Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop - August 2022

Welcome to the July 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 August Paper Pumpkin kit, Sweet Sunflowers is possibly one of SU's best kit ever! It has supplies to make 9 cards if you make them as the instructions outline. However, the card bases in this kit have designs on both the front and back which means you could cut them and double the amount of cards. Not to mention amazingly beautiful envelopes that can be cut up if you like to do that sort of thing. 

This kit includes:  See Flyer 

• All the supplies you need to create 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs; and coordinating envelopes.
• An all-occasion stamp set to express words of gratitude, friendship, greetings and beautiful wildflower designed images.
• Specialty Vellum honeycomb shape pre-cut pieces.
• (2) Classic Stampin’ Spots (Crushed Curry and Soft Suede) for a Two-Step stamping experience with a twist!
• Paper pieces and embellishments with watercolor designs and images.
• Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• FREE GIFT: 8 Gold Foil Honeycomb Sheets - this is a great addition for when you want to make extra cards from the kit. 

For my Alternative card I decided to cut apart one of the envelopes and use it for the top layer. I also cut one of the evergreen card bases and used one as the bottom layer.

Isn't this just stunning, and so easy to assemble. There's always a few extra elements in the kit, so I used one of the extra sentiment die cuts and the bees. The honeycomb layer is not extra but I was experimenting with using it as a stencil to blend with crushed curry as a background so it is colored.

Today features projects with a back to school theme. I had lots of ideas floating in my head. I have a great niece that is starting Kindergarten and with her in mind, I created my card 

 

I think she is going to enjoy receiving this card. Whenever I see her she is dressed in princes type clothes, so the hippo really spoke to me. I created a couple pencils using strips of paper and Stampin' blends to color the details in. I knew I wanted to use the Alphabest stamp so I created the background with the ABC stamps

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop August 2022 - Tic Tac Toe Board

The Scrapbooking Global Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in a scrapbooking Blog Hop Theme, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today's theme is brought to you by Sherry Roth  who created a Tic Tac Toe board for us to choose 3 items as inspiration for our layout! What a fun idea.  

I decided to choose the 3 items in the left diagonal row to make my tic tac toe: Use A Sketch, 3 or more photos, and Use an Uninked Stamp from my collection.  

We were recently in Montana visiting our daughter and grandsons. I had some good photos from that visit I decided to use 3 of them in this layout. 

The below sketch was taken from Paper Issues, a page I follow on Facebook and was designed by Gina Cunningham. When I saw the spots for 3 photos, I thought it would work well with my photos. 

Here is how my layout turned out! The elements from the "Today is the Day" Memories & More pack fit so well with the layout. I recently bought the Rays of Light background stamp which I had not inked up yet so it worked well to add it to the elements of this layout.  

Card Details

• Stamp
• Rays of Light  
• Paper
• Garden Green 12 x 12 base 
• Calypso Coral 8 1/2 x 11 layer
• Cards/Elements from Today Is The Day  Memories & More Card Pack

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Be sure to head on over to Cheryl Diana's blog to see what she created. Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration for your projects.
