Paper Pumpkin November 2016 Alternate

1 Reply

Here’s the first Paper Pumpkin November 2016 Alternate, using just two of the die cuts – so that’s my next challenge I think, make a card using the third. My sister is away on vacation and although she photographed her planned cards, she didn’t upload them. Neither does she have any supplies with her so she’s revisiting some of her old cards. Her post yesterday reminded me of the fun you can have with sponges and water so it inspired me to make a dramatic background for my die cuts.

I started with some blushing bride and sponged that over the middle of the card. Next up was marina mist and then night of navy. Once I was happy with the colours, I lightly spritzed the card and then put it under a wooden stamp set to dry flat. I trimmed the front die cut so that the slope went to the ground because I’m making a full sized card whereas the kit ones are a bit smaller. Next I glued down one of the die cuts and then popped the other up with dimensionals. After putting this onto a night of navy card base, I thought I was done. But overnight, I decided that I needed a star. This one is cut from silver foil using the Starlight Thinlits dies.

Paper Pumpkin November 2016

Leave a reply

My Paper Pumpkin was delivered on Saturday and, unusually for me, I’ve made up a card to the instructions. Well almost – I left off the twine, it seemed to be overkill. Next I’m going to play with alternatives. And I’m going to order the refill kit that is available starting today. It’s easy to put together, just pop out the die cuts and layer them with the included dimensionals. I attached the vellum under the sequins so that the glue wouldn’t show. Here’s the official youtube video.

And here’s my finished card. Adorable yes? If you’re a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can purchase past kits and refills. Although only the refill is available for this month’s kit, you could easily substitute other stamp sets for the snow and sentiment.

There’s less than a week to sign up for this month’s Paper Pumpkin and this month, they have released a picture of the outside of the box promising that if you like the outside, you’ll LOVE the inside.

Well I definitely like the outside! I love the colour of the box too. And the little Christmas trees. I can’t wait. 🙂

I also can’t wait for my stitched dies which have shipped and will be delivered on Tuesday. Tomorrow I’m off to the Onstage Local, my first event where I’ll get to see the new catalogue and who knows what else!

In case you don’t know what Paper Pumpkin is about, here are the details:

 

  • Each month you receive a unique, surprise kit with a project. It’s colour-coordinated and everything is pre-cut
  • Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, accessories and instructions.
  • Each kit gives you about 30 minutes of fun
  • Your Paper Pumpkin ships around the 15th of the month.
  • You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month’s kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month.
  • A Paper Pumpkin subscription is just $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!) There’s no commitment, you can cancel or put your subscription on hold at any time. You can also prepay 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at a time (great gift idea) and save money with the latter 2 options.

Paper Pumpkin October 2016 Alternate 4

I hope that your weekend is going well. Here’s my Paper Pumpkin October 2016 Alternate 4. This time I wanted to at least make the shaker card that is in the kit, but I couldn’t resist making a couple of tweaks. I felt that the card needed more of the old olive than just the twine and a hint in the sequins, so I added some old olive cardstock.

I followed the instructions in the kit apart from the added piece of old olive and once I’d added my sequins and put the shaker card piece on top, I added the thanks from the Greetings thinlits set which I’ve just realised is actually retired. However, if you don’t have this one, we have so many other words that would work – grateful from the Seasonal Frame thinlits dies which is currently at 50% off on the clearance rack would be perfect.

Here’s another shot with the card leaned over a little so that more of the sequins are obvious:

Paper Pumpkin October 2016 Alternate 3

I wanted to create another Paper Pumpkin October 2016 Alternate today and after a long overdue pedicure, I started playing.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Paper Pumpkin October 2016 Alternate - Season of Gratitude

I used the crackle background stamp to create a tone on tone background for my card – it’s so saffron ink. I then went looking for a contrasting colour, preferably one that I had in ribbon and discovered that the delightful dijon from the Ribbon 3/8″ Trio pack was perfect. So that set my colour scheme! I stamped the greeting from the paper pumpkin set in delightful dijon on very vanilla and cut it out using the layering oval framelits. I also cut out a mat using the same framelits in delightful dijon. The construction of the card was then pretty simple – dimensionals under the sentiment and the piece of ribbon and tombow everywhere else.
