Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Delicate Wings

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop for the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit named Delicate Wings. Here is the kit as intended.

Each month I like to take the contents of the Paper Pumpkin and expand my kit way further than the 9 intended by adding a few extra supplies and plain white cardbases.

For todays alternative card, I wanted to show the value of these kits by using just the stamps from the kit. I used the large butterfly stamp repeatedly on a piece of 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ piece of cardstock. I used Sahara Sand (retired) as an alternate for Basic Beige (new color) since I have not ordered that cardstock yet. Oh, but it is going in on my next order. I then cut the 3rd largest Scalloped Contour Die with Moody Mauve cardstock. I cut piece of white cardstock to fit in the die, stamped and colored the largest butterfly, and finally stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink using a masking (partial) inking to make the sentiment on two separate lines. The supply list will be at the bottom of this post.

2nd Set of Alternative Cards Using the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Delicate Wings

Today I’m sharing my 2nd set of alternatives using the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit named Delicate Wings.

If you missed my unboxing of this kit you can find it here: https://youtu.be/iKEdmZziVl8 and my 1st Set of Alternatives here: https://youtu.be/YyPmOnSO4Wo

The best way to see these alternatives is on my YouTube channel. Here is a link to that video.

The full supply list is at the bottom of this post.

For these alternatives, I wanted to use the Lost Lagoon butterfly card base as well as the diagonal speckled card front from the kit. I cut the Lost Lagoon card base in half at the score line and then cut it into 3 strips. Cut 2 of them at 1 3/8″ that leaves the last one about 1.5″ and cut each one to 5.25″ tall. Adhere these strips to a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock measuring 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches. Then adhere this to a thick white cardbase. Create a layer using a border die – finished size 3 x 5.25 inches. I shared a tip on my video of how to get a straight border using border dies. So check that tip out on the video. I used (retired) Sahara Sand as I do not have the new Basic Beige color yet. I think it coordinates pretty well. Stamp splatter on the top 3/4 of this layer using the splatter stamp in the kit using ink the same color as the cardstock. Cut, color, and cut out 4 large butterflies and one half butterfly. Cut 2 of the large butterflies with detail butterfly die from the Thanks & Beyond add on dies. Adhere these to the full butterflies. Bend the detail wings up for added dimension. Stamp the sentiment at the bottom. I used one from the kit in Basic Gray ink. Adhere butterflies then add this layer to the card using dimesionals.

The second card uses the diagonal speckled card front and the large butterfly from the kit. Cut Basic Gray cardstock with the 2nd largest die from the Scalloped Contour dies (retiring) or similar size die. Cut a piece of lost lagoon to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ and cut in half diagonally. I share a tip how to do this on my YouTube video. Emboss both pieces with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder (retiring). Trim the speckled diagonal piece to 4 1/8″ wide. Adhere the speckled piece and Lost Lagoon piece to a thick white cardbase. Add tear & tape or tape runner adhesive in the gap between the two pieces and cover with ribbon. Trim a piece of white cardstock for the sentiment to 2 5/8 x 1 1/8 inches. Stamp the sentiment in Basic Gray ink and adhere to the scallop die cut. Add the large butterfly from the kit to the top of the scallop die using adhesive only on the body (curl the wings if desired before adhering). Add the scallop layer to the card using dimensionals. I added a Brass Brushed Butterfly to the sentiment corner.

1st Alternatives Using April 2024 Paper Pumpkin – Delicate Wings

Hello Everyone. Happy Saturday. Today I am sharing my 1st set of alternatives using the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit named Delicate Wings. Once again, the kit is beautiful and the stamp set is fabulous.

If you missed my unboxing of this kit you can find it here: https://youtu.be/iKEdmZziVl8

For this set of alternatives I used the Basic Gray card base and the envelope flap. The best way to see how I made these cards is on my YouTube Video here: https://youtu.be/YyPmOnSO4Wo

April 2024 Paper Pumpkin 1st Alternatives @RobinsCreatons

To make these alternatives I dry embossed a coordinating piece of cardstock with the Basics 3D embossing folder. For the envelope I used retired Sahara Sand and the card base I used Smoky Slate. When I get my new Basic Beige in, I will try it on the envelope.

