Another Flora & Flutter Paper Pumpkin alternative.   I started by spattering some Marina Mist ink on the card mat and then added some leaf stems using one of the stamps in the kit.  The Sahara Sand leaves pieces were cut off one of the card bases provided.  I added a layered butterfly created using Stampin' Up!'s Papillion Potpourri stamp set, Dapper Denim ink, and coordinating punch and then added it to a die cut butterfly from their Butterflies Thinlits.  This sentiment is from a Stampabilities Card Phrase stamp set.

This alternative A7 size card using the December 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit "Flora & Flutter" was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest created by Lynn Dunn of Stamptastic Designs.  The background mat is Stampin' Up!'s Crushed Curry.  The flowers are stamped with their Berry Burst ink, the leaves and stems with Garden Green.  The sentiment and butterflies are also included in this kit.  I finished off with some coordinating strips of cardstock  and enamel shapes.

My first alternative using the December 2017 Flora & Flutter Paper Pumpkin kit.   I cut the Calypso Coral card base in half and used the circle half on the A7 size card.  For the background  I used Stampin' Up!'s aqua brushes to watercolor on white card stock.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is also from the kit and was stamped with Peekaboo Peach ink on the same color cardstock, backed with a piece of Calypso Coral.  The ribbon  is Peekaboo Peach as well.  I stamped the butterflies with Soft Sky Ink on Soft Sky paper using the one of the stamps from their Papillion Potpourri stamp set and cut with the coordinating punch.  And finished off with some coordinating enamel shapes.

Here are 2 more alternatives using the August 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Bold Botanicals.   Use the "corner" stamp from the kit to completely fill along the outside edges of the card.  This time I have used a color cardstock base mat for each of these which changes up the look.  The sentiment is from the kit but stamped on white card stock ovals, cut using Stampin' Up!'s Stitched Shapes Framelit dies.  And then using their coordinating markers to color in the flowers and leaves on the popped up sentiment shape.

These 5 alternative cards were also made with August 2016 Paper Pumpkin, Bold Botanicals. Using the "corner" stamp in each of the four corners of this A2 size card. Filling the space in between with ribbons or a strip of card stock.  Then popping up one of the 4 large sentiments included in the kit on an oval shape cut from Stampin' Up!'s Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and stamped with Wild Wasabi and Cherry Cobbler inks. Using your favorite color ink and sentiments you can create a good number of cards very easily.

This one uses Bermuda Bay ink, a strip of designer series paper for the center strip beneath the sentiment, and the coordinating Bermuda Bay marker to color in some of the flowers and leaves.

This one was stamped with Wisteria Wonder ink and colored with the coordinating marker on a smaller piece of white card stock.  There was no space to fill in on the center of the card, a stitched circle die was used for the sentiment.

This one was stamped with Tangerine Tango ink. The center was filled with a strip of coordinating cardstock and some washi tape.

I have been creating cards using  one of my favorite Paper Pumpkin kits, Bold Botanicals from August 2016. This first one is closest to the original design except I used Stampin' Up! Tranquil Tide Ink instead of the Early Expresso that came in the kit.  Just a bit brighter for my tastes.  I think it would look nice using Cajun Craze as well. 

Stampin' Up!'s Quilt Builder Framelits dies were used for these cards.  I cut the "quilt squares" out of six different pieces of their card stock and Be Merry designer series papers and pieced them together in different color patterns.  The sentiment is from the coordinating Christmas Quilt stamp set.  The large six petal flower can be found in both the stamp set and die set. The small poinsettia stamp is from the Carols of Christmas stamp set.  On one I added a few die cuts from their Pretty Pines Thinlits. I love these colors together.

Here's another card using Stampin' Up!'s Smitten Mittens stamp set with their coordinating Many Mittens Framelits dies and Real Red ink on a sheet of designer paper from their Quilted Christmas set.  The sentiment is from their Hang Your Stocking stamp set. I have stamped the mittens in probably a dozen or more colors just have to get the rest of the cards put together. Hopefully in the next day or two.  A2 card size.

