This month’s Paper Pumpkin was so fabulous, I wanted to make all nine cards exactly as they came in the kit! But, I used the punch-out words, “ho ho ho,” with the wonderful stamp set to complete today’s alternative card.
October “Ho Ho Ho” Alternative
I thought it would be fun to combine Paper Pumpkin with our early release collection, Fitting Florets. The oval was cut from Balmy Blue Cardstock, and the Fitting Florets Designer Paper, 5″ X 3 3/4″. Then I taped the Balmy Blue oval frame to the back of the DSP, which enabled me to lift the entire layer on Dimensionals.
The silhouette of Santa and his reindeer is one of the stamps in the Paper Pumpkin Kit. It was stamped in Night Of Navy Ink on Balmy Blue Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. I used the Stamparatus for placement, and stamping several times for the extra dark silhouette. Don’t you love Santa and his reindeer?
Next, I glued the Balmy Blue layer to a Night Of Navy card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
After gluing “ho ho ho” in place, I attached five, For Everything Fancy Sequins, to the sky.
Here are the Paper Pumpkin cards in the kit:
