I'm still enthralled with the July Painted Petals Paper Pumpkin Kit and the many Alternative card ideas I'm seeing made from this kit.  It inspired me to create this card using the kit contents and a few items from my stash.  The only negative is that refills for this kit sold out the first day they became available!  The safe bet is to set up a Paper Pumpkin subscription so that you're ensured you'll receive a Paper Pumpkin Kit each month.   This is the second alternative card I created with the kit contents, and I'm anxious to make more cards with this delightfully designed kit.   This fun fold card Alternative made with the kit, includes additional Melon Mambo Cardstock, and also uses one of the matching envelopes and one of the basecards from the Kit.  When folded up, it looks like a normal card.  When its folded open, it just keeps opening up until you get to the hidden card and sentiment area on the end panel.  Thanks to www.stampwithlaurie.com for the inspiration for this card.

 

I used a Thick Basic White Basecard.  Then lined the panels with mattes of Melon Mambo Cardstock.   

Then, slicing open one of the 

envelopes, I covered the center two panels with the Melon Mambo print from the inside of the envelope.   I used one of the Melon Mambo basecards from the kit for the front and fourth panel, using a section with the florals on each panel.  Then I selected one of the Melon Mambo die cuts and lined the frame with Vellum Cardstock.  I adhered the floral die cut to the front of the card, attaching only the left portion to the front panel leaving the right side free.

On the back panel, the Basic White Basecard is covered with a layer of Melon Mambo.  Then I created a card  with a Basic White base of 4-1/8" X 6" scored at 3" along the long side.  Then a layer of Melon Mambo, and then a layer of Flowers from the Envelope.  Then, the inside of this card is decorated with floral stamp from the Stamp Set included in this Kit and one of the sentiments from the kit. 

Card dimensions:

Basecard:  5-1/2 X 11", scored at 1-3/4, 3-1/2", 5-1/4" and 7"

                At 1-1/4" on the long side, go down to 1-3/4" score line and 

                cut down two score lines on both sides.

                      5-1/4 X 1-1/2 (Need two, 1st and 4th panel)

                      2-3/4" X 1-1/2" (Need 2, middle of 2nd and 3rd panels)

                      Panel  Decoration:

                      From Envelope:  1-3/8 X 7/8" (need 4)

The Painted Petals kit makes 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs, which I'm going to enjoy completing and sending to friends and family.  I love visiting the Paper Pumpkin Facebook Fan Club page, one of many Facebook sites for Paper Pumpkin Fans for more alternative card ideas created by Paper Pumpkin enthusiasts.  Using the kit contents along with your own coordinating paper colors and accessories, you can often create alternative cards in excess of the number of cards in the kit

Of course the talented Paper Pumpkin design team creates stunning cards and projects in these monthly Paper Pumpkin Kits.  In addition to the color step-by-step instructions included in the kit, subscribers to the monthly kits can also watch the unboxing video for their kits.  If you haven't watched this months kit and downloading the stamp case insert, you can do so by visitng:  https://youtu.be/NgaLq1opLxY?si=3TDoEkZg6HO4muKW
