Kindred Greetings August 2026 PPP Blog Hop

 

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop where our creative designers share our alternative design ideas each month for the current Paper Pumpkin kit. 


The card designs are stunning and soothing, I love this kit!

I decided to use the stamps in the kit with a few products that I feel compliment these sentiments.  Peaceful Pine is a soothing color and looks amazing as greenery stamped or embossed!  So here are my Very Vanilla and Peaceful Pine cards.


The embossing folder is exquisite for the featured layer on my card.   


My supplies are listed at the end of my post.


I stamped a patterned background with the greenery stamp image.  There is a layer of the Violet Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper with loops of ribbon.


Such a lovely sentiment!  You only get these stamps as a Paper Pumpkin subscriber.


I hope you will use the stamp set to make all sorts of wonderful cards when you are done creating with your kit components.

Special Delivery January 2026 PPP Blog Hop


Welcome to our monthly blog hop to explore all sorts of possibilities for alternative designs for our Paper Pumpkin January 2026 Special Delivery kit.

The Special Delivery kit features 9 cards, 3 designs/3 of each design with coordinating printed envelopes.


I used every stamp image in the stamp set to make my card and the negative from the sheet of "stamps" included in the kit. 


My card base is a11" x 4-1/4" of Bubble Bath card stock, scored at 5-1/2" and folded.


I placed the negative down as a template and placed each stamp into the openings.   Then I placed my giant size clear block down to collect the stamps.  Set aside the template, ink the stamps with Gray Granite Stampin' Pad and stamp the card front.  I used liquid glue to adhere the template into place.  

I did have one empty place, so I inked only the word "LOVE" from the "sending love" stamp to fill in the last square. 


The interior has the last sentiment.  I added ribbon and gems to finish my design.  You can see my supply list at the end of my post.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Hello Spring


 Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop as we share alternative designs using the February kit Hello Spring.

See the Hello Spring kit below as it was designed to be used: 
Plant the seeds of happiness with these lovely garden-inspired cards.
• Makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs
• Precut pieces with bronze foil
• Unique spring-themed envelopes
• Coordinating colors: Basic Beige, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist, Lost Lagoon, Old
Olive, Petunia Pop (Classic Stampin’ Spot)


I loved the stamps and the color combo of Old Olive with Petunia Pop so I was happy to start stamping. Oh! and the "Spring Is in the Air Dies Add-On" (#166237 ordering is exclusive to subscribers) was super fun to coordinate with the chive blossoms and stems.


I pulled out my Petunia Pop card stock and discovered this layer was already embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.  So it is the 4" x 4" layer behind my stamped layer. I covered the right hand flap with the 1- 1/4" x 4-1/4" layer of Petunia Pop cardstock.


I stamped the texture image along the interior top to create a coordinated touch.


Here you can see the top-down view of the card.  The card base is 11" x 4- 1/4" and it is scored at 4- 1/4" from one end and then 1- 1/4" from the opposite end. 


It was so fun to use this bright and cheery Petunia Pop color today while I enjoyed the brilliantly blue sky and warm sunshine.  It's a needed "hello spring" message after the snow 10 days ago!
