CWK Alternative card 3 of 8 for Paper Pumpkin Sweet Sunflowers August 2022
Love the look and feel of the Early Espresso Faux Suede trim. It really makes the Crushed Curry sunflowers pop with the juxtaposition of the Early Espresso trim and flower centers.
After cutting off the extraneous areas from the Kit card base back, I added Crushed Curry strips (from the Regals DSP Assortment) to the sides of the card base on either side of the flap.
Coloring the sunflowers with watercolor pencils and blender pens makes them look real!
#3 Measurements:
- Early Espresso: 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2, then sides cut off the top half at 1/2″ in from each side.
- Crushed Curry DSP: 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ (x 2 pieces)
- Basic White: 3″ x 5 1/2″
- Kit card back of Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry: cut down to 3″ x 5 1/4″
#3 Instructions:
- Glue the DSP strips flat to the card base inside.
- Stamp sunflowers in Crushed Curry once, then twist and stamp a second time on the Kit card back, the Kit flower diecut and onto the inside white piece.
- Stamp inside of sunflowers with Early Espresso, twist stamp and stamp it again.
- Add splatter with Water Painter dipped in Espresso ink. (Whack the Water Painter onto your bone folder or a blender pen, etc. to get the droplets to splatter.)
- Wrap ribbon around card base piece before mounting to front Espresso flap with Dimensionals. Pop up the Kit diecut sunflower over the ribbon with Dimensionals.
- Add embellishments as desired.
Notes about all 8 alternatives:
- It seems EVERYBODY LOVED THIS KIT and wishes we had refills!
- I was truly inspired to create several alternatives since it was so easy to double/triple/quadruple the kit by cutting all 9 card fronts in half and using the fronts and backs separately.
- I also cut up all the envelopes and made multiple cards using those pieces as focal points on additional card bases from my Stampin’ Up! stash.
