Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations monthly Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop. We are demonstrators from around the world bringing you alternative creative ideas to use with your paper pumpkin kit to create other cards and more.
Today I will share the kit cards as they were designed to be created, and then I will show you my alternative ideas you can re-create with this month’s kit.
I’m thrilled that this suite complements the Perennial Lavender Suite featured on pages 22-25 of the 2024 mini catalog. You can go HERE to see the products.
I meticulously followed the instructions in the kit to craft these exquisite cards and tags. The results are truly stunning just the way they are!
I made use of every item in the set for these alternative options. The only items remaining were a few of the sentiment tags.
The crafting process for these cards was executed with precision and confidence. For the first card, I expertly cut down two cards to create the layers, delicately stamped the words with the ink spot, and added a few flower stems and a butterfly. The second card, a beautifully designed tag, showcases my skillful stamping of flowers onto the white tag, followed by the precise adherence of the pre-cut tag over it, along with the addition of butterflies and a sentiment. Lastly, for the third card, I skillfully layered the one layer over a card front, seamlessly added the butterflies, and concluded with a confident placement of the sentiment.
The butterfly was delicately colored with an ink spot and carefully placed on the pre-cut tag. A banner was added across the bottom at a slight angle, with the word “love” adhered to it. For the next card, a leftover piece of cardstock was utilized and adhered to the left side. The pre-cut tag was then added, followed by greenery and flowers, along with the banner and sentiment. Lastly, a small butterfly was added to beautifully complete the card.
For my final card, I transformed it into a gatefold design and crafted a belly band using leftover cardstock from a previous project. I adorned the belly band with a pre-cut square featuring a stamped image, along with some greenery and an inked butterfly. As for the interior, I replicated the design from the card at the top of the page, but I turned it sideways and utilized the “Happy Birthday” stamp from Go-Greetings on the sentiment label.
Here are three additional alternatives from Stampin’ Up! Along with them, you can download the recipes to easily recreate these designs.
I have one more to share and I’m excited to reveal it on Sunday for the Share It Sunday blog hop. Until then, have a wonderful day! Now, let’s move on to the next demonstrator to see their alterations to this month’s kit.
