More Paper Pumpkin Card Ideas

As promised, I have some more alternative card ideas for you today along with the decorated box that this wonderful kit arrived in.  

The picture above again shows the cards as they were designed...

Again, I have just added some card stock to create these alternative cards and used pieces from the kit - some of them have been altered by cutting them down or by using punches.

The beautiful box could be used to gift the cards or to just fill with fun items for a gift and the decorations on the box were included in the kit!  

You can sign up for the September kit until the 10th right here.

August Paper Pumpkin Card Ideas

The August Paper Pumpkin kit lets you create some beautiful and inspiring cards - as always they have everything cut and ready for you to use as well as the stamps, ink, envelopes and adhesives you will need. The first picture below shows the cards as intended by the designers.

I had a lot of fun putting together alternative ideas so not only will I share a few of those with you today, but I have more for tomorrow as well!  

I cut down some of the card bases and envelopes, added a little bit of card stock here and there and put together the cards in the pictures above and below by doing that.

More ideas to come in the next couple days!

You can sign up for the September kit until the 10th right here.

For Everything

A simple card can still have many layers (at least in my mind!) and this one uses several layers and patterns.  

There are two of the newest In Colors featured on this card - Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.  I have chosen patterns in the designer series paper collection called Pansy Petals with these colors along with the card stock and ink.  

The sentiment is from the Color and Contour stamp set and is on a die cut made with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

A Miracle

There are a lot of different products that went into these baby cards - lots of stamps, dies and papers.

I began with a piece of So Saffron card stock that I stamped using the Textures and Frames (SAB 2021) stamp set and Crumb Cake and Daffodil Delight ink.  Then, I added a piece of Crumb Cake card stock that had been die cut with the Picture This dies.

Next, I added  the onesies that were die cut using the Baby Clothes dies - one of them is also stamped first with the All for Baby stamp set which is also where a sentiment comes from. The other sentiment was stamped with the Many Happenings stamp and die cut with the Messages die.  I added a few Decorative Matte dots to complete the cards.
