A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Here's to You

Welcome to our MARCH 2021 #APaperPumpkinThing Blog Hop. Each month we share alternate projects using Stampin' Up!'s Paper Pumpkin Kit! We usually hop on the last Thursday of the month, but mail seems to be universally slower these days, so we waited an extra week to allow more folks to get their kits and create with them.

 

My alternate project this month is just two cards, made pretty much with supplies just from the kit. I did use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue, a Bone Folder and the Paper Trimmer, which are basic supplies.

Our Paper Pumpkin kit for March was called Here's to You. It came with supplies to create 8 full-sized cards, 4 each of 2 different designs. Below is a picture of how the projects would look if you make them according to the kit directions.

My alternate cards are very simple variations, focusing more on the geometric patterns to keep things a little more masculine. For the first card, I popped out some of the embellishment strips and then cut the negative space away to use as an overlay. I cut the background piece to about the same size and then offset them. I used one of the embellishment strips to sort of pop up the greeting, and I stamped the verse under the greeting in a space left open by the overlay.

The second card just uses the envelope liner pattern for the background. Again, I used one of the embellishment strips from the kit under the greeting. I also cut apart the little flying birds stamp so I could use just the one that looks like a V. If you stamp it three times sort of in a circular pattern, with the point of the V at the center each time, I think it looks like a little sparkle.
