Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Welcome Inn

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog hop for June 2023 featuring alternatives using the Welcome Inn kit. I have had a lot of fun creating with this kit. As I mentioned in my video sharing my second alternative, I save one to share first on the blog hop.

This alternative is very easy. Before making the card as intended, first I cut the cardbase from the kit in half to be able to make more alternatives with one side. Then I took the half piece and trimmed it to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ as I will be putting this piece on my own white cardbase made with thick white cardstock. Before I adhered this piece down, I cut out the center using the 2nd largest Countyside Corner die. I then put the card together as the the kit intended but on my own white cardbase.

I took the nice big piece cut out from the cardbase and adhered it to a piece of Calypso Coral cut with the largest Countryside Corner die. I then embossed a piece white cardstock measuring 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ using the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder. I adhered the embossed piece to a thick white cardbase. I then adhered the Calypso Coral layer on the card using dimensionals. I wanted a different sentiment than those included with the kit and went for the Layering Leaves stamp set. I love this stamp set. Not only does it have some great sentiments, but it has stamps that go with the Bough punch to give your leaves detail. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a label from the All That dies. These are my favorite go to dies. Before adding the label to the card, I added a piece of Night of Navy ribbon (item #160581) in the middle. If you do not have this ribbon, you could easily used a strip of the Night of Navy cut from the cardbases in the kit.

To add a little more interest, I stamped the flower stamp in Night of Navy Ink coloring the center with Early Espresso ink. I then cut it out with the add on dies that are offered for this kit as well as two leaves cut from Old Olive cardstock. I adhered these to the top right hand corner of the die.

Every card looks better with embellishments, so I colored some rhinestones with the Night of Navy blend marker before adding them to the card.

I plan to make a YouTube video for making this card by Friday the 30th so make sure you are subscribed to my channel
