Paper Pumpkin Alternatives November 2018

Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

The November 2018 Paper Pumpkin was by far the best one yet! The beautiful plaids were very versatile, the envelope plaid was amazing and provided a new perspective from the very vanilla based plaids in the kit. There was also very nice laser cut greenery and you got a LOT! I started out with the basics - have to at least do one of each designed prepared by the designers, but then all bets are off! Alternatives here we come! All in all I was able to create 38 cards with this kit. It is the first time I used the entire kit with only simple scraps left over - which I normally do something with - but life is crazy - you know! Special shout out to Rachel Tessman, some of hers I CASEd below as well as some others for the amazing inspiration!

Special Delivery from the North Pole

The November 2018 Paper Pumpkin was really cute including the plaid envelopes they provided! Well - I could not let all of the cuteness go to waste - so I had to cut apart the envelope to utilize the cute plaid within. When I did that, there was this weird extra triangular piece left over and try as I might - every time I used it it sill ended up looking like an envelope - so I gave in & said - let me just make an envelope AS the card. So I went off to my stash to find an across the miles type sentiment & came across the Special Delivery from the North Pole - perfect!!! This is a typical A2 top fold card.

The card front is made from 2 pieces of the leftover cut apart envelope. I highlighted the seam of the envelope with a marker to get more of the point across that it is an envelope and mounted that on the enclosed card base in the Paper Pumpkin kit..
