Alternative Paper Pumpkin Ideas

 Alternative Paper Pumpkin Ideas and a BONUS card!!

I had a lot of fun assembling Januarys and Decembers Paper Pumpkin Kits. I usually make one of the cards as directed then I add a few more products and put my own creative take on it.

I added some black ribbon loops behind the sentiment. This beautiful black sparkly ribbon came with the kit.

On this card I turned the layout to open at the bottom and I added a layer of Poppy Parade Card Stock behind the stamped panel. I cut the black scalloped trim in half and attached it behind the "Love" panel. 

Here I rotated the layout to portrait and added a Gold Foil layer behind the art panel. Then I cut the black scallop in half again and attached it behind the panel and added some Rhinestones.

I love this card!! I stamped some flowers and hearts using Poppy Parade Ink onto the card base corners. I then adhered the black scallops to the bottom of the art layer, tie the black ribbon around the panel, pop up the panel using Dimensionals, then I added Rhinestones to every scallop! So pretty!!

On this card I added a strip of Poppy Parade Card Stock behind the art panel. 

For this one I turned the card into a landscape position and added some Gold Thread behind the sentiment. 

 

 Here I moved the art panel to the left side, lining it up with the card base edge. I added a thin strip of Gold Foil to the right edge then added the black scallops. I also added a small Gold Foil strip to the bottom of the sentiment.  

These cards are from Decembers Paper Pumpkin Kit. 

I simply added some Gold Thread and a few Rhinestones that I coloured with my Stampin' Blends to match the card stock.

One this adorable racoon card I added a few Gold Foil Sprigs behind the little critter and a heart rhinestone.

Beaded Poinsettia

Beaded Poinsettia

I missed last weeks  Freshly Made Sketches  challenge so I made sure not to miss this weeks! I love this unique layout. Try it for yourself.

 

Look how vibrant the Poppy Parade Card Stock is!!!

I used the Curvy Christmas Stamp Set. It is being released on November 3! 

The card base is Poppy Parade Card Stock cut to 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2". The Whisper White panel is 4" x 5 1/4". I cut 2 triangles from the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper, one is larger than the other. I just played around with these pieces until I liked the sizing. Attach to card front using Multi-Purpose Glue. Stamp the sentiment using Poppy Parade Ink. Die cut 1 medium Poinsettia and 3 mini Poinsettias. Attach to the card front using Dimensionals and Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. Die cut 2 sprigs in Basic Black C/S using the Poinsettias Dies. Tuck and glue under the Poinsettias. Attach a Beaded pearl using a Glue Dot. Very simple card and soooo many possibilities!!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
