Alternative Paper Pumpkin Cards

 Today I went rogue and used Sentiments from Reason to Celebrate.  166905 $20 in the new Spring mini catalog.  This stamp set is popular!  Currently unavailable with a re-stock date of 2/2.  Grab sentiments you have and get Creative!

I stamped Anniversary directly to the Flowered panel.  I used the small sentiment banner for Happy.  Popped up 2 of the flowers from the kit.

I used 2 of the Stamp punch outs on this card front.  Stamped Happy Birthday on the white blank.  Added the Blue Flowers.  

The same card front with Congratulations stamped directly to the paper.  I added the Rose cut outs and a small stamp for accent!  Use this card for a Wedding, Retirement or other happy occasions.

And finally a Graduation card.  I cut the leaves from the Rose cut out and added Daisies instead.  The Gold Grid background pulls out the Gold trim on the Sentiment blank and the Daisy centers.

I hope you can see how easy it is to make alternative cards with your Paper Pumpkin kits.  Follow Paper Pumpkin on Facebook to see more Alternatives made by others.

Special Delivery

 I have to admit, I was not sure about this January Pumpkin kit.  But once I opened the kit and made each card as pictured I loved the Vintage look.  The Poppy Parade ink spot added that punch of color to bring all the elements together.  

All of these cards could be used for Birthday, Get Well and other occasions!  

I will make some alternative cards for the Blog later this week.  Find and follow Paper Pumpkin on Facebook for alternatives, unboxing videos and endless inspiration!
 

After I use all the kit elements the stamp set is put in a clear envelope with the included stamp sheet.  This helps you not miss place a stamp!  Photopolymer stamps stain from Black or Red inks.  Do not despair as your stamps will not transfer this ink stain.

Each kit comes with an instruction sheet and finished cards to see the product. 

You must be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to purchase Past kits and refills.  Past kits usually update to my website on the 21st of the Month.  Refills are available for this kit for subscribers.  $13.50.  Refills do not include the stamp set and ink spot.  168631 is the item number.

Paper Pumpkin stamps

 Today I combined the January Paper Pumpkin kit stamps with the Valentine paper.  I will share the cards from the kit tomorrow.  I was finishing up Valentines and wanted to showcase this little Stamp set.  These stamp sets coordinate with all the regular Stampin’ Up products.  Past Paper Pumpkin kits and refills are available to Paper Pumpkin Subscribers while supplies last.

I did add one of the Floral Stamps from the kit on this card.  Flirty Flamingo card base.

On this card I had to add a Bear!  This could be an Anniversary card!  I leave the inside blank so you can write a message.
