Pick of the Crop: Paper Pumpkin Alternate Projects

6 Jul
Pick of the Crop: Paper Pumpkin Alternate Projects via @denise34

Hello and welcome! Today’s post is all about the berry-awesome June 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit.  The Pick of the Crop Paper Pumpkin kit is bursting with fabulous picnic themed images and fun summer colours.  

I was so excited when I found the Pick of the Crop Paper Pumpkin kit was delivered to my doorstep.  I knew from the little hints Stampin’ Up! gave us that this was one kit I was really going to like.  And I was not wrong! The picnic theme is so much fun.  When I sat down to create a few alternate projects I was pleasantly surprised at how the ideas just kept coming.  I can’t wait to share my creations with you, but first look at everything that was included in this kit!!

If you are a current Paper Pumpkin subscriber you can purchase refills for the Paper Pumpkin kit HERE through my online store. 

I hope that the alternate projects I created to share with you will inspire you to really get creative with the Pick of the Crop Paper Pumpkin kit.

If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber and have chosen me as your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator then keep an eye on your inbox … your exclusive PDF details sheet for these alternate projects will be delivered soon!

When I first sat in my craftroom with this kit I made one of each card the way it is suggested on the instruction sheet.  I must say that I was very pleased with the designs.  Doing this helped me to get familiar with the pieces and get that creative mojo going.

The larger die cuts are perfect for a scrapbook page so that is where I started.  Just by adding in a bit of cardstock and cloud die cuts this layout came together nicely… I can’t wait to take some photos this summer to display on it.

I came up with four additional card designs using elements from the Pick of the Crop kit and a few additional Stampin’ Up! items.  There is a full list of the additional items I’ve used at the bottom of today’s post.

Finally I really wanted to create something that would show off the fun stamp set.  So I had the idea to stamp on a white peekaboo treat bag!  It turned out so cute and I found some strawberry candies to fill the bag with too.  Wouldn’t this make a fun little surprise and delight for someone!
