March Paper Pumpkin Memorable Meadows Alternatives

 It's been a Paper Pumpkin week.  I have been working on several of my Paper Pumpkin kits the last month or so, and I'm so happy to be sharing my alternatives for our March kit.  The last three kits have been amazing, in my opinion. I have been having fun creating different ideas. Here's my March kit alternatives:

The March kit is called Memorable Meadows, and it comes with all the parts to make 9 cards and envelopes.  I decided to stretch this kit (to 18 cards) and cut apart all the cards that came inside the box and used my own cardstock from my stash to create card bases. This kit also came with some wood elements that are very nice. However, I like to mail my cards and I was a bit worried that they might get damaged in the mail. So, I opted not to use the wood pieces and instead, either stamped on the designer paper or created a sentiment on another piece of cardstock when I ran out of the cardstock pieces that came with the kit.

Let's talk about the gorgeous watercolor designs on these cards. WOW! This photo does not do them justice.  Move over, Monet! Look how everything "goes together". The front of the card finishes its beautiful painting on the back, so when you cut these apart, you have a beautiful, matched design and 2 cards to boot! How sweet is that?  I added gems from my stash and a few pieces of purple from the January kit to add some interest to these gorgeous cards.

January Paper Pumpkin Kit Alternatives

 So much is happening in my world! It's all good, so that's a blessing for sure.  I have been purging, re-organizing and creating for the last month.  Today I'd like to show you the alternative cards I made from our January Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit.  I loved this kit so much that I did buy a refill, so I could extend the love even more.  I always need a lot of birthday cards, so I combined some stamps from the January and February kits, to stamp sentiments on some of the cards.  Here's what I created:

By the time I'm done, I will have 30 cards from one kit and one kit refill! As you can see, I still have 3 more to finish and I may end up making even more. Not a bad investment. These will come out to about a dollar or less per card. That's even better than the dollar store ($1.50 store now).

I love the versatility in our kits!  Everything you need is right inside the box.  Stamps, ink, cardstock bases, envelopes, twine, embellishments.  There are always plenty of parts inside, and if you choose not to make alternatives, you'll usually have parts leftover for another time.  For these, I added some pearls and gems from my stash.  I cut the card bases apart to use as layers, then used card stock I have on hand to create the card bases.  I also used different inks that coordinated with the kit. Some sentiments were from previous kits, that just worked out well for these.
