Paper Pumpkin Alternate #2 'Under The Weather' Card


Today I'm sharing the second alternate card made using an older Paper Pumpkin Kit "No Matter The Weather". I spent some time back in the early Spring making cards with the kit and managed to get it all finished off!  Of course, I did my own thing and hardly followed the kit instructions/inspiration at all.

This was one of the few times I actually cut down one of the envelopes to use the liner as a patterned paper. It matched the elements perfectly and I didn't have another green that would. Considering the envelopes were note card rather than A2 size, I didn't mind cutting one down as much as I would if it were an A2 size. The kit came with tiny clear enamel raindrops and I added three of them to this card as you can (barely) see in the photo below.


Here is a look at the inside, with a sentiment block matted in sunny yellow paper, and stamped & fussy cut rubber boots. The boots are attached with one of Sam Calcotts paper springs so they have a little movement.

I'll be back next week with another alternate project with this kit!

Here is a link to Sam Calcotts video where she shows her paper springs.


Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.

February - 56 cards
