In my last post, I showcased the August, 2024 Time For Cake Paper Pumpkin Kit. I assembled those cards according to the Kit directions. The cards in this post are “Out-Of-The Box” Paper Pumpkin Alternatives. I used all of the supplies in the Kit and created “alternate” card designs. I put together six of the […]
Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop! I am so excited to have joined this team of hoppers sharing alternative designs for each month's Paper Pumpkin kit. This month's kit is perfect for building your stash of birthday cards!! Hopefully what we show will inspire you. Be sure to hop all the way through to see what this amazing team has come up with! Here is the unboxing video - so you can see all that is included and how the kit can come together. VIDEO ~*~*~*~*~ AUGUST: Time for Cake Info on Kit Contents: Bring on a birthday bash with elegant birthday cards made with rose gold details! • Makes 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs • Project includes printed card bases, coordinating envelopes, and labels • Embellishments and rose gold cord • Coordinating colors: Moody Mauve, Night of Navy (Classic Stampin’ Spot), Petal Pink, Pecan Pie, Pretty in Pink, Wild Wheat ~*~*~*~*~ Yes, this kit is just as fun as advertised - again I love the projects just as shown! But I still had so much fun coming up with some alternates - My first one is just so simple - but I love it! I used a Night of Navy base from my stash - Added a 2 1/2" strip of Wild Wheat down the middle; and a 2" strip of the light pink card base from the kit. On that I popped up a 1 1/2" x 3 3/4" strip of the candle piece from the kit and added the Happy Birthday and a bow with the Rose Gold cording. Then I used the Iridescent Foil Gems to add a little sparkle to the flames. Here's the inside - You could make several of these by cutting the kit elements apart. Here's a tip for the candles - I just placed both the candle stamp and the sparkle together on the block and had to stamp each once instead of twice - then added a dot with a yellow marker. Here's my second alternative - Again easy peasey - For this card I started with a base of Basic White - a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Night of Navy and then a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of one of the envelope linings - you can just open them and cut what your need - it extends the kit further - and the patterns are all beautiful. Loved this design and it worked perfect on my card. Then I took the three layers from the cake image and made them into candles (these were actually extra even if I had made all three cards of this pattern) - I adhered them to a Basic White piece 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" popping up the middle one on dimensionals. This was layered onto a piece of Night of Navy 2 3/4" x 4" and that entire piece popped up on dimensionsals. My sentiment banner was stamped with the bonus stamped - I used Moody Mauve and stamped it off once to make it a bit lighter - so my Happy Birthday sentiment would show up better. I then fussy cut it and adhered it to the middle candle. For the candle sparkles on this card I used the Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems - gold ones. Then finally - here are how I finished the envelopes - using my own Basic White ones - though you could use ones in the kit - And my third alternative (this kit could just go on and on with ideas) - This card is for my great-nephew's 6th birthday. I love how the bonus number set allows us to make our cards more personal. I started with a Night of Navy base and added a Basic White layer that was embossed with our Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder - I just love the festive look of this. Then added 1" x 3 5/8" strips to the front - that were cut from other parts of the kit, including the envelopes. Then added the banner and number - and of course finished the inside. I hope you've enjoyed these alternative ideas. Now be sure to hop through the rest to get some great inspiration. Don't forget to leave a comment, as we'd love to hear what you think.

To keep the cake in the center just trim 1/8” from both the left and right sides. Then trim ¼” from the top edge. 2- To create the openings for the shaker elements. Line up the leftover frame from the Angled Rectangle Pieces. Three openings should be centered vertically in the cake, the left edge should line up with the left edge of the cake. Use a pencil to outline the three openings. 3- Cut out each opening. You can use an Xacto Knife or Paper Trimmer to remove each. You can watch how I do it in the YouTube video below. 4- Trim off the open edge from one Clear Envelope at 3 ¾”. Fill the envelope with your choice of Shaking Elements. Add a piece of Tear & Tape over the open edge and fold over to seal the embellishments inside the envelope. If you need to adjust the height of the envelope you can add a strip of tear and tape and fold over to make it smaller. 5- Add the Shaker Envelope to the back of the Cake Piece. 6- Add the Three Colorful Strips to the back of the Shaker Envelope with any type of tape. Make sure they cover the openings you created on the front of the cake. Once they are in place add everything to the center of the White Cardbase with dimensionals. 7- Add the Rose Gold Fork with dimensionals on the right side of the plate. Stamp “It’s time for cake” in Night of Navy in the Pretty In Pink Strip. Add it to the left of the Fork with dimensionals. 8- Stamp your choice of Number in Night of Navy ink on some scratch paper, I used the leftover back piece of an envelope. Fussy cut out and add above the Fork & Greeting with dimensionals. 9- Add some of the Shaker Elements around the card. All Done! I have also created a video walking you through each step.
