November 2022 Paper Pumpkin ALTERNATE CARD IDEAS: From the North Pole Ki...

I have a FREE PDF Tutorial for today's ALTERNATE CARD Ideas from the November 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit. Click here for the tutorial link: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/jC4FmIs/novpaperpumpkinalternates

All 4 Alternate Cards Using the November 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit

The November kit is a tag kit but we are going to turn the tags into cards today! I had asked if you prefer cards over tags and the answer was a definite yes to cards! So here we are!

Because we do not have the typical printed card bases or envelopes in this kit I usually use as a sort of Designer Series Paper, we are going to create our own with the adorable stamp set in this month's kit.

So, it's all about fun and easy backgrounds and using the die cuts to decorate the cards.

I will be creating my own card bases and cardstock layers for these cards but we will use many elements from the kit as well.

If you are interested in specific measurements then you can download the free PDF Tutorial.

I have a full supply list below.

I want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Crafting!

Just a reminder: NO FACEBOOK LIVE ON THANKSGIVING DAY

Christmas Card Ideas with the Window Wishes Bundle and the Family & Frie...

I have a few more card ideas with Window Wishes and the Family & Friends Stamp Set. I love how these products combine to create beautiful Winter and Christmas scenes.

You can find a full product list below and the November Host Code has already been added for your shopping convenience!

The card features the couple from Family & Friends Stamp Set
and a stamped window scene from the Window Wishes Bundle

Family stamp (partial) with die cut scene from the 
Window Wishes Bundle

CARD MEASUREMENTS:

• Card Base 4-1/4 x 11 score at 5-1/2" (Basic White)
• Layer: 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" (cut out the window from center) Gingham Cottage DSP
• Window Outer Frame Die Cut (Red or Black)
• Window Inner Frame Die Cut (Red or Black)
• Banner Sentiment Die Cut (Basic White)
• Garland Die Cut (Soft Succulent)
• Single Tree Die Cut (Soft Succulent)
• Double Tree Die Cut (Soft Succulent)
• House and Roof Die Cuts (Basic White)
• Bow Die Cut (Basic White or Red)

INSTRUCTIONS: 

Cut window out of center of DSP with the outer window die. Die cut pieces list above.

Stamp 3 of the 5 family members in the lower center of the window with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (if you plan to use Stampin' Blends to color the family).

Stampin' Blends Shades for Family:

• Soft Succulent
• Smoky Slate
• Basic Black
• Night of Navy
• Ivory
• Pool Party

Die cut the slope just above the family with the die that cuts into paper. If you do not want to die cut in the slope there is a stamp you can use.

Stamp house in Sweet Sorbet. Stamp roof in Memento Black. Stamp trees and garland in Evening Evergreen ink. Tuck the tree into the slope in the upper corner and the trees in the lower part of the slope. This creates your scene in the window.

You can decide whether you'd like to add the inner window frame. I chose to leave it off the card created in the video. The inspiration card does include both window frames if you like that option!

Stamp sentiment in Evening Evergreen on banner piece and add just under the window.

Add garland above the window frame. Glue on bow. Add pearls with the white or red pearlized enamel effects to the garland and center of bow. Set aside to dry.
 

I hope you enjoyed today's card ideas! Here is the product list and happy crafting!
