Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop - February 2024

Wednesday, 28 February 2024

Welcome to our February 2024 Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop featuring the Sweet Springtime Kit. This kit is so pretty and is perfect for spring cards, Easter cards or baby cards! Also includes an adorable milk carton treat box! It was so fun to make!

The kit includes 2 cards and a treat box - 3 of each design in pretty colours of Peetal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Berry Burst, Early Espresso and Crumb Cake. The Ink Spot included is Early Espresso.

Check out these pretty projects that you can make in this kit.

Now check out my alternative card. I used one of the Petal Pink Gingham card bases. Isn't it sweet!

Instructions

Cut Petal Pink cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2". Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
Cut Petal Pink Gingham card base in half.
Cut the gingham side to 4" x 5 1/4"
Wrap Baker's Twine around gingham paper 3 times and tie a bow on the right side.
Spread the left threads of the twine out so it is fanned on the left side.
Adhere to card base
Cut the bunny image out using the largest circle Die from Everyday Detail Dies
Adhere to card base over the Twine using Dimensionals
Stamp sentiment on pink banner using Early Espresso ink
Adhere to top of the card base using Dimensionals
Adhere white embellishments.
Cut Basic White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
Cut 3/4" x 4" piece of original card base (the top part of the bunny image)
Stamp the daffodils 3 times along cardstock using Early Espresso ink
Adhere to the bottom of the Basic White cardstock
Adhere to the inside of the card.
