Today I’m sharing my Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin Alternates. Each month I offer a class featuring the Paper Pumpkin Kit that month, but I make different cards or projects with the supplies. Most month’s I use just one of each piece from the kit and then I add cardstock. Occasionally I add embellishments or ribbon that aren’t part of the kit.
The October kit was Cozy Christmas.
This kit had fabulous card bases and some fun die cut pieces to go with the card bases. I used one of each card base and cut them in half adding Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Garden Green, Pecan Pie, Thick Basic White and Basic White cardstock. I created six alternate cards from these pieces, leaving lots of supplies left to make 6 cards as the kit was designed. The Christmas color combination was wonderful and I had a blast making these cards. I did get some inspiration from cards I saw online but tried to make them my style with a few changes.
The first card is a Z-Fold. I used the new Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder on the Garden Green layer. Next I die cut one of the red card base halves with the largest Branching Out Die. I stamped the greeting on the back of the ornament for a fun different look for my card. The red sequins were in the kit.
Fellow demonstrator, Rachael Tessman did a card with this layout. I loved the Pecan Pie sparkle — it is the flap off one envelope – the excess is trimmed off.
This was so much fun.
This card was one I saw online – I loved the ornament cut in half. I made a couple of little changes but loved how it turned out. JOY is one of the die cut from Abundant Joy Dies, which is a quarterly add-on for Paper Pumpkins — October, November & December.
The Gold Foil label on this card was another die cut from the Add-On Dies. It definitely gave this card some simple elegance.
I’ve made a couple of diagonal fold cards lately. I thought it was perfect for this Christmas tree image.
The final card is a wonderful gift card holder. The gift card pops up in the center when the card is opened. It is so much fun!!
The deadline for my November Paper Pumpkin Alternates Class is this Sunday, November 9th.
I will ship the kits the first week of December so you have time to assemble and use them for Christmas this year. The cost is $45 for pick up or $53 to mail kit if you want the full Paper Pumpkin Kit which includes my alternate supplies, Paper Pumpkin pieces cut and PDF Tutorial to assemble. Option #2 does not include the Paper Pumpkin Kit but does include all my alternate supplies plus the PDF Tutorial to assemble. The cost for Option #2 is $24 for pick up or $29 to mail the kit to you.
