Hello everyone. Today, I am here to share my 2nd set alternative cards using the March 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit named Memorable Meadows. I am really enjoying h this beautiful kit. I love that we got an extra exclusive stamp set this month. If you follow me you know I often make more than two. Today I will share how I cut one card base from the kit to make 4 alternative cards.
As I mentioned in my last post, I now have an online store you can shop from 24/7. Here is a link to it https://robincarter.stampinup.net/. I will update my host code in the specials tab. I also have the link to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin using me as your demonstrator in the specials tab as well.
If you missed my unboxing and first set of alternative cards you can find it on my YouTube channel with the following links: Unboxing https://youtu.be/XdO0zStghG8. 1st set of alternatives https://youtu.be/DgCZNZfHLLM
The best way to see how I made these alternatives in in my YouTube Channel. Here is a link to the video. I full supply list is at the bottom of this post.
The full supply list is at the bottom of this post.
I started out with the long vertical card base from the kit. I cut the card base in half at 5.5. I then cut each half first at 4″ tall then at 2 5/8.” For the top card shown I dry embossed a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ piece of white cardstock with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder. I then adhered the larger cardstock piece (not the one cut at 2 5/8″) to the left hand side of the embossing folder. I then added ribbon to the right side. I then stamped the large flower from our bonus stamp set in tuxedo black ink. I stamped the leaf in Granny Apple Green and the center of the flower with Daffodil Delight. The sentiments are stamped in tuxedo black as well. One if stamped on a label from the kit and the other is from the Something Fancy dies. I adhered the sentiment flat in the bottom right hand corner and then the flower with dimensionals. I added a brass dragonfly to the flower scene. (not pictured on upper left card).
The second card is pretty easy as well. I die cut Gorgeous Grape with the largest Radiating Stitches Die and adhered it to the center of a thick white cardbase. I then cut a piece of white cardstock to 4.25 x 2 7/8.” Adhere the 2 5/8 wide card base cut previously centered on the white cardstock. Add this piece to the card using dimensionals. Next stamp the sentiment on the right side of the label in tuxedo black as well as the small flower. I colored the leaves of the flower using Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Blends Marker. Trim the label so the flagged portion is about half way in to the Gorgeous Grape with the left side flush with the white layer. Adhere the label flat as well as the flower but using dimensionals on the left side of the flower where it hangs off. I then added some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.
