Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Inked Occasions

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop to feature alternative projects for the Inked Occasions April 2024 kit.  This kit came with 9 cards and envelopes, 3 each of 3 designs with an alcohol ink effect. You can see the intended designs for the kit below:

I opted to cut up 2 of the gorgeous cards bases.  I used the top left and lower right cards.  These were added to card bases and layers with my cardstocks. 

The front center card design has the sentiment stamped directly onto the printed card front with Highland Heather Stampin' Pad.  And I stamped tiny butterflies with Peach Pie Stampin' Pad.  So simple and gorgeous!

This card is on a Highland Heather card base.  The sentiment is stamped with Highland Heather and Peach Pie Stampin' Pads onto punched To the Point punched label layers.  I added Peach Pie ribbon and Brushed Brass Butterflies. 

This is z-fold card base using Summer Splash cardstock.  The card front printed paper is mounted onto a layer of Peach Pie cardstock.  

The sentiment is stamped with Peach Pie Stampin' Pad onto punched label layers with loops of Gold trim to complement the gold foil in this paper. My supplies are listed at the end of this post. 

This is the same z-fold card base on Summer Splash cardstock.  The card front has a layer of Highland Heather cardstock behind the printed layer.  The Labeled with Love punched labels are a background of Gold Foil with the stamped sentiment of Highland Heather Stampin' Pad. 

I hope you enjoy my ideas and that it inspires you to create with your kit!
