April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives #16-18

May 2, 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 #16 This is a simple card just showing the beauty of the alcohol ink paper.  I used Beautiful Butterfly for my main focus with the circles from Spotlight on Nature dies in Highland Heather and Basic White.  Added Purple Shimmer Gems and stamped the greeting from Darling Dinos at the bottom.



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


Card #17 This Z fold card has an added layer across the bottom. By cutting the card at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scoring at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4 you have created the Z fold card, now do the same thing again except the card is time your measurements are 1 1/2 x 8 1/2, same score lines just turn it over so the 4 1/4" section is adhered to the front and the 2 1/8" panel is adhered to the inside of the card. Emboss the front Basic White panel with Forever Plaid Embossing Folder, add a few layers of Fresh Freesia and the flowers from the Paper Pumpkin Kit.


Full instructions are below in the Free Project Sheet.


Card # 18 This is a fun book fold card showing the beauty of the card panels that were in the Paper Pumpkin Kit.  The greeting I used as well as the beautiful gold Hugs was also in the kit.  The butterflies just added to the beauty of the whole card.

Kintsugi Inspirations

By Debbie Chronister • June 11, 2025
Today I wanted to show you how you can used this fun stamp & die set and not use the Designer Series Paper. I love the coordinating Designer Series Paper but I think there are about a million posts on the interned showing how to use the DSP so I wanted to reach outside the box and use something else. I selected the wood grain DSP from Beautiful Gallery and I love the way it came out. Be sure to download the free Project Sheet below

Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape

By Debbie Chronister • May 21, 2025
This sweet card uses the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape with the die to cut the flowers. I attached the tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut it using the coordinating die. This made for a bunch of beautiful flowers to attach to the front and inside of the card. The greeting is from Year of Flowers. I added the beautiful little Iridescent Pearls to the centers of the flowers . The background is embossed with Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder. You will find all these products listed below along with Free Project Sheet.
