Krafty Chicks Challenge #758: BIRTHDAY

Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Already into March, the third month of the year and time is moving too quickly. It means winter is almost over and spring is right around the corner. YAY! On the first week of each month, the Krafty Chicks Challenge are looking for BIRTHDAY themed paper crafts.

#758 BIRTHDAY

I spent most of last week playing around with the February 2025 Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin kit. In case you don't know what a Paper Pumpkin kit is, in a nutshell it's a monthly subscription for an all-inclusive kit that gets delivered to your door. Most kits are 8-9 greeting card with matching envelopes but on occasion it's been a home decor piece or treat boxes/packaging. If you want more info, don't be afraid to contact me. I'm here to help as well as create.

Products used:

• Stamp Set: February 2025 Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin
  
• Card Stock: Basic Beige (164511), Old Olive (100702)
  
• DSP: February 2025 Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin
  
• Ink Pads: Old Olive (147090)
  
• Accessories: Linen Threas (104199), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)
   

No card is complete without finishing the inside of the card and the envelope. Keep it simple with a little DSP and/or coordinating image.

 Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for BIRTHDAY week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.

Love To Craft Challenge #85 March

 Good day my Crafty friends! It's already March and time to play along with the Love To Craft Challenge Blog. It's a wonderful group of crafty people creating and motivating the viewers to participate in the easy Anything Goes challenge every other month. You have six weeks to make time in your craft space and play along. I can handle that! Can you??

I was playing around with the latest Paper Pumpkin kit: February 2025 Hello Spring. I love creating alternative designs after I've assembled one of each card following the included instruction sheet. So far I've come up with 6 alternatives and have a bit of left over pieces to create a few more.
