Hello! Today I'm sharing my February Paper Pumpkin Alternate Cards #6, 7 and 8! I really loved this pretty bouquet printed element and since the kit came with three of them I used them to create three alternate cards. The three coordinating envelopes have that lovely yellow polka dot liner coordinates well with one of the papers in the Flowers & Field paper package. As I mentioned in my first Paper Pumpkin video, I wouldn't have thought to pull in that patterned paper but since the kit came with a notice saying how well they worked together, I used it!
First up (Alternate Card #6) is an Easter card!
The butterflies were punched using an older Martha Stewart Punch and the Happy Easter is a die set by Karen Burniston ... the Easter Charms. I cut it twice, once from a dark green that matches the green in the bouquet leaves and once from white. They were adhered together offset a little so the green on shadows the white. Finally I added a twine bow - the green twine came in the Paper Pumpkin kit.
Paper Pumpkin Alternate Card #7 is one I can send out for Happy Mail!
I also used the negative portion of one of the punched butterflies to create a stencil to use on the envelopes, and used Taylored Expressions blending brushes to apply the colour to the envelope fronts and flap. This is a retired Stampin' Up Punch that I used on the first batch of cards.
The final bouquet was also given a spritz with Shimmer spray and was popped up with thin foam tape. I pulled out the sentiment from the June Paper Pumpkin kit "Box of Sunshine". I found an online listing for an unopened kit and purchased it but haven't used it yet. Those stamps though - they are going to be great!
All in all I made fourteen cards with this kit! I have another video sharing the remaining six cards late next week. If you would like to see my first five February Paper Pumpkin Alternates, you can find that HERE.
