A Paper Pumpkin Thing - Grown With Kindness

Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop for February!!

I am so excited to be joining this wonderful, talented group of stampers to share alternate ideas each month for Paper Pumpkin!!  This month we are going to showcase the February Kit...Grown With Kindness.   Love! Love! Love!!

Here is the kit as it was created by Stampin' Up!

And here are my alternative projects.....

 Using the original card base....I layered Old Olive, Basic Black and Whisper White.  I then colored the succulents in with Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends.

A quick little layering on the inside of the card.....

And a bit of paper piecing for the teacup using the Botanical Butterfly Saleabration DSP.

  

Next I have another card using the black and white striped pattern from one of the card base from the kit.

Just score the card at 1 1/4"  on the left side and adhere in place.  Add some Pool Party Shimmery Ribbon. 

Color the succulent teacup again with the Stampin' Blends, Pool Party, Old Olive and Crumb Cake...add some gems from the kit and well as the sentiments.

And always finish the inside of the card!!

And finally...here is a 3-D project ...

Isn't this box just darling?  Perfect for a small gift!!!  Made with Basic Black Cardstock.

Add 1/2" strips from the black and white cardstock base around the box....can you tell I love that card base??

Finish the box with the stunning photograph DSP , layer with Seafoam Green Cardstock and tie off with  Pear Pizzazz Shimmery Ribbon. 

Well I hoped you enjoyed my alternative Paper Pumpkin Projects today!!  

So now it is time to check out all the rest of the creative projects shared on the hop today!!  I am sure you will find all sorts of wonderful inspiration!!

Happy Hopping!!
