April 2024 – Paper Pumpkin – Delicate Wings ( and alternative cards)

Leave a comment April 17, 2024 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This month’s Paper Pumpkin – Delicate Wings is a gorgeous butterfly kit. In the video below I created the 3 original design cards as well as an alternative. Scroll even further down and you will find two more alternative cards that I created using extra bits from the Paper Pumpkin kit and the Thanks and Beyond Dies that are this quarter’s add-on pack.

When I created my original three cards, I modified the designs slightly so I could get the most out of the gorgeous card bases. I also used a birthday sentiment for one of the cards since I hopefully don’t need to many sympathy style cards in the near future. I absolutely LOVE how these cards look with the new Basic Beige card bases.

Here are my alternate cards!

The last alternative ws created using the add-on dies that will actually coordinate not just with this Paper Pumpkin kit, but the May and June kits as well! Paper Pumpkin prices are going up May 1 – but you can get the current price by grabbing a subscription now. See all the options in my shop.
