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.

The last of my 10 amazing card ideas for Paper Strips!
Today I'm sharing the last of the 10 cards I made on my Facebook Live video. If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well.
I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them. We're calling them 'Stripper Cards'!
I started out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of White CS. Starting at the bottom I added a strip and alternated colors and directions each time. I focused on keeping the tips at the same area and left the excess 'wide' end hang over the edge.
I had to leave enough space to stamp the greeting (You Are Amazing set seen here) so I stopped about 1 1/2" up. The last piece may need to be trimmed before you add that skinny little edge strip. A few Holiday rhinestones finish it off.
On my video (scroll down) I used Real Red with the Pool Party & Bermuda Bay. Which do you prefer?
I cut random lengths of 1/4" strips and adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Black card stock. The greeting is from the Sweet Ice Cream set stamped on a 1" X 4 3/4" strip of White CS. Add this and trim the ends off before you add it to the main Coastal Cabana card base.

After I had the White piece covered with strips I trimmed off the excess on the edges and added it to the White card base. Then I added the pretty dandelion White die-cuts (from the Dandy Wishes dies here). That stitched greeting tag is from the Hydrangea Dies seen here. Artistry Blooms adhesive-backed sequins finish it off as well as a twine bow.

Next is a card with a woven heart. I think it's pretty neat! And it looks difficult but it's just a few extra steps to die-cut the shape. *Watch the video below to catch my tips on paper weaving.
I share a good demo on this technique in the video below. The strips are 1/2" and the heart shape is die-cut with the retiring Stitched Be Mine dies seen here. There are 16 dies with lots of heart shapes & borders in many sizes.
The pretty textures are from the Little Details embossing folders seen here. It's just $3.20 right now; while supplies last!
Here's the video for all 10 of my paper strips projects!
