Hello my fellow crafty friends! Today I am excited to be hopping along with the ICS team and this month we are sharing Fall themed Fun Fold Cards!

For my fun fold I chose a double Z fold card!

First up my Autumn Opulence card with the Elegant Leaves Bundle! Who doesn't love fall leaves! and the colors are so yummy- Golden Glow, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and a splash of Blackberry Bliss!

For my second example, I chose the September POTM - Luxe Foliage and paired it with the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. and added a splash of the Neutral Jute! The stamp is from the Fun for Fall Stamp Set. I added a Three Banner banner punched from Gold Foil Paper.

Hop along with the rest of the team for more inspiration.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - September 2026 - Aspens of Gratitude

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Hello my crafting friends! Today is the day we share alternatives you can create with your Monthly Paper Pumpkin Subscription!

This month features the Aspens of Gratitude kit! As you will see, I thought this kit was perfect for adding touches of foiling!

So on to the show.

These two cards were pretty much created as designed in the kit, I just added a foil deer from the Graceful Evergreen Deer Bundle.

This card features the same Graceful Evergreen Deer and the Poetic Petals Stamp set.

This card features the Buffalo Check Foil Die.

And for my last card, I used a foiled deer and made a simple easel card.

Don't you agree the foiling (whether in gold or copper) is a beautiful addition to this kit>!>!

Hop along with the team!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities- August 2026- Kindred Greetings Blog Hop

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Welcome my crafty friends to this month's Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop featuring the August 2026- Kindred Greetings kit.

This kit is so beautiful to create "as Designed" but of course that's not why we are here! We want to showcase what else you can create with your kits!

I decided to add some Pops of Color to several of my cards.

For the first card I used the punch out waste as the background over my stamped dots. I added POPS of Golden Glow with a Banner Punch and flowers from the Coordinating Paper Pumpkin dies and a touch of rhinestones.

For this next card I flipped over the leafy overlay and used it as a mask with Balmy Blue and a Blending Brush. I Matted the masked area on Balmy Blue two-tone cardstock and punch a matte circle for my sentiment. I added some white baker's Twine and Shimmering Dots. I also snuck in a foiled butterfly from the Butterfly Flight Foiling and Mask bundle.

For this next card I added Soft Sea Foam as my color- adding stamped dots and greenery.

For my last card I chose to add Pop of Pretty Peacock by matting my overlay and then including another foiled butterfly!.

Which is your favorite?

PAPER PUMPKIN POSSIBILITIES - JUNE 2026- BIKES & BLOOMS

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Welcome to this month's Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! Together we are bringing you inspiration on using your Paper Pumpkin Kits In new creative ways!

I just loved the colors in the June Kit! and the flowers and BUTERFLIES!!! and Bikes! SO fun and summery I couldn't wait to get creative! With just a few extra supplies I created 4 cards from 2!

First up is this side easel card. The bike portion folds down and the card lays flat! I added some die cut flowers from the coordinating die set and some Calypso Coral cardstock, as well as some gems. The card is covered with the cut apart envelope!

the next alternative uses the kit stamp set and left over pieces from the original card. I love that there were a few extra flower "bushes" that I could play with. I also added a few rhinestones to my die cut flowers.

For my third alternative I used a Flirty Flamingo Card Base and made a landscape easel card. I did use a little piece of the cut up envelope inside to gie me a place to write my message :D I did add a little greeting from the Banner Sayings stamp set.

For my Fourth Alternative I stamped the butterflies over the card front (made from 1/2 of the kit card base) and then stamped off the flower images onto a envelope front and added die cut flowers and rhinestones and of course a little butterfly from the kit! The sentiment is from the All Aflutter Stamp Set!

Do you have a favorite?

ICS- June 2026 - Fabulous Folders

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Today I am excited to play along with the ICS team and share our love of Embossing Folders! Who doesn't love embossing folders.

Today I have a fub technique to share using the embossing folders! THE BLACKOUT technique. As you can see the results are stunning!

Start by embossing your cardstock using your favorite embossing folder! On the debossing side color your images with Blends. You can see you don't have to be overly neat.

Choose your "Blackout Color" on swipe your ink pad over your embossed image. The ink mainly highlights the un-embossed areas of the image creating the "blackout" effect.

You can even use this technique without coloring.. Below you can see one image colored and the other I just left the cardstock plain.

Have you tried this technique? Do you Love it?

Welcome to this month's Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!

This month's Sparkling Celebrations is so much fun to create with, whether you chose to create it as designed or add your own little touches! But this hop is all about the alternatives you can create! So here are mine!

For this card I trimmed my papers and then added a sentiment from the Sunset Coast Stamp Set.

Here I simply used the card front on Blackberry Bliss and changed up the sentiment!

This card features the coordinating add on die set and the new white gel pen! Hint I only used 1/2 of the card base and used the other half for the next card!

For this card I used the other half of the starry card base to create the background for the Moon & Back Stamp Set.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - April 2026- Lakeside Retreat

noreply@blogger.com (Chris) — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Greetings my Crafty Friends! Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop! I am so excited to be a part of this team of hoppers sharing alternative designs for each month's Paper Pumpkin kit. This month's kit is all about the April 2026 – Lakeside Retreat.

Growing up I love to fish with my dad! So I was super excited to receive and create with this kit! Which also coordinates with the upcoming and soon to be released Waterside Retreat Suite!

The designs in the kit are fabulous, but as always I wanted to get a little creative and make alternatives. So on to the show!

For my first alternative, I created a Z fold card using the striped card base. The only product I added to this card was the Misty Moonlight ink for the birds.

For my second card I cut one card base in half and used the plaid for my card front. I used a Peaceful Pine card base and split rectangle behind my image. I did add some Smoky Slate ink for my birds.

For my third and forth alternative I cut the remaining half of my card base (from card #2) in half again and used each half as a focal point for a landscape card. I did add Smoky Slate ink and stamps from the Scenic Coast stamp set (coming May 5^th for the sailboat) and some Linen Thread. I also used a cut up envelope for an additional piece of “designer” paper.

Which is your favorite? Thinking I may need a refill! Don’t forget to hop along with the rest of the team!
