PAPER PUMPKIN POSSIBILITIES BLOG HOP-LOVELY LAVENDER

 Welcome to our monthly Paper Pumpkin blog hop where we share all kinds of alternatives to the amazing kits! One of the things we love the most about   Stampin' Up! is the flexibility, and here we love to share ideas for you to explore that too!

Here are the cards as designed in the kit:

Here are my cards:

A little cleaner & simpler version-stamped sentiment, more white space.

This one actually uses one of the tags as part of an actual card!

I tried hard to stick with my general rule of using only what's included in the kit. I know this kit has the most amazing suite of products that coordinate in the       Spring Mini Catalog, but these kits are designed for on-the-go fun with minimal supplies! So I try to give you ideas that use the kit materials only. So basically it's the same materials just a different design. 

 I did 2 this time because there are so many easy options with this beautiful kit! And I do mean beautiful!!! The Lovely Lavender suite is just beautiful, so if you are able, I highly recommend you add it to your collection! But if not, this               Paper Pumpkin kit stands wonderfully on its own!!!  So pretty!!!

Please check out the other blogs on our hop for even more ideas! They are listed below! I know many used the materials in the suite so if you have that, you'll get some extra great ideas!!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!!

PAPER PUMPKIN POSSIBILITIES BLOG HOP-PEACEFUL CHRISTMAS

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! Here we sample some amazing alternatives to your Paper Pumpkin kit!

I will say, however, this month it was a challenge!  Why?  Well because this kit is so pretty on it's own, it's really hard to top! lol I almost didn't want to change anything! But once I got going I couldn't stop! lol

So here's the featured card:

So I normally like to keep to what's in the kit for the alternatives-so you can see how to use just the supplies to change it up! 

But this month's kit coordinates with the Peaceful Place Suite Collection in the Fall Mini Catalog! I must say that this has surprisingly become my favorite suite in the catalog! I never thought of black/gray/white for Christmas cards! 

But Stampin' Up! has made this really feel like winter to me! I love it-even though I hate winter! lol So I had to go to the other products to create!

In this monochromatic card I used the dies to create this beautiful cabin! There is also a hint of the Gold Shimmer Vellum for the windows!  It looks like such a peaceful cabin on a snowy winter night!

Here are a couple of the others I did. Some of them use materials from the suite, but others are exclusively from the kit!

Just one of the stamps from the free stamp set that came with the kit! Oh, and a bit of pretty Real Red Sheer Ribbon!

Boy did I have fun with the negative vellum piece!!! Used them on multiple cards!

Below are the kit originals for comparison! Beautiful as is, right???

I hope you enjoyed this month's alternatives. Next up is Debbi! Be sure to check out what she has for you! Simply click her name or the icon below!!!

PAPER PUMPKIN POSSIBILITIES BOUQUET OF HOPE

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!!! This month our Bouquet of Hope kit has some beautiful sentiments of comfort! As you hop around here you will find some great alternatives to do with your kit! While the originals are great, it's always good to "take a chance"!

Here's my card:

When I work an alternative for my Paper Pumpkin kits I like to try to stick as much as possible to the elements within the kit! I think it showcases the versatility of the products! Plus, some of you PP subscribers don't have a ton of other materials to play with!

The only "extras" on my card are some Cherry Cobbler cardstock & a different sentiment from Itty Bitty Wishes stamp set. See this bouquet screamed out to me wedding/anniversary/etc.! So I took the bouquet, fussy cut some of the other flowers in the kit, and put it together! Oh, I forgot-there is some Wink of Stella on the flowers. I don't think I make anything without the "wink"! I love the gold in this kit!!!!

So now hop on over to Darla's blog & see her alternative! Simply click on her name or on the icon below! Then keep going! Be sure to leave a friendly comment!

Happy Stampin'!
