Inked Occasions! With Hugs! April Paper Pumpkin Kit Alternative ...

Have you played with your April 2025 Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit yet?!  Do you have a Paper Pumpkin subscription?!  Well I hope so because this kit, Inked Occasions, is FABULOUS!  Oh my heavens!  So much fun & GORGEOUS!  The kit comes with all the supplies needed to make 9 cards ... including a stamp set, ink, & envelopes!  The cards are gorgeous as is ... or let them be a jumping off point to your creativity!  I made a couple alternatives & today I am sharing the first one!  

I used the stamps & elements from the kit ... plus a few other supplies from Stampin' Up!  The Happy Hibiscus Bundle was so much fun to use with this set.  So I used that & the Textured Notes Dies.  I stamped the flowers onto one of the cards that came with the kit & embossed with gold embossing powder.  Then just used to die-cuts to cut them out.  Added some leaves from the Happy Hibiscus Dies, stamping with the butterfly from the stamp set that is included with the kit, and some Brushed Brass Butterflies.  

The greeting was fun to do as well.  I stamped the greeting on a piece from the kit, then added some ink using a Blending Brush.

In real life the gold shimmers & shines & looks just insanely gorgeous! 

I hope you enjoy!  Thank you so much for visiting!  If you need to get your own Paper Pumpkin subscription so you can have perfectly coordinated projects delivered to your house each month - let me know! 💖  Would also love to help you with any of your paper crafting needs!
