APPT Blog Hop: Painted Petals
Welcome to our monthly APPT blog hop to showcase our July 2024 Painted Petals Paper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop for additional creative ideas that my fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator friends shared.*
For those of you not familiar with these kits, they get delivered straight to your mailbox in the months of your choice. Inside are all the supplies you need AND the directions for assembling the kit cards/projects designed. Here are the intended cards designed for this July 2024 kit. (Click here for Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
I’ve already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on July 24th. Be sure to visit to see the gift boxes and cards I created.
Today my projects include a variation on one of those boxes, two different types of fun-fold cards, and a scrapbook page layout. Lots of stuff, right? So instead of writing out the details for each of these, I’ve recorded videos to share the details for them. You’ll want to view those videos because they will include variations of the ones in the photos below!
Watch both videos (I had to do two recordings due to internet issues with my lives) first by clicking here and here to get the measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on the images below if you are already in my blog post). Then scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make everything.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in these videos. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).
Here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my videos. (Remember to watch first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

All Star Blog Hop: Mediterranean Blooms
Welcome to our All Star monthly blog hop for the Mediterranean Blooms Suite! We are excited to share even MORE ideas than what we are offering in our exclusive Video Class Bundle this month. I’ve created this “all the love” card using the Citrus Blooms Stamps and Dies, the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder (which coordinates really well with the tile images in the paper from this suite), heat embossing for the sentiments, a Blending Brush for a touch of color on the dry embossed tile layer, and Garden Green embellishments and leaves.
You’ll want to emboss the front white layer first to give it texture, and then use a Blending Brush to apply just a little Pool Party ink in the lower right section. Then using VersaMark ink, stamp the outside sentiment onto a scrap of Basic Black Cardstock and the inside sentiment onto another scrap of Basic Black Cardstock. Add white Basics Wow! Embossing Powder and heat to set. Then punch out the sentiments, die-cut the leaves, and assemble the card.
Products I used… a complete list of products I used is shown below, and everything is linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
- Smoky Slate Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2”
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 4″ x 5-1/4″
- Scraps for stamping, embossing, and punching two 2″ circles
- Basic White Thick Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
- 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”
- Garden Green Cardstock
- Scraps for die-cutting leaves
The front sentiment circle is connected directly the the largest set of leaves and added with Dimensionals. The two other large branches of leaves are adhered directly to the embossed layer. Remember to add the Blooming Pearls along the right edge too.
Here is what the inside looks like. I just LOVE white sentiments on black backgrounds. The contrast is stunning!

Each month’s Video Class Bundle includes photos, imperial and metric measurements, complete product lists, and links to instructional videos for twelve projects designed by our team of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world.
