Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - May 2026 - Sparkling Celebrations

 

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 May 2026 "Sparkling Celebrations" 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!
~*~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~*~
What a fun kit this is - full of the feelings of summer and celebrations.  I especially like the fireworks, which are absolutely one of my favorite things!
So I chose to mix it up a bit using the base and fireworks from one card - and placing the window layer from another to make it look as if I was watching the fireworks through the window -
These will be come my 4th of July cards here in the U.S. -
How fun is that - and I used the Rhinestone basic jewels instead of the gems that came with the kit, so I could use different sizes on the different fireworks sizes.  
And - of course - had to decorate the envelope - 

I hope you've enjoyed these alternative ideas.  Don't forget about the Add-On dies for this quarter's kits as they are wonderful -
#168665  Wonderful Scenes $13.00
Available to Paper Pumpkin subscribers, only while supplies last!
Now be sure to hop through the rest to get some more great inspiration.  Don't forget to leave a comment.
