July 2018 Picnic Paradise Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

This July 2018 Picnic Paradise Paper Pumpkin kit has enough supplies to make twelve 3"x 3" cards, with envelopes, and 4 cute picnic baskets. A 9-piece stamp set, Ink Spot, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals, White Baker's Twine, Gingham Tissue Paper, Printed Vellum, Tag & Label pieces & Fruit die cuts are all included! Since I don't use 3" x 3" cards I decided to make full-size cards as usual.


A Card from my stash.
Green Galore ink for the phrase and stripes.
I backed my strawberry with white cardstock.
Pearlized Doilies.
Red sequins.

B Ruby Red card.
White panel put through the Basket Weave EF.
Re-colored the white baker’s twine by running it through the Lemon Lime Twist ink pad.
Colored my apple with Wink of Stella.
Green sequins.

C White card then a Brilliant Blue panel.
Splattered my white panel using a wet toothbrush and Real Red re-inker.  Punched the flower with the Daisy Punch.  I backed the flower opening with a piece of an envelope. The stem is stamped with Lemon Lime Twist ink from the Jar of Love stamp set. The phrase is stamped with Brilliant Blue ink from the Love What You Do stamp set.
Green sequins and a button.

D Lemon Lime Twist card.
Cut Crumb Cake cardstock with the Delicate Lace Edgelits.  Used three hearts from the edgelit to add to my card.
Used Wink of Stella on the apple and hearts.

E Brilliant Blue card.
Splattered my white panel using a wet toothbrush and Real Red re-inker then ran it through the Brick Wall EF.  Sponged with Crumb Cake ink.

F Real Red card.
I cut one of the note cards supplied in the kit in half.  I used my Soft Suede marker to draw the stitching lines – it was easier than using the stitched stamp that came in the kit.
Real Red ink for the phrase.
Strawberries were backed with black cardstock and sponged in white ink.
Used the basket handle and brads that were in the kit.

Sponged with Soft Suede.  Used my Brilliant Blue marker to add the stem placement.

H Crumb Cake card.
Jar of Love stamp set stamped in Crumb Cake ink and sponged with Soft Suede.
Used the Everyday Jars Framelits to cut them out.  I did add a pleat of blue tissue paper under the small lid but it didn’t show up very good.
The blueberry jelly was stamped with Brilliant Blue ink.
I used my ¾” circle punch to make a smaller blueberry and my Brilliant Blue marker to add the stem placement.
The white panel was put through the Stylish Stripes EF.
Blue sequins.

I Green Galore card sponged with Soft Suede ink.
I used a piece of the tissue supplied in the kit as my background.
I cut down one of the note cards supplied in the kit using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I then had to trim the vellum piece with a pair of decorative scissors from my stash.
Sponged my berries with white ink and used my Brilliant Blue marker to add the stem placement.
Lemon Lime Twist ink was used for the phrase.
Topped with sequins.

J Real Red card.

Cut the stems off my strawberries then stamped them with seeds in Basic Grey ink from the Waterfront stamp set.  Sponged in white ink.
Jar from Jar of Love stamp set stamped in Basic Grey ink and cut out with the Everyday Jars Framelits.  I also cut another jar from a piece of Window Sheet.  I split the jars and added a half inch to make it a little taller.
The phrase is backed with a piece of the envelope.
Red and silver sequins.
