There are a lot of baseball lovers in my family -- my husband, my son, my parents. And my oldest daughter plays softball, so I was excited to play with the latest Paper Pumpkin Kit -- the May 2021 baseball-themed Batter Up card kit. 
Even though Paper Pumpkin projects are professionally designed and ready to complete, I always love the challenge of using the kit pieces in different ways to create alternative projects. When creating my alternative projects, I try not to add much -- mostly just additional cardstock for card bases. Here's what I came up with the using the May 2021 Batter Up Paper Pumpkin Kit:

I cut the striped card base apart -- cutting the front into two 2-3/4" x 4-1/4" pieces and then trimming the back down to 4-1/4" x 5-1/4" to use inside the added Night of Navy card base. Besides the card bases, all of the other pieces from these two cards came directly from the kit!

I also cut apart the Soft Suede woodgrain card base to use for layers on these two cards (and a strip on the very first card above).

This card includes a piece I trimmed from one of the envelope flaps. Although the banner here is the home plate die cut, I think it serves well as a banner for a non-baseball theme card. What do you think?

Here are the last two cards -- created mostly with just the kit pieces plus Night of Navy card bases.
