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.

I played with the new Botanical Layers bundle for last week's Facebook Live. This unique bundle includes a stamp set and a pack of 60 sheets of printed & plain vellum and can be seen here.
I sponged colors of Bermuda Bay, Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide onto one side of the vellum before adhering it to a layer of White CS. I added a die-cut from the Tropical Layer dies seen here (50% off right now!) and a greeting die-cut.
More ideas with the Botanical Layers & Lovely Layers vellum with video
Here are two more cards I made during last week's FB Live video. The Botanical Layers bundle includes both the stamp set and the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" X 5" vellum.
When I saw this piece of vellum with it's multi-hues vellum I knew I wanted to emulate a mountain scene.
I used a direct to paper technique to add ink to this vellum. This means you rub your ink pad directly onto the paper. Watch the video here to see how it's done.
I used Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green & Orchid Oasis. I stamped the flowers in Black Memento ink.
Tip: Vellum does not absorb ink. It sits on top so it's best to heat set it or let it dry for an hour or more.
For this next card I simply stamped a few of the images in the Botanical Layers stamp set onto the polka dot printed vellum. I used Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis inks.
As you can see there are very few layers here; the stamped scene is all you need.
See the Sweet Songbird bundle here. The bird & wing are stamped on a separate piece of White CS and punched out. They're popped up as well as the sign (done on Sahara Sand CS).
Measurements: • Tahitian Tide card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" • White front 5 1/4" X 4", inside is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for bird punches • Sahara Sand scrap for hanging sign
