Change is Beautiful Paper Pumpkin alternatives; plus discounted past kits while supplies last!
April's Paper Pumpkin kit is filled with butterflies, scenes & fun fold cards. Each month I enjoy creating alternative designs with the contents in the kits to share with my subscribers each month.
I couldn't wait to play with this kit! Here's a pretty card I made just an hour after receiving my box:
I cut the front of a card base to fit on the front of a Crushed Curry card base and used other elements in the kit (butterfly, flower, banner & gems) to create this scene. I love changing up the cards; the kits are great as is but the challenge of creating something new is fun!
This next card uses the other half of the original card base. The flower layer and the polka dot layer behind it are from the original card. I did trim them just a bit to fit on a White layer.
Heads up on May's Paper Pumpkin kit – it will feature each of our 5 new In Colors AND they are adding Golden Vouchers worth $25 USD to some of the boxes. The winners will find their Golden Voucher in their May 2022 Paper Pumpkin box.
Exciting news!! They just announced that they are discounting some previous Paper Pumpkin refill kits at 50% off! Below you'll see the kits and others available to current subscribers. Click on a photo below or click here to see all of the available kits.
I chose to use just one ink color of Evening Evergreen. I made this card in the video below; or click here to see it.
Tips on creating the trees:
Starting at the bottom with the 3 flower image (turned point side up) stamp in full strength Evening Evergreen ink making sure you stamp some images higher and some lower. Ink every time filling in the very bottom fully.
Now ink the same image and stamp off once before stamping slightly higher than the first 'trees'.
Now ink the image again and stamp off twice before stamping even higher making sure you alter the height now & then.
Wallah; you've created a forest of trees!
Did you know that Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent are a perfect color combination? Stamping off once or twice can give you almost an exact Soft Succulent color tone.
I have to say that I think it's gorgeous! The Split Card Textures dies are an easy & unique addition to your card projects. There are two dies in this set; you can see them here.

My colors are Starry Sky, Old Olive and White. I cut two sets of Wisteria with the Wisteria Dies and trimmed the smaller one a bit shorter. Then I sponged them with Starry Sky ink on the edges. I adhered them together with bits of Stampin' Dimensionals for lift.
I stamped the greeting in Old Olive directly on the White CS and the leaves are stamped & die-cut.
My colors include Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party and a little Old Olive with White. This card was pretty instinctive; hanging wisteria is the first thing that comes to mind. There are a few tricks I used to alter the leaves die-cuts though. I trimmed off a few extra pieces to fit the stamped images better. You can see what I did in the video below.
This bundle is super versatile! I made two more cards in the video plus shared a bunch of swap card ideas as well. You might be inspired to purchase it once you see them all!
