Life Is Sweet With Artisan Alternatives! Paper Pumpkin June 2024!

The Life Is Sweet June 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit is one of my favorites.  And I get to share a few alternatives using this kit!  I have already posted one of them, as well as photos of the kits contents (to see that post, click HERE), and today I am sharing a second one! 

This card is made using pieces from the kit as well as the stamp set in the kit, the EXCLUSIVE Paper Pumpkin subscriber die set that coordinates with the April, May, & June kits, & the Seaside Wishes Bundle.

This photo below may make you think this is just a regular card, but it is much more than that!  This card is actually a fun group card AND bonus mini album!  Want to check it out?!  


This is the card from the front.  I love how the Peach Pie ribbon pops against the Pretty In Pink card base.  The floral frame is from the kit, and the vellum underlay is also from the kit ... I just embossed that piece with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder.

Then you untie the ribbon .... 


...and flip the Pretty in Pink card front to partly open the card.  I love the die cuts and stamps from the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set & Dies.  Then the fun frame is from the Paper Pumpkin EXCLUSIVE Die set, Thanks & Beyond.  😍  (This is available as an add-on purchase for Paper Pumpkin subscribers ONLY!) 

Then flip the Summer Splash card and ...


... SURPRISE!!!  A place for a photo and some cards (in the pockets of the envelope used to make this card!) 

Both envelope pockets have cards inside where you could either put more photos and journaling or have your group write notes to the recipient!  You could even add more cardstock pieces if you needed to!  


Here are a few more pics of the details: 





I used a lot of the card bases and pieces from the kit as accents.  And the stamp set from the kit as well for the sentiments.  

Want to know how I made it?!  Well here you go!  It is so easy! 

You take two envelopes from the kit, and adhere them to a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock.  Then repeat for the other side with another piece of cardstock ... so the envelope flaps and sandwiched between the two.  This creates a really sturdy album.  




Then you just add all the pieces to decorate!  

This was so much fun to make!  Let me know if you have any questions on making one yourself!  

Thank you for visiting!  I would love to help you with all you papercrafting needs so don't hesitate to reach out!
