August 2021 Paper Pumpkin Alternates
Hope Box Alternate 1

For this alternative Paper Pumpkin card, I started by stamping a random pattern background design using one of the exclusive Hope Box stamps in Pool Party.
Then, I add a piece of one of the delicate die cut elements with flowers and butterflies.
And over that, I adhered a Tailor Made Tags die cut stamped with a sentiment from the Hope Box set. Then, I added a faux tassel before accenting with some Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins.
HERE’s a Chart for the Tailor Made Tags
Tuck this note in one of the boxes heading to college with your student or under a pillow before you leave. Or brighten their mailbox in that first couple of weeks away from home. Notes from home were ALWAYS a hit with my student!
Hope Box Alternate 2

For this second alternative, I created an easy scrapbook page using elements from the August 2021 kit.
This page is perfect to hang on a wall in a new dorm room. Add a family photo, pictures of friends or even the new college student with a small note of encouragement on the journaling tag.
