Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop - March 2023

Welcome to the September 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 March 2023 Ten Years of Growth kit marks the 10 year anniversary for Paper Pumpkin.


The kit contains:
  • All the supplies you need to create 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs; and 9 coordinating envelopes.
  • An all-occasion stamp set to recognize the people in your life who help you grow with sentiments and beautiful botanical images.
  • Paper pieces, including Gold sentiments and embellishments with digitally-painted designs and images.
  • One Polished Pink Stampin’ Spot.
    • Other Coordinating Stampin’ Up! colors: Shaded Spruce, Garden Green, Coastal Cabana, Orchid Oasis, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Crumb Cake
  •  One FREE stamp set which included a plant and pot builder to make plant-astic projects!
For my alternative project I used the large floral stamp in the free stamp set. I also stamped the flowerpot onto a trimmed piece of the envelope flap paper and cut it out with my paper snips. Additional details listed in the Card Details below.


I stamped " HAPPY Mothers Day" inside the card and also added a scrap from the envelope I trimmed.

Ink & Share Scrapbook Hop - March 2023 "Joys of Spring"

Hello crafters!

It's the monthly scrapbook project with the Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop group. We are a a global group of creators comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. The common goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

This month's theme is to create a scrapbook page "full of the joys of Spring". I also am participating in a monthly challenge that has Punch Art as a challenge, so I decided to add it to this layout. 

I struggle with creating punch art, so I went to Pinterest and found a flower someone made using circle punches. I don't have a current circle punch, so I decided to use the Decorative Circle punch which worked just as well! Close up of the flower is below. Here is a link to the person's blog with details on how to make it. http://gcdstudios.blogspot.com/2010/07/use-punch-to-punch-out-circles.html?m=0 

I turned to more punches to add more spring details to my layout. 
  • Label me lovely: punched 3 different designs from the Design A Daydream designer series paper
  • Daisy Punch: punch several using different designs from the same paper.
  • Best Label punch: used for the numbers

The layout is very busy but screams of Spring!! I have not used the Decorative Border stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini catalog. I bought it for wedding related projects, but it worked well adding spring images to this layout. 
 Layout Details
  • Stamps
    • Decorative Borders 
    • Alphabest Bundle 
    • Biggest Wish 
  • Paper
    • Basic White 12 x 12 base + scraps for punched numbers 
    • Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper: (Host only product) 4 different designs punched with various punches. 
  • Ink
    • Mint Macaron
    • Blackberry Bliss
    • Daffodil Delight 
    • Petal Pink
  • Other 
    • Decorative Circle Punch
    • Daisy Punch
    • Label Me Lovely punch
    • Flowers adhesive backed trinkets 
    • Adhesives: Seal, Multipurpose glue, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals
