Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop Watercolor in Bloom


Welcome to our monthly Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop to share alternative design ideas for your kit - there are so many possibilities for getting creative and thinking outside of the box.  We share our blog hop on the last Wednesday of each month and missed seeing you due to holidays in December.

The December 2025 kit is Watercolor in Bloom which was designed with stamps to mix and match to make a lot of great sentiments!  There are 9 projects: 3 each of 3 card designs with 9 coordinating envelopes.


This kit has the blue to green spectrum of colors, which are my favorites, so it is a winner in my eyes!


I cut this card base down to make a card front layer.  There is a layer of Shaded Spruce cardstock behind the striped layer.

Then I enjoyed using the Abundant Joy add-on Dies to add lots of texture to my design. These dies have sold out, sorry that they are no longer available. There are peek-a-boo cut-outs and I adhered the shapes to decorate around the sentiment tag.


I stamped the interior and adhered die cuts inside too.  I tied Linen Thread onto the tag.


This was so much fun to create with just a printed layer, stamps, ink, and a few dies!  Let's go see what my friends have made, we love when you leave us comments and say hello.
