Alternate cards with August Paper Pumpkin

This month's Paper Pumpkin is absolutely gorgeous! And as much as I wanted to make the cards as directed in the kit, I was challenged to create alternate designs

Card #1                                                 Tulle Shaker



An oval aperture was die cut in the center of one of the card fronts (as well as a piece of Whisper White slightly smaller than the card front.

The opening was covered with pink glitter tulle and SU Sprinkles Embellishments placed between layers. The die cut Whisper White piece was added on the reverse side of the front.

Here's a close up of the shaker element.


Card 2                                                       Easel

One of the card fronts was trimmed slightly, the corners at the top punched with the Detailed Trio Punch and adhered to an Easel base.

On the "stop" is a Whisper White strip with a sentiment on it as well as 3 flowers stamped in Flirty Flamingo and fussy cut. This strip is matted with Blackberry Bliss card stock and adhered to the card base with dimensionals.

Card #3                                         Z-Fold


Thick Whisper White cardstock was formed into a typical Z fold.  One of the card fronts was added to the inside.
On the card front and the Z fold band I used the stamps that came with the kit to create the collage background.
Here's a close up of the stamped background.

I'll try to have some more cards done for tomorrow.
