Yesterday I shared the 3 different card designs from the Sweet Sunflowers August Paper Pumpkin Kit.  Today, I showing an alternative card I made from the contents of the kit.  In fact, the background is actually a piece of one of the pre-printed envelopes from the kit plus I created a Blackberry Bliss Sunflower from the stamp included in the August Paper Pumpkin Kit.  The coordinating colors of the August Sweet Sunflowers kit included Blackberry Bliss and I think it pair beautifully with Fresh Freesia cardstock.  I dug through my all of my current and retired embossing folders and dies looking for anything bee or hive themed, and found this current Hive 3D Embossing Folder, which I used to dry emboss the Fresh Freesia background. I used Blackberry Bliss ink to stamp the Sunflower and then used my Water Painters to lightly water color the Sunflower with ink from the Blackberry Bliss ink pad.  I used the "hello" stamp from the kit to stamp a sentiment label.  This just pleases my eyes.  I may go back and add a bee from the kit or one of the left over metal bees from a previous catalog.  This kit continues to give me such joy, an I know I'll be proud to send this card to a family member or friends.  


Greeting Card from Stamp set and portion of preprinted envelope from August 2022 Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit


I used Blackberry Bliss cardstock for the base of my card.  Then a layer of Fresh Freesia dry embossed with the Hive 3D Embossing Folder.  Then I selected a piece of one of the envelopes from the Sweet Sunflower August 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit and but it so I preserved the rest of the envelope for another card.  Two cards from one envelope!  That's a great way to extend the usefulness of your kit!.  I matted the piece of envelope with Blackberry Bliss. 

Greeting Card from the Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit from August 2022


The kit includes a unique stamp set, and I used the Sunflowers Stamp to create a BlackBerry Bliss watercolored daisy by stamping the daisy once, then twisting the stamp slightly and stamping again.  Then I used my Water Painters to add a bit of Blackberry Bliss ink to the leaves before fussy cutting the daisy.  I also stamped two leaves in Mossy Meadow using stamps in this kit.  Finally, I used one of the watercolored sentiment labels from the kit and stamped hello in Rich Razzelberry ink.  I think Rich Razzelberry matched perfectly and wasn't quite as "heavy" as stamping it in Blackberry Bliss ink.

Sweet Sunflowers August 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit

The Stampin' Up! Demonstrator chat boards are filled with compliments, praise and gushing comments about the Sweet Sunflowers August 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit.  Its one of the most delightful kits Stampin' Up! has created for the Paper Pumpkin Collection.  It was highly anticipated even before it arrived.  Then, as soon as Demonstrators and Customers received their kits, posts of alternative card ideas using the pieces in this kit began to swamp the Paper Pumpkin Fan Facebook site and Demonstrator sites.  I'm cheerleading with the rest of the Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.  This Paper Pumpkin Kit is my new all-time favorite.  


Three greeting cards created from the August 2022 Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit



This August kit includes contents for making nine stunning cards.  Three cards each of three different designs, with coordinating envelopes.   Each kit includes 4-color instructions for assembling the cards, and the back page of the instructions gives you a link to the "how to" video for assembling your Paper Pumpkin Kit. 


Paper Pumpkin Kits include 4-color instructions and links to an assembly video


The kits use inks and stamps that can be used again, and this kit included two ink Spots - Soft Suede and Crushed Curry--and an exclusive stamp set.  The kits coordinate with Stampin' Up! colors and supplies to extend the usefulness of each kit.   In this kit, the base cards are preprinted with images on both the front and back.  You can extend the cards you create by cutting the front and back of each basecard and using each to create separate cards by mounting them on a Basic White card bases.  I'm definitely doing that with this kit.


This is one of the three card designs.  Note the white honeycomb backgrounds.  This kit included an additional gift of 10 gold foil honeycomb backgrounds, which I'll use on the Alternative card ideas I create.  This card uses a preprinted background, bees die cuts and the label for the sentiment stamp included with the kit.





I used the preprinted background on this second card design from the Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit for August 2022. The kit included clear honeycomb vellum and the labels for the sentiment, which is stamped in the Soft Suede Ink included in the kit. This card is so simple to create, yet its a card you would be proud to send.

.


The sunflower stamp included in this Paper Pumpkin Kit is remarkable in its detail.  To get the best image, you stamp the sunflower once, then twist the stamp slightly and stamp again.  It creates a nicely textured image.  This is the third card design in this kit.  Again, it uses a preprinted basecard, and the kit includes the die cuts for more of the red flowers, the sunflower die cut, and the die cut sentiment label. You don't need a die cutting machine.  You just punch them out of a pre-printed sheet, add Dimensionals, and add them to your card. 

With Sale-A-Bration ending this week Wednesday, its a great time to order a Paper Pumpkin Subscription for 3 months, 6 months or 12 months as you'll earn Free Sale-A-Bration selections for each $50 or $100 you orders.
