A Banner and Sahara Sand Square Cards | A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop

oh. Hello Friends.

This month's Paper Pumpkin kit blew me away. The only problem was that I was afraid I was going to run out of donuts...

How I love the pink ones with the cream coloured dough. What's funny is that I don't really like donuts  From time to time I'll grab an old fashioned plain donut with my coffee.  But that's rare.
When it comes to paper donuts... I can't get enough.


With that, I welcome you back to another A Paper Pumpking Thing Blog Hop brought to you by some Stampin' Up! demonstrators bringing you alternate ideas for the monthly Paper Pumpkin kits.



This month, the first alternate project I did was a quick birthday banner.  The metallic cording that came with the kit was a perfect thickness to hold the Stampin' Up! large letter dies spelling out 'happy birthday'. Meanwhile the kraft cording that is now on the Stampin' Up! clearance rack is the perfect trim for clothesline style banners.

With some retired mini clothespins I pieced the banners together.


Once I finished my banner, I knew that I had to finish the kit.  I made 6 cards but realized I had more donuts than the die cut card bases.  I didn't want to waste any of these donuts so I started marking some 4.25"square cards along with the Happy Birthday die cut (to be available on June 1, 2017 with the launch of the new Stampin' Up! catalog).


I used several different colours as my card base but in the end Sahara Sand was my favourite choice.


... and well... now i need to get some refill kits.

This blog hop doesn't end here.  Pam Staples is up next and her keen eye for style will certainly inspire you! Check her out!

  12. The system resides on its own (read-only) partition, which is not touched by this process. This needs special skills. This can be done with the help of special machines. This process is one of the methods of data recovery. I haven't used Scalpel but it looks promising computer not detecting sd card. It uses binary magic numbers to identify and slurps files out.
