Oh, my goodness! I have two fun things to share with you today. The first is that Stampin’ Up! is having a flash sale for new Paper Pumpkin subscribers. If you’ve never tried these kits, click here to learn more. Then hurry & scroll down to take advantage of this Flash Sale. (The supply for this sale is limited.)) The second is that I saw a super cute idea from Jessica Cruz de Urrutia on the Paper Pumpkin Fan Club. She turned the ghost from the September kit into a baby shark! It was so adorable, I HAD to CASE this idea and make a card of my own. A big cheers to Jessica!

I made my baby shark slightly different that the one that Jessica shares in her video. I didn’t have the Four-Petal Flower Punch and used the Leaf Punch for both the dorsal fin and the tail. Plus I made the shark’s teeth a little differently.

Products:  See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Here are the steps I took to create my version.

• Stamp the mouth (using the moon stamp) on a ghost from the kit in Flirty Flamingo ink.

• Punch a 3/4″ Basic Black circle. Punch a Whisper White set of leaves.
• Color the leaves and the shark with the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends marker as shown.

• Punch a scrap of Whisper White first with the 1/2″ Circle Punch. Then encompass and punch this with the Starburst Punch by placing two “teeth” of this punch super close to the 1/2″ circle.

• Angle in and snip out four “teeth.”

• Adhere the 3/4″ black circle behind to make the eyes black.
• Add the dorsal fin (the skinny leaf) coming out from behind the top of the head.
• Add the two other leaves to form the tail.
• Then glue on the teeth.

It’s rare that I share a Paper Pumpkin alternate project idea AND my supply list below includes a link to the full kit I used. Yes! Stampin’ Up! has extras of this September 2018 Frights & Delights Paper Pumpkin kit right now!! But you need to be an active subscriber to purchase any past kits. So keep that in mind if you’d like to get your hands on this full kit or any other past kits that are available.
