A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: Positively Picturesque

Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!  I am so excited to have you come over to The Creativity Cave!  Whether this is your first stop or you've just joined us from my Fabulous Friend, Kelly's Blog, I am thrilled you are here!!

This month's Paper Pumpkin Kit, Positively Picturesque makes some adorable projects:

My favorite thing to do is to create fun, new, alternative projects using the kit and this month's stamp set is AWESOME and makes some amazing projects!

So I wanted to make a set of cards that coordinated–and I LOVE these cards!!  They were super quick and easy to make with just a few supplies!  Plus, I have a stepped up option as well!

Gather Your Supplies:

• 1/2 sheet Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay and Berry Burst (8 1/2 x 5 1/2")
• Scrap of Whisper White
• Black, Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay, and Berry Burst Ink pads
• 2 1/4" Circle Punch
• Triple Banner Punch
• Dimensionals

Stamp the background border image several times, off-set from one another and then punch the circle.  Add the coordinating color of "burst" images and add the sentiment of your choice on top in Black ink.  I added a little strip with the rest of the sentiment with the ends punched with the Triple Banner Punch. That's IT!  SO EASY!

Aren't these fun, happy, summer Colors?  LOVE it!

Next I wanted to step one up a bit, so I worked with Pool Party and added a scallop circle (from the Layering Circles Framelits), some Black Metallic Thread, rhinestones, and spritzing with the Black Marker.

BAM!  So much fun to kick it up a notch and experiment with adding embellishments to your design–I love them both ways! Have fun experiementing with a simple design and working on how to take it to the next level (just don't go too far or you'll have to send it to the Vegas Wedding Chapel! 😉
