PAPER PUMPKIN POP UP BLOG HOP-GROWN WITH KINDNESS



Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Pop Up Blog Hop! We will be showcasing some amazing alternatives to the already amazing monthly Paper Pumpkin kits!!!

These kits on their own are absolute amazeballs!!! But here you will find some cool ideas on how to "change it up"! Some will be just with the kit materials, & some will have some added coordinating materials! The beauty of 
Stampin' Up!-everything coordinates!!!

So here's my alternative creation this month:


Now I must say that hands down this is my favorite Paper Pumpkin kits of late!!! The kits have become so full of fun! Every month they get better & better! I love the touch of "reality" with this month's kit!  Succulents are so big right now-although I can't keep one alive for the life of me! lol  But I certainly can keep this one alive!!!

Here's what the one in the kit should look like:


When I alter these kits I like to keep close to the materials that are included. I feel that if you want to "slightly" alter it you should be able to do with the materials that were intended for it. This one I added some Lemon Lime Twist cardstock for the matte & I used my Stampin' Blends to color the cup image. Yes, that image is included in the stamp set!!! I really like it! This will be a good go-to for many different cards-with or without the kit!

I did a couple of other alternatives, but this kit is so pretty I didn't want to mess with it too much! But I know these amazing stampers on this hop will blow this out of the water with beautiful creativeness!!!

Now hop on over to June's blog & see what she came up with! Just click on either her name or the icon below! Please continue to hop & see what else is there! It's bound to be a succulent garden of goodness!!!

ICS-WELL SAID



Hello hoppers! Welcome to the "Love"ly Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop!! This month is traditionally the month of love!! So that's what you'll get here-all about the love!!!  Some will be Valentine's Day, maybe some for wedding, anniversary or just simply "I love you" cards! Of course we will be featuring some new products from our Occasions & Sale-A-Bration Catalogs!!!

Here's mine:


So my card will be a Valentine for my hubby! We're kinda "non-trad"-no big hearts & such! He's a real outdoors, woodsy kinda guy, so I struggle sometimes with cards for him. This one has a few more flourishes than he normally would like, lol, but I think he'll really like the details in this one!!!

There is very little stamping here!!! The beautiful Buffalo Check stamp set created the background! We have some great little 6x6 DSP in the 
SAB Catalog, but the colors were not quite right for this card.  So perfect for spring tho! I've always been a fan of the checks, even before that stamp came out! So when it did, OOOOOH baby!!! lol

The pretty little flowers & the "love" are cut from the Well Written Framelits. What a set that is!!! Oh my! So many beautiful words & shapes!!! It coordinates so nicely with the Well Said stamp set! It is the "you" here!

The love & hearts & flowers are cut from the ah-mazing Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet from the SAB Catalog! They come with Grapefruit Grove sheets too! So pretty!!!

Other items used are Old Olive Linen Thread, Whisper White 5/8" Flax Ribbon, Dog Builder Punch (the little hearts)!

Hope you like & feel loved now! lol   Head over to Terri's blog & see how pretty her creation is!!! You can get there by clicking her name or the icon below! 
Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Stampin'!!!
