April 2024 Paper Pumpkin Alternates

April 28, 2024

Delicate Wings

This is the first of the five Paper Pumpkin Alternates. Created with the help of the NEW Spotlight On Nature Dies to be released on May 1, 2024. This set contains 12 circle dies, each one with a different design around the edges. This is one set that you will see a lot of from me in the year to come.  The greeting is from the Paper Pumpkin kit and embossed in Gold. I added a little gold cord and Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems to finish off.

Be sure to add glue only to the right side of the circles and place them through the opening on the front when the card if folded up. The card base is Lost Lagoon.


Card #2

This card base is the beautiful Moody Mauve one of the 2023-25 In Colors. I have used Blackberry Bliss to show the contrast and shadowing.  The "thanks" was cut from "Thanks & Beyond" Dies that compliment the April - June Paper Pumpkins. These dies are still available to order. I used the butterflies on the inside of the card and created a pop up card.

Scoring and attaching the butterflies just adds a fun pop. On the front I once again used the Spotlight On Nature Dies.


Card #3

The NEW Basic Beige added to our color line adds a whole new dimension to card making. This is between Basic White and Very Vanilla but leans towards a lighter version of Sahara Sand. I am loving this color as it compliments every color in our collection.  Here I used the Woodgrain Embossing folder to add interest to the two panels but when this card is opened is creates a box.

Here the complimenting color is Lost Lagoon and I love the soft look.


Card #4

This card layout has quickly become a favorite of mine. You can change the look by adding and taking away layers. The card in Paper Pumpkin called out to me that I had to do this card. The butterfly with the Champagne behind it and then the embossing was perfect for the front of this card

It is so easy to assemble and just screams elegance


Card #5

Card #5 is simple. I figured by the time everyone got to this one they needed something simple. This is once again using the Basic Beige however, this time I have used Basic Gray to coordinate with it. Just a few strips of Champagne Foil to bring out the butterflies in the Basic Gray card front. Greeting stamped with Basic Gray keeps it simple.

I’m thrilled to share how I created a simple yet stunning sympathy card using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper and the Prairie Grass Stamp Set. The delicate patterns from the Designer Series Paper perfectly complemented the graceful prairie grass images, giving the card an elegant touch during such a heartfelt time. Personalizing it with heartfelt sentiments made it all the more special. If you’re looking to create something meaningful, this combination is sure to inspire!

Some days these blog posts go so smooth I think I can do them in my sleep, other days everything goes crazy! This was one of those days. It's finally done! This card was CASED from Rachel Tessman with the change of several things. Of course that is allowed in the stamping world. We take each other's ideas and change them to our own liking and republish them. There are so many ideas out there to share. This is another one of the cards that I did with my clubs this month. It looks complicated but it really isn't and comes out to be a fun card to give. Be sure to watch the video if you are making the card. I will give you some trips on how to make it come out beautiful and download the FREE Project Sheet Below.
