August 2017 Paper Pumpkin Giftable Greetings Alternatives

The August 2017 Giftable Greetings Paper Pumpkin kit is tropical themed, with bright colors, beautiful flowers and leaf die cuts.  It also includes a decorative box you can use to wrap up all your creations and give as a gift if you desire.  The kit includes enough supplies to make eight handmade cards with various greetings.  Some of the greetings are pre-printed and some can be stamped. 

I completely depleted this box and ended up with about 24 cards! These are the extras I used on my alternatives.  All other items were supplied in the August 2017 Giftable Greetings Paper Pumpkin kit.  Most of my inspiration came from Pinterest, of course!

Cards 1 to 3 of 7 alternatives.

We spent a couple days babysitting our grand sons, so I grabbed the August 2017 Paper Pumpkin box to work on while we were there. 

The boys are 11 and 13 so they don’t really ‘need’ us to do the entertaining anymore.  I didn’t stray too far from the directions as I hadn’t taken much else with me. 

Once I got home, I added some faux brads to a couple of them by punching tiny circles from cardstock and adding Crystal Effects.
