Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Meaningful Flowers

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop for the August 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit named Meaningful Flowers. Here is the kit as intended.

I love the the colors in this kit. One of the things I like best about Paper Pumpkin kits is it helps me break out new color combinations. I have made so many alternatives with this kit. The one I’m sharing today is for the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop. If you missed my other alternatives you can find them here. 1st Set of Alternates, 2nd Set of Alternates, & 3rd Set of Alternates

I have a super simple alternative for you today and another with stepped up for more detail.

For the simple on, I used the cardbase with the lotus meaning on the back, stamps from the kit, and a thick white cardbase. All I did was cut the cardbase in half and cut the solid orchid oasis part to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ and adhered to a thick white cardbase. I then trimmed the half with the meaning of the Lotus flower down to 4 x 5.25.” If you want to show more of the orchid oasis you can trim to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8.” Then trimming I did all my cuts for the length off the bottom. I trimmed both sides for the width to keep the meaning in the center. I liked the stamped Lotus (stamp included with kit) much better than the die cut so I stamped my own small Lotus and lilypad using the stamps from the kit in Melon Mambo and Pretty Peacock. I stamped the sentiment using Starry Sky directly on the cardfront.

For the one with more detail, I added the Scallop Contour Dies as well as the Basics 3D embossing folder then trimmed just a hair smaller than my cardbase. I ran the solid Orchid Oasis piece through the Die Cut & Emboss machine with the hatch style Basics 3D embossing folder. Then I cut out the other piece with the largest Scallop Contour die. I added the embossed piece flat to a white cardbase and added the one cut with the scallop to the card with dimensionals. I embellished this card with 3 dots using the Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics.
