Welcome to this month's Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! Together we are bringing you inspiration on using your Paper Pumpkin Kits In new creative ways!    I just loved the colors in the June Kit!   and the flowers and BUTERFLIES!!! and Bikes! SO fun and summery I couldn't wait to get creative!  With just a few extra supplies I created 4 cards from 2! First up is this side easel card.  The bike portion folds down and the card lays flat! I added some die cut flowers from the coordinating die set and some Calypso Coral cardstock, as well as some gems. The card is covered with the cut apart envelope!  the next alternative uses the kit stamp set and left over pieces from the original card. I love that there were a few extra flower "bushes" that I could play with. I also added a few rhinestones to my die cut flowers.  For my third alternative I used a Flirty Flamingo Card Base and made a landscape easel card. I did use a little piece of the...

Today I am excited to play along with the ICS team and share our love of Embossing Folders!  Who doesn't love embossing folders.    Today I have a fub technique to share using the embossing folders!  THE BLACKOUT technique.  As you can see the results are stunning!  Start by embossing your cardstock using your favorite embossing folder!  On the debossing side color your images with Blends. You can see you don't have to be overly neat.  Choose your "Blackout Color" on swipe your ink pad over your embossed image.  The ink mainly highlights the un-embossed areas of the image creating the "blackout" effect.  You can even use this technique without coloring..  Below you can see one image colored and the other I just left the cardstock plain.  Have you tried this technique?   Do you Love it?  Hop along with us for more Inspiration!  Blog Hop Index

 Today I am sharing inspiration for the Wild Bunch Product of the Month.  Hope you are inspired

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