To get 3 cards from half of the Basic Gray card base, cut it in half at the score line (4.25″). Cut this piece to 5.25″ tall. Then cut twice at 1 3/8″ and you will be left with one at 1.5 inches. For the envelopes just cut at the score line or just off to avoid fraying and cut from both sides until you end up with it 5.25 inches wide. In my video I did not trim any of the scallop off but in hind sight, I would cut a little of the scallop off.

Attach the cut pieces from above to the embossed cardstock. Then, add ribbon on the right side of the card base and envelope pieces. After adding the ribbon, adhere this piece to a thick white card base. The Moody Mauve ribbon is on the last chance list while supplies last. This color is still current for another year so get it while it lasts at a great price.

Next, cut, color, and cut out a large butterfly and the butterfly in flight. If you have the add on dies for this quarter, there is a die to cut out the large butterfly. Also cut out the 2nd largest die from Radiating Stitches Dies. Stamp a leaf of your choice in Lost Lagoon cardstock, leaving the bottom right hand side for the sentiment. Shown is one from Gorgeously Made Stamp set. I used a sentiment from the kit and did partial inking to break it to two lines (also known as masking). Curl the butterfly wings and adhere at just the body. I then added a small butterfly from the kit for some added color like the ribbon. Add the Radiating Stiches layer with dimensionals to the center of the card. The full supply list is at the bottom of this post.

I have a new Etsy shop you can find here. https://robinscreationsstore.etsy.com My Etsy shop in at the very beginning stage so there are few things available. If you would be interested in Scan-N-Cut files for any paper pumpkin stamps, let me know and I can post them.

If your order is under $150 please use the April host code F3AQX4FY.

3rd Set of Alternatives for March 2024 Paper Pumpkin – Memorable Meadows

Hello everyone. Today I am sharing my 3rd set of alternative cards made using the March 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit Memorable Meadows. I had one last card base to work with from the kit. Since I have created so many cards over the last several months making alternatives with Paper Pumpkin kits, I choose to just cut the last base in half.

I will have a complete supply list at the bottom of this post. As I mentioned in my last post, I now have an online store you can shop from 24/7. Here is a link to it https://robincarter.stampinup.net/. I will update my host code in the specials tab. I also have the link to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin using me as your demonstrator in the specials tab as well. I also have a new Etsy shop that I will be adding finished cards and card related items to. I just opened it yesterday, so it will take me a while to take pictures and create set that I can add to my store. Here is the link to it: https://robinscreationsstore.etsy.com

If you missed my unboxing, first, and second set of alternative cards you can find it on my YouTube channel with the following links: Unboxing https://youtu.be/XdO0zStghG8. 1st Set of alternatives https://youtu.be/DgCZNZfHLLM 2nd Set of alternatives https://youtu.be/SaaLtl725MU

The best way to see how I made these alternatives in in my YouTube Channel. Here is a link to the video.

3rd Set of Alternatives #RobinsCreations

As I mentioned above, I first started by cutting the beautiful card base with the lovely trees in half. Then to give the scene a little more pop, I cut out the center of both sides using the 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I matted the cutout with Night of Navy cardstock measuring 4 7/8 x 3.75.”

For the top card, I used the Garden Meadow bundle that coordinates with this months kit. I stamped, colored, and die cut a wheel barrow. I then stamped some birds in the sky using a past paper pumpkin kit from March 2021 named Here’s To You. I added the outside card base piece using multipurpose liquid glue and then the center using dimensionals. I then added the wheelbarrow and the sentiment using liquid glue.

For the bottom card I did the same cutouts of the left side like I did on the right. To fill in the sky area of this card, I brought in the Seasonal Branches bundle. I love how they have dies to go with just about every stamp as well as other stand alone detailed dies. I created the leaf branch using Mossy Meadow Ink for the leaves, Early Espresso for the branch, and a Old Olive watercolor pencil with a blender pen to color in the leaves. The bird also comes in this set, that I colored like a Robin bird. I felt it still needed some more elements so I brought in the fence from the Garden Meadow dies. Be sure and use adhesive sheets when using the fence dies. It sure makes adhering the fence to the card much easier.

2nd Set of Alternative Cards Using March 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit

Hello everyone. Today, I am here to share my 2nd set alternative cards using the March 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit named Memorable Meadows. I am really enjoying h this beautiful kit. I love that we got an extra exclusive stamp set this month. If you follow me you know I often make more than two. Today I will share how I cut one card base from the kit to make 4 alternative cards.

