Paper Pumpkin – December 2021 – Lots of Pun Alternative Cards

Leave a comment January 3, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I am BANANAS for the December 2021 Paper Pumpkin. The stamp set and sentiments that come with the kit are perfect for continuing to create fun, punny cards. Here are three more alternatives using the leftover bits from the kit and some extra cardstock.

The thin striped paper on this card was actually the leftover frame from the original striped pieces. To stamp the banana I used a sticky note to create a mask – allowing me to stamp and layer the bananas to create the bunch. I coloured the bananas with Soft Suede and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.

This egg-cellent card was created using some new 2022 SAB DSP – Sunshine and Rainbows. You can earn this DSP for FREE between Jan 4 – Feb 28, 2022. See below for all the details about Sale-a-bration.

This last card also uses the new 2022 SAB DSP – Sunshine and Rainbows to create a celebratory feeling.

Paper Pumpkin – October 2021 Peaceful Christmas

Leave a comment October 25, 2021 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This month’s Paper Pumpkin was FABULOUS! It coordinates with the Peaceful Place DSP and I can’t wait to recreate some of these cards using alternate DSP from the pack.

Here is a video of the original cards in the kit. Below you will find many alternative cards. Happy Stamping!

Here are some alternative cards. The first one is a quick card that allows you to get two for one. Simply recereate the snowy card from the kit – but cut your card base in half and trim it down to 3-7/8″ X 5-1/8″ and mount it on a black trim 4″ X 5-1/4″ , then attach it to a Thick Basic White card base 4-1/4″ X 5-1/2″.

The next alternative is similar. Just cutting the card base into even smaller bits. Which actually gives you this cute piece, plus a long strip you’ll see on another of my alternatives below. The background was embossed with the snowflakes from the Wintry 3D embossing folder set.

This card utilizes the gorgeous silver trees from the envelopes as an accent. Don’t be afraid to trim up your envelopes to get some fun Buffalo Check or even just the perfect green accent.

A bit of embossing, a little bit of snowflake stamping and some strategically placed mini glue dots to hold the trees in place. The Buffalo Check strip came from the inside of the fabulous envelopes.

This card uses a leftover strip of card base on a Wintry 3D embossed background. The Shaded Spruce cardstock is such a rich holiday colour!

I hope you have as much fun creating some alternative cards as I have. These are the key items I used to create my alternative cards, (not shown Thick Basic White, Basic Black and Shaded Spruce cardstock.

The refill kit is also now available. Don’t wait – this one is going to go quickly.

This month’s Paper Pumpkin is great for sending some warm thoughts to loved ones. The vellum and gold laser cut paper add a very beautiful touch to the cards. Here is the unboxing video of this set.

The stamp set that comes with the kit is beautiful and coordinates nicely with the Flower and Field DSP in the Sale-a-bration offering.

Here is a quick and simple alternative card I created using the Flower and Field DSP.

More Paper Pumpkin Alternatives – Oct 2020 Joy To The World

4 Comments October 25, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I have two more Paper pumpkin Alternatives for you today. The first one was inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #350. (#HSSSC350)

I added a Crumb Cake cardstock base and stamped Joy using Crumb cake ink all over the background. Then I layered a Cherry Cobbler cardstock piece that was the same size as the larger white embossed piece from the Paper Pumpkin kit ( which was the next layer). Finally I added some vellum cardstock sprigs, the wreath from the kit, the gold foil “Joy” from the kit and some Holiday Rhinestones.

Product List

120953 $12.00	119685 $12.00	147116 $10.25	101856 $13.50	148012 $24.00
150457 $8.25	137858 $28.00

My last alternative for today was a take on an alternative presented in the kit.

I used a piece of Just Jade cardstock. 8.5″ X 5.5″ ( scored at 4.25″) and then I embossed another layer of Just Jade cardstock (4″X 5.25″) using the Tasteful Textiles embossing folder. Next I stamped the wreath image using Just Jade (stamped off) and Cherry Cobbler berries ( stamped off) on a 3″X3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Then I stamped the sentiment using Early Espresso ink. I layered the wreath on a tilted piece of Soft Seafoam cardstock ( 3″X 3″). I attached those pieces to the card base using dimensionals. Finally I tied a bow using Braided Linen Trim and attached it to the wreath using a mini dimensional.

Product List

153079 $12.00	146988 $12.00	100730 $13.25	153115 $10.25	147083 $10.25
147114 $10.25	147808 $9.50	152718 $12.25	137858 $28.00

I hope you enjoyed these Paper Pumpkin alternatives.

If you missed out on the October kit – make sure to grab the November Jolly Gingerbread kit. You can order yours by clicking the image below. You have until Nov. 10, 2020 to get this kit!

It looks so fun and who doesn’t need gift card holders for this upcoming holiday season. The pieces can also be used to create gift tags or as card candy.

Happy Stampin!

OCTOBER 2020 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives – #FMS458

1 Comment October 24, 2020 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit – October 2020 Joy to the World is absolutely gorgeous! I love the warm Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Just Jade and Gold combo. Today I am actually going to share with you some alternative cards that I created using the elements from the kit.

My first alternative project was actually inspired by a Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

I used one of the card bases and the inside of the fancy envelopes to cut strips 3/4″ X 2.5″. I used Early Espresso cardstock to mount it all on and Early Espresso ink to stamp the sentiment. The beautiful rose was inked using Cherry Cobbler and Just Jade markers and then coloured in using the same colours in Stampin’ Blends.

Product List

140272 $11.25	119686 $12.00	137858 $28.00	147114 $10.25	144598 $12.00
153107 $12.00	147155 $40.00	153125 $20.00	152155 $11.00	110755 $5.50
104430 $5.50

The second card I created was a take on one of the sample alternatives shown in the kit. Again I used part of the inside of the envelope for the gorgeous red DSP. As an extra I added red holiday rhinestones to the wreath.

As I was pulling out the gold foil words they seemed a bit burnished. To shine them up again I used my simply shammy to clean them. It worked beautifully.
