September 2024 – Paper Pumpkin – Autumn Abundance ( and alternative cards)

This month’s Paper Pumpkin – Autumn Abundance – creates 9 beautiful fall cards. In the video below I created the 3 original design cards as well as 3 alternative cards. Scroll down and you will find photos of the alternative cards that I created using extra bits from the Paper Pumpkin kit and the Every Celebration Dies that are this quarter’s add-on pack. You’ll also find a full list of supplies I used.

When I created my original three cards, I modified the designs slightly so I could get the most out of the fantastic card bases. These were quick and easy cards to create.

Here are my alternate cards! Including a 4th card that I created later in the day using the remaining piece of DSP, the snail stamp and the 2 leaves I had inked with the sponge dauber.

These cards were created using the add-on dies that actually coordinate not just with this Paper Pumpkin kit, but the July, August and Septmeber kits!

Here is a list of the extras that I used to make my alternative cards.