As I mentioned in my last post, I now have an online store you can shop from 24/7. Here is a link to it https://robincarter.stampinup.net/. I will update my host code in the specials tab. I also have the link to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin using me as your demonstrator in the specials tab as well.

If you missed my unboxing and first set of alternative cards you can find it on my YouTube channel with the following links: Unboxing https://youtu.be/XdO0zStghG8. 1st set of alternatives https://youtu.be/DgCZNZfHLLM

The best way to see how I made these alternatives in in my YouTube Channel. Here is a link to the video. I full supply list is at the bottom of this post.

The full supply list is at the bottom of this post.

I started out with the long vertical card base from the kit. I cut the card base in half at 5.5. I then cut each half first at 4″ tall then at 2 5/8.” For the top card shown I dry embossed a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ piece of white cardstock with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder. I then adhered the larger cardstock piece (not the one cut at 2 5/8″) to the left hand side of the embossing folder. I then added ribbon to the right side. I then stamped the large flower from our bonus stamp set in tuxedo black ink. I stamped the leaf in Granny Apple Green and the center of the flower with Daffodil Delight. The sentiments are stamped in tuxedo black as well. One if stamped on a label from the kit and the other is from the Something Fancy dies. I adhered the sentiment flat in the bottom right hand corner and then the flower with dimensionals. I added a brass dragonfly to the flower scene. (not pictured on upper left card).

The second card is pretty easy as well. I die cut Gorgeous Grape with the largest Radiating Stitches Die and adhered it to the center of a thick white cardbase. I then cut a piece of white cardstock to 4.25 x 2 7/8.” Adhere the 2 5/8 wide card base cut previously centered on the white cardstock. Add this piece to the card using dimensionals. Next stamp the sentiment on the right side of the label in tuxedo black as well as the small flower. I colored the leaves of the flower using Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Blends Marker. Trim the label so the flagged portion is about half way in to the Gorgeous Grape with the left side flush with the white layer. Adhere the label flat as well as the flower but using dimensionals on the left side of the flower where it hangs off. I then added some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.

Below is a still photo of the alternative cards.

3 Card Alternatives Using One Card Base – March 2024 Paper Pumpkin

Hello everyone. Today, I am here to share my 1st alternative cards using the March 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit named Memorable Meadows. The card bases are so beautiful in this kit and they are double sided allowing for at least two card fronts. If you follow me you know I often make more than two. Today I will share how I cut the card base to make 3 card fronts.

I am a little later than normal getting started as I attended the Stampin’ Up Onstage event in Houston last weekend. I had such a good time, made some new friends, and got my hands on some goodies for the upcoming new annual catalog. I also got to preview the new in-colors for 2024-2026 as well as a new basic color Basic Beige. I share these in my video, so hop on over to by video linked below to see all the goodies. I also share the information about the April – June Paper Pumpkin kits.

Before I begin I have some information to share. I now have an online store you can shop from. Here is a link to it https://robincarter.stampinup.net/. I will update my host code in the specials tab as well as how to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin using me as your demonstrator.

If you missed my unboxing you can find it on my YouTube channel with the following link: https://youtu.be/XdO0zStghG8

The best way to see how I made these alternatives in in my YouTube Channel. Here is a link to the video. I full supply list is at the bottom of this post.

I started off with the card base that has mostly sky at the top. I cut it tall wise to 5 3/8.” Then I cut 3 pieces: 2 at 2 7/8″ leaving the 3rd piece 2 3/4. I then added scrap strips of Night of Navy to the left and right hand side of the card base pieces. Next, dry emboss with your embossing folder of choice a 5 3/8 x 1.5″ strip of basic white cardstock. Add both item to a thick basic white card base. To decorate the sky, I used one of my favorite stamp sets Courage & Faith on a label from Nested Essentials Dies. I will have a full product list at the bottom of this post. I am lucky to have a Brother Scan-N-Cut so I made a cut file for the leaves I attached on the side.

4th and Final Alternatives Using February 2024 Paper Pumpkin – Sweet Springtime

Hello everyone. Today, I am here to share my 4th and final set of alternative cards using the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit named Sweet Springtime. This kit has been a lot of fun to work with.

