Sweet Sunflowers - Unboxing The August 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit

Hi friends!

Welcome to my unboxing of the August 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit, Sweet Sunflowers. It's a beautiful kit filled with amazing watercolor imagery, bright florals and super cute sunflowers. And then there are the stinking cute bees! I believe it's the best Paper Pumpkin kit to date.

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?

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.
