Hi! I’m Sara Levin the artful inker an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in the United States. Welcome to my blog and the Sending Good Thoughts A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop for the July 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit! I’m sharing a couple of alternate cards for the Paper Pumpkin Kit and a video tutorial. Let’s take a look.

Sending Good Thoughts A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop

The July 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit contained:
- 9 cards (3 each of 3 designs)
- 9 embossed layers
- Printed Label die cuts
- 3 sheets of printed die cut bottles
- 3 sheets of printed die cut sea life images
- Linen Thread
- Dimensionals
- Glue Dots
- Bermuda Bay Classic Stampin’ Spot
- Exclusive Sending Good Thoughts stamp set
As of this morning Refills for the Sending Good Thoughts Kit were still available HERE
Sending Good Thoughts Alternate 1

For my first Sending Good Thoughts alternative card, I created a fun fold combining elements from the July Kit and products you can find in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.
At the bottom of this “thinking of you” card, you can see part of one of the embossed panels from the kit. And over that, I’ve added a sentiment stamped from the July stamp set.
Then, I’ve added die cut waves.
At the top, I use the Rays of Light background stamp.
Tucked into all of that, I’ve added the ship stamped with the exclusive stamp set.
Sending Good Thoughts Alternate 2

To create this second alternative Paper Pumpkin card, I went with a cleaner layout.
For this one, I started with a card base and layer from the July 2022 kit. Then, I used the exclusive stamp set to stamp seaweed (or kelp), seahorses and starfish.
The sentiment is stamped on one of the label die cuts from the kit.
And, I embellished with Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels found in the Annual Catalog.
