Check Out These March Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

Looking for creative card-making ideas using Stampin’ Up!’s monthly subscription kit for March 2023? Today I have some alternative designs using the supplies in the kit. I’ve got to admit, when I started working with the kit, I was stumped for a while as to how I was going to change anything, but then the creative juices started flowing. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out, I think the March kit has something for everyone. Hopefully you’ll enjoy these designs as much as I enjoyed creating them.

If you’d like to see what was included in the March Paper Pumpkin Kit, you can see it at the link below.

Here are the suggested card ideas that came with the kit.

Love this!

This next one is very close to the suggested cards, I just added a polished pink banner behind the sentiment to make it stand out and rearranged the leaves.

With this card, I shifted the suggested design a bit, I liked how the “happy” looked at an angle.

This next card was actually created by Stephanie H. at my Paper Pumpkin Play Night. I thought it was really cute how she colored on the back of the white basket to get that woven look.

The following cards were true alternatives that I feel I got away from the suggest designs, totally.

For the card above, I used the negative from the leaves I punched out and a sponge with ink to create the background.

For this one, I cut the front of a card off and then cut it into 1-1/4 X 3-1/2 strips. Then I layered it black and gold foil.

I hope you enjoyed the alternatives. Don’t forget, if you’d like to tryout Paper Pumpkin for yourself, you need to join by the 10th of the month.
