April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives #10-12

April 30, 2025

My favorite part of my job is creating. It doesn't always come easy but this month's Paper Pumpkin kit contained beautiful Alcohol Ink papers. The papers were so beautiful and the kit included nine card bases which had the design on the front and back of the card. When cutting them apart you were able to create 18 card fronts. I started designing by cutting them apart and then went from there. Throughout the week I will post 3 cards each day for seven days that were all made with April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Inked Occasions

Card #10 This is a Z fold card which is easily created by just giving an additional score line. This card shows the beauty of one of the more intense colors in the kit. The flowers came from the kit. Here I used Scalloped Contour Dies and cut them diagonally to create the back layer of the scalloped rectangle. The greeting tag was from the Beautiful Butterflies Dies. The white card base keeps it clean and the black helps bring out the beautiful colors

You will find the measurements and products used in the Free Project Sheet below

Card #11 uses a lot of Berry Burst. If you know me you know this is not one of the colors I use often, but it coordinated beautifully with the Paper Pumpkin Kit. I used Stitched Circles (retired), Stylish Frames and Starstruck Embossing Folder to bring out the colors in this piece of the card. I framed it with Gold Foil and cut the flowers from the Paper Pumpkin Kit. This greeting came from Expressions of Friendship, its one of my all time favorites for greetings.

Card # 12 When I look at this card it makes me feel good. Have you ever created a card that just blesses your heart, this is one of those. I love the color balance in this. I started with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder, cut the shapes from Linked Together, one in Pool Party and one from the card panel in Paper Pumpkin, The flowers were cut from the Impressions Abloom Dies. The greeting is from Unbounded Love. You will find all the instructions and products in the Free Project Sheet below.
