Create some really neat scenery with Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, Old Olive, Calypso Coral, and Bumblebee. I love the color combination in the March 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit! Not only did this kit have the usual card pieces, envelopes, stamp set, ink spot, and embellishments, but it also came with a set of four stencils and a sponge to make even more creative options. “Here’s to you” scenery alternatives using this kit!
Three Suggested Alternative Ideas
Each month the Paper Pumpkin kits always includes some alternate craft ideas with the instruction sheets. Here are my versions of the three suggestions for March. These alternatives use the stamp set, one envelope and one envelope liner. I added some 2020 – 2021 retired annual catalog items to help make and embellish two cards and small gift bag: Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder, Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo pack, Seaside Spray 2019 – 2021 In Color cardstock, 1-1/2″ Circle punch, 2-1/4″ Circle punch, Classic Label punch, and In Good Taste Elements.
Scenery Alternatives with Stencils
The next three alternate projects use the stencils from the kit. The four stencil images are clouds, stars, hills/mountains, and a sunburst. I chose two stamp sets that retired within the last two years, and the current Positive Thoughts stamp set. You could have these retired stamp sets in your stash, yet: Stargazing and In the Pines. The 1/4″ Metallic Ribbon and the Old World Paper 3D embossing folder are now retired. Sorry, I don’t remember where the silver star embellishments came from. I used Seaside Spray and Purple Posy 2019 – 2021 In Colors cardstock which are also retired this year.
I hope you liked the cards I created using the stencils, and these inspire your creative ideas! Thank you for your visit today!
