AUGUST: Farmhouse Florals

~*~*~*~*~*~

  Here are the alternatives I came up with this month.  Hope you like them.

My first alternative simply uses elements of the kit.  I folded back 2 1/8" of the front of the plan card base for form a "Z" fold card.  Then I stamped the blue pattern  repeating along the top and bottom of the folded back section and inside of card.  Then I used the window element to finish the front of the card.  

I also fussy cut the Teapot image from one of the other layers and popped it up on the front of the card to give it a little more dimension.  Then added my sentiment.

My second alternative is another simple fun-fold - an easel card.  For this card I used my knife attachment for the Take Your Pick tool, and cut around the top part of the typewriter and flowers.  Then folded at the top of the dark blue portion of the base.  To cover the cut out portion - I added a piece of Summer splash both on the front and inside.  I added some of the border stamp in Summer Splash and added a little popped up flower to hold the easel up as it stands.  I love the torn edge of the paper you can stamp your sentiment on and insert into the typewriter - super cute.

 And of course, I had to stamp the envelopes -

Then finally - using a plain part of one of the bases, I made this cute little 2 3/4" x 3" gift card.  I stamped the teacup and little flower border from the stamp sets. 

I die-cut a circle from Secret Sea CS, using the add-on dies that coordinate.  I love how it turned out - would be so cut to give with any tea related gift.

Circle of Seasons Dies Add-On #167277 —available to Paper Pumpkin subscribers, only while supplies last! Coordinates with the July, August and September 2025 kits.

I hope you've enjoyed these alternative ideas.  Now be sure to hop through the rest to get some more great inspiration.  Don't forget to leave a comment, as we'd love to hear what you think.
