October Pumpkin Alternate Cards, #3 thru #6


Hello!
 Today I'm sharing four more alternate cards using the October Paper Pumpkin kit "Peaceful Christmas". I have a larger-than-A2, two Mini Slimline cards and a Pop Up card using the Circle Charm Pop Up dies by Karen Burniston. Everything that is available is linked below for you!  I have a walkthrough of these cards on YouTube


These cards are definitely better to see in a video (or in person) because photos just don't capture the sparkle and shine.

First up the larger card, with a silver foiled background panel and large iridescent snowflake.


Inside I used one of these beautiful large sentiment stamps from Crafters Companion. ❤️


Since the card above used the front of one of the printed tree card bases, I used the back of the card for the one below. I loved the print on these card bases, and knew I would be cutting them in half to get 10 card fronts instead of the five in the kit with the trees/foiled snowflakes on the back side of those card bases. The silver foiled matting layer on this one is SO pretty.

I also added the dies from the Peaceful Cabin dies, and as I said in the video - I used blending brushes and grey ink to add colour to the back layer so the openings on the front layer would show up better. The front layer also got a blast with Shimmer Spray.


Inside, I used the final remaining strip from that printed card base and a stamped sentiment.


Since I wouldn't be using one of the envelopes for the card I cut apart on the two cards above, I cut one apart to make the next two cards. The silver foiled trees from the envelope front take centre stage on this Mini Slimline card. 


The stamps that were included in the October Paper Pumpkin kit are so pretty!


Finally, I made a Pop Up card using the Circle Charm Pop Up die set. Another one of my favourite and most used dies by KB! 


Here is what it looks like from the top - you can see how the snowflake on the card front pivots to the inside as the card is opened.


More foiled card stock inside to continue the sparkle and shine. The foiled snowflake Peel Off stickers added another touch of shine to these cards.
