Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop - June 2026 - Bikes & Blooms

Wednesday, 24 June 2026

Welcome to our June 2026 Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop featuring the Bikes & Blooms Kit. This kit immediately reminded me of a trip I made to The Netherlands in 2024. It was so much fun exploring Amsterdam and seeing all of the bikes and flowers.

The kit makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs with 9 coordinating envelopes

Silver foil and precut paper pieces
Silver butterfly embellishments and linen thread
Coordinating colors: Calypso Coral (Classic Stampin’ Spot), Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Pecan Pie

These cheerful cards with standout silver details are made for feel-good moments.

Here are the cards you can make with the kit. Which is your favourite?

I love making spanner fold cards - they are so easy and lend themselves to large images or die cuts that will fit across a card. I used the large bike this time for my Spanner Fold. I love how it turned out!

Instructions

Cut card base at 1" from left side to the score line.
Repeat on the right side at 1" to scoreline.
Fold and burnish on scorelines.
Stamp 1 butterfly about 1" from top on left hand flap using Calypso Coral ink.
Stamp 1 butterfly about 1/4" from top and 1/4" from bottom on right hand flap using Calypso Coral ink
Adhere large bike to bottom left hand and right hand flap using Dimensionals.
Stamp flowers using Calypso Coral ink 3 times on flower die cut
Adhere to the bike using Dimensionals.
Stamp "Thank You" Sentiment on banner die cut using Calypso Coral ink.
Adhere to striped green die cut leaving about 1/4" on bottom.
Adhere to the card base using Dimensionals.
Cut 12" of Linen Thread and fold in half. Tie a small bow.
Adhere to flowers using a Glue Dot.
Stamp "Have a LOVELY day" and a butterfly on middle section of card base using Calypso Coral ink.
