PPP BLOG HOP-ALL THE LITTLE THINGS

 Happy Spring! And welcome to another edition of our                                       Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!!! This month's kit really shows "all the little things" that go with pretty spring crafting! Hope you enjoy our alternatives!!!

So here are the cards as designed in the kit:

Very pretty, right? They were tough to change up! But I did 3! Now if you follow this blog you know that when I do the alternatives I try to keep with the items in the kits. That way you can change things up without worrying about having all the extra supplies! Well, I did that with 2 of the cards this time. The third does use another stamp set! 

So the final one here used the Balmy Blue & White Ribbon Variegated Ribbon and the Sending Smiles bundle! I kind of got the idea from the alternatives shown on the directions sheet! Even Stampin' Up! gives you some ideas!

Please note: The leaves & flowers with all the blues & purples are actually shiny silver! lol No matter what I tried I couldn't get the color to tone down on the cards! So while these look very colorful-and they are in their own way-picture if you will the blues & purples as like a mirror/silver!!! lol

So I hope you enjoyed! Please hop over to

PPP BLOG HOP-SUNSHINE AND SMILES

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! This month's kit is so adorable!!!! Creating an alternative was a challenge because the actual kit is so cute! But here we are!!! Hope you hop along & enjoy all our alternatives!!!!

Here's my card:

Here's the way the actual kit works:

I saw that bunny & it just screamed Easter to me! Here in New England we are in the throws of a renewed winter weather pattern-MUCH to my dismay! Anything spring speaks to me right now! lol  And with Easter right around the corner, this is just a thing!

All I did here was turn the card inside out and back it with some                       Basic White card stock! I decorated the inside too! The rainbow was just too pretty & springy to leave on the inside!

I broke my rule about only using kit materials on this one-but just a little bit! I did add some ribbon (Metallic Woven Ribbon in Sweet Sorbet) and black & Balmy Blue inks. The stamp set Celebrating You used for the sentiment also is not part of the kit! But the majority of the card is kit-only materials!!!

I love this little Easter card and I hope you do to! Next up with some sunshine & smiles is Elizabeth! Click on her name here or the icon below to see her creation! Pray for spring! lol

Happy Stampin'!

 

PAPER PUMPKIN POSSIBILITIES BLOG HOP-HO HO HO!

Ho Ho Ho! This month's Paper Pumpkin is Christmas fun!!! We give you some fun alternative ideas here!!!

Here are my alternatives:

I try really hard to keep to the supplies in the kit. That way you can create on the run with only the supplies handy. No need to have a ton of extra stuff! Altho that is fun too! But here I use pretty much only the items in the kit!

I really just kind of change things around. Come up with a different design. That's the beauty of these kits!

I was able to create 3 (of the 9) cards using kit materials! I did use another color ink but still!

This is what the standard kit looks like!

And this is all I had left!!!

Happy Stamping'!!

PAPER PUMPKIN POSSIBILITIES BLOG HOP-CELEBRATING IN COLOR

 

This month's Paper Pumpkin highlights our amazing new                             2022-2024 In-Colors!!!! Here on our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop we are featuring some amazing alternative designs to the already amazing kit ideas! And I will admit, I had a tough time with an alternative for these!!! They are perfect just as they are!!!! 

But I did come up with one! Here it is:

As always, I prefer to use only what's in the kit for the alternatives to give you a "create on the go" creation or a design for when you don't have tons of materials! I did break the "rule" this time however!  I used only a piece of the gorgeous      2022-2024 In-Color Glimmer Paper!!! Oh ya, and a bit of the                       1/4" in-Color Ribbon and some In-Color Matte Dots!  lol  I couldn't stop!!!  And this was true creating on the go-I was on a mini vacation! So supplies were limited! But I'm happy with it! Hope you enjoy!!!

Here are the original designs in the kit:

And inside the card they provided this cute little pocket for a gift card or treat or monetary gift!!! You can add or not!

I really love this set! Now hop over to Darla's blog & see what she did with this kit!!! Simply click on her name here or on the icon below! I know you'll love what she did!!! Oh, we love comments!!!

Happy stampin'!

PAPER PUMPKIN POSSIBILITIES BLOG HOP-CHANGE IS BEAUTIFUL

Welcome to this month's Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! Change truly can be beautiful!!! And so is this kit!

Here's my card:

And here are the originals as designed:

This is a very pretty kit with a great fun fold! The cards are also super simple yet pack a cool punch! Each has a plain spot on the back for your special messages.

I always try to keep my alternatives to mostly the items in the kit to give ideas on what you can do without having all the bells & whistles! This time the only "outside the kit" items I used are the 2 different colors (Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green) of cardstock! Everything else is from the kit! So with minimal materials you can create even this alternative!!!

I even had fun with the inside on this one:

PAPER PUMPKIN POSSIBILITIES BLOG HOP-GIFTS GALORE

This month's Paper Pumpkin kit-Gifts Galore-is so much fun! Took some thinking to get an alternative going, but once I did get going I couldn't stop! lol Seems to be the way!

Here's the featured project:

Here is what the original designs in the kit look like:

This is such a cute kit. I will admit I'm not always good with the crafty kits. I do prefer the cards-only because I don't really have much use for them. But they really are so well done! This one I can see giving some cute Christmas gifts! But the alternatives are cards! This kit makes GREAT cards!!!!

I try to keep the materials to those included in the kit, but had to break "out of the box" a bit this time!  Mostly cardstock for the card bases. But I did try to keep it mostly to the kit.  It just shows the versatility!

The 2 following are a couple of fun folds! The nice big images are perfect for that!!! A bit of fancy cutting & you're good to go!! Not much else needed!

Now hop over to Terri's blog & see what she came up with!!! Simply click her name here or the icon below! Then keep going! Can't wait to get these all sent!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!
