Hello everyone. Today, I am here to share my 4th and final set of alternative cards using the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit named Sweet Springtime. This kit has been a lot of fun to work with.
If you missed my first three sets of alternative cards you can find them on my YouTube channel with the following links: https://youtu.be/5Cv1vpxNQEU https://youtu.be/kCiVMd3Ygu0 and https://youtu.be/1_CIpfGlb7k. 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. I full supply list is at the bottom of this post.
For my last set of alternatives, I needed to use the bunny cardbase in the kit. So I first cut the cardbase in half so I can use both sides to make alternatives
For the bunny side, I trimmed it down to 4×4 cutting at first from the bottom and then from the left side. I saved the bottom part that I cut off to use for the sentiment of the card. I then looked at the coordinating colors for this kit and really liked how Berry Burst brought out the little flowers and gave it a nice bright springtime feel. I needed some birthday cards for my family so that is the sentiment I used. I also needed one more for a boy so used Crumb Cake cardstock in place of the Berry Burst. Before adding to the card base, I added some ribbon across the bottom of the image. The sentiment is centered below the ribbon.
For the gingham side, I went with one of my favorite layouts I’ve used in the last few kits. To get 3 cards from the gingham piece, I trimmed it to 1 3/8″ twice leaving about 1.5 inches and all 5.25″ high. However before you cut your, make sure your top layer is wide enough so it overlaps the gingham piece a little. I adhered a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ piece of Petal Pink card stock to a thick white cardbase, Then adhered the gingham piece on he right hand side. Next cut a 3.25 x 5 3/8″ piece of white cardstock and use a border die on the right-hand side. Also cut a 2.25 x 5.25″ piece of Petal Pink and emboss with your embossing folder of choice. If you a different ribbon adjust the width of your Petal Pink piece. If you do not have ribbon, you could use a strip of cardstock. Adhere your ribbon and Petal Pink pieces to the white scalloped piece. Stamp and color or die cut from Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight cardstock three daffodils. Also stamp a vase from the Welcome Inn past paper pumpkin kit in Misty Moonlight (or coordinating color of your ribbon) and die cut or fussy cut the vase. Adhere your flowers behind the vase, then adhere to the embossed piece. Stamp your sentiment of choice on a label of choice and adhere below the vase.
