A Paper Pumpking Thing Blog Hop - Change is Beautiful

Welcome to our APRIL 2022 #APaperPumpkinThing Blog Hop. Each month we share alternate projects using Stampin' Up!'s Paper Pumpkin Kit! We usually hop on the last Thursday of the month.

  My alternate project for the April kit is a Double Z Fold Card. I tried to stay pretty close to just the kit supplies, but I did add a little bit of Basic White Thick Cardstock, Granny Apple Green Cardstock, and I used some Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Below you'll see a picture of the kits projects, if they were put together according to the kit instructions:

{you'll find product purchase links beneath the Blog Roll, near the bottom of the post}

Our Paper Pumpkin kit for April was called Change is Beautiful. It came with supplies to create 9 cards that fit in a standard size envelope, 3 each of 3 different patterns. Two of the patterns were Z Fold Cards, and one was a regular foldover card. I took one of the Z Fold Cards and added another small Z layer with Granny Apple Green Cardstock.

I was able to do a walkthrough of this kit on my Facebook Business Page last night. If you click on the image below, it should take you right to that video. I do quite a thorough job with my walkthroughs, so you can just grab your kit and work right along with me if you'd like!

Third Thursday Blog Hop - Mix & Match

Welcome once again to our Third Thursdays Blog Hop! This month our theme for the hop is Mix & Match! This theme will allow us to feature RETIRING items from the Last Chance Sale, or upcoming NEW items from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog (debuting May 3rd), items that will be carrying over into that new catalog...or a mishmash of any of those items! I chose to feature some new things, along with a carryover item - the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.
{you'll find Product Purchase Links for current items I've used, below the Blog Roll}

I'm really featuring the Uniquely Artistic Stamp Set that will be in the upcoming catalog, along with all of the upcoming 2022-2024 In Colors, as well as a new die set called Stylish Shapes. But, I wanted to make sure I was still using supplies you can buy right now, as well. The new stamp set is totally just floral and foliage, there are no greetings in it, which makes the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set the perfect companion for a card set!

To make a card set like this, you stamp on a sheet of 8-1/2"x11" Basic White Cardstock. If I remember my maths correctly, the placement of the images would be over the X axis and the Y axis you might imagine over the sheet.

Then you cut the sheet into quarters. If you are putting them on a card base, and want some of that card base to show, you will want to trim a little bit off each quarter. If you are clever, you can do that first by taking 1/4" off each edge of your whole sheet before you cut your quarters. I was not clever, so I tried to ensure that I took the extra bits off my quarters on the two sides that would have been the outside edges if I had, indeed, remembered!

The 2022-2022 In Colors are: Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Night, and Orchid Oasis. I used all 5 of those In Color ink pads to stamp the florals and foliage, and then used Orchid Oasis for my card bases and greetings. I like all 3 of the new blues in the upcoming In Colors, but for today my favorite is Orchid Oasis.

Stampin' Supplies (Items in RED will be available to customers May 3rd): Peaceful Moments Stamp Set, Uniquely Artistic Stamp Set, Basic White Cardstock, Orchid Oasis Ink Pad & Cardstock, Sweet Sorbet Ink Pad, Parakeet Party Ink Pad, Tahitian Tide Ink Pad, Starry Night Ink Pad, Stylish Shapes Dies, Sponge Daubers, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Stampin' Seal, Paper Snips, Paper Trimmer, Grid Paper, Bone Folder, Stampin' Scrub & Stampin' Mist (to clean red rubber stamps), Simply Shammy (to clean photopolymer stamps), Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (or you can use the Mini). And don't forget to grab some Basic White Medium Envelopes for mailing your cards!
