November Paper Pumpkin - Alternative Project #2

So my Paper Pumpkin class for the November 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 we used a Basic White envelope and a cardbase of Pool Party cardstock. Snowflakes and sentiments from the kit were stamped with Bermuda Bay ink. After stamping the snowflakes on the front of the card, we cut one of the snowmen down to fit on it - cutting the third piece of coal on him in half. After attaching we needed to trip a little on each side of the card. Then added a couple retired black gems to the coal pieces - you could color gems black and add them.

Next we adhered triangle of Pumpkin Pie to turn his green nose orange, and added a few of our in-color gems for sparkle.

Then we stamped the inside of the card and the envelope to finish it off - ready to write in and send!

September Paper Pumpkin - Alternative Project #2

So my Paper Pumpkin class for the September kit is over and I can continue to share what we did as our alternatives - here is the second project - we made a Joy Fold card -

Tips

For large card base (LCB) that will open to the left – you need a 4 ¼” x 8 1/4” piece of cardstock scored at 5 ½”, crease and put fold to the left. For small card base (SCB) that will open to the right you need a 3” x 8” piece of cardstock scored at 4”, crease and put fold to the right. Complete inside on LCB and front flap on LCB; as well as the inside on SCB and front flap on SCB with any layers and design you like in coordinating colors and DSP. Open LCB to the left and with the SCB folded and crease to the right adhere it to inside of the LCB centered. Open it and fold the left flap in, then the right flap over it.

Cardstock measurements:

Crumb Cake - 4 1/4"x 81/4" and 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"

Crushed Curry - 4" x 5 1/4" and 4" x 2 1/2"

Cajun Craze - 3 3/4" x 5"

DSP - 3 3/4" x 5", 3 3/4" x 2 1/4" and 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Basic White - 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and 1 1/2" x 2 1/2"

Using Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze Inks, sponge color onto the white side of four leaves from the kit. Stamp leaf veins with a coordinating color. Put card together as shown. Picture of inside is below.

Stamp Sentiments of your choice with Cajun Craze. Assemble the card as in pictures. Add a cluster of leaves and a single leaf with glue dots to the front of card as shown, and a linen thread bow with a dot of Tombow liquid glue That was it - finish inside and envelope as you like.
