A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop Pick of the Crop

Hi! I’m Sara Levin the artful inker. Welcome to my blog and today’s A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop Pick of the Crop! The design team and I have lots of alternate ideas to share with you for the June 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit. Let’s take a look at what I’ve created. Enjoy the cards and video!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop Pick of the Crop

Pick of the Crop Kit

The June 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit contained:

• 9 cards (3 each of 3 designs)
• 9 printed/lined envelopes
• 9 sheets of printed die cuts
• 1 sheet of vellum die cuts
• Linen Thread
• Dimensionals
• Glue Dots
• Mini Shopping Bag
• Calypso Coral Classic Stampin’ Spot
• Exclusive Pick of the Crop stamp set

As of this morning both the Pick of the Crop Refill Kit and the Mini Shopping Bags Add On are available.

Pick of the Crop Alternate 1

For this Pick of the Crop alternate card, I focused on using the great strawberry stamp in the June 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit.

By using my Stampin’ Blends, I was able to add easy shading to bring the strawberries to life.

Then, I’ve added a little texture using the Stitched Greenery Die and the Hive 3D Embossing Folder.

Finishing touches are a heat embossed sentiment and a ruffle of White Crinkled Seam Binding.

See the video below.

And for this second alternate idea for the Pick of the Crop Paper Pumpkin Kit, I created a little treat box out of the market cart die cut.

This 3D cart stands on its own.  And I know you’ll find it perfect for a gift card or little candy or baked goody to share with family, friends or co-workers during the summer.

See the video below.
