026 - Sparkling Celebrations

Welcome to this month's Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!   This month's Sparkling Celebrations is so much fun to create with, whether you chose to create it as designed or add your own little touches!  But this hop is all about the alternatives you can create!   So here are mine!   For this card I trimmed my papers and then added a sentiment from the Sunset Coast Stamp Set. Here I simply used the card front on Blackberry Bliss and changed up the sentiment! This card features the coordinating add on die set and the new white gel pen!  Hint I only used 1/2 of the card base and used the other half for the next card! For this card I used the other half of the starry card base to create the background for the Moon & Back Stamp Set.  Be Sure to Hop along with the rest of the team for lots more inspiration!  Blog Hop Index

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - April 2026- Lakeside Retreat

  Greetings my Crafty Friends!    Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop!  I am so excited to be a part of this team of hoppers sharing alternative designs for each month's Paper Pumpkin kit.  This month's kit is all about the April 2026 – Lakeside Retreat. Growing up I love to fish with my dad! So I was super excited to receive and create with this kit!   Which also coordinates with the upcoming and soon to be released Waterside Retreat Suite!   The designs in the kit are fabulous, but as always I wanted to get a little creative and make alternatives. So on to the show! For my first alternative, I created a Z fold card using the striped card base.   The only product I added to this card was the Misty Moonlight ink for the birds. For my second card I cut one card base in half and used the plaid for my card front.   I used a Peaceful Pine card base and split rectangle behind my image.   I did add some Smoky Sla...

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - March 2026 - Fluttering Garden

Welcome my Crafty Friends!   Today the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities team is sharing alternative design using the beautiful March 2026 Fluttering Garden Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I decided to hop right in and create alternatives (instead of creating a few cards as instructed) so here are my alternatives. For this first card I cut up an envelope and colored it with my Water Color Pencils.     I matted the colored image and placed against a punched Heartfelt Hexagon Background.  For the Next alternative I Stamped the greenery image all around my card front (cut 1/2 of a card base) and colored with my Stampin' Blends! I did stamp splatters onto my card as well.  For my final card (for today) I stamped the floral image all around the circle and then colored with my Stampin' Blends. I did turn the sentiment over and stamped the alternative sentiment with splatters.  I hop you are excited to play with this kit.  Be sure to hop along below for lots mor...
