Paper Pumpkin March 2020 | Alternative Card 1
Hello Everyone! Hope all is well! Pretty scary stuff out there!
I was going to post an alternate card last night but my blog wasn’t coming up for some strange reason. A quick chat with Support and they fixed me up!
Gosh guys, I really appreciate all the wonderful comments that was left on my Youtube Channel. Well alright then, I guess I will redeem the PP subscription to start in April. Just bear with me if I don’t post consistantly! I’m thrilled that you enjoy my card projects! Thank you!
Well onto the card, it features the March 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit called No Matter the Weather. Every March, Paper Pumpkin includes an extra ‘large’ stamp set and this year, they did not disappoint! For my alternative card, I used the front door stamp from the bonus stamp set, so its not a super alternative creation but close enough and I’m hoping I will have time to complete the others that I already have lined up.
If you are interested in checking out what’s in the box, I have linked the unboxing video below.
On todays card, I used SU Watercolor pencils and stamped the image with Momento Black ink on Whisper White cardstock. I find colouring with pencil crayons very relaxing and right about now, I need to relax. This card took just over an hour to complete in case you were interested.
To create the bold look, don’t be shy to press a little harder when layering each shade of color. Create shadows and leave highlights to give the image more interest.
Check out the video if you are interested in seeing how I created this card.
and here is the video for the unboxing!
Thanks for stopping by! Stay Safe!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Kathie…love your card idea! Can’t wait to see your other alternatives….I love this kit. My vote is for you to keep getting paper pumpkin kits & showing us your ideas! Anyway the kits have been really good so you will have fun…even if you don’t join back up on paper pumpkin. If you are worried about being sick — take lots of vitamin c it’s great for lots of things including viruses.
I meant to say…even if you don’t join back with Stampin up.
So glad to know that you are ok and back with us!
Missed your creative talents !
Keep up the Paper Pumpkin for sure. You have a wonderful artist’s eye for thinking outside the box. I find that stamping is relaxing, as you said, and is a great way to get away from life for awhile. It’s great therapy. You can sign up month to month if you’re worried about commiting for a long period of time.I do that and put myself on hold for a month if I get behind.
I am a hobby demo and just saw your video for the first time. I love your creativity. I am excited to see some of your past work on kits.
I follow Sara Douglas CEO of SU. This Salabration they have record breaking amount of demos. Utah does not have a Stay at Home order but most companies are taking extra precautions. SU is running 2 shifts to space out their employees and keep everyone safe with sanitizing in between. So it just might take a day or 2 longer to get orders. I could be wrong but I don’t see Paper Pumpkin not fulfilling the year subscription. I think you are good to redeem and agree they are getting better.
May’s kit is suppose to reveal the new In Colors. You will get one of the color in the ink spot.
