Blissful Blooms, August 2018 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

[@RobertasArtisticAdventures]

Love the alternative cards you've made with this kit, Linda! That is a great idea to create unique edges with the flower stamps and fussy cutting the edges! Sharing on my FB group page, Roberta's Artistic Adventures! I just became a SU demo a week ago and was surprised to find August's Paper Pumpkin kit in my Demo kit box I received today! Now I have lots of new ideas for making alternative cards with this kit!

Linda, you are an excellent teacher! I love what you did to expand the kit. I can’t wait to finish unpacking And get started on the cards! Thank you!

Thanks Cheryl. this is a lovely kit. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@heidirichardson4988]

I also like how you can make more cards then the ones you get in the box.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Heidi, That is what I specialize in doing with Paper Pumpkin. Many of their designs are really lovely. I try to show ways you can stretch your Paper Pumpkin with different designs. I love the challenge.

Beautiful cards Linda, wish I would have ordered the pumpkin kit sooner ,this kit is beautiful

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Louise, I have found that the refills are available which gives you everything but the stamp set and the ink spot (for $9) it is a pretty good buy. Let me know if you have trouble finding the refills they are not always easy to get to. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@louisewhitford3145]

okay thank you

Gorgeous cards Linda. I wish we could get this kit in Europe. I love the design of the paper, the colours and the stampset. Just gorgeous. Love love love it. I wish I could get my hands on at least the stampset.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Roden, I think you could just about duplicate it with items from your stash, floral DSP and other stamp sets, give it a try. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

Very beautiful Linda! I wanted to let you know that the heart shaped stamp is the center color of the flowers.. you can see where to place it by lining up the point of the heart shape stamp with the coresponding point in the center of the flower.. I used blackberry bliss for the flower and pineapple punch for the center and then black for the stamen, they look really pretty .. I loved the way you used it for the leaves! Your cards all are very beautiful! TFS! Suzie :)

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Suzie, I will have to admit that thought never crossed my mind, and it probably says that In the instructions, LOL. I am sure a yellow makes the flowers just lovely. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@PaperToPetals]

So far, from what I've seen for the alternatives, I think yours are the prettiest & I like them the best. I will replay your video again to get the measurements.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Paulette, I love the challenge of the alternatives to paper pumpkin, it really makes me think. I am so glad you like them. Thanks for watching. Linda B.

[@susantipton8686]

Every one of these cards are just gorgeous. I thought the original prints in the kit were pretty but sometimes for me when the card is just pretty much the print it kind of looks like a store bought card and I don't care for that look but you have taken the elements from the kit and created very beautifully designed cards that are far from looking like store bought. I will be casing your designs using my kit if that's Ok?

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Susan, Case away! That for me is what this is all about, and as you know I love the challenge of thinking outside the box. Thanks for watching. Linda B.
