Today I am here to share my second set of alternative cards using the 2024 February Paper Pumpkin Kit named Sweet Springtime. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and blog so you do not miss any additional alternatives made with this kit.
A full list of supplies used will be at the bottom of this post. As always, the best way to see how I made these alternatives if on my video in my YouTube channel. Here is a link to the video. If you missed my first set of alternatives you can find it here.
For my 1st Card, I used the a cut up Petal Pink envelope. From one envelope you could get 4 cards by using the flap as well. Use a damp paper towel and gently swipe the glue from the envelope. Trim the petal pink envelope flap to 1.75 x 5.25″ (if wanting 3 from the main part of the envelope trim to 1.5 x 5.25″ and add to a layer of Petal Pink. Add 1/8″ to whatever your envelope piece is cut to. Die cut the 2nd Largest Thoughtful Expressions die in Petal Pink. Then die cut the 2nd largest Stylish shapes circle in white cardstock and adhere to the center of the Thoughtful Expressions die cut. Stamp, color, and cut out a Bunny and chick stamp from the kit. Die cut or punch some greenery in Granny Apple Green and Garden Green. Make 3 daffodils using either the add on dies or the stamp from the kit. Create your scene by using the greenery, flower, bunny, & chick on the label. Add a dry embossed layer to a thick white cardbase, add the Gingham layer to the left, your die cut scene using dimensionals, and sentiment of choice above the scene. Finish out the card with some embellishments.
For the second card, I used a cut up green envelope and remainder slimline card base from the kit. Die cut the remainder of the cardbase using the 3rd largest Stylish Shapes circle die. Die cut the opened green gingham envelope with the 2nd Largest Stylish Shapes die. Also using the same die, die cut either white cardstock or the bottom of the envelope. Use a blending brush to apply a light layer of Granny Apple Green on the last die cut layer. Stamp a vase in Blueberry Bushel and either fussy cut or die cut. This vase is from the Welcome Inn Paper Pumpkin kit back from June 2023. Last I checked this full kit was still available. Die cut or punch some greenery in Granny Apple Green and Garden Green. Make 3 daffodils using either the add on dies or the stamp from the kit. Create your flowers by using the vase, greenery, & daffodils on the lightly colored label. Add a dry embossed layer to a thick white cardbase, add the flower piece to the upper right, and the gingham to the bottom right. Add the flower decorated piece to center left of the card. Add sentiment of choice and embellishments to the card.
