Welcome to the August Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop. A Group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators join to create collaboratively using the current Paper Pumpkin Kit. Specifically, we design alternative cards, scrapbook pages, or other paper projects using the contents of the kit and a few coordinating additions from our own stash.
Normally it is too late to get the August Paper Pumpkin, but due to a glitch in Stampin' Up's! system, customers were unable to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin’s Shelli Hope Box between 31 July–5 August. Stampin' Up! would like to make it up to customers! From 24 August–31 August, they are offering the Shelli Hope Box to all North American customers, regardless of subscription. Woo Hoo ! Perfect opportunity to give this beautiful box a try. Click the link to order the

I've seen lot's of examples use black cardstock for the base card. It absolutely pop's the colors of the die cut. I CASE'd the card from Rachel Tessman with a few minor changes. I used the Die Cuts from the Color & Contour bundle ( a new favorite!) and I incorporated some of the gorgeous ribbon from the kit. Here is a photo of the front of my card.
Here is a photo pf the inside. I took what was left of the die cut and then die cut Basic white card stock in the next size down die cut from the Color & Contour bundle. I fit it into the leftover piece from the front. I added sentiment from In Your Words stamp set, a free Sale-A-Bration Hostess only set. I just love how the card turned out.
I decided to make another card from this beautiful kit using the cutouts of the butterflies die cuts. I flipped it over, using only the white side and selected the pink card from the kit. I used the strips of patterned paper behind the butterflies and inserted the die cut butterflies onto the card. The sentiment was die cut from the Tasteful Label dies, a must have die cut set! This card makes me smile. I do believe in miracles and know there that God is watching over us.
Don’t forget to check out all the fun projects my friends made as part of this blog hop! The Crafty Collaborations group puts on several blog hops a month, as well as monthly tutorial bundles, and other ‘work smarter not harder’ projects.
