Paper Pumpkin Possibilities April Blog Hop All The Little Things

It's time to hop along with the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities April Blog Hop as we showcase alternative projects using the All The Little Things Kit. Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help spark your creativity.

This month's kit is so pretty and I just love the foil accents on the die cuts. For my alternative card design, I decided to mix and match some of the items from the kit with products from current catalogs. I wanted to keep the design simple but step it up a bit with some embossing and a little intricate die cutting for the background. I chose the single floral die cut as my focal image and used one of the sentiments from the exclusive stamp set included in the kit along with the retiring Split Card Textures Dies and the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder to create the background.

One of my favorite ways to create alternative card designs with Paper Pumpkin kits, is to take one element of the kit and create a design around it. When I saw the single floral die cut with the foil accents, I knew that was the element I wanted to use for my focal design. To help make the floral image pop, I chose to use Petal Pink cardstock for the card base and Basic White cardstock for the card front. to add some texture to the design, I die cut the card front with the floral die from the Split Card Textures Dies to add some detail and then embossed the layer with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing for some subtle texture. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the exclusive stamp set in the kit with Gold embossing powder, onto a Basic White sentiment label die cut with the Something Fancy Dies. I layered it onto the Petal Pink label that I die cut with the same die set. To assemble the card, I attached the card front to the card base and added the floral die cut to the bottom right corner. I attached the sentiment label to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and added some Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels from the kit for a touch of bling.
