Sending Good Thoughts Paper Pumpkin Kit Card Alternatives

 Hi friends!

Welcome to the first of my Paper Pumpkin alternatives. What is a Paper Pumpkin kit? Paper Pumpkin is Stampin’ Up’s exclusive monthly craft subscription. It provides stampers with a creative adventure delivered straight to their door, with a focus on exploring and discovering new ways to enjoy papercrafting. 

Maybe your feeling overwhelmed by your craft supplies. Or maybe your feeling a lack of inspiration, proper supplies or crafty know-how. Feeling discouraged you from even starting a project? Paper Pumpkin kits are the solution! Each kit includes pre-cut pieces and are all-inclusive with stamps, ink, embellishments along with step-by-step color instructions. They are the easy button for card making and unlocking your creative potential!

Everything you need for your project is included in your monthly art box. All you have to do is open it up and get started. You’ll be able to make cards, treat bags, gift boxes and so much more with your monthly art box subscription.

I'll be sharing the cards I've made by going "off-road" with a kit. I hope these alternative cards inspire your creativity, too!

I'm starting with the July 2022 Sending Good Thoughts kit. 

I made 2 alternative cards this month. The first card sticks with the nautical theme of the kit with a ship inside of a bottle. I used a couple of different techniques on this card - masking, daubing ink, blender pen and a couple of others. Yes, I might have gone way off-road!!!

The second card is much simpler. My idea was a graduation-themed card. I added a pattern from the Rings of Love designer series paper (DSP) that is in the Sale-a-bration flyer. Please a minimum $50 through the end of August and qualify for a free item in the flyer - inlcuding the Rings of Love DSP pack.
