No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin Alternative Bunny

The March 2020 No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin kit had such cute artwork in it, although I was not a  huge fan of the boots! Take a peek at what I did with them below!

~Enjoy!

I noticed that the polka dot boots that came with the No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin kit matched the Cajun Craze polka dots from the the Regals 6x6 Designer Series Paper pack. I cut down the card front a little on the top & bottom to better center it on an A2 card base. I cut out the center of the card front using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and popped up the center. I layered the whole thing on white. I flipped over the blue banner and stamped with with Cajun Craze & an Easter wish from my stock. Like I said, I did not really care for the boots, so I turned them into planter pots. I cut off the bottom part of the boot & then layered a little white to match the white border the rest of the artwork had.  The ribbon is from the April 2015 Love You a Lot Paper Pumpkin kit.

Spring Retreat #1 - Day by Day Paper Pumpkin

On my most recent retreat, I was traveling so I did not have a great deal of stamping supplies with me, luckily my friend Shannon offered me a room & a raid on my last night before the retreat so I gladly took her up on her offer! I spent about an hour going through her stamps, adding notes to them so I could place them back where I found them after the retreat & picking out anything that I did not have in my stash at home.

There had been several cute cards made with the December 2018 Paper Pumpkin stamp set, which was just a bunch of odd shapes for a calendar set, which I did not get. I was thrilled that she had it & it was one of the first things I grabbed.

Most of these ideas are CASEd from Pinterest with a color change, but I am really happy with all the cute cards I was able to make with teh Day by Day Paper Pumpkin set! Here is the whole collection. The first card was part of Digital Retreat March #1.

~Enjoy!

The last card was made with the Melon Mambo and Memento Black I made the pink and black one first and really thought it was cute, but my table mate was not feeling it. I replicated it on the second card with Cajun Craze and Night of Navy, trying to get a more masculine version and I love Cajun Craze! These are CASEd from North Shore Stamper.

Stampin' Pretty always has the best card ideas and this one is not an exception. This pattern has been around for years, I remember making a card at my friends house in the early 90s like this one! It is so easy to just stamp aways at a piece of paper and them just cut it into strips!

Since I was traveling and did not have a great assortment of stamps & I had decided this retreat would be all about Birthdays, I found this cute birthday stamp at Tuesday Morning from Firefly and used it on almost every card I made this weeked. It was so cute & everyone kept asking what set it was from!

Gently Falling Paper Pumpkin Brown Glitter

The Gently Falling Paper Pumpkin colors are so pretty & I loved the embossed pillow box, although I really had no use for them, so I used them as background paper instead!

~Enjoy!

---

I cut the pillow boxes apart & added some glitter glue in bronze to enhance the embossed image. I did not get the stamp set with this Paper Pumpkin, I only got the refills, so I substituted the Vintage Leaves Stamp Set instead and stamped the leaves with Cajun Craze and Soft Suede. The card base is Very Vanilla and the sentiment is stamped with Cajun Craze and a "thank you" from my stash. The whole thing is topped with a bow made from Peekaboo Peach Seam Binding Ribbon and some die cuts from the Bouquet Bunch Dies. Here is pinspiration for this one.
