Today I’m sharing my 2nd set of alternatives using the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit named Delicate Wings.
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
The best way to see these alternatives is on my YouTube channel. Here is a link to that video.
The full supply list is at the bottom of this post.
For these alternatives, I wanted to use the Lost Lagoon butterfly card base as well as the diagonal speckled card front from the kit. I cut the Lost Lagoon card base in half at the score line and then cut it into 3 strips. Cut 2 of them at 1 3/8″ that leaves the last one about 1.5″ and cut each one to 5.25″ tall. Adhere these strips to a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock measuring 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches. Then adhere this to a thick white cardbase. Create a layer using a border die – finished size 3 x 5.25 inches. I shared a tip on my video of how to get a straight border using border dies. So check that tip out on the video. I used (retired) Sahara Sand as I do not have the new Basic Beige color yet. I think it coordinates pretty well. Stamp splatter on the top 3/4 of this layer using the splatter stamp in the kit using ink the same color as the cardstock. Cut, color, and cut out 4 large butterflies and one half butterfly. Cut 2 of the large butterflies with detail butterfly die from the Thanks & Beyond add on dies. Adhere these to the full butterflies. Bend the detail wings up for added dimension. Stamp the sentiment at the bottom. I used one from the kit in Basic Gray ink. Adhere butterflies then add this layer to the card using dimesionals.
The second card uses the diagonal speckled card front and the large butterfly from the kit. Cut Basic Gray cardstock with the 2nd largest die from the Scalloped Contour dies (retiring) or similar size die. Cut a piece of lost lagoon to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ and cut in half diagonally. I share a tip how to do this on my YouTube video. Emboss both pieces with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder (retiring). Trim the speckled diagonal piece to 4 1/8″ wide. Adhere the speckled piece and Lost Lagoon piece to a thick white cardbase. Add tear & tape or tape runner adhesive in the gap between the two pieces and cover with ribbon. Trim a piece of white cardstock for the sentiment to 2 5/8 x 1 1/8 inches. Stamp the sentiment in Basic Gray ink and adhere to the scallop die cut. Add the large butterfly from the kit to the top of the scallop die using adhesive only on the body (curl the wings if desired before adhering). Add the scallop layer to the card using dimensionals. I added a Brass Brushed Butterfly to the sentiment corner.
