Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop - August 2023

  • Wednesday, 30 August 2023




Welcome to our August 2023 Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop.  We are sharing alternative designs for the "Meaningful Flowers" kit.   This kit is so pretty with the lovely laser cut card bases and beautiful coordinating envelopes.  This month there is a bonus stamp set included!

You can check out the video I did live where I showed how to make the beautiful cards in the kit.  Check them out!  Wouldn't you love to get one of these in the mail?



Now, check out the alternative project I created.  It was so easy using one of the beautiful card fronts that were included in the kit.  I cut it down slightly and layered it on Flirty Flamingo and Pretty Peacock cardstock.  


Instructions

  1. Cut Pretty Peacock cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".  Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
  2. Cut Flirty Flamingo cardstock 4" x 4"
  3. Cut card front from kit 3 7/8" x 3 7/8"
  4. Adhere to Flirty Flamingo cardstock
  5. Adhere to card base 
  6. Cut Basic White cardstock 1/2" x 3 1/2"
  7. Stamp sentiment on Basic White cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink
  8. Cut flag ends on each end
  9. Wrap Linen Thread around fingers and pinch in the middle
  10. Adhere to card base
  11. Adhere sentiment over thread using Dimensionals
  12. Adhere 3 embellishments
  13. Cut Basic White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
  14. Stamp sentiment in middle using Pretty Peacock ink
  15. Adhere to the inside of the card.