I love these detail die cut mittens from Stampin' Up!'s Many Mittens Framelits set.  Makes for a quick and easy card by just gluing them to any Christmas designer paper you have in your stash.  I used white card stock for a backing so the design doesn't show thru the mittens. A7 size card.

And here's another card using the Swirly Snowflake Thinlits dies from Stampin' Up!.  The sentiment is from the coordinating Snowflake Sentiments stamp set using their Night of Navy ink.  This is an A7 size card so since the die wasn't large enough to go across the front of the card I die cut the two snowflakes on the left end first and then lined up the same die again on the right hand end of my card stock.  I did this twice for the upper and lower die cuts.  It sounds a bit tricky but really worked out very well.

This card uses dies cuts from Stampin' Up!'s Swirly Snowflake Thinlits set which I placed on some holiday designer paper that I had in my stash.  The sentiment is from their coordinating Snowflake Sentiments stamp set using their Real Red ink.  A2 size card.

Another double Z-fold card this time using Stampin' Up!'s Santa's Sleigh Framelits Dies. I used some iridescent paper that I found in my stash.  Don't know where I got it from but what a wonderful effect it has on this card - it looks different from every angle.  I have also stamped some snowflakes using the stamps from the October Paper Pumpkin kit and the sentiment from the November Paper Pumpkin kit.  A7 size card.

Stampin' Up!'s Santa's Sleigh Framelits dies were used for this Holiday Card. These wonderful dies make creating a beautiful card so easy.  The sentiment is from their October 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit.  All added to a mat that I embossed using Anna Griffin's Cuttlebug Snowfall folder. A7 size card.

This is definitely my favorite card that I made using Stampin' Up!'s Pretty Pines Thinlits dies.   I have added 2 birds die cut from their Birds & Blooms Thinlits.  The sentiment is from their October Paper Pumpkin kit.  The top mat is from their Color Theory Card stack. It was inspired and CASEd by a card I saw on Pinterest created by Debbie Henderson.  A7 size card.

This was inspired and CASEd from a card I saw on Pinterest by Bev Gerard.  The die cuts are again from Stampin' Up!'s  Pretty Pines Thinlits. The sentiment is from their October 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit.  I used Anna Griffin's Cuttlebug Deer Run embossing folder on the white mat.  A7 size card.

Another Christmas card using Stampin' Up!'s Pretty Pine Thinlits, combined with a mitten die cut with their Christmas Stocking Thinlits  with a  white embossed snowflake design from the coordinating Hang Your Stocking stamp set. I've added a few flowers I had in my stash that were cut with dies from their Seasonal Layers Thinlits. A2 size card.

This card was stamped using Stampin' Up!'s Christmas Happiness stamp set with their Bermuda Bay ink.  It was CASEd from a card I saw on Pinterest designed by DeAnn Rauzi.  The sentiment and ornaments are from their Carols of Christmas stamp set.  And the tiny snowflakes from their October 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit. A7 size card.

Loving the Pretty Pine Thinlits from Stampin' Up! that I used for this card.  I cut out boughs in several different shades of green cardstock.  The pine cones and bows are from the same set.  The sentiment is from their October 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink. A7 size card.  This card was CASEd from one I saw on pinterest made by Bonnie O'Neill.

This card was created with Stampin Ups' Christmas Stocking Thinlets using some designer paper from my stash.  A7 size card.

These two double Z-Fold cards  were the first I made in this style.  Took me a while to get the measurements right.  The stockings were cut with Stampin Up's Christmas Stocking Thinlets. The sentiment on the front of the cards is from their Paper Pumpkin kit from October 2017.  The upper inside sentiment is from their Santa's Sleigh stamp set and the lower sentiment is from Hero Arts set #CL722.  I used designer paper that I had in my stash.  A2 size cards.
