10 July 2023 Fun in the Sun Alternative Paper Pumpkin Cards + VIDEO

Do you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin? I love Paper Pumpkin kits because they are perfect for busy crafters like me. You can pull it out when you need a quick project and don't have time to design it yourself! This project kit subscription service from Stampin' Up! offers professionally designed projects every month! The July 2023 kit, Fun in the Sun, included the materials to make 9 fun fold cards -- 3 each of 3 designs.

I love making my kit stretch even further, so I used some additional cardstock to create 15 cards (duplicates of some designs).  I cut apart the card bases and used the die cut pieces to create these clean and simple summer cards. 

I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the front layer of these cards (above and below).

I used the same pieces to create the card above and below and changed the orientation. Which way do you prefer it -- portrait or landscape? Leave a comment and let me know!

This one is my favorite! I used the sun stamp in the Fun in the Sun kit to stamp a border down the left side of the card.

I added an embossed layer of Pool Party cardstock to the die cuts in the Paper Pumpkin to make this card. This new embossing folder is coming out in the Sept-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and is part of a pair called Cheery Patterns.

I ran out of crabs, so I used a simple stamped sentiment on the last two cards

Watch the replay of this video for more information about these Paper Pumpkin Alternatives -- and see how I was inspired by these projects to create cards using the new A Walk in the Forest Designer Paper.
