Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop - May 2022

Welcome to the May kit 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



The May kit is Celebrating the new 2022 In colors that will be around until 2024. In addition, a few randomly selected subscribers received a $25us voucher. I'm sad t report I did not receive the voucher, but I still love the kit. 


This kit includes: 
  • Celebrating In Color Photopolymer Stamp Set
  • Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Spot® 
  • (10) Printed card bases and In Color envelopes (card size 4 ¼” x 5 ½” 
  • (10) Printed In Color gift card holders - That means you can send your friends, family, or coworkers congratulatory words alongside a well-earned gift card to really show your appreciation for them. 
  • Foiled die cuts and Printed die cuts 
  • Adhesive-backed In Color embellishments 
  • Tear & Tape Adhesive and dimensionals 
  • Coordinating Stampin’ Up! In Colors: Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party, Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide
One of the first things I do when I get a kit is separate all the elements and punch out the die cut/card pieces.  I noticed right away there are a few circle punch outs that are 'extras', not used in the kit designs. I decided to use these for my alternate cards. I also started seeing quite a few other creators using these circles in their design and took some ideas from them. This card is more monochromatic in color choice than others I saw. 


The above card I used Crumb Cake for the 'dots' stamp along with Pacific Point. I have the In Color Marvelous markers but they did not color very well on the photopolymer stamps. They do color well on the rubber stamps. 

For the below card I decided to try gold embossing for the 'dots' and the sentiment. This ties in with the gold foil in the kit circle. I also change the choice of designer series pattern in the DSP circle. 


Let me know in the comments which you like better, the Crumb Cake or Gold Embossing.

  1. Love your alternates. I prefer the gold and wish I had thought of using embossing to get the gold in the background!
