October Paper Pumpkin - Alternative Project #3

So my Paper Pumpkin class for the October kit is over and I can continue to share what we did as our alternatives - here is the third project we did -

Tips

So for this card start with another green base from the kit (note: these bases could also be cut down to make two layers for the fronts of two cards to extend the kit).

You'll need that center piece that you cut out of the plaid layer in the last card. (see that sample HERE). In addition you'll need a layer of Smoky Slate cardstock cut to 3 1/8" x 4 1/4", the woodprint rectangle layer from kit, vellum trees from kit, silver NOEL from kit and three of the kit gems.  Also a piece of Gray Granite shimmer ribbon 3 3/4" and a bow tied with the same ribbon.

Layer the plaid piece onto the Gray rectangle and wrap the gray ribbon around securing on back with glue dots.  Using Seal just being the vellum trees that the gray woodprint layer will cover (see image), layer the trees over the ribbon, then add the gray woodprint and the Noel (I attached with Tombow glue).  Add the bow with a glue dot and a few scattered gems.  Finish inside of card as desired.

October Paper Pumpkin - Alternative Project #2

So my Paper Pumpkin class for the October kit is over and I can continue to share what we did as our alternatives - here is the second project -

Tips

So for this card start with a green base from the kit – then you'll need a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Real Red, one of the green plaid layers from the kit, and the other half of the card base from my 1st alternative, cut to 3 1/4" x 4 1/2".   You'll also need some red gems, a soft succulent blend and 6" of the silver mesh ribbon.

To start - color one of the trees with the blend.  Cut the center out of the plaid layer

using the largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.  

Keep the center for our next card.  Then adhere the colored tree layer to the plaid border and that to the red layer.  Tie a knot in the center of the ribbon and adhere around these layers; before adhering all to the base.  Stamp your sentiment on one of the labels and pop-up on dimensionals, then add several gems.  Finish inside of card as you like using stamps from the kit set.

October Paper Pumpkin - Alternative Project #1

So my Paper Pumpkin class for the October kit is over and I can now share what we did as our alternatives - here is the first project - 

Tips to duplicate - we took one card base and cut it to be able to make two beautiful cards - this really extends the kit.

Here is the base before it was cut - 

and the kit flyer that shows how they would look if you did not change it up - 

This kit was so beautiful as it came, that it was hard to improve on it - so all we did for this one was cut a tree base down into two sections - the one for this card was the right side and we cut it to 4" x 5 1/4" layered it on the a Real Red base (5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4") and completed as shown in the picture.  To make double the cards - you could just duplicate those instructions with the left section; but we chose to make that side a little different, so watch for that tomorrow.

Here is the inside -

Just cut a layer of Basic White 4" x 5 1/4" for the inside and stamped our sentiment and snowflakes - easy, peasy - and I love it!
