Paper Pumpkin Alternative
Pining For Plaid (October 2017)
This month’s kit sample page….
Here’s what the kit contained (I love the plaid lined envelopes!)
The anticipation for this kit was really exciting to be a part
of. Stampin’ Up! hinted that the design
would be plaid related and that this kit would coordinate with next month’s kit
(cannot wait to see that one too!!).
I love Shaker Cards and this kit made some really cute
ones. The original designs are wonderful
and I was tempted to just do them exactly as Stampin’ Up! suggested, however, I
wanted to give you some more ideas. I
hope you like them!
Alternative #1
I added the sweet sweater covered deer from the FREE Hostess
Bonus stamp set, Merry Patterns to this fun card. I also used the circle that was punched out
of the ‘hole’ so it would show the bottom of the little gold cap on the
ornament design. I sponged it to add some color and added the pine twigs to look like brush around the deer.
Alternative #2
I wanted to see more of the plaid, so I cut one of the card
bases to 3.75” by 5”, matted with Basic Black card stock (cs) and added some
Shimmer Ribbon before adhering it to a card base of Old Olive cs. Then I matted the pre-printed tree design
onto more Basic Black cs before adding it over the that. The sentiment was punched out with the Every
Day Label Punch. To add the matting on
both sides I simply punched out another label from Basic Black cs again, cut it
in half and added it to each end before adhering with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For a little bling, I include a few Rhinestone Basics to ribbon and over the little pre-printed 'star' images. This is the only card that is not a shaker
card.
Alternatives #3
I had a half of the card base left from the previous design so I
decided to trim it to 4” x 5.25” and adhere to Basic Black cs base. I kept it simple by adhering a simple strip
of Black Shimmer Ribbon to the front.
Alternative #4
Similar to #3, I added just a bit of the same ribbon using Fast
Fuse to hold the shape. I topped the
ribbon with a sequin from the kit and small Rhinestone Basic in the center.
Alternatives #5 and #6
These two are the same design, just different ribbons. They are not too different from the original SU
design, I changed the sentiment and it’s location.
I hope you enjoyed my alternative ideas this month. Be sure to subscribe to my blog so you don’t
miss next month – Which Stampin’ Up! has informed us will also be Christmas
themed and it will coordinate with this kit.
