Inked Occasions April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card Idea

      

  • Paper Pumpkin Inked Occasions Alternative Card Idea
  • Order May 2025 Mountains Majesties Paper Pumpkin Kit by May 10  
  • Starter Kit $99 Special gets you $165 in products you pick
  • New 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and new In Color products now available

As soon as I saw the watercolored backgrounds included in the April 2025 Inked Occasions Paper Pumpkin Kit, I started rummaging through my Dies for a large die cut that would show off the beautiful colors in this paper.   I was looking for the flowers from the Wonderful Thoughts Dies but spotted the Magnolia Mood dies and felt bad for how little I had used this bundle when it was current.  Either die sets would have showcased this watercolor paper.  I knew many crafters had the Magnolia Mood Dies, and decided to use this retired die set rather than the current Wonderful Thoughts Dies.    


Alterattive Card idea using the Inked Occasions April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit


I cut one of the watercolor basecards in this Kit to 2-1/4" wide by 4" long, mounted it on a 2-1/2" wide strip of Berry Burst Cardstock.  Then I mounted these layers onto a Berry Burst Basecard, with a layer of Basic White cut to 4 X 5-1/4".  I die cut the largest flower from the Magnolia Mood Dies in Basic White, some of the open leaves in Gold Foil, and the flower from the Hugs Abloom Dies in Gold Foil to use on my card. The Hugs Abloom Die set is an Add-on to the current quarter Paper Pumpkin Kits, and can be see below.

I cut a sentiment label using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies, although you could use the sentiment label from the Hugs Abloom Dies as an alternative.  I used the Berry Burst Ink Spot included in the Kit along with one of the sentiment stamps in the Kit to add the Thinking-of-you sentiment to the card.  For embellishments, I added a few Gold Low-profile Dots which complimented the Gold foil die cuts and accents in the watercolor paper.
