More June Paper Pumpkin Alternative Cards

As promised yesterday, I have four more alternative card ideas for you using the June Paper Pumpkin kit and a few other products. On the first two cards, I used the Countryside Corners dies to cut out a piece off the card base and then added one of the designs from the Countryside Inn designer series paper collection to the inside of the base so it would show through on the front. I also cut down one of the pieces from the kit using the same dies, then layered it on top of the designer series paper on the card on the right.

I used a couple die cuts of leaves I had sitting on my table along with a few flowers made with the stamp set in the kit and the add on dies.

In the above picture, the card on the right has the piece that I die cut out of one of the card bases used as a background piece. For the background in the card on the right, I cut down one of the Night of Navy card bases and embossed it with the Countryside Blossoms folder. 

The last picture again shows the cards as they were designed a couple variations.

June Paper Pumpkin with Alternatives

Sometimes I enjoy sitting down to put together my Paper Pumpkin kit as the designers intended and other times, I like to create some alternative projects. This month, I put together two of each of the cards as intended (with slight variations) which you can see in the first picture below. Then, I made six more cards some of the remaining pieces of the kit along with a few other products.

I will share two of the alternative cards with you today and the other four tomorrow...

On the cards in the picture below, I used the optional add on dies called the Welcome in Dies along with the Countryside Corners dies, Countryside Blossoms Embossing folder, Sentimental Park stamp set, Twisted Rope 3D embossing folder, 1/8" ribbon combo pack, Tinsel Gems three pack and Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper.
