Hi! I’m Sara Levin the artful inker. Welcome to my blog! Today is the A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop A Little Smile. And, the design team have lots of alternative ideas for you for creating with the June 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit!

A Little Smile June 2019 Paper Pumpkin

The June 2019 Paper Pumpkin
was designed for RAKs (random acts of kindness)!
They’re the perfect size for a quick “thank you” or “have a nice day”, etc.
when you’re out and about.
This month’s kit includes:
- 16 cards
- 16 envelopes
- 17 vellum die cuts
- 1 sheet laser cut glimmer elements
- 2 sheets die cut fronds
- 2 sheets die cut labels
- 6 yards Linen thread
- exclusive A Little Smile stamp set
- Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Spot
- 250 adhesive dots
- Carrying pouch
As of this morning, refill kits are still available – HERE

For this alternative card,
start with a Thick Whisper White base.
On a Whisper White panel,
use the texture stamp to create a Coastal Cabana block.
Cut one of the card bases from the A Little Smile kit in half
and add a Coastal Cabana mat.
Wrap with Linen Thread and finish with a bow.
With the 2″ Circle Punch,
cut a mat from Coastal Cabana for the circular vellum element.
Mask the sentiment and stamp it onto a label.
Add the layers to the card base with Dimensionals
to finish this fresh but not beachy thank you card.

Alternative Tag

For this tag,
use the remaining half of the kit card from above.
Using the Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Spot,
swipe ink onto the cardstock.
With the piece in portrait, trim 1/4″ from the cardstock.
To add the top detail, cut with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.
Stamp a starfish in Pineapple Punch
and fussy cut.
Stamp the sentiment on a label
and add a Rhinestone.
Add the stamped pieces with Dimensionals.
Then finish with a loop of Bermuda Bay 1/4″ Striped Ribbon
tied with Linen Thread.
Use for a little treat for someone who is a star!
