A Paper Pumpkin Thing Poppin Birthday Blog Hop

Happy Thursday! I took last week off because it was spring break and it was also my birthday!! I have spent some time getting things together for my upcoming OnStage trip and guess what?! You can see my floor in my craft room!!!! Enough about that!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop is live today! I can't wait to show you the alternative designs that we have all created with the Poppin' Birthday Paper Pumpkin Kit!

With this months kit I immediately thought Card In A Box when I saw the candles! So I have created a fun Card In A Box using both of the stamp sets provided in the kit! I even used the number 2! I am guessing that this card will for my best friends baby who turns 2 in May, and now I am ahead of the game right? My card was created using the card bases in the kit and the Rectangle Stitched Dies! I colored a present from the Birthday Cheer stamp set to go with this fun card that is on a Poppy Parade Base with Bermuda Bay mat!

I am going to keep this short so you can keep hoppin' on the Poppin' Birthday Blog Hop! You can find the link list below to click along with!
Happy Thursday!

Stampin Friends Birthday Bash Blog Hop

Happy Thursday! I am so glad to be back with the Stampin Friends Blog Hop today! Did any of you do anything exciting for Valentines? I had a day chalked full of Valentine festivities with the kids and then we went to dinner with another couple. So all in all, it was a good Valentines! 

Now that Valentines is over, we can skip onto the fun cards that no one can ever have to many of, birthday!! So we are hopping to a "Birthday Bash" theme. I honestly don't know how I pulled it all together! As I said above, I have in drowning in Valentine so I wasn't sure I was going to be able to pull my crap together to have goodies for this hop. Then I remembered that I had made this cute little Panda for a swap, then quickly whipped up a 3D item. Now let me get you the details!

My card is a nice a base of Berry Burt with a matte of Lemon Lime Twist. My Party Panda was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I punched the balloon using the Balloon Builder Punch with the Picture Perfect Party DSP. I stamped a few confetti from the Party Panda set using Bermuda Bay ink before adding the Self Adhesive Sequins. This was the card as my swap. I wanted to doll it up a bit for the blog hop so I added a Light Smoky Slate shadow using my Stampin' Blends marker. and a bit of Washi Tape at the top right.

My fun little treat holder was made from a single sheet of 6 x 6 DSP! It was so easy and cute. I then wrapped my tea bag with a 1.5" x 6" strip of DSP. I broke in my new Paper Snips as I fussy cut the bow from one of the sheets of the Picture Perfect Party DSP! I will be live on Facebook today for a fun, free tutorial on this!

Thank You so much for stopping by today! I can't wait for you to tour the whole hop! You will find the link list below!
Happy Hopping!!!
