Paper Pumpkin Alternatives - April 2005 #3

 Greetings crafty friends!  Today I have more Paper Pumpkin kit alternatives to share with you!   This kit is so fun and bright to play with... Do you Pumpkin?   A Paper Pumpkin kit delivered right to your door monthly.  We do get sneak peeks and hints of what's included each month but never get to see the full kit! But I love the surprise of the kit every month! And each quarter access to an exclusive die that coordinates with the kits for the next three months!  

Here is the sneak of May's Kit

Choose a pay-as-you-go plan with auto shipping so you never miss a month. Or choose a prepay plan for 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months of Paper Pumpkin kits. Shipping Included.

 Now on to my alternatives! 

For the 1st card I cut the floral die cut in half and matted it onto Basic White Cardstock  I added  the little butterflies from the kit stamp set. The florals on the card base are from the upcoming  Gallery Blooms stamps.   I added a stunning embossed and die cut butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle ... all die cut from one of the card base fronts. I added a touch of gold with the butterfly body. 

For my 2nd Card I was inspired by a card I received during a card swap at a demonstrator event! I cut scraps of a card base into square and alternated the square with stamped images from the upcoming Impressions Abloom stamp set and then added some kit stamped butterflies and a stamped greeting!
