Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Autumn Wishes Alternative Cards using the Autumn Abundance September 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! Since this weekend is our Canadian Thanksgiving, I decided to create two alternative cards for the holiday!

But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. Perfect for this time of year!

The Details of My Autumn Wishes Alternative Cards

My Hey Pumpkin Card

For my first alternative card, I decided to do some colouring with my Stampin’ Blends using the girl with the pumpkins from the Warms My Heart Stamp Set. I thought she would suit my autumnal theme very well!

I used the front half of the smaller leaves card to create a focal point for my girl. To separate her from the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder that I used for the Wild Wheat background, I added a Cajun Craze die cut circle using the Spotlight on Nature Dies.

Next, I added the bronze foil leaf in the kit and two more leaves for which I used the add-on Every Celebration Dies. For embellishments, I added three Faux Glass Dots that matched my colour scheme.

Measurements:

• Basic White Card Base:
  • 8 ½” x 4 ¼”
  • 3” x 2 ¼” (to stamp girl)
• Wild Wheat:
  • 5 ¼” x 4”
  • Scrap for leaf
• Cajun Craze:
  • 2-1/8” x 2-1/8”
  • Scrap for leaf
• Kit Leaves Card Front:
  • 4” x 4”
• Other Pieces from Kit:
  • Bronze Leaf
  • Sentiment

My Triple Panel Card

For my second alternative card using the Autumn Abundance September 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a triple panel card. 

Since I had leftover the back of the smaller card, I used it for the front of this card. For the front panel, I die cut a Poppy Parade circle using the Spotlight on Nature Dies to layer behind my sentiment. I added some Linen Thread tied into a bow for my embellishment.

I made the Cajun Craze mat a little longer and scored it to create a tab that I tucked in behind the log DSP.

For the middle panel, I used the front of the log card base and then added a sentiment with stamped off leaves in Cajun Craze, Wild Wheat and Poppy Parade. 

Since I planned to send this card to my family for Thanksgiving, I wanted the final panel to say, “Happy Thanksgiving” and the sentiments from The Gift of Fall August 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit were perfect for my card! They were stamped in Cajun Craze and Poppy Parade. One final leaf was stamped in Wild Wheat beside the sentiment.
