This month’s Paper Pumpkin, Sweet Sunflowers, is beautiful, and as promised, here are two more alternatives:

Sweet Sunflowers alternatives

Card #3 uses a Fresh Freesia card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.  See how it brings out the color in the card front? 

To make the card unique, I used the largest  Deckled Rectangles Die to cut the Paper Pumpkin card front. Then, I used the fourth largest Deckled Rectangles Die to cut the center from the card front. After gluing the larger cut to the card base, I raised the middle cut on Dimensionals.

Next, I stamped the sunflower in Crushed Curry Ink on a punched flower from the kit, and stamped the center in Mossy Meadow Ink. Then, I attached the flower with Dimensionals, along with the bees and vellum honeycomb from the kit.

“Thank you” is from the Sweet Sunflowers Stamp Set, stamped in Soft Suede Ink on a label from the kit, and attached with Dimensionals. 

Card #4 has a card base of Gorgeous Grape Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. I used the largest Scalloped Contours Die to cut another Paper Pumpkin card front.

This time I used an Amazing Thanks Die, cutting a “bubble” from the card front, and layered it with the word “thanks,” which I cut from a green card base in the Paper Pumpkin kit. After gluing the card front to the card base, I placed “thanks” in the hole, raising it on Dimensionals.

The Sweet Sunflowers Stamp Set, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Crushed Curry Ink, Soft Suede Ink, Honeycomb Sheets, sentiment labels, punch-outs (bees and flowers), 9 decorative envelopes, 9 card bases, and directions, are included in the kit. Everything not included in the kit is in my Product List below.

One more alternative idea will be on Tuesday. I saved my favorite for last!

I’m sharing my cards with TGIF, because it’s a rarity that Basic White Cardstock wasn’t used!
