Today, I’m using the leftover strips from the 2nd set of alternatives as well as the pumpkin die cuts and pumpkin stamp. In the video, I also show some tips of how to color the pumpkin stamp to give it a little more interest. If you missed my unboxing video for the kit you can find it here. My first set of alternatives video are here. My 2nd set of alternatives video can be found here.
One more bit of information before I share the alternatives. Some products that were currently unavailable from the O Holy Night Suite are back in stock. Also, some more items were added to the clearance rack. There are still some great goodies there.
Here is the link to today’s alternatives. 3rd Video
The card on the left uses 2 leftover strips (stamped lost lagoon cardbase pieces). I made 2 additional strips in Very Vanilla to fill in the bottom. I got this pattern idea from a card sketch found on Pinterest. Behind the strips is a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ piece of crumb cake that is embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder. The sentiment is from a past Paper Pumpkin kit on a die cut from the All That Dies.
The 2nd two cards use the pumpkin stamp from the kit. All the pumpkins are stamped in Pumpkin Pie and the stem in Early Espresso. The “fence” is a die cut from the Playful Piggy Dies as well as the leaves on the middle card. The fence is cut from crumb cake and the leaves in Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, and Copper Clay cardstock. These dies are on the clearance rack. There are so many useful dies even if you do not have the coordinating stamp set. For only $12.40, they are a steal. The 3rd card leaves and the sentiment come from a past Paper Pumpkin Kit Hello Pumpkin September 2020. I love using past kits to show what a value these kits are with exclusive stamp sets that can be used over and over.
Below is a list of the supplies used to create these alternatives. Note that the Playful Piggy Dies and the Ribbon do not reflect the clearance rack which is $12.40 and $3.40.
