I made these alternative A2 size cards using the reverse side of the calendar pieces from Stampin' Up!'s Paper Pumpkin from December 2018 Day By Day.

This first card features the flower stamp from Humming Along and the coordinating Hummingbird Framelits dies.

I stamped the flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them with Mango Melody and Old Olive Stampin' Blends, and then die cut them.

I stamped the reverse side of the calendar piece with Crushed Curry ink using one of the pattern stamps from Beautiful Blizzard.

I glued two of the flowers to the left side of the piece and trimmed them to fit.  I popped up the 3rd flower with dimensionals.

The sentiment is from Colorful Seasons stamp set and was stamped with Old Olive ink.  I cut the 2 banner pieces using one of the dies from Bunch of Banners Framelits and popped it up with dimensionals.

I threaded some Crushed Curry ribbon thru the holes at the top and made a simple knotted bow.

The top piece was glued to a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" piece of DSP from the Country Lane set and then mounted onto a white card base.   And added a few coordinating enamel shapes for a finishing touch.

This second card features the one of the birds and the branch from Best Birds stamp set.  They were stamped onto Whisper White cardstock with Memento black ink, colored with Night of Navy, Crumb Cake, Old Olive & Mango Melody Stampin' Blend sets, and then die cut with the coordinating Birds and Blooms Thinlits.

I stamped the reverse side of the calendar piece with the pattern piece from Best Birds using Soft Suede ink, and them sponged the piece with Blueberry Bushel ink.

The branch was glued to the calendar piece mat, the bird was popped up with dimensionals.  Then mounted onto a piece of Blueberry Bushel Cardstock.

I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from May Good Thing Grow Paper Pumpkin kit March 2018 onto one of the banners from Manly Moments Paper Pumpkin May 2018 using Blueberry Bushel ink.  I love to find use for leftover items from my past kits. The sentiment was glued and popped up with dimensionals.  Then the finished mats were attached to a white card base.

This 3rd card features the Accented Blooms stamp set.

I stamped the reverse side of the calendar piece with the Crackle Paint background stamp using Crushed Curry ink.

I stamped the flower main piece onto Whisper White cardstock with Memento Black ink and colored the flowers with various Stampin' Blends sets.  Then I fussy cut the piece and popped it up with Dimensionals.

I stamped the Hello sentiment using Crushed Curry ink and popped it up onto the flower piece.

And threaded a piece of Crushed Curry Ribbon with a knotted bow thru the holes in the top of the mat.

The mat was then glued to a piece of Crush Curry Color Theory DSP.  I added a few coordinating Enamel Shapes.  And all was matted onto a white card base.

This 4th card features the flower stamp from Colorful Seasons.  

I stamped the reverse side of the calendar piece with the dotted texture stamp from Artisan Textures using Old Olive and Night of Navy inks.

I stamped the flower onto Whisper White Cardstock using Versamark ink.  Added Blueberry Bushel embossing powder and heat embossed it.

The flower was colored with Night of Navy and Old Olive Stampin' Blend Sets and then fussy cut and popped up with Dimensionals onto the mat.  I threaded some Navy Blue Ribbon with a knotted bow thru the holes in the top of the mat.

The sentiment is from Heartfelt Blooms and was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto Whisper White Cardstock.  The frame around the sentiment was also stamped in Night of Navy and is from the Labels to Love stamp set.  The piece was punched out with the Everyday Label Punch.  It was popped up with Dimensionals.

I added a few Coordinating Enamel Shapes to the mat and then glued it to a piece of Night of Navy Cardstock.  The mats were then glued to a white card base.
