Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop! A group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators have gathered together to provide alternate project ideas featuring the Paper Pumpkin kits. Continue reading to see the projects I made for the hop, find links to the blogs of the other blogs, and learn more about the next kit (August 10th is the last day to subscribe – details at the end of this post).
Today’s hop features the August 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Meaningful Flowers. This kit came with materials to make 8 cards, 4 each of 2 designs. I used elements from this kit to make a couple of simpler cards.
Alternate Project Ideas
Card 1
To make this first card, I adhered the large lily pad layer to an Orchid Oasis card base. Next, I added the lotus piece to the lower part of the card using Dimensionals.
Then, I stamped the sentiment on a 1/2″ strip of White cardstock and trimmed the ends at an angle. I added some Linen Thread under the right side of the sentiment piece before adding it over the lotus piece. I also added 5 of the clear embellishments to the front.
For the inside, I stamped the lily pad image in the bottom corner of a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of White cardstock. Then, I added this piece to the inside.
Card 2
To make the second card, I trimmed the floral card base to 5-1/4″ x 4″ and added it to a Crushed Curry card base. Next, I punched out a circle from White cardstock using the 2-3/8″ Circle Punch. I stamped the sentiment on the lower left area of the circle.
Then, I trimmed off the lower leaves on the floral piece and adhered it to the right side of the stamped circle. I added this layered piece to the card using Dimensionals. I tied a length of Linen Thread into a bow and added to the stems of the floral piece. I also added a few clear embellishments (after coloring them with the Dark Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends).
For the inside, I stamped the floral image in the bottom corner of a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of White cardstock. Then, I added this piece to the inside.
