5 May 2020 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Cards: A Kit In Color

The new 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog is just around the corner (it launches June 3), but Paper Pumpkin is giving us a sneak peek of the brand new In Colors in this month's Paper Pumpkin kit! A Kit In Color includes supplies to make 9 cards and features four of the five new In Colors: Magenta Madness, Bumble Bee, Just Jade, and Misty Moonlight.  See more In Colors projects.

I added a pack of 2020-2022 Assorted In Color Cardstock from my Demontrator Pre-order to make my alternative cards this month. Most of the colorful pieces came straight from the kit. I love how bright and cheerful these cards are! Which one is your favorite?

Watch the video replay of my Facebook Live for some tips in crafting and card and paper measurements for my May 2020 A Kit In Color alternative cards:

VIDEO: Bonanza Buddies Pop Through Accordion Card Tutorial

My favorite suite in the January-June Mini Catalog is Birthday Bonanza. I love the bright colors in the designer paper and the cute critters. I'm so disappointed that the entire suite is retiring in two weeks! That means there is only two weeks left to get the bundle and designer paper before it's gone! 

I designed this Pop-Through Accordion Card for my April Stamp of the Month Club. I try to feature a different fun fold each month. The focal point on this card pops through the window in the front of the card and is attached to an accordion pop-up inside.

Here is the front of the card when it's closed. (Tip: Make sure to stamp the card front before you assemble it and add the inside accordion piece!)

It's not as hard as it looks! Watch this quick video for tips on how to assemble this card:

Measurements:

• 8 ½” x 5 ½” Mango Melody cardstock
• 5” x 6” Whisper White cardstock, scored at 2” and 4”
• 2 ¼” x 2 ¼” Whisper White cardstock
• 3” x 3” Terracotta Tile cardstock
• 2 ¾” x 4 ¼” Whisper White cardstock (to stamp and die cut)
• (2) ½” x 2” Whisper White cardstock, scored at 1”

This is one of three card designs in my April Stamp of the Month Club card kit. There is no commitment when you join my Stamp of the Month Club! I'll add you to my club mailing list and you'll receive one email each month revealing the stamp set and card designs. You can choose when you want to participate by simply replying to that email.

Each month, I feature a different stamp set. Those who participate in March will receive the Timeless Tropical stamp set (or substitute a different set), pre-cut materials to make 6 cards (2 each of 3 designs), printed instructions with a color photo of each card, and Priority Mail shipping.

Abstract Impression Gate Fold Shutter Card + VIDEO

I'm counting down the end of the Annual Catalog by featuring some of my Last Chance Favorites! I never post this fun card after I first made it two years, so the designer paper I used as retired, but the new Best Dressed Designer Paper (that is retiring this year!) also coordinates beautifully with the Abstract Impressions stamp set in a softer color scheme.

It looks pretty simple on the outside, but look what happens when you open it up!

The Gate Fold Shutter Card is not as hard as it looks! Watch my video tutorial from 2018 to see how to make it. All of the measurements for this card are the same as the ones I used on the Bird Banter card.

Here are some more cards using the Abstract Impression stamp set. Both the stamp set and Springtime Impressions dies are on sale while supplies last until June 3! Don't miss out on these and all of the other Last Chance Deals! Shop Now
