It’s May, and I’m a little behind, but my April 2021 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives are here! These three “sweet” alternatives will have you craving something fruity and are easy to make.

The three cards are so bright and cheery and I can’t wait to share them with you.
The first alternative
The first alternative is a square card and will fit in a 6″ x 6″ envelope perfectly.

To make this one, you will need use a few supplies outside of the kit. The Stitched Stars dies, some ribbon, rhinestones, and an assortment of Stampin’ Blends.

The second alternative
The second alternative is one of repetitive watermelons.

A couple of Stampin’ Blends and some contrasting black really work well for this one.

The last alternative
The last alternative is made by utilizing the envelope liner.

Do a little fussy-cutting, add some thread and some stickers, and you are all set!

How to get dies for popsicles and stamp that says youre So cooL?
Hi Linda! The popsicles do not have dies, I cut them out using my Paper Snips and the stamp, that says you’re so cool, is from the April 2021 Paper Pumpkin kit. Hope this helps 🙂
I’m a little behind too, Melissa, so I appreciate these alternatives for Paper Pumpkin. Love them!
Thank you for sharing them with us,
Peggy
