APPT – April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop

April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

We are working with the April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Inked Occasions.

Welcome to the A Paper Pumpkin Thing “APPT”  Monthly Blog Hop! The PPX Crew has joined with some additional Stampin’ Up! demonstrators to give you even more amazing alternatives with the Paper Pumpkin Kits. We blog alternate projects from the prior month’s Paper Pumpkin Kit using only the items from the Paper Pumpkin Kit and Stampin’ Up! Products. I’m Linda Cullen from Massachusetts, and you are visiting my blog, Crafty Stampin’. At the bottom of the blog post, you will find a list of all the participating blog hoppers so you can move along from blog to blog and see all the fantastic projects.

Cards

Welcome to the APPT blog hop!! We are all working with the amazing April 2025 Paper Pumpkin.  I created two simple alternative greeting cards.

My first card uses a card front included in the kit that is cut down to 3 1/2″ with a Gold Foil border.  A banner from Nested Essentials Dies in Gorgeous Grape embossed with So Swirly Embossing Folder.  I added the die-cut greeting from the kit.  I love the big & bold greeting “hugs”. Last I added a few Gorgeous Grape Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

My second card features the die-cut flowers from the kit.  I applied them with Dimensionals to a Basic White Thick card base toward the top of the card.  I added a Basic White panel with the greeting “hugs” from the kit stamped in Gorgeous Grape Ink that has a small Gorgeous Grape Cardstock stripe on the top.  I finished it with a few Gorgeous Grape Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

I hope you liked my projects. Be sure to follow along with all the other Blog Hoppers. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
