August 2023 Paper Pumpkin – Meaningful Flowers

Hello everyone. Apologies for the lag in time of having a new blog post. Things have been busy here. I finally received my August 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit named Meaningful Flowers. Hopefully you are subscribed to my YouTube channel and have already seen the unboxing. Wow am I excited to have a lot of material to work with including the beautiful envelopes. If you missed my unboxing you can find it here.

I got started right away making alternatives using one of the beautiful envelopes. I made 3 cards using only one envelope and adding some basic supplies. If you do not have the dies I used, they could easily be swapped with other “frame” type dies. My YouTube video is the best way to see how I made these.

1st Set of Alternatives – 3 Cards from one cardbase.

Supply List:

  • Thick White Cardbases
  • White, Tahitian Tide, and Garden Green Cardstock
  • Embossing Folders – Quatrefoil and Distressed Tile 3D (coming in the new Mini 2023 September – December catalog)
  • Dies – Radiating Stitches and Timeless Arrangements
  • Stamps – So Sincere (coming in the new Mini 2023 September – December catalog)

  1. Robin,
    Your PP alternatives are great. I enjoy listening to your clear explanations, your calm, soothing voice, and inspiring ideas. Thank you for sharing!
    I just saw your 2nd set of alternatives video for the Aug ’23 PP. I loved how you store your PP stamp sets. How did you get the inserts, with the stamp set images? I know PP/SU provide a downloadable insert for each month, however, they are way bigger . Yours are just the perfect size and don’t use up as much ink. Could you share how you come about those? Thank you so much.
