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.  
Other Details: 
  • I stamped the butterfly in the kit onto the Granny Apple Green layer with Versamark ink for a soft background. 
  • The caterpillar is from the kit.  
  • The butterflies are stamped on White card stock using Black Memento ink and colored in with Blends markers. 
  • The greeting is stamped on an Oval die-cut. 
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.

  • Striking and fun Black Magic technique with video!

    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s the Black Magic technique!

    Save

    My colors include Peaceful Pine, Old Olive (ink only), Golden Glow and White. It features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here.

    Save

    What is the Black Magic technique? It’s where you start with a light neutral piece of card stock and add color with sponges or markers. Then stamp images in Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. The magic happens when you cover it completely with a water based ink (here I used Secret Sea). Then wipe off the ink that does not ‘stick’ to the heat embossed areas. True magic!

    Watch my video tutorial further below to see this technique in action.

    Save

    On this card I used mostly the stamp images; only the greeting die-cut is from the dies. I added a few In Color butterfly gems and the pretty Golden Glow ribbon too.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download it or to print it.

    I made one with Golden Glow as the card base and the other as Peaceful Pine as the card base.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another.

  • Pretty Fern & Flora card; with free project sheet & video tutorial

    There’s something about crisp white on a card. It gives a feeling of elegance to your projects.

    Save

    This card features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. The designer paper is called Moonlit Flora and the embossing folder is called Fern & Flora and can be seen here. Unfortunately the Designer paper AND the embossing folder are out of stock right now. Very popular products!

    I took a little creative license and added White fern die-cuts here. I love the way they show up against the Moonlit Flora designer paper strip.

    The colors include Peaceful Pine, with White and the new Golden Glow in color.

    Save

    Which do you like better? All green and White on the upper right, or the pop of the additional Golden Glow?

    The pretty Moonlit Flora designer paper offers multiple patterns: See it here. Be sure to add your name to the product so you get an email when it’s back in stock.
