Second Paper Pumpkin Inked Occasions Alternative Card Idea

• Starter Kit $99 Special gets you $165 in products you pick

Here's my second alternative card idea using the April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Inked Occasions Kit.  I cut up one of the basecard watercolored backgrounds included in the kit to create an image layer for a Gold Foil Die Cut from the Magnolia Mood Dies, a Retired set of dies that I didn't use nearly enough when they were current.  I love pulling out retired favorites to create alternative cards from Paper Pumpkin Kits.  It extends the number of cards I can make with a kit, challenges my creativity, and extends the usefulness of the investment I've made my stamping purchases.  I used the color theme of Basic White, Berry Burst and Gold Foil to compliment the colors in the watercolored background I used as the background for my image layer.  I created die cuts with Magnolia Mood Dies, used Scalloped Contour Dies, and Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder to create this card.  For embellishments, I used Gold Low Profile Dots.  

I cut the watercolor section from one of the Paper Pumpkin Kit basecards to create the image area for my die cut.  I added a Basic White layer die cut using the retired Scalloped Contours Dies, and a larger Basic White layer dry embossed using the Pretty Flowers (Retired) Embossing Folder.  Then I added a Gold Foil layer on top of the Berry Burst cardstock Basecard. 

I die cut the largest flower from the Magnolia Mood Dies in in Gold Foil Sheet to use as the focal point on my card.  Then I selected some of the sentiment die cuts included in the Inked Occasions Paper Pumpkin Kit, and stamped sentiments from the included stamp set in Berry Burst Ink on to the die cuts.    I used the Berry Burst Ink Spot included in the Kit.  For embellishments, I added a few Gold Low-profile Dots which complimented the Gold foil die cuts and accents in the watercolor paper.
