Hi! I’m Sara Levin theartfulinker an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in the US. Welcome to my blog! Today, I’m sharing my first couple May 2021 Paper Pumpkin alternates along with a video tutorial for making them.
May 2021 Paper Pumpkin Alternates

The Batter Up kit contents were:
- 9 printed cards (3) each of (3) designs
- 9 printed envelopes
- 3 sheets of printed die cuts
- 1 sheet of white die cut tags
- White Baker’s Twine
- 50 resin dots
- 1 sheet of dimensionals
- 1 sheet of glue dots
- Exclusive Batter Up stamp set
- Night of Navy Classic Stampin’ Spot

For my first alternate card for the Batter Up kit, I wanted to stick with the kit elements but give them a new look.
By using the card front from the kit in this way, your recipient doesn’t have to love baseball. Though it’s okay if they do!!
The “you’re the best” sentiment can be sent to anyone. Congratulate someone on a job well done, let someone know how much you care for them, or even thank someone for that thing they did.

When I got to my second alternate for the Batter Up kit, I was ready to just play with the stamps. So, I created this fun arc/ray element in Coastal Cabana. Watch the video below — it’s super easy to create. And I’m sure you can think of lots of ways to use it.
Again the sentiment is quite versatile! This card works as a thank you: it’s almost the end of the year and maybe there are some volunteers or teachers that deserve a big thanks; perfect for one of the many medical professionals that have helped us all get through this last year. Or maybe you need to recognize your “favorite” kid. But, make some extras for when it’s time to recognize your other “favorite” kids
