PPP BLOG HOP A KIT IN COLOR



Hi there! It's Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop time, where we show you some different ways to use your monthly Paper Pumpkin kit! This month the Paper Pumpkin kit gave us a sneak peek of the new 20-22 In-Colors to be released very soon in the 2020 Annual Catalog!!! I am in love with these new colors!!!!

Here's this month's alternative:


This month I stayed totally with the kit. I didn't use any outside materials. I wanted to show ways to repurpose the items included. I like to do it that way-so you can see that all you really need IS the actual kit to create far more than they show you! The little 3-legged thing on top of the sentiment is just a cute little stamp to add some richness to your design. Mind unfortunately smudged a bit here with the Wink of Stella-OK so maybe one item that's not in the kit! lol

 kit materials!!!! It simply has more layers. I find the simplicity of the PP cards nice-especially when you need something quick or want something easy to take with you. But I tend to be more of a "layered-card" kinda gal! lol I love texture & layers. Not fancy, just what I consider "more complete".  

All I did here was use one of the card bases, then took 2 other card bases & used them as the mattes for the rainbow piece.  The green behind the cloud is cut from the end of the matte piece. Now don't worry because I cut up a card base! I will use the extra parts in many ways! I used the cloud piece as my sentiment piece! Just a little extra added bling!

Hope it inspires you to create an alternative card to the kit cards. Then feel free to share it with everyone you know! its your talent-flaunt it!!!

If you are not working already with a demonstrator & would like to learn about these new In-Colors, feel free to email me!!! I'd love to share all about them!!!

ICS BLOG HOP-ANIMAL OUTING


For the month of May our Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop is creating Masculine Cards in Black & White!!!! Masculine cards are sometimes the toughest.  There are always lots of flowers and pretty things in our catalogs but what do ya do for a guy?? No ribbons or stuff!!!

Well here's what I came up with!



I love this card!  After I completed it-before the retiring list came out-I realized that just about everything on it is retiring! :( I love this stamp set!  
Animal Outing is the first set I got from the current Annual Catalog! With it's adorable coordinating Animal Friends Dies.  So I'm a bit attached! Animals I think are good for guys? Yes?

And the Crackle background stamp?? How could they do this to me? lol I use this background so much! It will remain forever in my stash!!!

The sentiments are from Label Me Bold. My go-to for dudes! I think here they make the perfect embellishment for this card. No baubles or bling! While I have many dude friends that prefer baubles & bling, generically I think guys not so much. I simply cut out the sentiments & added with Stampin' Dimensionals. I think it adds the perfect amount of detail & texture.  

Oh, I must add! While I'm terribly distraught to lose these stamp sets to the Next Chance List, I'm super excited about the offerings in the new 
Annual Catalog!!! I can't wait!!!!! I'm sure those will ease my pain! lol


So it's a quick easy card! I believe that works well for the guys! Now hop over to Terri's blog & see what her black/white guys' card looks like! Just click on her name or the icon below.  I know you won't be sorry! Then keep going! Feel free to leave a comment!!!

Oh, and if you're interested in these retiring goodies better get them before they're gone!!! Click HERE!!! Be sure to use Hostess Code PNHBRGCM.

Happy Stampin'!
