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.

Flirty Flowers

 Flirty Flowers


I had so much fun playing around with the beautiful "Flower and Field Designer Series Paper"! The best part is you can earn it for FREE during Sale-A-Bration!! 


I also used another Sale-A-Bration product on this card: "A Touch Of Ink Stamp Set". I simply stamped the flower outline 3 times across the Blushing Bride C/S panel. It's a simple card and very easy to put together.

I made this card for this weeks sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. Check them out!

Directions:

Cut a Poppy Parade C/S base at 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2". This card opens on the right side.

Cut a Basic Black C/S panel at 4" x 3 1/2" and the Flower And Field Designer Series Paper at 3 7/8" x 3 3/8" and attach to the Basic Black panel. Attach to card base.

Cut a piece of Basic Black C/S to 4 3/4" x 2 3/8" and a piece of Blushing Bride C/S to 2 1/4" x 4 5/8". Stamp flowers 3X using Flirty Flamingo Ink onto the Blushing Bride C/S panel. Attach to the Basic Black C/S panel. Emboss using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. Attach to card base using Dimensionals.

Add a small double Whisper White Bakers Twine bow to the card and 3 Rhinestones.

Stamp sentiment using Memento Black Ink.

I hope you get a chance to make some cards today! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!! Stay Safe.
