When is the last time you checked out a Paper Pumpkin Kit? WOW — Painted Petals Paper Pumpkin from July was AMAZING! I had so much fun making alternate cards and projects. Each color grouping used just one of each element in the kit. I added additional cardstock and some die cutting. Participants in my Paper Pumpkin Party received supplies for 8 cards, a framed art and a mini gift box plus still had supplies left to make 6 cards — 2 each of the original 3 cards!! The picture below shows you the beautiful cards as they were designed by Stampin’ Up!
Here is a group picture of my 8 cards, framed art and mini gift box. Some are inspirations from things I saw online with some fun tweaks. Thanks to Rachael Tessman for the mini gift box idea — adorable and so quick and easy to make using one card base.
Calypso coral card set
The first four Calypso Coral cards are all made using one card base, one envelope and one die cut from the Paper Pumpkin Kit. I added Calypso Coral, Early Espresso and Basic White cardstocks.
A simple greeting stamped directly on the card keeps the focus on the beautiful flowers.
This card is created by cutting the envelope apart and using it as designer paper.
This double panel gives a fun look to the card. The greeting bubble came precut in the kit and you just stamp the works — so easy to do. I stamped the flower with Memento ink on Basic White and colored it with Stampin’ Blends, then die cut it using the Every Celebration Die set that is an add-on item for July, August and September kits.
mossy meadow/old olive card set
Next, I used one of the green card bases — cut it apart and used the card front with the die cut from the kit and added it to a frame I purchased at Dollar Tree a long time ago. I love having these little stashes of items to decorate.
This time I started with a Thick Basic White card base, then used the card back from the project above with a piece of the coordinating envelopes as designer paper. The greeting is stamped on a Basic White circle cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies, then adhered to a Mossy Meadow die that was cut using the Everyday Details Die.
The final green card used remaining pieces of the envelope and another stamped flower that was die cut using the add-on die set.
melon mambo card set
Our final three projects used the Melon Mambo card base, envelope and die cut. First is this adorable mini gift box. Again, thanks to Rachel Tessman for the fabulous design.
The box is approximately 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ x 1/2″ – just right for a little chocolate treat, gift card or small gift.
This card used parts of the envelope with the greeting stamped at the bottom.
The final piece of the envelope and the die cut stamped flower added to Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature circles.
I love making alternate Paper Pumpkin projects each month.