If you missed my first three sets of alternative cards you can find them on my YouTube channel with the following links: https://youtu.be/5Cv1vpxNQEU https://youtu.be/kCiVMd3Ygu0 and https://youtu.be/1_CIpfGlb7k. I also did an unboxing which you can find here – https://youtu.be/vQ3SQY4kSog

The best way to see how I made these alternatives in in my YouTube Channel. Here is a link to the video. I full supply list is at the bottom of this post.

4th Alternatives #RobinsCreations

For my last set of alternatives, I needed to use the bunny cardbase in the kit. So I first cut the cardbase in half so I can use both sides to make alternatives

For the bunny side, I trimmed it down to 4×4 cutting at first from the bottom and then from the left side. I saved the bottom part that I cut off to use for the sentiment of the card. I then looked at the coordinating colors for this kit and really liked how Berry Burst brought out the little flowers and gave it a nice bright springtime feel. I needed some birthday cards for my family so that is the sentiment I used. I also needed one more for a boy so used Crumb Cake cardstock in place of the Berry Burst. Before adding to the card base, I added some ribbon across the bottom of the image. The sentiment is centered below the ribbon.

For the gingham side, I went with one of my favorite layouts I’ve used in the last few kits. To get 3 cards from the gingham piece, I trimmed it to 1 3/8″ twice leaving about 1.5 inches and all 5.25″ high. However before you cut your, make sure your top layer is wide enough so it overlaps the gingham piece a little. I adhered a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ piece of Petal Pink card stock to a thick white cardbase, Then adhered the gingham piece on he right hand side. Next cut a 3.25 x 5 3/8″ piece of white cardstock and use a border die on the right-hand side. Also cut a 2.25 x 5.25″ piece of Petal Pink and emboss with your embossing folder of choice. If you a different ribbon adjust the width of your Petal Pink piece. If you do not have ribbon, you could use a strip of cardstock. Adhere your ribbon and Petal Pink pieces to the white scalloped piece. Stamp and color or die cut from Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight cardstock three daffodils. Also stamp a vase from the Welcome Inn past paper pumpkin kit in Misty Moonlight (or coordinating color of your ribbon) and die cut or fussy cut the vase. Adhere your flowers behind the vase, then adhere to the embossed piece. Stamp your sentiment of choice on a label of choice and adhere below the vase.

3rd Set of Alternative Cards Using the February 2024 Sweet Springtime Paper Pumpkin Kit

Hello everyone. Today, I am here to share my 3rd set of alternative cards using the February 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit named Sweet Springtime. I am having a lot of fun as usual making alternatives with the components of this kit.

If you missed my first two sets of alternative cards you can find them on my YouTube channel with the following links: https://youtu.be/5Cv1vpxNQEU https://youtu.be/kCiVMd3Ygu0. I also did an unboxing which you can find here – https://youtu.be/vQ3SQY4kSog

The best way to see how I made these alternatives in in my YouTube Channel. Here is a link to the video.

3rd Set of Alternatives #RobinsCreations

For the first card I wanted to continue to use all the supplies in the kit. I wanted to use the preprinted chick piece included in our kit. I wasn’t a fan of the printed chicks, but love the look of the stamps provided with the kit. So I decided to cover up the printed chicks with stamped images and die cut leaves from the Paper Pumpkin add on dies named The Love of Spring. I also like wanted to use some of the card bases from the kit. I cut the slim line card in half at the score line and then cut length wise to 5 1/8″ and then cut that piece in half. So I can make all 3 cards using the chick printed die cut and only use one card base with another piece left over. As always I like to add a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ dry embossed to my thick white cardbase. I then adhered the card base piece I cut to the left hand side. I stamped and colored my stamped images and die cut leaves from Granny Apple Green cardstock. I adhered all these pieces over the printed chick and then added the label to the card using dimensionals.

For the second card today, I wanted to use the wreath. I felt like it needed a little more so I thought of the Natural Prints Dies. The wreath size worked perfect. I forgot to mention in the video that you could also die cut several of the leaves from the Love Of Spring add on dies if you want to use what you may already have. I die cut the wreath from Garden Green cardstock and adhered it to the back of the wreath from the kit. I added my usual embossed piece to the thick cardbase, added the layered wreath with diminsionals, stamped my sentiment on the label from the kit, and added it to the card using diminsionals as well. I finished off the card by adding a bow to the bottom of the wreath and embellishments.

I hope you have enjoyed these alternatives. Below is a still photo and the product list for the items used are at the bottom of this post.
