Hello everyone. Today, I am here to share my 3rd set of alternative cards using the February 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit named Sweet Springtime. I am having a lot of fun as usual making alternatives with the components of this kit.
If you missed my first two sets of alternative cards you can find them on my YouTube channel with the following links: https://youtu.be/5Cv1vpxNQEU https://youtu.be/kCiVMd3Ygu0. I also did an unboxing which you can find here – https://youtu.be/vQ3SQY4kSog
The best way to see how I made these alternatives in in my YouTube Channel. Here is a link to the video.
For the first card I wanted to continue to use all the supplies in the kit. I wanted to use the preprinted chick piece included in our kit. I wasn’t a fan of the printed chicks, but love the look of the stamps provided with the kit. So I decided to cover up the printed chicks with stamped images and die cut leaves from the Paper Pumpkin add on dies named The Love of Spring. I also like wanted to use some of the card bases from the kit. I cut the slim line card in half at the score line and then cut length wise to 5 1/8″ and then cut that piece in half. So I can make all 3 cards using the chick printed die cut and only use one card base with another piece left over. As always I like to add a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ dry embossed to my thick white cardbase. I then adhered the card base piece I cut to the left hand side. I stamped and colored my stamped images and die cut leaves from Granny Apple Green cardstock. I adhered all these pieces over the printed chick and then added the label to the card using dimensionals.
For the second card today, I wanted to use the wreath. I felt like it needed a little more so I thought of the Natural Prints Dies. The wreath size worked perfect. I forgot to mention in the video that you could also die cut several of the leaves from the Love Of Spring add on dies if you want to use what you may already have. I die cut the wreath from Garden Green cardstock and adhered it to the back of the wreath from the kit. I added my usual embossed piece to the thick cardbase, added the layered wreath with diminsionals, stamped my sentiment on the label from the kit, and added it to the card using diminsionals as well. I finished off the card by adding a bow to the bottom of the wreath and embellishments.
I hope you have enjoyed these alternatives. Below is a still photo and the product list for the items used are at the bottom of this post.
