Welcome to the A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop! I am so excited to have you stop by The Creativity Cave and enjoy some inspiration using this month's Paper Pumpkin Kit, Layered Leaves! Whether this is your first stop or you have just joined in from the AMAZING Jennifer's Blog, I am just thrilled to have you here!
Paper Pumpkin is Stampin Up's Monthly Subscription Service which delivers a kit to your door each month that can be completed in 30 minutes and includes everything but a pair of scissors! It is so much fun and the best part is I provide you TONS of inspiration for your kit. Whether it is after you've made your projects and want to do more, or if you want to change up the kit project's, I've got you covered! Are you ready to join the fun? You can register here, and don't forget, you'll get 15-20 additional project tutorials each month from me, when you subscribe through The Creativity Cave!
I created two cards--this first one is a little bit on the simple, and more masculine side. It was a piece of cake and uses some of the kit materials plus a couple extra items:
Gather Your Supplies:
1/2 Sheet Cajun Craze
4 x 5 1/4 Chocolate Chip
3 7/8 x 5 1/8 Crumb Cake
3/4 and 1" Circle Punches
Crumb Cake Ink
September PP Kit (Layered Leaves)
Linen Thread
I really think this simple card is perfect for a variety of occasions, including masculine cards--just change up the sentiment to fit your needs!
My Second card features more of the diecut pieces from the kit and includes a bit of a brighter, happier color scheme!
Gather Your Supplies:
1/2 Sheet Calypso Coral
4 x 5 1/4" Crumb Cake
JUST a teensy bit smaller than 4 x 5 1/4" Peekaboo Peach for a crazy thin layer ;)
Peekaboo Peach and Calypso Coral ink
Gold Natural Trim
Gold Metallic Thread
Dimensionals
Calypso Coral Marker
Isn't this fun!!?? The sentiment is from the set and I think it looks equally good in these fun colors as it does in the Crumb Cake/fall-like color scheme!
Pretty, Pretty!
Which one is your fav? Please leave me a comment below!

Welcome to the WWYS Challenge! This week we are working with the set, Merry Cafe from the Holiday Catalog.

I love the color and textures mixed together on this card!
Gather Your Supplies:
1/2 Sheet Crumb Cake
3 1/8 x 4 1/8" Fresh Fig
3x4 Painted Autumn DSP
Fresh Fig, Early Espresso, Old Olive, and Crushed Curry Ink pads
Fresh Fig Ribbon

The Painted Autumn paper pairs perfectly with the fall images in this stamp set!
Of course there are lots of ways to use this set beyond fall--so much fun for all the upcoming holidays! Perfect for gift card giving, too! Did you know I have an online class with this set? You can see the details and register here.
I love the little details that this set offers--a little heart stopper, the textured coffee wrap--super cute things that really make this set and the framelits stand out!
I really think this card turned out fantastic--with fall in the air--it is the perfect card to share with a friend (or surprise with a coffee gift card treat!) And the Fresh Fig/Crumb Cake/Early Espresso color combo really sings! :)

The first card I created is so much fun using the new Spooky Cat Bundle from the Holiday Catalog paired with the Everyday Label Punch!
Here is a bunch more inspiration using the Spooky Cat Bundle for you--these are swap cards I received in swaps with fellow demonstrators:
Next I shared this simple card layout: A 3 3/4" Square of DSP on a card with an oval for the sentiment below. SUPER simple and easy to create--here are a few more with the same layout:
Using the Pick a Pumpkin Framelits and Spooky Night DSP
Here I combined the Snowflake Sentiments with the Foil Snowflakes and Merry Little Christmas DSP. SO MUCH FUN!

Welcome to the OSAT Blog Hop! Whether you are just joining in from the wonderful Rick's Blog or this is your first stop, I am just thrilled you are here at The Creativity Cave! This month our theme is Throwback Thursday! So I went into my box of card samples that I LOVE and can't get rid of--this is one of my all time fav cards! I created the card on the right several years ago with the Mixed Bouquet Stamp set (long retired) in Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana (oh, how I loved that color), Pool Party and Whisper White with a touch of Tangerine Tango! OH SO MUCH FUN!
For my new, updated version, I used the Eastern Beauty stamp set (and One Big Meaning for the sentiment) and I altered the colors slightly:
Island Indigo, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party Whisper White and a pop of Berry Burst! I LOVE the new color combo--I admit I tried to use Tangerine Tango again, but it was simply WRONG! Check out the video--you'll see!
Gather Your Supplies:
1/2 Sheet Basic Gray
4 x 5 1/4" Basic Gray
Scrap of Berry Burst
3 x 4" Whisper White
1 x 3" Strips of Island Indigo, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party
Oh My Stars Embossing FOlder
Eastern Palace Bundle (set and framelits)
One Big Meaning Stamp Set
Basic Gray and Berry Burst Ink Pads
Triple Banner Punch
Perfect White Accents
I also created this adorable gift box. The box is just a craft box (it is actually the box we received a gift from Stampin Up on the Thailand Incentive Trip) and I just wrapped it in some Wood Textures DSP, added 2 medallions die cut with the Eastern Medallion Framelits and a little Ribbon wrapped around. Super quick and an easy way to dress up a little gift!
I sure hope you loved these projects!

Welcome to the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge! This week we have a fantastic theme, CAS or Clean and Simple Fall. While it is 80-degrees here today, it doesn't feel much like fall but I know it is right around the corner! I have to admit, I LOVE this week's theme--and the card I created! Best of all it is CRAZY easy to create!
Gather Your Supplies:
1/2 Sheet Very Vanilla (5 1/2 x8 1/2")

I made this a Thank You card, but you could really put any sentiment with this and it would be very beautiful!
