It’s been a while since I have shared some alternatives, but here are the October 2024 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives that I came up with.
I really like the Nests of Winter suite in the catalog, so I was excited to see a coordinating Paper Pumpkin kit. Maybe it’s the birds? My grandmother always had birds, so I’m sure that’s why I am particularly fond of them.
Here is the suite that coordinates, as well as a more detailed view of the DSP. The Winterly Tree Tops bundle has some fabulous bird stamps. And, the dies from the bundle even cut out some of the images on the DSP! All can be found on page 31 of the Sep-Dec 2024 mini catalog.
The first alternative
The first alternative consists of primarily a cut card and the precut die cuts that are included in the kit.
I simply added some layered cardstock, and some Iridescent bling with the ribbon and embellishments.
The second alternative
The second alternative is similar to the first in terms of what I used, but this time I incorporated the use of some dies.
The coordinating Merry Tags & More dies were used to create the tag and the word “Merry”.
The last alternative
The last alternative is made a little differently. Instead of using one of the card bases to create the background, I created it by stamping the birds in a repetitive pattern and coloring them with my Stampin’ Blends.
The coordinating Merry Tags & More dies created the foliage, and the label for the sentiment was from the Nested Essentials dies.
I would love to know your thoughts on my October 2024 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives, will you be CASEing any of them?
