Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - April 2026- Lakeside Retreat

 


Greetings my Crafty Friends!   Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop!  I am so excited to be a part of this team of hoppers sharing alternative designs for each month's Paper Pumpkin kit.  This month's kit is all about the April 2026 – Lakeside Retreat.

Growing up I love to fish with my dad! So I was super excited to receive and create with this kit!  Which also coordinates with the upcoming and soon to be released Waterside Retreat Suite!

 


The designs in the kit are fabulous, but as always I wanted to get a little creative and make alternatives. So on to the show!

For my first alternative, I created a Z fold card using the striped card base.  The only product I added to this card was the Misty Moonlight ink for the birds.



For my second card I cut one card base in half and used the plaid for my card front.  I used a Peaceful Pine card base and split rectangle behind my image.  I did add some Smoky Slate ink for my birds.

 


For my third and forth alternative I cut the remaining half of my card base (from card #2) in half again and used each half as a focal point for a landscape card. I did add Smoky Slate ink and stamps from the Scenic Coast stamp set (coming May 5th for the sailboat) and some Linen Thread. I also used a cut up envelope for an additional piece of “designer” paper.  

 



 

Which is your favorite? Thinking I may need a refill!  Don’t forget to hop along with the rest of the team!
