Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop - October 2023

Welcome to the October 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 October Home for the Holidays kit has everything you need to make some sparkly, festive cards. 

It includes:

• 8 beautiful 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" cards—four each of two designs with envelopes  
• Beautiful Christmas-themed precut pieces
• Bottle of Glitter Glue. 
• Coordinating box design can help create a cute village Christmas scene!
• Coordinating Stampin’ Up! colors: Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Real Red (ink spot color)
(FYI...this kit coordinates with the November Paper Pumpkin Kit. So you'll want to stay subscribed.)

For an alternative, I like to use the stamp in an effort to show subscribers a way to extend the life of the kit using the stamp set with your own basic supplies and possibly a few leftover elements from the kit. I thought this stamp set could work well using the triple time stamp technique, only I modified the technique by adding a 4th layer for the main house stamp image. Additionally, I used several images as opposed to just one main large image typically seen with this technique. Check out a video from Demonstrator Dawn Olchefske on the traditional method for this technique,   

I used all of the Deckled Rectangle Dies to create this card: 

• Real Red Card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 along with 3 additional layers
• Basic White - 4 layers along with the smallest die used for the sentiment. 

I stamped the images to create more of a scene look to this card. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added the glitter glue from the kit to the middle of the large snowflake images, the house and a few of the trees. It does bleed a bit but adds a nice touch. I left overnight to dry.
