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.

 I put together a few graduation cards in the last couple weeks and for some of them, I used the Sentimental Park stamp set along with some designer series paper from Sale-a-bration.

The sentiment layer is made with the Stitched Rectangles dies and there are some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels for accents.

Around the Bend

Since I am still working on the thank you cards for graduation gifts, you will probably be seeing quite a few thank you cards in the next few weeks. This is another one I put together using some scraps of die cuts I had from other projects.

In the background I have a piece of Coastal Cabana card stock embossed with a Basics 3D folder which is one of the online exclusive products. On top of that is a piece of Orchid Oasis card stock that was die cut using the Around the Bend dies. Next the So Saffron die cut was made with the Something Fancy dies and the sentiment layer was made with the Queen Bee dies.

Add texture to your cards with the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. The three embossing folders in this pack have basic designs that complement any project.

Whether you’re just starting out with embossing or you’re already an embossing pro, you need these embossing folders!

There's an easy way to make your handmade cards even more amazing: use the Around the Bend Dies to cut the edge of a card front into a delightful border. Give your cards wavy, curvy borders. Combine dies to create curvy borders with peekthrough designs. This set also includes standalone dies so you can cut accent pieces: flowers, hearts, leaves. These dies are a must-have for any crafter!

Recently, this card became part of my Stamp A Stack rotation showcasing the Sentimental Park stamp set. 

The die cuts were created with the Split Textures and Stitched So Sweetly dies. Even though the Stitched So Sweetly dies are retired, you will see that I use them quite often because so many sizes of sentiments fit on them.

There are a few Iridescent Pearls added for a little bit of accent as well.

January Stamp Club Projects

This month, we took advantage of some of the Sale-a-bration designer series paper collections in our projects. The Dandy Designs collection, which has 48 sheets of 12" x 12" double sided designs was used for the scrapbook layout along with the 

Something Fancy dies.

The card stock colors used were Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Coastal Cabana and Fresh Freesia.

The first card uses some items in the Mini Catalog including the Sentimental Park stamp set, Fancy Flora designer series paper and Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls. In the background, we have used the Painted 3D Texture folder on So Saffron card stock.

Lastly, we used the Dainty Flowers designer series paper from Sale-a-bration and the Something Fancy Bundle. There are a few Self-Adhesive Milky Dots used as accents.

Celebrate You

This card is in my Stamp A Stack rotation right now using the Sentimental Park stamp set. I have stamped the outlined flower images on the card base and also on the Cherry Cobbler layer to break up the background.

The Cherry Cobbler layer is die cut using the Split Textures dies and the sentiment is cut using the Scalloped Contours dies. I also added a few Iridescent Pearls.

Sentimental Park

Today, I am sharing two similar cards, both using Sentimental Park as the stamp set and Dainty Flowers (SAB 2023) as the designer series paper collection.

I have also used the Twigs and Sprigs embossing folder and die set for the leaves and Stitched So Sweetly for the sentiment layers. 

On the top card, I split up the colors on the die cut and added some Linen Thread around where the colors meet. 

Inside the cards, I used a portion of the designer series paper from Sale-a-bration called Dainty Flowers and that is the same collection used on the front of the cards.

The flowers all have Adhesive Backed Milky Dots in the middle of them...
