Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - Daisy Daydream - March 2025

 
Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop!  I am so excited to be a part of this team of hoppers sharing alternative designs for each month's Paper Pumpkin kit.  This month's kit is all about the March 2025 Daisy Daydream kit!!  Hopefully what we show will inspire you.  Be sure to hop all the way through to see what this amazing team has come up with!
 Here is the unboxing video - so you can see all that is included and how the kit can come together.

March: Daisy Daydream

~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh what amazing breath of fresh air and sunshine this month's kit is.  Daisies are an all time favorite flower of mine and were even featured in my wedding spray.  So I came up with these two beautiful alternatives (even though the kit is amazing as is!)

For my projects I also used a piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock and a Garden Green and Crushed Curry stamp pads - the rest came directly from the kit - here are the larger pieces I used and cut up.
This cut little accordian fold card was inspired by my stamping friend, Ginny Harrell who does beautiful work.  I used her measurements of 4 1/2" x 11" and scored at 1 1/2", 3", 5 1/2" and 8" and using pieces of the base and envelope above, decorated it.  That is even the tiny little strip left from the edge of the envelope flap on the section below.

Here it is laid out so you can see how each panel came together.
I stamped the honeycomb from one of the TWO stamp sets included - you heard me right, this kit had a bonus set - using Crushed Curry stamped generationally, then added the sentiment with garden green.  I popped up the daisy on a dimensional and added the be with a glue dot, folding his wings up for dimension.
Had a little bit of daisy left on the envelope, so I fussy cut it and added to a plain white envelope for a finishing touch.
Such a cute card - and if you don't want the smaller size, go ahead and mount it on a coordinating piece of colored CS 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

So, my second project is an amazing pop up Easter card - if you want to see a tutorial on how this type of card comes together you can click HERE.
I cut these pieces out of the base -

Then using these pieces and a couple other elements from the kit - this is what I came up with.

I just LOVE it - perfect for Easter, but also, baptisms, confirmations and more.  
I hope you've enjoyed these alternative ideas.  Now be sure to hop through the rest to get some more great inspiration.  Don't forget to leave a comment, as we'd love to hear what you think.
