Happy May everyone. Before I get to my alternative, just a reminder that the new Annual Catalog products are now available for all to purchase. I made a catalog walk through video yesterday. If you are interested in watching it you can go here:
I make it a goal each month to use all the supplies in the Paper Pumpkin kits. These last two alternatives do just that. These alternatives use the gold splattered card bases and the pretty detail butterfly partial cut out in the kit.
If you missed my unboxing of this kit you can find it here: https://youtu.be/iKEdmZziVl8 and my 1st Set of Alternatives here: https://youtu.be/YyPmOnSO4Wo, 2nd set here: https://youtu.be/in5IinDu3aY, and 3rd set here: https://youtu.be/5nEm8J_Pico
The best way to see these alternatives is on my YouTube channel. Here is a link to the video.
The full supply list is at the bottom of this post.
Let’s start with the big butterfly. There is plenty of room on the bottom part of the gold to cut out the thanks die from the Thanks & Beyond add on dies. So I cut out the word thanks using that die on all three pieces before adhering the butterfly to the layer. I chose to use a layer of Basic Gray behind the scene to make it feel very rich. I randomly stamped the large butterfly on this piece to make my on DSP (designer series paper). I adhered the butterfly layer using dimensionals and then added ribbon using my ribbon saving technique before adding the whole thing to a thick white card base.
For the alterative using the gold speckled card bases, I first cut them in have at 4 1/8.” I first started by then cutting that piece in half. After making the card I thought that did not leave a good amount of space to put my stamped, colored, and cut out butterflies. So on my next set I cut the card base half into 3 pieces. I then added a dry embossed piece of coordinating cardstock. Pictured is Moody Mauve and Lost Lagoon. I attached these two pieces to a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ piece so I could add ribbon using my ribbon saving technique.
