Hi! I’m Sara Levin theartfulinker an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in the United States. Welcome to my blog! Today is the A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop Hope Box. And, the design team and I have lots of alternative ideas to share with you for the August 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit. Let’s get started!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop Hope Box
Hope Box Refill

I’ve just checked this morning and the Refill for the August 2021 Paper Pumpkin is still available. The Hope Box Refill includes everything but the exclusive Hope Box stamp set and the Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin’ Spot.
In fact, while I was checking I noticed that there are Refills for six popular Paper Pumpkin Kits as well as three full Kits available.
Details for available Refills and Kits HERE
You do need to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber in order to purchase Refills or Past Kits.
Hope Box Alternative Card 2

For this alternative card, I built off of the “leftovers” I had from the first alternative card I made for the August Paper Pumpkin Kit.
And, I decided that I wanted a sentiment that could be used in both a “sending caring thoughts your way” and a more sarcastic way — think “miracles happen, I’m sending this birthday card on time”.
Whichever intent is yours, there’s plenty of room on the inside to complete your message regarding those miracles.
Alternative Card 3

And for this third alternative card, I wanted to use more of those lovely colors in the kit. I just love the color combinations and patterns!
Now you may be thinking “what kind of sentiment is “because you”?” The answer is a very general sentiment.
Think “because you”:
- had a birthday
- did that thing and I want to thank you
- are my friend
- had a day
You get the idea!
